6.3. Upgrading from Red Hat Storage 2.1 to Red Hat Storage 3.0 for Systems Subscribed to Red Hat Satellite Server

  1. Unmount all the clients using the following command:
    umount mount-name
  2. Stop the volumes using the following command:
    # gluster volume stop volname
  3. Unmount the data partition(s) on the servers using the following command:
    umount mount-point
  4. Ensure that the Red Hat Storage 2.1 server is updated to Red Hat Storage 2.1 Update 4, by running the following command:
    # yum update
  5. Create an Activation Key at the Red Hat Satellite Server, and associate it with the following channels. For more information, refer to Section 4.4, “Installing from Red Hat Satellite Server”
    Base Channel: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v.6 for 64-bit x86_64)
    
    Child channels:
    RHEL Server Scalable File System (v. 6 for x86_64)
    Red Hat Storage Server 3 (RHEL 6 for x86_64)
    1. For Red Hat Storage 3.0.4 or later, if you require the Samba package add the following child channel:
      Red Hat Gluster 3 Samba (RHEL 6 for x86_64)
  6. Unregister your system from Red Hat Satellite by following these steps:
    1. Log in to the Red Hat Satellite server.
    2. Click on the Systems tab in the top navigation bar and then the name of the old or duplicated system in the System List.
    3. Click the delete system link in the top-right corner of the page.
    4. To confirm the system profile deletion by clicking the Delete System button.
  7. On the updated Red Hat Storage 2.1 Update 4 server, run the following command:
    # rhnreg_ks --username username --password password --force --activationkey Activation Key ID
    This uses the prepared Activation Key and re-registers the system to the Red Hat Storage 3.0 channels on the Red Hat Satellite Server.
  8. Verify if the channel subscriptions have changed to the following:
    # rhn-channel --list
    rhel-x86_64-server-6
    rhel-x86_64-server-6-rhs-3
    rhel-x86_64-server-sfs-6
    For Red Hat Storage 3.0.4 or later, if you have enabled the Samba channel, then verify if you have the following channel:
    rhel-x86_64-server-6-rh-gluster-3-samba
  9. Run the following command to upgrade to Red Hat Storage 3.0.
    # yum update
  10. Reboot, and run volume and data integrity checks.
