Upgrade details for EMI BDII

This page provides further details for upgrading to EMI BDII.

Requirements

The following components need to be fairly recent:

• ncm-gip2 >= 2.7.1-1
• ncm-lcgbdii >= 2.7.1-1

Upgrading from EMI-1.0 to EMI-2.0

1. Deploy the upgrade
2. Repair files overwritten by the new RPMs:

   ncm-ncd --configure lcgbdii gip2
   

Upgrading from gLite-2 to EMI

These instructions only apply for a standalone BDII, be careful if collocating with another service.

1. Nothing on BDII nodes needs preserving, so a re-install is a good alternative.

2. Temporarily disable Quattor on the node:

   touch /etc/noquattor
   

3. Deploy the upgrade
4. Clean up, removing all gLite, BDII, gip, ldap2.4 and yaim related RPMs and directories
5. Re-enable Quattor and reconfigure:

   rm /etc/noquattor
   ccm-fetch
   ncm-ncd --configure lcgbdii gip2
   

Upgrading from gLite-1 to EMI

Not supported, re-install.
