How to migrate site from CL 5.7 to 6.1.2

[Niklas Schueler]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to promote a site from a cloverleaf 5.7 to a 6.1.2. I know that there is the hcisitepromoteprep command to get the hsc file for the hcisitepromote command but somehow I always get the error message

I’ve never used hcisitepromoteprep so I’m not going to try and speak to that.

I’ve always used hcirootcopy to upgrade a site from one cloverleaf version to another.

I can’t say if one is better than the other but hcirootcopy has done the job for me in case you haven’t tried it.

Here is a relevant code snipett of interest to illustrate, which came from my bigger script ( 60_site__hcirootcopy.ksh ) also seen later on.

Code:

#—————————-
# migrate specified site name
#—————————-

# Name:
#    hcirootcopy
#
# Usage:
#    hcirootcopy [-f] [-n] [-v] [-s ] [-l ] sourceRoot
#    where
#       -f              = don’t query
#       -n              = test only
#       -v              = verbose
#       -s   = copy a single site or colon-separated list of sites
#               i.e. site1 or site1:site2:site3
#       -l   = copy the sites listed in the file
#               should be newline-formatted, i.e.
#               site1
#               site2
#               site3
#       sourceRoot      = source root directory
#   Options -s and -l may not be used simultaneously
#
# Description:
#    This tool copies files from one root (the source) into another (the
#    ‘current,’ setroot-ed destination).  It is normally used during the
#    process of installing a new Cloverleaf release (i.e., the new root)
#    and preparing it to asuume production-ness from the source root.
#
#    It identifies root-level configuration files and prompts the user
#    for confirmation to copy each (unless ‘-f’ is used).  It also
#    identifies site directories and attempts to hcisiteinit/copy them.

cd $MDA_UPDIR/work
did_or_die “(040) set the default directory to a work directory ( $MDA_UPDIR/work ) for safety”

$HCIROOT/bin/hcirootcopy -v -s $siteName $oldRoot 2>hcirootcopy.err

did_or_die “(050) $HCIROOT/bin/hcirootcopy -n -v -s $siteName $oldRoot 2>hcirootcopy.err”

Here is my entire script ( 60_site__hcirootcopy.ksh ) I wrote for to help with my last upgrade I did from cloverleaf 5.6 to cloverleaf 6.0 if that might help illustrate the code snippet above.

Hi Russ,

thanks a lot for your answer. My problem was, that the sites were on different servers. What I did was creating a new site on the newer Server and import everything there. The only difference was in a few lookup tables and translations.

Here I could solve the problem by opening the tables with notepad++ and comparing the “old” tables with tables from a site I set up at the new system. It turned out, that only the encoding was new.

The problem could be solved by adding the correct header:

Code:

#
dflt_passthrough=0
dflt=
dflt_encoded=false
#

In Addition to that it is necessary to also enter the following code snippet after every table row. It will look like this afterwards:

encoded=0,0 (The snippet which needs to be added)

Code:

…. header information ….

#
dflt_passthrough=0
dflt=
dflt_encoded=false
#
Col1
Col2
encoded=0,0

If you experience problems with translations, you can simply change a small thing (like adding a comment) and save. This will solve the problem.

When I did my upgrade, my cloverleaf sites for 5.6 and 6.0 were on different boxes, too.

I did a NFS mount read only of the physical location of /cloverleaf/qdx5.6 directory onto my cloverleaf 6.0 server and used a symbolic link to make it look like they existed in the right place on my new cloverleaf 6.0 server.

Then I was able to trick it into running hcirootcopy copy as if the older cloverleaf 5.6 version existed on the same box as the newly installed cloverleaf 6.0.

Since the NFS mount is read only no harm can come to the older live cloverleaf version while referencing it on the new cloverleaf box with things like hcirootcopy.

Nor do I run the risk of stepping on environment variables since each version of cloverleaf is running independently on separate servers, which is a common problem when upgrading in place on the same server.

This technique has worked on every upgrade I’ve done to date and also had the added benefit of being able to do a clean scratch install of everything including a higher level of the OS without impacting older existing production.

Here is a directory listing of my /cloverleaf directory on my newer cloverleaf 6.0 server to help illustrate

Code:

drwxrwxr-x    3 hci      staff           256 Feb  8 2013  cis6.0
lrwxrwxrwx    1 hci      staff            41 Mar  1 2013  qdx5.6 -> /nfs/mdahub4sna/upgrade/cloverleaf/qdx5.6
