[Ocfs-users] REGARDING TO DOWNGRAING OCFS FROM 1.0.14-1 TO 1.0.9-12
Hi, all. My name is Kenichiro Ochi, in Oracle Japan Support. Customer examines upgrading OCFS from 1.0.9-12 to 1.0.14-1. And customer asked us a question about the way of downgrading to 1.0.9-12. (customer presumes a case in case after the upgrade.) We tested the following... 0.After the upgrade 1.umount OCFS volume on all nodes 2.uninstall rpm (V1.0.14-1) # rpm -e ocfs-tools-1.0.10-1 # rpm -e ocfs-2.4.9-e-1.0.14-1 # rpm -e ocfs-support-1.0.10-1 3.install rpm (V1.0.9-12) # rpm -ivh ocfs-support-1.0.9-12.i686.rpm # rpm -ivh ocfs-2.4.9-e-1.0.9-12.i686.rpm # rpm -ivh ocfs-tools-1.0.9-12.i686.rpm Actually, there was no problem in the behaviour with this procedure. And, I comfirmed this README. (http://oss.oracle.com/projects/ocfs/dist/files/README) This readme says "Running a mix of nodes with 1.0.9 or earlier and 1.0.14 is NOT recommended." But, as for the downgrading from 1.0.14-1 to 1.0.9-12, there is no description in this document. Expert, Is there a problem with the above procedure? I would appreciate it if I could receive feedback on it at your earliest convenience. Since I'm not in the mailing list, please reply directly back to me. Thank you in advance.
