Hello, is it possible to have different kernel and ocfs version on different nodes? Here: ocfs2 v1.1.7 Kernel 2.6.5-7.244 (SuSE) and Ocfs2 v1.2.1 Kernel 2.6.5-7.257 (SuSE) -------- Marco Friebe ______________________________________ Systemberater Robotron Datenbank-Software GmbH Stuttgarter Stra?e 29 01189 Dresden Telefon: +49 (0) 351/4021 655 Telefax: +49 (0) 351/4021 696 Mailto: <mailto:marco.friebe at robotron.de> marco.friebe at robotron.de Web: <http://www.robotron.de> www.robotron.de -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

As we never test such mixed setups, we never recommended it. Also, it is much easier to manage clusters when one has the same software on all the nodes.

Thanks for your answers. It was only meant to be a temporary solution. While updating one node the others have to be available. No downtime for all nodes in the same time frame. ------- Marco Friebe ______________________________________ Systemberater Robotron Datenbank-Software GmbH Stuttgarter Stra?e 29 01189 Dresden Telefon: +49 (0) 351/4021 655 Telefax: +49 (0) 351/4021 696 Mailto: marco.friebe at robotron.de Web: www.robotron.de -----Urspr?ngliche Nachricht----- Von: Sunil Mushran [mailto:Sunil.Mushran at oracle.com] Gesendet: Dienstag, 13.

I would not recommend that for 1.1.7 to 1.2.1. While neither the on-disk format nor the messaging has changed since 1.0, there have been other internal changes which could cause problems. The recommendation is documented in the faq... under "Upgrading to 1.2.1". Marco Friebe wrote:> Thanks for your answers. > > It was only meant to be a temporary solution.
