Follow upgrade instructions in HPE Cray EX System Software Getting Started Guide (S-8000) to upgrade the UAN software product. Those instructions provide:
cne-install
toolIf UAN and COS were upgraded at the same time using cne-install
, skip these instructions and Boot UANs.
cne-install
The Compute Node Environment (CNE) installer (cne-install
) simplifies upgrading several products of the HPE Cray EX software like SLE, COS, Slingshot Host Software, UAN, SMA, and SAT by providing the ability to automate many CNE upgrade tasks. cne-install
does not support fresh installations of the CNE software.
The cne-install
tool automates the upgrade of several compute node environment software products from tarball to producing a compute node image without interaction. This new tool automates the following:
sat bootprep
to create and customize the compute and UAN node imagesThe cne-install
tool can also be used to automate only specific stages of this process, allowing administrators to also use manual steps when necessary.
The UAN and COS installation and upgrade processes based on install.sh
do not automatically affect the state of any other existing COS software on the system, for example COS software like the Data Virtualization Service (DVS) running on non-compute node (NCN) worker nodes or any COS software that runs on compute nodes. Administrators must perform additional procedures after the install.sh
script has completed to use those upgraded software components. All of those tasks, however are performed automatically when administrators upgrade UAN via the cne-install
tool.
HPE recommends that customers:
cne-install
tool whenever possible. This method greatly reduces chance of errors and saves customers time.cne-install
even if the other CNE products cannot be upgraded as well at the same time. The UAN software products depends heavily on the COS software product code. Therefore, COS upgrades will almost always require a UAN upgrade.Customer sites can use cne-install
to upgrade UAN separately from COS, when necessary.
cne-install
Perform this procedure if UAN was not already upgraded according to the workflow in the HPE Cray EX System Software Getting Started Guide (S-8000).
If you only want to upgrade UAN, only the UAN tarball should be copied in this directory. The cne-install
tool inspects the contents of the media directory and automatically upgrades supported products.
cne-install
will create the compute node and UAN images, as well as the BOS session templates required to boot those images. The tool will log progress is logged to LOG_DIR
(defaults to $PWD/log
) and output goes to stdout. If cne-install
fails, the user can perform manual steps to correct the action, then restart cne-install
from any stage or just re-run that stage by itself.
You do not need to perform any additional steps described in this document to configure UAN.
The cne-install
tool does not reboot compute nodes or UANs. The name of the UAN bos-sessiontemplate file is the same one from the sat bootprep
input files that were used in the cne-install
command.
Performing a manual upgrade of UAN from one version to the next follows the same general process as a fresh install. Some considerations may need to be made when merging the existing CFS configuration with the latest CFS configuration provided by the release.
The overall workflow for completing a UAN upgrade involves:
