Upgrade to Synnefo v0.14¶

The upgrade to v0.14 consists in three steps:

Bring down services and backup databases.
Upgrade packages, migrate the databases and configure settings.
Register services to astakos and perform a quota-related data migration.
Bring up all services.

Warning

It is strongly suggested that you keep separate database backups for each service after the completion of each step.

1. Bring web services down, backup databases¶

All web services must be brought down so that the database maintains a predictable and consistent state during the migration process:
```
$ service gunicorn stop
$ service snf-dispatcher stop
$ service snf-ganeti-eventd stop
```
Backup databases for recovery to a pre-migration state.
Keep the database servers running during the migration process

2. Upgrade Synnefo and configure settings¶

2.1 Install the new versions of packages¶

astakos.host$ apt-get install \
                        python-objpool \
                        snf-common \
                        python-astakosclient \
                        snf-django-lib \
                        snf-webproject \
                        snf-branding \
                        snf-astakos-app

cyclades.host$ apt-get install \
                        python-objpool \
                        snf-common \
                        python-astakosclient \
                        snf-django-lib \
                        snf-webproject \
                        snf-branding \
                        snf-pithos-backend \
                        snf-cyclades-app

pithos.host$ apt-get install \
                        python-objpool \
                        snf-common \
                        python-astakosclient \
                        snf-django-lib \
                        snf-webproject \
                        snf-branding \
                        snf-pithos-backend \
                        snf-pithos-app \
                        snf-pithos-webclient

ganeti.node$ apt-get install \
                        python-objpool \
                        snf-common \
                        snf-cyclades-gtools \
                        snf-pithos-backend

Note

Make sure ‘snf-webproject’ has the same version as ‘snf-common’.

Note

Package ‘kamaki’, installed on all nodes in version 0.13, is not required any more and can safely be uninstalled.

Note

Installing the packages will cause services to start. Make sure you bring them down again (at least gunicorn, snf-dispatcher).

2.2 Sync and migrate the database¶

Note

If you are asked about stale content types during the migration process, answer ‘no’ and let the migration finish.

astakos-host$ snf-manage syncdb
astakos-host$ snf-manage migrate quotaholder_app 0001 --fake
astakos-host$ snf-manage migrate quotaholder_app
astakos-host$ snf-manage migrate im

cyclades-host$ snf-manage syncdb
cyclades-host$ snf-manage migrate

pithos-host$ pithos-migrate upgrade head

2.3 Configure Base URL settings for all services¶

In order to make all services’ URLs configurable and discoverable from a single endpoint in Astakos through the Openstack Keystone API, every service has a XXXXX_BASE_URL setting, or it’s old corresponding setting was renamed to this. Therefore:

Rename ASTAKOS_URL setting to ASTAKOS_BASE_URL everywhere in your settings, in all nodes and all config files. This must point to the top-level Astakos URL.
In Cyclades settings, rename the APP_INSTALL_URL setting to CYCLADES_BASE_URL. If no such setting has been configured, you must set it. It must point to the top-level Cyclades URL. Rename CYCLADES_ASTAKOS_SERVICE_TOKEN to CYCLADES_SERVICE_TOKEN.
In Pithos settings, introduce a PITHOS_BASE_URL setting; it must point to the top-level Pithos URL. Rename PITHOS_QUOTAHOLDER_POOLSIZE, if set, to PITHOS_ASTAKOSCLIENT_POOLSIZE.
In all 20-<service>-cloudbar.conf files change setting CLOUDBAR_SERVICES_URL to point to ASTAKOS_BASE_URL/ui/get_services, where ASTAKOS_BASE_URL as above. Similarly, set CLOUDBAR_MENU_URL to ASTAKOS_BASE_URL/ui/get_menu.

If two or more services are installed on the same machine, make sure their base URLs do not clash. You can distinguish them with a suffix, e.g. ASTAKOS_BASE_URL = "https://node1.example.com/astakos" and CYCLADES_BASE_URL = "https://node1.example.com/cyclades".

3 Register services and migrate quota¶

You need to register astakos as a component. Moreover you need to register all services provided by cyclades and pithos. Running the following script you will be asked to provide the base installation URL for each component. You will also need to specify the UI URL for astakos.

The former is the location where each component resides; it should equal the <component_name>_BASE_URL as specified in the respective component settings (see above).

The latter is the URL that appears in the Cloudbar and leads to the component UI. If you want to follow the default setup, set the UI URL to <base_url>/ui/ where base_url is the component’s base URL as explained before.

For example, for Astakos, if BASE_URL = https://accounts.example.synnefo.org/astakos, then UI_URL = https://accounts.example.synnefo.org/astakos/ui/):

astakos-host$ snf-component-register

(ATTENTION: Make sure to go to the next step WITHOUT running snf-manage resource-modify, as suggested at the end of this command.)

Note

This command is equivalent to running the following series of commands; in each host it exports the respective service definitions, copies the exported json file to the astakos host, where it finally imports it:

astakos-host$ snf-manage component-add astakos ui_url
astakos-host$ snf-manage service-export-astakos > astakos.json
astakos-host$ snf-manage service-import --json astakos.json
cyclades-host$ snf-manage service-export-cyclades > cyclades.json
# copy the file to astakos-host
astakos-host$ snf-manage service-import --json cyclades.json
pithos-host$ snf-manage service-export-pithos > pithos.json
# copy the file to astakos-host
astakos-host$ snf-manage service-import --json pithos.json

Run:

astakos-host$ snf-manage component-list

to make sure that all UI URLs are set to the correct value (<base_url>/ui/ as explained above). If you have changed some <component_name>_BASE_URL in the previous step, you will need to update the UI URL with:

snf-manage component-modify <component_name> --url new_ui_url

The limit on the pending project applications is since 0.14 handled as an Astakos resource, rather than a custom setting. So, as a last step we need to run:

astakos-host$ astakos-migrate-0.14

This will prompt you to set this limit (replacing setting ASTAKOS_PENDING_APPLICATION_LIMIT) and then automatically migrate the user-specific base quota for the new resource astakos.pending_app using the deprecated user setting.

You are now done migrating from Synnefo v0.13 to v0.14. Please test your installation to make sure everything works as expected.

4. Update astakos email notification settings¶

Make sure to update your configuration to include settings refered in the updated Email delivery configuration section of the quick installation admin guide.

5. Bring all services up¶

After the upgrade is finished, we bring up all services:

astakos.host  # service gunicorn start
cyclades.host # service gunicorn start
pithos.host   # service gunicorn start

cyclades.host # service snf-dispatcher start
