Ok, if you can guarantee that a gmetad will never hear from an old and a new gmond at the same time, then you might be right. I just wanted to handle that case and make sure that all numbers add up correctly, no matter what type they happen to be.

I haven't yet validated this by testing the setup, but from my understanding of the code, you should be able to upgrade safely by doing : 1) upgrade gmetad to 3.1 (will be able to pull and process from old gmond) 2) upgrade gmond to 3.1 in a cluster by cluster basis until you are done. running both 3.0 and 3.1 in the same cluster is not supported. if you have a hierarchy of gmetad you will need to update them top to bottom as well (a 3.1 gmetad will do the summary right for 3.1 or 3.0) Carlo ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
