Hello,
so the problem comes indeed from the fact I am not using CentOS or rhel
The list of rhel distribution supportedby the tool is in the
`scale_rhel_distribution` list in
`/usr/lpp/mmfs/5.1.9.2/ansible-toolkit/ansible/ibm-spectrum-scale-install-infra/roles/core_common/vars/main.yml`
and
`/usr/lpp/mmfs/5.1.9.2/ansible-toolkit/ansible/ibm-spectrum-scale-install-infra/roles/core_upgrade/vars/main.yml`
or
`/usr/lpp/mmfs/5.1.9.2/ansible-toolkit/ansible/ibm-spectrum-scale-install-infra/roles/core_install/vars/main.yml`
depending if you upgradingare installing your cluster
You first have to find under which name ansible recognise your OS with:
# ansible localhost -m'ansible.builtin.setup' | grep
\"ansible_distribution\":
"ansible_distribution": "Scientific",
Then you add it to the files described above.
scale_rhel_distribution:
- RedHat
- CentOS
- Scientific
After that I managed to upgrade
I suppose it works also for other centos/rhel alternative like rocky and
alma
Best

I would think that if you export LINUX_DISTRIBUTION=REDHAT_AS_LINUX before you
run the precheck, it might work

Subject: Re: [gpfsug-discuss] upgrading cluster with toolkit: precheck fails with
"'scale_nfs_url' is undefined"
Hello,
I think I found part of the cause of the problem.
I am using scientific linux 7 so maybe its too different from RHEL7 so the
following part of the ansible code doesn't find the correct version
- name: upgrade | nfs path
set_fact:
scale_nfs_url: 'ganesha_rpms/rhel7/'
when: ansible_distribution in scale_rhel_distribution and
ansible_distribution_major_version == '7'
would there be a way for the precheck command to understand that it is an os
similar to rhel 7 ?
For exemple, running that `LINUX_DISTRIBUTION=REDHAT_AS_LINUX
mmbuildgpl` worked previously for mmbuildgpl
Best regards

Hello,
I am working for the Max Planck Institute for Brain Research where we
have a 4 nodes-3PB cluster.
The cluster was installed manually but I am trying to use the toolkit
to upgrade.
During the precheck phase, launched with ./spectrumscale upgrade
precheck, there is an error on all 4 nodes saying
FAILED! => {"msg": "The task includes an option with an undefined
variable. The error was: 'scale_nfs_url' is undefined\n\nThe error
appears to be in
'/usr/lpp/mmfs/5.1.9.2/ansible-toolkit/ansible/upgrade_sample/playbook_repo_create.yml':
line 455, column 11, but may\nbe elsewhere in the file depending on
the exact syntax problem.\n\nThe offending line appears to be:\n\n\n
- name: upgrade | configure nfs YUM repository\n ^ here\n"}
Has anyone seen something like that before and/or knows where it could
come from ?
Thanks in advance
Paul
