OK Simon, thanks. I suppose we're all in the same boat having to get change management approval etc!

Always. We have had the service eat itself BTW by having different code releases and trying this. Yes its a PITA that we have to get a change approval for it (so we don't do it as often as we should)... The upgrade process upgrades the SMB registry, we have also seen the CTDB lock stuff break when they are not running the same code release, so now we just don't do this.

This requires a brief outage of the SMB service to upgrade gpfs.smb to the newer version across all protocol nodes. The procedure outlined here is intended to reduce the outage to a minimum. Previously I've upgraded nodes one at a time over the course of a few days. Is the impact just that we won't be supported, or will a hole open up beneath my feet and swallow me whole? I really don't fancy the headache of getting approvals to get an outage of even 5 minutes at 6am.... Cheers Richard
