Hi,

We have 3 DB servers to upgrade, hardware + OS + OpenAFS (1.2.13 to 1.4.1).
These upgrades imply moving the data volumes out of the old server, doing hardware and software install, and moving the data back into the new server. I estimate that upgrading one server could take about 3 days (most of it used for transfers), and I can upgrade only one at a time (spare room for moved data).

This means that, during about 10 days, DB servers with 2 different versions of OpenAFS will have to cohabit (1 x 1.4.1 and 2 x 1.2.13, then 2 x 1.4.1 and 1 x 1.2.13, before the final 3 x 1.4.1).

Once upon a time, AFS documentation said that all DB servers must run the same AFS version, and so that they should be upgraded in the shortest lapse of time. Is this still true? Is the above 10 days cohabitation possible, or what are the problems likely to arise?

Thanks for your help,
Frederic Gilbert.
