That's all that we've tested.  I am sure you could understand the linear
explosion that comes with trying to test upgrades from many versions to
a single version.

I can't think of anything specific that should impede your upgrade.  I
don't think there was anything significant between 1.6.4.3 and the
latest 1.6 that would impact the success of an upgrade to 1.8.

[Lustre-discuss] Upgrade from Lustre 1.6.4.3 to 1.8.1.1

2010-01-13 Thread Götz Waschk
Hi everyone,

I'm planning a Lustre server upgrade. Currently I'm running 1.6.4.3
and I want to upgrade to 1.8.1.1. The operations manual states that
only upgrades from the latest 1.6.x version are supported. Do you
recommend to upgrade to the latest 1.6.x first or would it be rather
safe to try the direct upgrade? I'm not using quotas on these servers.
