Christian,

something went wrong here - when you upgrade an array, the basic procedure is to break the array, which in your case, would leave you with two "primaries" - the original primary would have a copy of all of your license key(s), ENS objects, etc. The orphaned secondary (now primary), will also have a copy of all the ENS objects, and will likely be in "evaluation/expired" mode, that is, no license keys.

You then upgrade each server, and then re-build the array, using the original primary as the primary. This should retain all of your license keys, ENS objects, etc. I can't really imagine what went wrong - if it backed up your ENS, the installer knew to perform an upgrade operation, not a fresh install. All I can think of is that when you rebuilt your array, you might've used your previous secondary as the primary, which would've lost/over-written your license keys. But all your ENS objects should still be there - kind of the whole point of an upgrade / patch installation is that it preserve all of your system setup, at least to the extent possible. You should have a setup.log and a tta.2_postinstall.log - anything, well, "unusual" in there? Any errors or complaints?

The logs mention "running upgrade script: UpgradeFrom_430000 430915 -> 431905" and change some attributes.

Then it has

Setting up server beans...
...finished setting up server beans.
Creating objects and links in o=organization

after which it appears to create new objects
+ echo new_person --name "o=Tarantella System Objects/cn=LDAP Profile" --surname Profile --shared 0 --enabled 1 --inherit 0 -
-links "o=organization"


I'm not sure if this means what it sounds like it means
./loadprobe_config: Set the path, args and filter
Changed tarantella-config-server-tier2loadbalancing-probe for host iego.cens.nau.edu.
Adding upgraded keys
Removing old keys

But removing old keys makes it sound scary.

Hmmm, I don't know. In general nothing looks particularly scary, but through most of the process it seems to be creating new ldap objects, which sounds pretty strange. I can send you the logs if you think it might help.

The process you describe is the same that we followed. Broke the array, upgraded the primary, then the secondary, then joined the secondary to the primary again. Strangely the secondary seemed to have more settings saved than our primary. For example, we were using the firewall transversal mode, and thus our security port was set to 443. Post upgrade, after rebuilding the array again, the secondary still had that set, while the primary server has lost it all.

Is there any hope of being able to recover the old objects, or should I start adding that information back in again?

Thanks,
Christian McHugh
