Chris, So we should upgrade to RHEL 6.5 first? I was going to use the RHEL 6.6 image we have on the xcat servers. How did you install and update the Mellanox Drivers using xCAT?
When I did and xcat update node after setting the server to use the RHEL 6.6 image I get the following errors. uxpbddadr209: --> Finished Dependency Resolution uxpbddadr209: Error: Package: libmlx5-devel-1.0.0-OFED.2.1.192.g1cedc9a.x86_64 (installed) uxpbddadr209: Requires: libmlx5 = 1.0.0-OFED.2.1.192.g1cedc9a uxpbddadr209: Removing: libmlx5-1.0.0-OFED.2.1.192.g1cedc9a.x86_64 (installed) uxpbddadr209: libmlx5 = 1.0.0-OFED.2.1.192.g1cedc9a uxpbddadr209: Updated By: libmlx5-1.0.1-1.el6.x86_64 (xCAT-rhels6.6-path0) uxpbddadr209: libmlx5 = 1.0.1-1.el6 uxpbddadr209: Error: Package: libibumad-static-1.3.8.MLNX20130522.da65ddf-0.1.x86_64 (installed) uxpbddadr209: Requires: libibumad = 1.3.8.MLNX20130522.da65ddf-0.1 uxpbddadr209: Removing: libibumad-1.3.8.MLNX20130522.da65ddf-0.1.x86_64 (installed) uxpbddadr209: libibumad = 1.3.8.MLNX20130522.da65ddf-0.1 uxpbddadr209: Updated By: libibumad-1.3.9-1.el6.x86_64 (xCAT-rhels6.6-path0) uxpbddadr209: libibumad = 1.3.9-1.el6 uxpbddadr209: Available: libibumad-1.3.8-1.el6.i686 (xCAT-rhels6.4-path0) uxpbddadr209: libibumad = 1.3.8-1.el6 uxpbddadr209: Error: Package: libnes-devel-static-1.1.3mlnx1-OFED.2.0.2.6.3.1.gae2c5c5.x86_64 (installed) uxpbddadr209: Requires: libnes = 1.1.3mlnx1-OFED.2.0.2.6.3.1.gae2c5c5 uxpbddadr209: Removing: libnes-1.1.3mlnx1-OFED.2.0.2.6.3.1.gae2c5c5.x86_64 (installed) uxpbddadr209: libnes = 1.1.3mlnx1-OFED.2.0.2.6.3.1.gae2c5c5 uxpbddadr209: Updated By: libnes-1.1.4-1.el6.x86_64 (xCAT-rhels6.6-path0) uxpbddadr209: libnes = 1.1.4-1.el6 uxpbddadr209: Available: libnes-1.1.3-1.el6.x86_64 (xCAT-rhels6.4-path0) uxpbddadr209: libnes = 1.1.3-1.el6 uxpbddadr209: Error: Package: mpitests_mvapich2__1_9-3.2.6-e958579.x86_64 (installed) uxpbddadr209: Requires: libmpich.so.10()(64bit) uxpbddadr209: Removing: mvapich2-1.9-1.x86_64 (installed) uxpbddadr209: libmpich.so.10()(64bit) uxpbddadr209: Updated By: mvapich2-2.0rc1-1.el6.x86_64 (xCAT-rhels6.6-path0) uxpbddadr209: Not found uxpbddadr209: Error: Package: libmlx4-devel-1.0.4mlnx2-OFED.2.1.204.gfd8b1fd.x86_64 (installed) uxpbddadr209: Requires: libmlx4 = 1.0.4mlnx2-OFED.2.1.204.gfd8b1fd uxpbddadr209: Removing: libmlx4-1.0.4mlnx2-OFED.2.1.204.gfd8b1fd.x86_64 (installed) uxpbddadr209: libmlx4 = 1.0.4mlnx2-OFED.2.1.204.gfd8b1fd uxpbddadr209: Updated By: libmlx4-1.0.6-6.el6.x86_64 (xCAT-rhels6.6-path0) uxpbddadr209: libmlx4 = 1.0.6-6.el6 uxpbddadr209: Available: libmlx4-1.0.4-1.el6.i686 (xCAT-rhels6.4-path0) uxpbddadr209: libmlx4 = 1.0.4-1.el6 uxpbddadr209: Error: Package: libibmad-static-1.3.9.MLNX20130522.1e79ec6-0.1.x86_64 (installed) uxpbddadr209: Requires: libibmad = 1.3.9.MLNX20130522.1e79ec6-0.1 uxpbddadr209: Removing: libibmad-1.3.9.MLNX20130522.1e79ec6-0.1.x86_64 (installed) uxpbddadr209: libibmad = 1.3.9.MLNX20130522.1e79ec6-0.1 uxpbddadr209: Updated By: libibmad-1.3.11-1.el6.x86_64 (xCAT-rhels6.6-path0) uxpbddadr209: libibmad = 1.3.11-1.el6 uxpbddadr209: Available: libibmad-1.3.9-1.el6.i686 (xCAT-rhels6.4-path0) uxpbddadr209: libibmad = 1.3.9-1.el6 uxpbddadr209: Error: Package: libibmad-devel-1.3.9.MLNX20130522.1e79ec6-0.1.x86_64 (installed) uxpbddadr209: Requires: libibmad = 1.3.9.MLNX20130522.1e79ec6-0.1 uxpbddadr209: Removing: libibmad-1.3.9.MLNX20130522.1e79ec6-0.1.x86_64 (installed) uxpbddadr209: libibmad = 1.3.9.MLNX20130522.1e79ec6-0.1 uxpbddadr209: Updated By: libibmad-1.3.11-1.el6.x86_64 (xCAT-rhels6.6-path0) uxpbddadr209: libibmad = 1.3.11-1.el6 uxpbddadr209: Available: libibmad-1.3.9-1.el6.i686 (xCAT-rhels6.4-path0) uxpbddadr209: libibmad = 1.3.9-1.el6 Randy Goering Big Data Admin & Architect | Enterprise Applications | DST Systems Inc. p 816.843.7159 m 816.806.4350 e [email protected] w dstsystems.com -----Original Message----- From: Christopher Eckhoff [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, September 21, 2015 10:41 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [xcat-user] . Upgrade from RHEL 6.4 to 6.6. (Goering, Randy) Randy Upgrading versus Reinstalling comes down what need to be done on the nodes . If the nodes are just end points with all application installed at install time and there is no data local to a node the rinstall method is preferred as you get a node in a clean state. Upgrades is generally more preferred when the application stack is handles by 3rd party application and is not part of the xCAT install process or there is data on local node drive that need to be preserved as an install formats the hard disk and this data will be lost. With upgrades you would want to do a test on one node first in a manner that get to you end point in your example you would benefit from doing a RHELs 6.4 -> RHELs6.5 -> RHELs6.6 so that you do not end up with dependencies issues as packages do change from release to release.
