Hi all, yesterday I just had the same thoughts as Andi. Monday morning, and very happy to see the long awaited 5.1.0.1 release on FixCentral.
And then: WTF! First there is no object in 5.1.0.0 at all, and then in 5.1.0.1 all dependencies are missing! And not one single sentence about this in release notes or Readme. Nothing! No explanation that they are missing, why they are missing and where to find the officials repo for them.

Question remains, if we should stay on the Train packages or if we can / should use the newer packages from Openstack Victoria. But now I read the upgrade instructions at https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/STXKQY_5.1.0/com.ibm.spectrum.scale.v5r10.doc/bl1ins_updateobj424.htm and all hope is gone. No rolling upgrade if your cluster is running object protocol. You have to upgrade to RHEL8 / CentOS8 first, for upgrading the Spectrum Scale object packages a downtime for the object service has to be scheduled. And yes, here, hided in the upgrade instructions we can find the information about the needed repos: Ensure that the following system repositories are enabled. |openstack-16-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms codeready-builder-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms| So, I'm very curious now, if I can manage to do a rolling upgrade of my test cluster from CentOS 7 to CentOS 8 and Spectrum Scale 5.0.5 to 5.1.0.1 core + NFS and then upgrading the object part while having all other services up and running. I will report here. Regards, Christian
