I am not seeing a large amount of blog entries complaining about this upgrade, how has that gone for you? Is there anything you found particularly painful? Would you have done anything different in retrospect?
I'm staring down a 3.7.2 -> 4.2.1 upgrade and after reading a number of docs the back-of-the-envelope optimal upgrade path is as follows. If any of you have commentary I am quite interested, otherwise I will try it and see what happens. I feel like this might be more time-consuming work but less brainpower effort than just yanking everything to 4.2. 1) rpms up to puppet 3.8 PostgreSQL 8.4 to 9.4 PuppetDB 2.2.2 to 2.3.7 (puppetdb-terminus from 2.2.2 to 2.3.7) Puppet 3.7.2 to 3.8.2 2) enable the future parser 3) replace puppet 3.8.2, passenger 5 with puppetserver 1.1.1 4) replace puppetserver 1.1.1 with puppetserver 2.1.1 5) upgrade PuppetDB from 2.3.7 to 3.0.2 6) use the puppetlabs-puppet_agent forge module to upgrade agents to 4.2.1 My reading: https://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/latest/reference/ https://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/4.2/reference/upgrade_major_pre.html https://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/4.2/reference/upgrade_major_server.html https://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/4.2/reference/upgrade_major_agent.html https://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/4.2/reference/upgrade_major_post.html https://forge.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs/puppet_agent https://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppetdb/2.3/upgrade.html http://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppetdb/3.0/upgrade.html http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/static/upgrading.html (Although I may dump/restore the data via puppetdb since that's the actual api to the data, we do not log in via PostgreSQL.) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
