Upgrade CloudStack from 4.9.2.0 to 4.11.0

Hello,

My current infrastructure is Apache Cloudstack 4.9.2 with VMware hosts and
the management server on CentOS.


I'm planning to perform an upgrade from the actual 4.9.2 versión to the
latest one.

I found this tutorial from Cloudstack website:

http://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/projects/cloudstack-release-notes/en/4.11.0.0/upgrade/upgrade-4.9.html

But i don't know if any of you already did it, and had upgraded the system?
I was wondering if anyone had any issues during the execution of the
process.

And also if someone can send more info, or another guide to follow or best
practice?

We've check it out and found that we need to compile our own cloudstack
software because we're using vmware hosts, is it true? any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards.

Hi Dag,

Stephan and I posted the issues we encountered after upgrading to 4.11
on https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/issues.

Those are:

Admin Dashboard System Capacity broken with German Locale #2539
problem adding new shared network NIC to VM "A NIC with this MAC address
exits for network:" #2540
Add "Lets Encrypt CA" Certpath to SSVM Keystore (for cdimage.debian.org)
#2541
CloudStack-Usage Broken after Upgrade from 4.9 to 4.11 #2542
Web-UI creates all isolated Nets with IP range 10.1.1.0/24 #2533
Textbox "Account and projectId can't be specified together" #2543
Password Reset does not work with Isolated Networks with redundant
routers #2544

Still we are very happy with our shiny new 4.11 setup!

Thanks a lot for this great piece of software!

Greetings,

Re: Upgrade CloudStack from 4.9.2.0 to 4.11.0

Posted by Stephan Seitz <s....@heinlein-support.de>.
Hi!

We're currently using XenServer instead of VMware, so I just don't know
if you really need to build your own packages. Afaik shapeblue's public
repository has been built with noredist.

Here's short list (sorry, we didn't report everything to the bugtracker
by now) of caveats:

* There's a more precise dashboard (XX.XX% instead of XX%)
-> Nice, but only works with locale set to EN or C or anything with
decimalpoints instead of commas :) ... consequently the default
language of the GUI will also be selected identical to your locale.

-> Ldap Authentication doesn't work. You need to apply https://github.c
om/apache/cloudstack/pull/2517 to get this working.

-> Adding a NIC to a running VM (only tested in Advanced Zone,
Xenserver, Shared Network to add) fails with an "duplicate MAC-address" 
error. See my post on the ML yesterday.

-> cloudstack-usage doesn't start since (at least Ubuntu, deb packages)
the update doesn't clean old libs from /usr/share/cloudstack-
usage/libs. For us cleanup and reinstall fixed that.

-> SSVM's java keystore doesn't contain Let's Encrypt Root-CA (maybe
others are also missing) so don't expect working downloads from
cdimage.debian.org via https :)

-> A few nasty popups occur (but can be ignored) in the GUI e.g.
selecting a project and viewing networks.

-> A minor documentation bug in the upgrade document: The apt-get.eu
Repository doesn't contain 4.11 right now. download.cloudstack.org
does.


To us none of that problems was a stopper, but your mileage may vary.

cheers,

- Stephan
