FYI
We have updated versions of all HA-Lizard apps (including installer) working with XenServer7. We are holding off a beta release while we investigate what appears to be a bug in XenServer 7. More updates to follow.

you can download the latest beta installer here:
halizard.org/release/noSAN-combined/hali...installer_2.0.1.beta

it will completely install all packages. You should start with a clean install of xenserver.

halizard.org/release/ha-lizard/ha-lizard-1.8.9.tgz

you may want to backup your current configs:
ha-cfg backup
cp /etc/ha-lizard/ha-lizard.conf /path/to/some/dir
cp /etc/iscsi-ha/iscsi-ha.conf /path/to/some/dir

Upgrade steps:
cd /tmp/

tar -zxvf ha-lizard-1.8.9.tgz
tar -zxvf iscsi-ha-1.5.7.tgz
/tmp/ha-lizard-1.8.9/scripts/install

Hi,

I need to update our ha-lizard and iscsi-ha packages on our XenServer 6.5 2-node pool.

I can see the instructions above, which is fine - are there any other steps? E.g. Should I do this on the Pool Master first? Should I put the server in manual mode?

Basically, I am happy with the install instructions above, I just need to know what order I do this on the actual XenServer hosts and if any other steps are needed.

Many thanks for your help,

Adam

The only extra step would be to disable HA before getting started. This can be done on either of the hosts.

"ha-cfg status"

you will be prompted to disable HA.
Once done, wait the amount of time (usually 30 seconds) displayed in the output so that the change can propagate to other members of the pool.

Thanks for this - sorry for late reply!

Can I just confirm, do i run the updates on the pool master first, wait for 30 seconds and then run the updates on the slave too?

You can upgrade the hosts in any order.

The 30 second wait time is only required after disabling HA (it takes that long for the change to propagate to all pool members)
