3.0 Release Notes

1. Display a list of all subscriptions that are available for your system and determine the pool ID of a subscription that provides Red Hat Software Collections. To do so, type the following at a shell prompt as root:

   subscription-manager list --available

   For each available subscription, this command displays its name, unique identifier, expiration date, and other details related to it. The pool ID is listed on a line beginning with Pool Id.
2. Attach the appropriate subscription to your system by running the following command as root:

   subscription-manager attach --pool=pool_id

   Replace pool_id with the pool ID you determined in the previous step. To verify the list of subscriptions your system has currently attached, type as root:

   subscription-manager list --consumed

3. Display the list of available Yum list repositories to retrieve repository metadata and determine the exact name of the Red Hat Software Collections repositories. As root, type:

   subscription-manager repos --list

   Or alternatively, run yum repolist all for a brief list.
   The repository names depend on the specific version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux you are using and are in the following format:

   rhel-variant-rhscl-6-rpms
   rhel-variant-rhscl-6-debug-rpms
   rhel-variant-rhscl-6-source-rpms
   
   rhel-server-rhscl-6-eus-rpms
   rhel-server-rhscl-6-eus-source-rpms
   rhel-server-rhscl-6-eus-debug-rpms
   
   rhel-variant-rhscl-7-rpms
   rhel-variant-rhscl-7-debug-rpms
   rhel-variant-rhscl-7-source-rpms
   
   rhel-server-rhscl-7-eus-rpms
   rhel-server-rhscl-7-eus-source-rpms
   rhel-server-rhscl-7-eus-debug-rpms

   Replace variant with the Red Hat Enterprise Linux system variant, that is, server or workstation. Note that Red Hat Software Collections is supported neither on the Client nor on the ComputeNode variant.
4. Enable the appropriate repository by running the following command as root:

   subscription-manager repos --enable repository

1. Display a list of all channels that are available to you and determine the exact name of the Red Hat Software Collections channel. To do so, type the following at a shell prompt as root:

   rhn-channel --available-channels

   The name of the channel depends on the specific version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux you are using and is in the following format, where variant is the Red Hat Enterprise Linux system variant (server or workstation):

   rhel-x86_64-variant-6-rhscl-1
   
   rhel-x86_64-server-6.5.z-rhscl-1
   rhel-x86_64-server-6.6.z-rhscl-1
   
   rhel-x86_64-variant-7-rhscl-1
   
   rhel-x86_64-server-7.1.eus-rhscl-1

   Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 channels are accessible only through Red Hat Satellite instances.

   Note

   Red Hat Software Collections 2.x are distributed in the same channels as Red Hat Software Collections 1.x.
2. Subscribe the system to the Red Hat Software Collections channel by running the following command as root:

   rhn-channel --add --channel=channel_name

   Replace channel_name with the name you determined in the previous step.
3. Verify the list of channels you are subscribed to. As root, type:

   rhn-channel --list

1. Stop the rh-mariadb101 database server if it is still running.
   Before stopping the server, set the innodb_fast_shutdown option to 0, so that InnoDB performs a slow shutdown, including a full purge and insert buffer merge. Read more about this option in the upstream documentation. This operation can take a longer time than in case of a normal shutdown.

   mysql -uroot -p -e "SET GLOBAL innodb_fast_shutdown = 0"

   Stop the rh-mariadb101 server.

   service rh-mariadb101-mariadb stop

2. Install the rh-mariadb102 Software Collection.

   yum install rh-mariadb102-mariadb-server

   Note that it is possible to install the rh-mariadb102 Software Collection while the rh-mariadb101 Software Collection is still installed because these Collections do not conflict.
3. Inspect configuration of rh-mariadb102, which is stored in the /etc/opt/rh/rh-mariadb102/my.cnf file and the /etc/opt/rh/rh-mariadb102/my.cnf.d/ directory. Compare it with configuration of rh-mariadb101 stored in /etc/opt/rh/rh-mariadb101/my.cnf and /etc/opt/rh/rh-mariadb101/my.cnf.d/ and adjust it if necessary.
4. All data of the rh-mariadb101 Software Collection is stored in the /var/opt/rh/rh-mariadb101/lib/mysql/ directory unless configured differently. Copy the whole content of this directory to /var/opt/rh/rh-mariadb102/lib/mysql/. You can move the content but remember to back up your data before you continue to upgrade. Make sure the data are owned by the mysql user and SELinux context is correct.
5. Start the rh-mariadb102 database server.

   service rh-mariadb102-mariadb start

6. Perform the data migration.

   scl enable rh-mariadb102 mysql_upgrade

   If the root user has a non-empty password defined (it should have a password defined), it is necessary to call the mysql_upgrade utility with the -p option and specify the password.

   scl enable rh-mariadb102 -- mysql_upgrade -p

1. Install the MongoDB servers and shells from the rh-mongodb34 Software Collections:

   ~]# yum install rh-mongodb34

2. Stop the MongoDB 3.2 server:

   ~]# systemctl stop rh-mongodb32-mongod.service

   Use the service rh-mongodb32-mongodb stop command on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 system.
3. Copy your data to the new location:

   ~]# cp -a /var/opt/rh/rh-mongodb32/lib/mongodb/* /var/opt/rh/rh-mongodb34/lib/mongodb/

4. Configure the rh-mongodb34-mongod daemon in the /etc/opt/rh/rh-mongodb34/mongod.conf file.
5. Start the MongoDB 3.4 server:

   ~]# systemctl start rh-mongodb34-mongod.service

   On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, use the service rh-mongodb34-mongodb start command instead.
6. Enable backwards-incompatible features:

   ~]$ scl enable rh-mongodb34 'mongo --host localhost --port 27017 admin' --eval 'db.adminCommand( { setFeatureCompatibilityVersion: "3.4" } )'

   If the mongod server is configured with enabled access control, add the --username and --password options to mongo command.
   Note that it is recommended to run the deployment after the upgrade without enabling these features first.

1. Install the rh-mysql57 Software Collection.

   yum install rh-mysql57-mysql-server

2. Inspect the configuration of rh-mysql57, which is stored in the /etc/opt/rh/rh-mysql57/my.cnf file and the /etc/opt/rh/rh-mysql57/my.cnf.d/ directory. Compare it with the configuration of rh-mysql56 stored in /etc/opt/rh/rh-mysql56/my.cnf and /etc/opt/rh/rh-mysql56/my.cnf.d/ and adjust it if necessary.
3. Stop the rh-mysql56 database server, if it is still running.

   service rh-mysql56-mysqld stop

4. All data of the rh-mysql56 Software Collection is stored in the /var/opt/rh/rh-mysql56/lib/mysql/ directory. Copy the whole content of this directory to /var/opt/rh/rh-mysql57/lib/mysql/. You can also move the content but remember to back up your data before you continue to upgrade.
5. Start the rh-mysql57 database server.

   service rh-mysql57-mysqld start

6. Perform the data migration.

   scl enable rh-mysql57 mysql_upgrade

   If the root user has a non-empty password defined (it should have a password defined), it is necessary to call the mysql_upgrade utility with the -p option and specify the password.

   scl enable rh-mysql57 -- mysql_upgrade -p

Procedure 5.1. Fast Upgrade Using the pg_upgrade Tool

1. Stop the old PostgreSQL server to ensure that the data is not in an inconsistent state. To do so, type the following at a shell prompt as root:

   service postgresql stop

   To verify that the server is not running, type:

   service postgresql status

2. Verify that the old directory /var/lib/pgsql/data/ exists:

   file /var/lib/pgsql/data/

   and back up your data.
3. Verify that the new data directory /var/opt/rh/rh-postgresql96/lib/pgsql/data/ does not exist:

   file /var/opt/rh/rh-postgresql96/lib/pgsql/data/

   If you are running a fresh installation of PostgreSQL 9.6, this directory should not be present in your system. If it is, back it up by running the following command as root:

   mv /var/opt/rh/rh-postgresql96/lib/pgsql/data{,-scl-backup}

4. Upgrade the database data for the new server by running the following command as root:

   scl enable rh-postgresql96 -- postgresql-setup --upgrade

   Alternatively, you can use the /opt/rh/rh-postgresql96/root/usr/bin/postgresql-setup --upgrade command.
   Note that you can use the --upgrade-from option for upgrade from different versions of PostgreSQL. The list of possible upgrade scenarios is available using the --upgrade-ids option.
   It is recommended that you read the resulting /var/lib/pgsql/upgrade_rh-postgresql96-postgresql.log log file to find out if any problems occurred during the upgrade.
5. Start the new server as root:

   service rh-postgresql96-postgresql start

   It is also advised that you run the analyze_new_cluster.sh script as follows:

   su - postgres -c 'scl enable rh-postgresql96 ~/analyze_new_cluster.sh'

6. Optionally, you can configure the PostgreSQL 9.6 server to start automatically at boot time. To disable the old system PostgreSQL server, type the following command as root:

   chkconfig postgresql off

   To enable the PostgreSQL 9.6 server, type as root:

   chkconfig rh-postgresql96-postgresql on

7. If your configuration differs from the default one, make sure to update configuration files, especially the /var/opt/rh/rh-postgresql96/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf configuration file. Otherwise only the postgres user will be allowed to access the database.

Procedure 5.2. Performing a Dump and Restore Upgrade

1. Ensure that the old PostgreSQL server is running by typing the following at a shell prompt as root:

   su - postgres -c 'pg_dumpall > ~/pgdump_file.sql'

3. Stop the old server by running the following command as root:

   service postgresql stop

4. Initialize the data directory for the new server as root:

   scl enable rh-postgresql96-postgresql -- postgresql-setup --initdb

5. Start the new server as root:

   service rh-postgresql96-postgresql start

6. Import data from the previously created SQL file:

   su - postgres -c 'scl enable rh-postgresql96 "psql -f ~/pgdump_file.sql postgres"'

7. Optionally, you can configure the PostgreSQL 9.6 server to start automatically at boot time. To disable the old system PostgreSQL server, type the following command as root:

   chkconfig postgresql off

   To enable the PostgreSQL 9.6 server, type as root:

   chkconfig rh-postgresql96-postgresql on

8. If your configuration differs from the default one, make sure to update configuration files, especially the /var/opt/rh/rh-postgresql96/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf configuration file. Otherwise only the postgres user will be allowed to access the database.
