<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>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.<br>
</p>
<p>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.<br>

I think you can just enable with subscription-manager, but
it is disabled by default. RHOSP is an additional license.
But as it says “typically”, one might assume using the
community releases is also possible, <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p>Since IBM support told me months ago, that 5.1 will be based on
the train release, I added the repo
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://mirror.centos.org/centos/8/cloud/x86_64/openstack-train/">http://mirror.centos.org/centos/8/cloud/x86_64/openstack-train/</a> on
my test server and now the 5.1.0.1 object rpms installed
successfully. Question remains, if we should stay on the Train
packages or if we can / should use the newer packages from
Openstack Victoria.<br>
</p>
<p>But now I read the upgrade instructions at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/STXKQY_5.1.0/com.ibm.spectrum.scale.v5r10.doc/bl1ins_updateobj424.htm">https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/STXKQY_5.1.0/com.ibm.spectrum.scale.v5r10.doc/bl1ins_updateobj424.htm</a>
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.<br>
</p>
<p>And yes, here, hided in the upgrade instructions we can find the
information about the needed repos:<br>
</p>
<pre>Ensure that the following system repositories are enabled.
</pre>
<pre class="codeblock ibm-textcolor-default ibm-background-neutral-white-40"><code data-clipboard-id="codeblock2">openstack-16-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms
codeready-builder-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms</code></pre>
<p>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.<br>
