Should we remove nim_viosupgrade.py? #17

Closed dberg1 closed 4 years ago

dberg1 commented 4 years ago

This was implemented using viosupgrade script before nim_upgradeios was added. Is it still relevant?

robinvy commented 4 years ago

nim_viosupgrade uses the /usr/sbin/viosupgrade command running on a VIOS itself (some TODOs remain in the module + tests).

nim_upgradeios uses the NIM actions to upgrade each target VIOS from the NIM master (still some TODOs remain in the module) It allows to create/view/restore a backup of the VIOS configuration and to upgrade and restore a VIOS.

We should keep both modules. Later (2021) nim_viosupgrade should be updated and modified to run locally on the VIOS or remotely through the NIM master.
