Include upgrade discussion section #366

Closed koomie closed 7 years ago

koomie commented 7 years ago

Perhaps as an additional appendix in existing docs, or separate file that can be referenced in future release announcements, let's add some discussion on typical upgrade paths. Starting example to follow for yum:

  1. upgrade master node yum upgrade "*-ohpc"

  2. upgrade packages in compute image yum --installroot=$CHROOT upgrade "*-ohpc"

  3. rebbuild vnfs image wwvnfs -y --chroot $CHROOT

It is probably also worth a tooltip (or equivalent) to mention how to expire package manager metadata when folks are anxious to upgrade immediately after a release:

yum:

yum clean expire-cache
yum --installroot=$CHROOT clean expire-cache

zypper: zypper clean -a
