Restrictions and Known Problems

• Upgrading the management node (MN) and the service node (SN) to xCAT 2.6.12 from xCAT 2.6.11 and below will need some extra work. This is because one dependency rpm is replaced with a new one: conserver is replaced by conserver-xcat. You need to follow the following instructions to do the upgrade:
• Remove conserver from both MN and SN using rpm -e --nodeps conserver command.
• Locate any customized otherpks.pkglist files under /install/custom/... directory. Replace conserver with conserver-xcat.
• To upgrade MN, run yum/zypper update 'xCAT'
• To upgrade SN, untar the latest xcat-core and xcat-dep tarballs into /install/post/otherpkgs/<os>/<arch>/xcat and then run updatenode service -P otherpkgs
