I think this stems from the fact that when you upgrade an agent, the new agent gets the old agent's plugins. We don't want this. We should leave the plugins directory empty in the new agent and make it download the new plugins from the new server.
So in rhq-agent-update-build.xml, we need to remove these lines:
- <!-- if there are plugins, keep them -->
- <echo>Copy existing plugins from the old agent to the new agent</echo>
- <copy todir="${_update.tmp.dir}/rhq-agent/plugins">
- <fileset dir="${rhq.agent.update.update-agent-dir}/plugins"/>
- </copy>
Now, when the new agent starts, it can't start the PC until it downloads the new plugins from the new server.
pushed to master: a1ae22c verified. upgrade from 4.5.1 in 10.16.23.95 and 10.16.23.106 went well - storage node was discovered and auto-inventoried, no more exceptions in the log. Please get screenshots attached. Created attachment 764657 [details]

Created attachment 763933 [details] Agent log file Description of problem: Upgrade from pre-4.8 to 4.8 fails when the server is slow to startup. The agent gives up on waiting the server to become available and installs old plugins causing all sorts of issues. The problem does not get corrected when the server starts properly. How reproducible: Every time on environments where the server is slow to startup (eg. slower processor, disk, network). Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install a pre-4.8 RHQ environment 2. Upgrade to RHQ 4.8 3. Check to see the RHQ Storage Node is imported Actual results: The agent starts but with errors. Please see attached log file. The newly installed RHQ Storage Node is not discovered and inventoried by the agent. Expected results: The upgrade succeeds, the agent starts and the newly installed RHQ Storage Node is inventoried automatically. Additional info: This issue can be fixed by clearing all plugins from the agent during the upgrade process.
