Description SATHEESARAN 2015-06-17 04:39:49 EDT

Description of problem:
-----------------------
While performing upgrade, the check is done whether distributed volume is UP.
If there are distributed volume running, then the upgrading glusterfs package fails.

But now, glusterfs-client-xlators package is getting installed, even when the distributed volume is up

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
-------------------------------------------------------------
glusterfs-3.7.1-3.el6rhs

How reproducible:
-----------------
Always/consistent

Steps to Reproduce:
-------------------
1. Create and start the distribute volume with RHGS 3.0.4 
2. Try to update gluster rpms to RHGS 3.1 ( glusterfs-3.7.1-3.el6rhs )

Actual results:
---------------
glusterfs-client-xlators package is getting installed, while other gluster rpms are abandoned to install

Expected results:
-----------------
gluster core packages should not get installed or upgraded when distributed volume is up

Comment 1 SATHEESARAN 2015-06-17 04:43:58 EDT

There was a similar bug with RHGS 3.0.4,where glusterfs-geo-replication and glusterfs-cli packages are getting updated, when distributed volume is up. This issue also had a customer case attached to it.
This issue is tracked in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1211839 and was resolved with the latest glusterfs build ( glusterfs-3.7.1-3.el6rhs )

Comment 2 SATHEESARAN 2015-06-17 11:27:48 EDT

As per Bala's email there are 3 packages that are getting affected - When performing in-service software update, when distributed volume is up and those are,
1. glusterfs-ganesha
2. glusterfs-client-xlators
3. python-gluster

Changing the bug summary accordingly

Comment 3 SATHEESARAN 2015-06-17 11:28:52 EDT

Adding the comment from Niels on that mail thread

<snip>

Now, all sub-packages of the glusterfs src.rpm will need the %pretrans
scripts. If a package does not have the script, it might get updated
while Gluster processes are running. This is not a problem, until the
processes get restarted and different versions of libraries are
expected. Likely no immediate errors, but hard to debug unexpected
behaviour could be the result.

Maybe the %pretrans is not needed for python-gluster, but it should be
required for the others. Any sub-package that has a versioned dependency
on any of the glusterfs packages needs the %pretrans script.

Patch is under review at https://code.engineering.redhat.com/gerrit/50967

Comment 7 SATHEESARAN 2015-06-19 07:00:49 EDT

Tested with glusterfs-3.7.1-4.el6rhs,

Tried to update glusterfs rpms ( from RHGS 3.0.4 to RHGS 3.1 ), with distributed volume as well as without stopping the brick process. On both this occasion, gluster core packages ( glusterfs-*, glusterfs-client-xlators, glusterfs-ganesha ) are not installed/updated.

Marking this bug as VERIFIED
