Doc Text:
A new upgrade utility is provided to use the python modules from the newer media. This is to prevent work-flow upgrade issues where problems are solved in a newer version. These issues were overcome by booting install media in previous versions.

MISSION

Providing component independent node upgrade command-line interface.

REASON

Node base should provide life cycle management:
 - install - provided.
 - reinstall - provided.
 - upgrade via boot - provided.
 - upgrade via command-line - provided indirectly as an API.

Node upgrade is not related to any hosted components, for example VDSM.

Node infrastructure is the one that knows the filesystem structure, where to put large images, what is the image format etc... No reason to expose these to hosted components.

USAGE

 ovirt-node-upgrade [--reboot[=NN]] [-f|--image image|-]
     --reboot
         perform reboot after installation, defer to NN seconds,
         default=10.
     -f, --image
         read node image from this file, '-' is stdin.

HOOKS

In order to allow hosted components to take action during upgrade, hooks mechanism is suggested.

A directory for each state, each directory contains files/symlinks, which will be executed alphabetical sorted.

 /usr/libexec/ovirt-node/hooks/
     pre-upgrade
         000-vdsm
     post-upgrade
     rollback
         900-vdsm

At the above example, VDSM will be stopped before upgrade, and started if rollbacked.

LOGIC

At least:

1. If image is read from stdin, read image and store it on the filesystem within temporary location.

2. Verify image integrity, using md5sum of the iso.

3. Execute pre-upgrade hooks.

4. Mount^^3 the image, execute image upgrade.

5. Delete the image from temporary location if read from stdin.

6. Execute post-upgrade or rollback hooks.

7. Optionally async reboot.

SIMPLE TEST CASE

$ cat ovirt-node.iso | ssh root@node "ovirt-node-upgrade --reboot -f -"


--- Additional comment from Alon Bar-Lev on 2012-09-19 05:29:43 EDT ---

I forgot two more hooks I would like to have...

On the image it-self, pre-image-upgrade, post-image-upgrade, so that the new component on the image can execute some logic during upgrade.
