Beyond Leap 15.6: will Rockstor use Leap 16, MicroOS, Slowroll

20

As I now did the migration on another machine, these are the commands I executed for the migration:

  • On Leap 15.6: update to the latest version, including the postgres migration & install the migration tool:
sudo zypper up --no-recommends
sudo zypper up rockstor
sudo zypper in opensuse-migration-tool
reboot
  • Run the migration tool opensuse-migration-tool and select:
    • openSUSE Leap 16.0
    • keep all repos selected (in order to get disabled after the update)
    • select 10_keepselinux (although we have to disable it afterwards, I still like to have it installed)
  • Reboot - :warning: this might take a very long time (SELinux will go through all the data)
  • Switch Rockstor repo to Leap 16.0:
sudo zypper removerepo Rockstor-Testing
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh http://updates.rockstor.com:8999/rockstor-testing/leap/16.0 Rockstor-Testing
  • Disable SELinux right away, and then reboot
sudo sed -i 's/^SELINUX=.*/SELINUX=permissive/' /etc/selinux/config
sudo cp /etc/default/grub /etc/default/grub.bak
sudo sed -i 's/enforcing=1/enforcing=0/g' /etc/default/grub
sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
sudo reboot

Warning: the reboot might take a long time

  • Check if SELinux is Permissive after rebooting
sudo getenforce
  • Install Rockstor
sudo zypper in rockstor
  • Start Rockstor
sudo systemctl enable --now rockstor-bootstrap.service
  • Finally, I did list old orphaned packages, remove them and cleaned the zypper cache:
sudo zypper pa --orphaned --unneeded
sudo zypper remove --clean-deps $(zypper packages --unneeded | awk -F'|' '/^i/ {print $3}' | tr -d ' ')
sudo zypper clean --all

Cheers Simon
