Please note all of these VM's are for testing purposes only. And are not considered "Production Level" prior to testing upgrades. :-) The following has been tested as Virtual Machines: Centos 6.3 Zimbra Server (Fully Configured), up to date -> CetOS 6.4(sic) Zimbra Server CentOS 6.3 FreeIPA Server (Fully Configured), stock -> CentOS 6.4 FreeIPA Server CentOS 6.3 FreeIPA Client (Fully Configured), stock -> CentOS 6.4 FreeIPA Client CentOS 6.3 HTTP Server Stock -> CentOS 6.4 HTTP Server Stock Commands used for all upgrades: yum clean all yum install centos-release-cr yum upgrade glibc* rpm* yum* yum upgrade init 6 Virtual Machine Specs: ---------------------- Oracle VirtualBox 4.2.6 ---------------------- CentOS Zimbra Server ---------------------- Cores: 2 RAM: 2048MB NIC: Emulated Intel PRO/1000MT Server NIC: Bridged to host bond0 Options: AMD-V Enabled Updated PKGs: 169 ---------------------- CentOS FreeIPA Server ---------------------- Cores: 3 RAM: 2048MB NIC: PCnet-FAST III NIC: Bridged to host bond0 Options: AMD-V Enabled Updated PKGs: 258 ---------------------- CentOS FreeIPA Client ---------------------- Cores: 2 RAM: 1024MB NIC: PCnet-FAST III NIC: Bridged to host bond0 Options: AMD-V Enabled Updated PKGs: 358 ---------------------- CentOS HTTP Server ---------------------- Cores: 8 Cores RAM: 2048MB NIC: Emulated Intel PRO/1000MT Server NIC: Bridged to host bond0 Options: AMD-V Enabled, LsiLogic SAS 2 HDD's using Soft Raid (in guest), LUKS Encrypted HDD's Updated PKGs: 255 Tools Used: Black Coffee, lots and lots of black coffee! SSH (Command) Screen (Command) top (Command) Shorewall (IPTables Management) Xorg (On Host) BackTrack Linux (Seperate VM) Basic Test Results: CentOS Zimbra Server: SUCCESSFUL CentOS FreeIPA Server: SUCCESSFUL CentOS FreeIPA Client: SUCCESSFUL+ CentOS HTTP Server: SUCCESSFUL Detailed Test Results: ---------------------- CentOS Zimbra Server ---------------------- This VM was successfully upgrade without any issues. After rebooting it rebooted to CentOS 6.4 (Though listed it's self as 6.3 still) and was running the CR kernel. After the reboot I installed and configured Shorewall on the VM to ensure IPTables functionality and management, Shorewall successfully configured IPTables with needed ports, using tools from BackTrack I was able to verify this. Also did some "stability" testing with Backtrack against the VM and all seemed within normal range :-). To my surprise Zimbra didn't die however, I was expecting the upgrade to have some form of negative effect on it. But it seemed to function correctly without issue. I was able to browse emails on the server, send them and do various admin management tasks. :-) As such I consider the upgrade "Successful". ---------------------- CentOS FreeIPA Server ---------------------- The server appeared to function correctly after a reboot, I ran several IPA commands to ensure user database was intact and also to ensure hosts DB was intact. Again server appeared to be running fine, I checked logs and only found errors moaning about PPM being too high for NTPD. Further investigation into logs indicated NTP was able to sync time successfully anyway. This could be due to the Hypervisor's clock. But aside from that, it appeared to function correctly :-). So marking as "Successful". ---------------------- CentOS FreeIPA Client ---------------------- After upgrade, everything seemed to work fine, even changing passwords of FreeIPA users which I was quite pleased about (this was a bug in 6.3 due to NAT in VirtualBox used during bridging) So FreeIPA client was actually working better than it was before upgrade. So that gets a big plus from me :-D. One thing I did notice is at login it now shows "Your password will expire in 90 days". So the communication between client and server is definetly all there. It successfully got to Desktop (XFCE, Gnome is not actually installed due to previous testing) Various other stock CentOS apps appear to be working such as firefox, gimp etc. So marking this as "Successful+" :-) ---------------------- CentOS HTTP Server ---------------------- With this one I mainly wanted to ensure RAID and LUKS didn't get busted during upgrade (Important things to me). Again, upgrade successful, booted fine after applying updates. I played with mdadm a little, marked a virtual drive as failed, removed from array, added it back, make sure it got added correctly and synced etc basic stuff really. After all that rebooted the VM and luks remained intact, and it booted just fine :-). So I'd say the upgrade was a success :-) ---- Anyhows, hope these results help you guys :-). -- Jake Shipton (JakeMS) GPG Key: 0xE3C31D8F GPG Fingerprint: 7515 CC63 19BD 06F9 400A DE8A 1D0B A5CF E3C3 1D8F -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
