Archive and Version Services is upgraded to the OES 2 server using either physical media or patch channel.
On upgrading the OES 2 server to OES 2 server, Archive and Version Services is automatically upgraded. For more information, see Upgrading to OES 2 SP3
in the OES 2 SP3: Installation Guide.
Upgrade the Archive and Version Services using the patch channel, then perform the additional steps for successful upgradation.
At the command prompt, set the environment variable path.
UPGRADE=2
To launch YaST, execute the following command:
yast2 arkmanager
Specify the administrator and PostgreSQL database credentials.
Restart the Archive server
rcnovell-ark restart
On executing the above steps, Archive server runs with administrative rights and as an admin user.
On upgrading the Archive and Version Services from the OES 1 server to OES 2 SP1 Linux server, Archive server may fail to come up. The failure can be caused due to the following reasons:
The group id (gid) of both the novlxtier group (group in eDirectory tree) and the local user group (group on the local machine) are same.
Admin user is not listed as the part of the novlxtier group.
To resolve the group ids conflicts, perform the following steps, then restart the Archive server.
To verify the groups of the admin, enter
id admin
For example, the output of the command is
uid=600(admin) gid=600(admingroup) groups=600(admingroup) ,8(www) ,101(messagebus)
The novlxtier group is not listed.
The novlxtier gid must be 81. To verify if any object is using the same gid (81) of the novlxtier group, enter
getent group | grep 81
To change the gid of the novlxtier group to 81, enter
namgroupmod -a adminname -w password -g 81 -o cn=novlxtier,servercontext
On execution of the above command the gid of novlxtier group changes to 81.
For more information on the namgroupmod utility, see namgroupmod
in the OES 2 SP3: Novell Linux User Management Administration Guide.
Changing the gid for novlxtier group may cause ownership issues on the files. To resolve the file ownership issues, execute the nssid.sh script.
/opt/novell/oes-install/nssid.sh
For more information, see The OES 1 Solution: The nssid.sh Script
in the OES 2 SP3: Planning and Implementation Guide.
To ensure that the admin user is part of the novlxtier group, enter
id admin
For example, the output of the command is
uid=600(admin) gid=600(admingroup) groups=600(admingroup) ,8(www) ,81(novlxtier)
The admin is part of the novlxtier group.
To restart the Archive server, enter
rcnovell-ark restart
