Section 1.6.1, Rolling Upgrades Are Not Supported in a Clustered Environment
Section 1.6.2, Update Fails if You Do Not Reconfigure Filr before Updating
Section 1.6.3, Filr Configuration Wizard Can Take Over an Hour to Update
Section 1.6.4, Missing Files Due to an Accent Character Need to Be Re-Synchronized after Update
Rolling upgrades (updating one Filr or search index server while another continues to serve clients) are not supported when updating from Filr 1.0 to Filr 1.0.1 in a clustered environment.
You must shut down all Filr and search index appliances before you begin the update process, then re-start the appliances after the update is complete.
This issue does not affect small or non-clustered large installations.
For information about how to update Filr, see Updating Filr
in the Novell Filr 1.0.1 Installation and Configuration Guide.
You must reconfigure the Filr appliance before updating to a future version. If you do not reconfigure the appliance before updating, the update fails.
For information about how to reconfigure the Filr appliance, see Changing Configuration Options for the Filr Appliance
in the Novell Filr 1.0.1 Installation and Configuration Guide.
After going through the update process and clicking
in the Filr Configuration Wizard, the wizard takes longer to complete the update process than the expected 5 minutes. Depending on the size of your database, the update process can take over an hour to complete. For example, a 14 GB database might take 30 minutes to complete, and a 30 GB database might take an hour or more.If the database is 25 GB or larger, contact Novell Technical Support to assist you through the update process.
For information about how to update Filr, see Updating Filr
in the Novell Filr 1.0.1 Installation and Configuration Guide.
In the initial Filr release, Filr did not distinguish accent characters in file names. As a result, if one file was synchronized from the file system to a Net Folder, and then another file with the same name (except for the presence of an accent character) attempted to synchronize, the synchronization would fail.
Filr 1.0.1 contains a fix so that separate files or directories with names that are identical other than an accent character can be synchronized to Filr from the file system.
To enable these types of files to synchronize after updating to Filr 1.0.1, do one of the following:
Enable Just-in-Time synchronization (JITS) on the Filr site if it is not enabled already. Then navigate to the folder that contains the files in order to trigger JITS and update the contents of the folder. See Enabling Just-in-Time Synchronization
in the Novell Filr 1.0.1 Administration Guide.
Perform a full synchronization on the Net Folder that contains the files. See Synchronizing a Net Folder
in the Novell Filr 1.0.1 Administration Guide.
