Title: Yum Upgrade Query
Post by: sits on February 28, 2007, 10:59:40 PM

Hi all, Just wondering if I missed something

Did a Yum Upgrade on 2 servers using the Software installer and now one  server now has
SME Server 7.1.1
Copyright 1999-2006 Mitel Corporation
All rights reserved.
Copyright 2006 SME Server, Inc

While the server I upgraded the following day has
SME Server 7.1
Copyright 1999-2006 Mitel Corporation
All rights reserved.
Copyright 2006 SME Server, Inc.

The server with SME Server 7.1.1 no longer allows the OpenVPN-Server-Bridge to work, while the other is fine with it.

Open a bug against that contrib in the bugtraker.  I have not used it but likely a template was overwritten by an upgraded package or something similar.

I have just updated 4 servers to 7.1.1, and opevnvpn bridge mode is working fine on all of them

Check kernel version. If it is the 2.6.9_42.10.EL, this is the problem. Switch back to the previous version of kernel (at server startup if you have keybord/screen, else by modifing grub.conf before rebooting) while the bug is solved.

Thanks for the replies, I will check which Kernel it is using, and let you know.

Do you mean this bug (http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2575)?

I ssh into the Server and did
uname -r
2.6.9-34.0.8.ELsmp
is what it reported back

this server is at a remote location, after checking the repositories I found that the sme-testing repository was selected also
I have now deselected it.( it seems this is selected on install of a new system) which this is.

would I also need to run
signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot, even though the reconfigure was done?

this system is running a Single AMD Athlon-64 Dual Core 4200 CPU

I have also noticed in the logs (messages) that DHCP is restarting often and reissuing new leases to the workstations.

Yes Cactus, I'm thinking on bug 2575 (http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2575).

Sits, I'm surprised that sme-testing is selected after install.

I've also updated my server to 7.1.1, and smeserver-openvpn-bridge-fws is still working (even if I have some others problems with the server-manager).

If DHCP is always restarting, you should:
- verify that the internal interface set in openvpn (via the panel-> advanced page) is eth0, I know some strange situations where openvpn think the internal interface is br0 (this occure when upgrding openvpn when the old version is still running, it's quite starnge because the new rpm should stop it before the installation)
- restart openvpn (from the panel or from the command line /etc/init.d/openvpn-bridge restart), and have a look at the log

Ok I finally got to the site, and verified that
Centos (2.6.9-42.0.8.ELsmp) was the Kernel being loaded
I did a reboot and selected Centos (2.6.9-42.0.8.EL)
I also uninstalled the Openvpn rpm's and reinstalled using Yum, but that has not changed anything

Dhcp has settled down, and the interface being used was eth0
any thing else to try/check?

Yes  it will but wanted to see if that would allow the Openvpn to work, unfortunately it didn't.

In that case update both to 7.1.2
