R82 - ElasticXL upgrade

Magnus-Holmberg — Sat, 15 Feb 2025 15:15:15 GMT

Hi,

Currently there are missing instructions on how to upgrade HFA on R82 running ElasticXL.
When can we expect the documentation to be updated as its diff from when running ClusterXL.

Regards

I am pretty sure that same process in clish worked for me when I had elasticxl lab while ago, but I could be mistaken.

Its very similar, (if i remember correct its not the same commands) but there should still be documentation about it 🙂

All, thanks for your feedback. We notified the relevant teams internally, we are fixing this.

Thanks, i think the biggest thing is that there is no CPUSE within Gaia portal, so that really need to be highlighted.

Agree with that, it definitely should be noted.

The relevant procedure was updated - it now applies to Maestro and to ElasticXL

Honestly based on that ElasticXL is planned to be the new ClusterXL.
I would write in the headline
https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/Jumbo_HFA/R82/R82.00/Installation-Uninstall.htm?tocpath=_____6

"Installation and Uninstall Instructions for Scalable Platforms"

To be changed to

"Installation and Uninstall Instructions for Scalable Platforms, ElasticXL"

Secondly it need to be updated in the smart console to not permit "central deployment from smartconsole" on elasticXL Clusters.
Because the feature itself says it works and it will upgrade the SMO within the ElasticXL Cluster, and it will say its successfull even that the rest of the members are not updated.
