To module leads,
I need your help doing some basic, one-time upgrade testing (though you're welcome to do more!). Since each module is responsible for its part of upgrade, you're the person who knows what to test. Without this, bugs in your area may not be found until it's too late to fix them. This shouldn't take much of your time, possibly half an hour (unless you don't have some way already to test your area), and it would be best if you could do this before next Monday evening, before the next promotion. We're running out of time to get a usable promotion for testing.
Here are the steps:
1. (5-10 minutes) Download and install v2.1.1, developer profile, from
https://glassfish.dev.java.net/downloads/v2.1.1-final.html
1a. The installer (the "java -jar ...." step) can take a while to run: ~4 minutes on my Mac before it starts unzipping the files.
1b. Before running the "ant -f setup*" step, zip up your glassfish dir. This will save you some time later.
2. Start up the server and do *something* related to your area: deploy an app, create resources, change settings, whatever. You're the expert in your area.
3. Stop the server.
3a. If you did anything in step 2 that involved a database, keep that same database running.
4. (1-2 minutes) Upgrade your v2.1.1 domain to your 3.1 build. For your copy/paste ease (edit of course for Windows), do the following:
4a. cd <path>/glassfish3/glassfish/bin
4b. rm -rf ../domains/domain1
4c. cp -R <path to v2>/glassfish/domains/domain1 ../domains/
4d. rm -rf ../domains/domain1/logs/* (not necessary, but will make it easier to read the log)
4e. ./asadmin start-domain --upgrade
4.f Watch the output of the upgrade step for any warning/severe level messages. There will be at least 3. If you don't see them, you're not paying attention.
5. Start up the 3.1 server. To really make sure you see all the output, "./asadmin start-domain --upgrade"
6. Now test whatever you did in step 2 to see if it's still working in the 3.1 server. Again, it's your discretion, but you're better off finding the bugs now.
7. If there were issues, file them and add the "3.1-upgrade" keyword. Also please add me (bbissett) to the cc list. Current issues:
https://glassfish.dev.java.net/issues/buglist.cgi?keywords=3.1-upgrade
If everything worked, send me or the dev list a short email and just tell me what you tested.
8. Repeat the procedure with a cluster. Now that you've already done this once, it should take ~10 minutes to do it again. The steps are all here, and you've done 2/3 of them already. Just replace steps 3 and 7 in the wiki with whatever you already did:
http://wikis.sun.com/display/GlassFish/V3.1ClusterUpgradeExample
Currently there is no automated test for a cluster upgrade, but I'm working on that now. If you want to add what you've done to the dev profile upgrade test, you'll find it in the admin cli tests. Obviously it's a good idea to add a dev test if you can -- otherwise someone else might break what you just tested and you'll end up getting the bug first. More info:
