  • We could have 3-4 short talks + a discussion of 15-20 mins.

  • What is the expected outcome of the meeting ?

  • Who is the primary audience ?

    • a working meeting / discussion for the sys ops sig ?

    • presentation to external people ? Other sys admin, who are not in sys ops sig

  • Or one person could hold a longer talk, leaving time for a discussion + one shorter talk

  • What was the original proposal for the session ?

  • Let's focus on the pain points; how we overcame them or how we have not overcome them.

  • Jason & Jeremy talk; Ingolf thinks (about a presentation)

 

Lotus Installation and Testing Experiences

Those who have implemented it, already

  • Ingolf has problems with upgrading from Kiwi to Lotus with Okapi deployment on a single server

    • Ingolf: install endpoint of Okapi fails several times, also failed in previous flower release upgrades

    • (Jason) Don't upgrade with loadReference=true, always use loadReference=false there

    • update on a test server first, not with real data

    • Jason: I create a new tenant (on an existing cluster) to test the deployment of a new flower release

    • reference data needed in addition by the new (or modified) modules should be loaded after the fact

  • Florian G.: Might need to change timeouts of nginx

  • Nils: 40 GB RAM could be a problem

  • ---------------------------------------------------------

  • Florian Kreft has given a presentation of the deployment methods, Florian K. and Florian G. developed at LRZ Munich, in the German group and would like to present this to the international group. 

    • Based largely on the work of Jason Root at TAMU

  • Florian 25th July

  • Ingolf on holiday: 29th July - 8. August

  • August 12th : Florian Kreft will give a presentation in Sys Ops SIG .
