When using kdms, a manual rebuild action is required. When using kmod this should work more smoothly. Before the stopday: Test an update a CentOS hypervisor (wop61) === Matplotlib update === The Matplotlib update was postponed (not well tested). Was updated later (20-11-2018) === Stop virtualbox === Virtualbox should be stopped on alta2 before updates start === GPG keys === All GPG keys should be in place before updates start (Ubuntu) === Test spare LCU === Lcu-rt0 became lcu-rt6. Several adjustments needed (casacore,pyrap). Supervisor status was not updated in Zabbix. Note we were waiting for a new release. === Inform Apertif users === Use apertif_users@astron.nl for communication with users. Add RO admins too. === Supervisor on LCU's crashes === Supervisor starts too early, should wat for NFS. Fixed a few days later by Teun. === Update order === Reinoud: Wait with update of the ZFS replica servers before production is ready. Put proper order in procedure! === Jenkins slaves not tested === Arno: Our checklist went well. What was missing was: check if Jenkins slaves are up. (The home of Jenkins was moved) Alta: Ingest not configured properly. Test for apertif-> alta was not present. === Stopday duration === Arno: We expect 1 whole day for the sysadmin and the next morning for completion of the tests. === Spacealk update === Jasmin: Spacewalk host Wop76 needs to be updated before its hypervisor
