I've been considering the upgrade from Snow Leopard to Lion, but will probably wait just a little while longer. I have a (Sept 2010) MacBook Pro, it has been an excellent machine - I also have a 21" iMac and a standard MacBook all of which perform.
The issue that I have is that on the MacBook Pro I run Virtual Box and Solaris 11 among others, as does one of the guys that I work with. He has recently come across an interesting feature - which we have not been able to resolve so far.
Once he upgraded to Lion and when running the Solaris Virtual Machine, if he left the Macbook and it went into hibernate the following happened.
1 The MacBook got very hot.
2 If the power cube was plugged in it became too hot to touch.
3 When you eventually got onto the Virtual machine typing was near impossible due to repeating keys.
4 When you could have a look around - the 15 min Load Average on the Solaris Virtual M/C could be well up into the 2000's.
I'm guessing that this is actually a Virtual Box problem, just high lighted by Lion. We are going to go to Mountain Lion on his machine, to see if that resolves the problem.
I have been in touch with Oracle as the latest version of VBox was used as was a downloaded virtual machine from them. I'll keep people posted if there are any changes.
I do like the look of Mountain Lion, really getting towards what Sun's Project Looking Glass was all about - just you don't need an enterprise class server to run it!
I am thinking to purchase a new MacBook Air, 13 inch.
Anyone have a MacBook Air? What do you think about it? Seems expensive, a bit. Is it worth it? (9 Replies)
pki-server-upgrade(8) PKI Server Upgrade Tool pki-server-upgrade(8)NAME
pki-server-upgrade - Tool for upgrading Certificate System server configuration.
SYNOPSIS
pki-server-upgrade [OPTIONS]
DESCRIPTION
There are two parts to upgrading Certificate System: upgrading the system configuration files used by both the client and the server pro-
cesses and upgrading the server configuration files.
When upgrading Certificate System, the existing server configuration files (e.g. server.xml, web.xml) may need to be upgraded because the
content may have changed from one version to another. The configuration upgrade is executed automatically during RPM upgrade. However, in
case there is a problem, the process can also be run manually using pki-server-upgrade.
The server upgrade process is done incrementally using upgrade scriptlets. A server consists of the server instance itself and the subsys-
tems running in that instance. The upgrade process executes one scriptlet at a time, running through each component (server instance and
subsystem) in parallel and completing before executing the next scriptlet. If one component encounters an error, that component is skipped
in the subsequent upgrade scriptlets. The upgrade process and scriptlet execution for each component is monitored in upgrade trackers. A
counter shows the latest index number for the most recently executed scriptlet; when all scriptlets have run, the component tracker shows
the updated version number.
The scriptlets are stored in the upgrade directory:
/usr/share/pki/server/upgrade/<version>/<index>-<name>
The version is the server version to be upgraded. The index is the script execution order. The name is the scriptlet name.
During upgrade, the scriptlets will back up all changes to the file system into the following folder:
/var/log/pki/server/upgrade/<version>/<index>
The version and index values indicate the scriptlet being executed. A copy of the files and folders that are being modified or removed will
be stored in oldfiles. The names of the newly-added files and folders will be stored in newfiles.
The instance upgrade process is tracked using this file:
/var/lib/pki/<instance>/conf/tomcat.conf
The subsystem upgrade process is tracked using this file:
/var/lib/pki/<instance>/<subsystem>/conf/CS.cfg
The file stores the current configuration version and the last successful scriptlet index.
OPTIONS
General options
--silent
Upgrade in silent mode.
--status
Show upgrade status only without performing the upgrade.
--revert
Revert the last version.
-i, --instance <instance>
Upgrade a specific instance only.
-s, --subsystem <subsystem>
Upgrade a specific subsystem in an instance only.
-t, --instance-type <type>
Upgrade a specific instance type, by the major version number of the Dogtag instance. For example, use 9 for Dogtag 9 instances and
10 for Dogtag 10.
-X Show advanced options.
-v, --verbose
Run in verbose mode.
-h, --help
Show this help message.
Advanced options
The advanced options circumvent the normal component tracking process by changing the scriptlet order or changing the tracker information.
WARNING: These options may render the system unusable.
--scriptlet-version <version>
Run scriptlets for a specific version only.
--scriptlet-index <index>
Run a specific scriptlet only.
--remove-tracker
Remove the tracker.
--reset-tracker
Reset the tracker to match the package version.
--set-tracker <version>
Set the tracker to a specific version.
OPERATIONS
Interactive mode
By default, pki-server-upgrade will run interactively to upgrade all server instances and subsystems on the machine. It will ask for a con-
firmation before executing each scriptlet.
% pki-server-upgrade
If there is an error, it will stop and show the error.
Silent mode
The upgrade process can also be done silently without user interaction:
% pki-server-upgrade --silent
If there is an error, the upgrade process will stop for that particular instance/subsystem. Other instances/subsystems will continue to be
upgraded.
Checking upgrade status
It is possible to check the status of a running upgrade process.
% pki-server-upgrade --status
Troubleshooting
Check the scriptlet to see which operations are being executed. Once the error is identified and corrected, the upgrade can be resumed by
re-running pki-server-upgrade.
If necessary, the upgrade can be run in verbose mode:
% pki-server-upgrade --verbose
It is possible to rerun a failed script by itself, specifying the instance and subsystem, version, and scriptlet index:
% pki-server-upgrade --instance pki-tomcat --subsystem ca --scriptlet-version 10.0.1 --scriptlet-index 1
Reverting an upgrade
If necessary, the upgrade can be reverted:
% pki-server-upgrade --revert
Files and folders that were created by the scriptlet will be removed. Files and folders that were modified or removed by the scriptlet will
be restored.
