HOWTO: Upgrading 0.2.x to 0.3.x

votdev · 12. Juli 2012

This is a small howto about upgrading your 0.2.x system to 0.3.x. Please note, it is not necessary to install the whole system using the ISO images, instead you can simply update it using the Debian package management.

Please ensure that you have installed the latest available version (0.2.7.4) before upgrading to 0.3.x. Also make sure that all external plugins are ready for 0.3. If not, please uninstall them before upgrading. You also have to upgrade the external plugin repository.

The following plugins maintained by the OMV project are 0.3 ready:

openmediavault-forkeddaapd
openmediavault-iscsitarget
openmediavault-lvm2
openmediavault-netatalk
openmediavault-nut

To upgrade to 0.3.x do the following steps:

Edit the file '/etc/apt/sources.list.d/openmediavault.list' and change the repository name from 'ix' to 'omnius'.

Code

deb http://packages.openmediavault.org/public omnius main
## Uncomment the following line to add software from the proposed repository.
# deb http://packages.openmediavault.org/public omnius-proposed main

Execute the following commands
Code
```
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
```

To edit the file use the 'nano' editor:

Zitat

# nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openmediavault.list

As I do not have any Linux experience yet: how to edit the file '/etc/apt/sources.list.d/openmediavault.list'?

Can this be done using the WebGUI?

If not, which commands need to be used to edit a text file. I managed to find the file openmediavault.list in the /etc/apt/sources.list.d folder but how to edit it now? Is there a text editor available that can be launched from the console?

How can the commands
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
be executed?

You haveto use the CLI (command line interface). To do that login to your system via SSH or physically. Use the 'nano' editor to modify the files. Have a look here how to use nano:

Example:

# nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openmediavault.list

Thanks for the quick hint. Successfully upgraded to 0.3.x now.
Working with the CLI reminds me of good old DOS times

Great support!

Hi Volker,

I just ran an update from 0.2.7.4 to 0.3.0.18. The upgrade seemed to work fine. I could see the 0.3.0.18 in the web UI afterwards. Then, I rebooted the server and now when I try to log in I can't. I get the following error:

Code

Error #2003:
exception 'OMVException' with message 'Invalid method parameter: Array is not an object.' in /usr/share/php/openmediavault/rpc.inc:289
Stack trace:
#0 /var/www/openmediavault/rpc/authentication.inc(52): OMVRpc->validateParams('AuthenticationR...', Array)
#1 [internal function]: AuthenticationRpc->login(Array)
#2 /usr/share/php/openmediavault/rpc.inc(261): call_user_func_array(Array, Array)
#3 /usr/share/php/openmediavault/rpc.inc(97): OMVRpc::exec('Authentication', 'login', Array)
#4 /var/www/openmediavault/rpc.php(44): OMVJsonRpcServer->handle()
#5 {main}

Any idea what I can do to fix this?

Thanks in advance! /// mL

Nevermind. I removed openmediavault-netatalk.

Code

apt-get remove --purge openmediavault-netatalk && apt-get autoremove

... and that fixed the problem.

Thanks for an awesome product!

Did you reboot afterwards? I think I did. Also, check if you have any other openmediavault plugins installed that are causing the problem.

jbastien · 22. Juli 2012

Yep, I rebooted the machine. I will check and uninstall all plugins.

Thanks.

jbastien · 22. Juli 2012

It was the transmission plugin. I followed post to resolve the problem http://forums.openmediavault.o…wtopic.php?f=12&t=99#p366

Thanks

DerBlob · 1. September 2012

Hello,

apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade

but with "apt-get dist-upgrade" i only get

Paketlisten werden gelesen... Fertig
Abhängigkeitsbaum wird aufgebaut

and stucked in 0.2.7.4?

Any ideas what is wrong?

Kutsche · 15. September 2012

Hello,

I also want to switch to 0.3.x. When I

Code

# Nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openmediavault.list

enter, I only get a black page. Should there not be something already displayed?

Greats
Kutsche

have already solved itself. If only I could read. Was a small typo.

cyryllo · 18. September 2012

Show

Code

ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d/

IamTed · 26. November 2012

Ok, how long should it stay on the Configuring MDADM screen? I have hit enter to agree with it, but it is just sitting there. I edited openmediavault.list file and ran apt-get update first. It's been an hour so far and it is still just sitting there.

Jetzt mitmachen!
