How to Update Openfiler iSCSI Storage Appliance

openfilerThis quick post will show you two method to update the Openfiler appliance. On the previous post, i have describes in details on how to setup and configure Openfiler iSCSI Storage. Openfiler is an Open Source Network Attached Storage and Storage Area Network Solution.

1. First method to update the Openfiler is from terminal or ssh session. Login as a root to Openfiler iSCSI Storage Appliance. If Internet access is available: Test connectivity to the Internet by pinging conary.rpath.com (the online source for Openfiler updates) as below :

[root@storage01 ~]# ping conary.rpath.com
PING conary.rpath.com (208.82.215.41) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from conary.rpath.com (208.82.215.41): icmp_seq=0 ttl=52 time=395 ms
64 bytes from conary.rpath.com (208.82.215.41): icmp_seq=1 ttl=52 time=402 ms
64 bytes from conary.rpath.com (208.82.215.41): icmp_seq=2 ttl=52 time=403 ms
64 bytes from conary.rpath.com (208.82.215.41): icmp_seq=3 ttl=52 time=408 ms
64 bytes from conary.rpath.com (208.82.215.41): icmp_seq=4 ttl=52 time=405 ms
64 bytes from conary.rpath.com (208.82.215.41): icmp_seq=5 ttl=52 time=409 ms
64 bytes from conary.rpath.com (208.82.215.41): icmp_seq=6 ttl=52 time=408 ms

If Internet access is available: Update the Openfiler installation by typing conary updateall and pressing Enter.

Note: It will take quite a few minutes for the updates to be downloaded and applied.

[root@storage01 ~]# conary updateall

Examples :

[root@storage01 ~]# conary updateall
