perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Kathy Benninger <>]

I will be upgrading several pS-PT nodes from NetInstall 3.2.2 to NetInstall 
3.3.  My plan, at least for now, is to preserve and restore the 
configuration files.

The upgrade instructions posted at:

http://code.google.com/p/perfsonar-ps/wiki/pSPerformanceToolkit33UpgradeGuidev

are giving me problems at Step 4.  The instructions say:

4. Run the script giving it the name of the gzipped tarball you would like 
generated as the only parameter. In the command below, all backups will be 
stored in the home directory in a file call ps-toolkit-3.2-backup.tgz:

./ ps-toolkit-migrate-backup.sh  ~/ps-toolkit-3.2-backup.tgz

Comments/questions:

1) Typo <space> in the above sample command line

2) I needed to run with sudo to get user passwords.

3) The script fails with:
Backing-up administrative info...Unable to copy 
/opt/perfsonar_ps/toolkit/etc/administrative_info

Is the grep -v and conditional test in ps-toolkit-migrate-backup.sh correct?

#get administrative info
printf "Backing-up administrative info..."
grep -v "site_project=pS-NPToolkit-" 
/opt/perfsonar_ps/toolkit/etc/administrative_info > 
$TEMP_BAK_DIR/opt/perfsonar_ps/toolkit/etc/administrative_info
if [ "$?" != "0" ]; then
    echo "Unable to copy /opt/perfsonar_ps/toolkit/etc/administrative_info"
    exit 1
fi
printf "[SUCCESS]"
echo ""

Thanks!
Kathy
