perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Antoine Delvaux <>]

Hello Greg,

The process you detail below has been given in a specific situation where a 
user was trying to install a standalone esmond package.  That is not the 
regular update process for a perfSONAR toolkit.

In order to better advise you with upgrade instructions, we need to know 
which version of the perfSONAR toolkit you currently have installed.  It 
would also be interesting to know how many perfSONAR nodes you need to 
upgrade and if the perfSONAR toolkits you are running have valuable 
measurement history that you want to keep or if it is an old and outdated 
installation that is not in service anymore that you want to revive.

Thank you,
