<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>Just have a quick question regarding upgrading from Newton to
Ocata using OSA. We have a small installation ( 4 compute. 3
management, 2 network and some Ceph storage nodes ) And we are
looking to upgrade from Ubuntu 14.04 Newton to Ubuntu 16.04
Ocata.</p>
<p>Does anyone have any good tips on how to do this at all? We are
not sure whether it is best to decommission a single node at a
time, upgrade that to Ubuntu 16.04 and then get Ocata installed
onto that. Or whether there is a better method at all?</p>
<p>We are conscious that if we bootstrap our ansible deployer
machine for Ocata, it will then not be able to manage the nodes
that are running 14.04 Newton we assume?</p>
<p>Another thing we were thinking was to possibly get some more kit
and just install Ocata from scratch on that and start to migrate
customers over, but again we assume would need a separate deployer
to do so?.</p>
<p>We would prefer to be able to upgrade both the OS for Ubuntu and
Openstack to Ocata using our current set up and just wondered if
this was even possible with OSA? Unfortunately we do not have the
budget to simply keep on getting more and more kit, so we have to
be quite tactile about how we do things.</p>
<p>We are going to test this on our dev environment and see what
breaks, but just wondered if anyone here has come across this
already and suffered the pain :)<br>
</p>
<p>Any suggestions would be much appreciated.</p>
<p>Many thanks,<br>
</p>
