ESGF Upgrade

Upgrade Procedure

Warning

This procedure has been validated to upgrade nodes running ESGF 1.4 or higher. Nodes running ESGF 1.3 or lower should be aware the upgrade might fail. It is recommended for this kind of nodes to backup before upgrade and be prepared to roll back. The ESGF 1.7.2 installation from scratch is validated and would be the solution in this case.

Unix User

You must be root or effectively root to run this program, prefixing the command with sudo will not allow the use of needed environment variables! If you must use sudo, do so only to become root proper then source your user's .[bash]rc file so that root has it's envronment set accordingly! Or you can more simply become root using sudo's "-s" flag.

Prerequisites

Barring gcc-gfortran, most of the other packages ought to be already installed, but it doesn't hurt to make sure!

 yum install autoconf automake bison file flex gcc gcc-c++ gettext-devel libtool uuid-devel libuuid-devel libxml2 libxml2-devel libxslt libxslt-devel lsof make openssl-devel pam-devel pax readline-devel tk-devel wget zlib-devel perl-Archive-Tar perl-XML-Parser libX11-devel libtool-ltdl-devel e2fsprogs-devel.x86_64 gcc-gfortran libicu-devel.x86_64 libgtextutils-devel.x86_64 '*ExtUtils*

cd /usr/local/bin
wget -O esg-bootstrap http://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/esgf/dist/esgf-installer/1.7/esg-bootstrap --no-check-certificate
