Introduction to the PIM migrator

What does it do?

  • The PIM migrator performs the provider ID migration in the compute, backup, and networking providers
    • It updates the VMs, backups, firewalls, and load balancers in the providers and in Redis
  • It also tests the migration in dry run mode
  • It must be run on all Remote Services servers

What does it output?

  • An SQL file to run on the kinton database
  • A log in standard output (you should redirect it to a file)

Requirements

The PIM migrator requires the following.

  • The migration plan from the PIM planner
  • Access to: (question) does this mean network access, anything else like root credentials, (question) (question)
    • the Redis instance of the Remote Service server.
    • the hypervisors in the datacenter


Before you run the PIM migrator you MUST:

  1. Start the Abiquo upgrade to 5.3 as usual including
    1. Stop the Abiquo platform
    2. Create backups including snapshots, Database dump, and Redis dump
  2. Upgrade the database
  3. STOP the upgrade
  4. Run the PIM planner and obtain the migration plan

Run the PIM migrator

Log in to ALL Remote Services Servers and do these steps on EACH server:

  1. Install the PIM tools

    yum install abiquo-pim-tools

    The default install folder is /opt/abiquo/pim-tools

  2. Obtain the datacenter-id of the Remote Services server from the value of the abiquo.datacenter.id property in the abiquo.properties file.

    abiquo.datacenter.id=abq_dc1

    In this case, the value of the datacenter-id parameter will be "abq_dc1"

  3. Run the PIM migrator.

    We recommend that you save the log in standard output to a file. And we recommend that you give the output files names that will identify the Remote Services server.

    For example:

    java -jar /opt/abiquo/pim-tools/pimmigrator.jar -dc=abq_dc1 -redishost=localhost -plan=migration-plan.data -noseed -output=update_DC1.sql > pimmigrator_DC1.log
  4. Check the output file. If there are any errors or warnings, resolve them.
    If necessary, contact Abiquo Support.
  5. Copy the SQL file from the Remote Services server to the Abiquo database server.

    For example

    scp update_DC1.sql root@my.database.server:~/

After you run the migrator on ALL Remote Services servers, run the SQL upgrades on the database server. 


Update the Abiquo database server

  1. Update the Abiquo database with all of the update.sql files

    mysql kinton < update_DC1.sql
    mysql kinton < update_DC2.sql

Now continue with the Abiquo upgrade

PIM migrator notes

The migrator does not process the following providers.

  • Hyper-V
  • Networker
  • Google Cloud Platform (see note below)
  • Firewalls and load balancers that are not in NSX

For Google Cloud Platform, if you have VMs deployed before the upgrade, after you apply the PIM tools, do these steps:

  1. Delete the VMs from the platform only 
    • in the API, delete them with the logicaldelete parameter set to true
  2. Delete the virtual datacenters
  3. Onboard the resources again


  • No labels
