Debian 7 (wheezy) Upgrade Notes¶
Before the upgrade¶
- The upgrade will take longer than usual, because the whole Debian system will be upgraded
- The system must be restarted after the upgrade, because the Linux kernel will also be upgraded
LDAPS¶
In case XiVO is using a LDAP server through SSL/TLS (LDAPS), the documentation instructed you to
append the certificate to /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
. However, this is the wrong way
to add a new certificate, because it will be erased by the upgrade.
To keep your certificate installed through the upgrade, you must follow the instructions given in the LDAP documentation.
After the upgrade¶
GRUB (Cloned Virtual Machines only)¶
GRUB installations on cloned virtual machines may lead to unbootable systems, if not fixed properly before restarting the system. If xivo-upgrade detects your system is in a broken state, it will display a few commands to repair the GRUB installation.
