Hi folks:
Sorry to be operating in ignorance. Here's my situation:
* Testbed was running release 5.0 (emulab-080901)
* I want to upgrade to emulab-devel with git tag
6c5a053a6abfb6993086f43c243d67e0b9c9a95a (corresponding to a
commit made on 2010-06-14)
* I attempted to do this by downloading that version, and following:
https://users.emulab.net/trac/emulab/wiki/install/update-testbed-v2
* I am not sure whether i still need to follow the various items
in doc/UPDATING after the upgrade. Guessing, i decided to try
the ones that appeared to still need doing.
* One of those items (dated 20091030) suggests updating to the
extended SSL certificate form to add URNs by doing:
> cd /path/to/obj/ssl
> gmake
> sudo gmake install-conf
When i try this, it errors out with:
...
commonName :PRINTABLE:'www.pgeni3.gpolab.bbn.com'
emailAddress :IA5STRING:'testbed-ops@ops.pgeni3.gpolab.bbn.com'
The commonName field needed to be the same in the
CA certificate (boss.pgeni3.gpolab.bbn.com) and the request (www.pgeni3.gpolab.bbn.com)
unable to write 'random state'
gmake: *** [server.pem] Error 1
I don't know why this is, in particular, whether:
(a) It is correct for me to be trying to run this step at this
time, but something is misconfigured in my testbed.
(b) I don't need to run this step: other changes mean that the SSL
certificate format update part of doc/UPDATING has become
obsolete, either because it has already been done by some other
code, or because URN inclusion has moved on (i'm afraid i'm
sufficiently ignorant that i don't know how to look at the
current state of my testbed and see whether or not i have URNs
in anything), so i can skip this, and it's fine.
(c) The upgrade path of going directly from emulab-080901 to a
recent snapshot using the new scripts is not supported. For
best results, i should follow some other upgrade path using an
intermediate code version.
(d) Something else.
Again, sorry for the continued ignorance, and thanks in advance
for any advice you have.
