Versions of PVE packages differs on two cluster nodes

[nasenmann72]

Hello,

we have a two node PVE cluster (same hardware) which differs in versions of PVE packages:

"newer" node:

obelix:/mnt/pve# pveversion -v
pve-manager: 1.6-5 (pve-manager/1.6/5261)
running kernel: 2.6.32-4-pve
proxmox-ve-2.6.32: 1.6-25
pve-kernel-2.6.32-4-pve: 2.6.32-25
pve-kernel-2.6.18-3-pve: 2.6.18-6
pve-kernel-2.6.24-12-pve: 2.6.24-25
qemu-server: 1.1-22
pve-firmware: 1.0-9
libpve-storage-perl: 1.0-14
vncterm: 0.9-2
vzctl: 3.0.24-1pve4
vzdump: 1.2-8
vzprocps: 2.0.11-1dso2
vzquota: 3.0.11-1
pve-qemu-kvm: 0.12.5-2
ksm-control-daemon: 1.0-4

"older" node

asterix:/mnt/pve# pveversion --verbose
pve-manager: 1.6-2 (pve-manager/1.6/5087)
running kernel: 2.6.32-4-pve
proxmox-ve-2.6.32: 1.6-19
pve-kernel-2.6.32-4-pve: 2.6.32-19
pve-kernel-2.6.18-3-pve: 2.6.18-6
pve-kernel-2.6.24-12-pve: 2.6.24-25
qemu-server: 1.1-18
pve-firmware: 1.0-8
libpve-storage-perl: 1.0-14
vncterm: 0.9-2
vzctl: 3.0.24-1pve4
vzdump: 1.2-7
vzprocps: 2.0.11-1dso2
vzquota: 3.0.11-1
pve-qemu-kvm: 0.12.5-1
ksm-control-daemon: 1.0-4

Both nodes use the same sources.list. How is that possible?

Best regards.

Best regards.

if you update both hosts in the same time this is not really possible. it looks that you did not update the "older" one.
just follow this: http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Downloads#Update_a_running_Proxmox_Virtual_Environment_to_1.6

 

[nasenmann72]

I surely did update both nodes. As I try this again I get on the "older" one:

proxmox-ve-2.6.32 is already the newest version.

So this is weird. The only thing is that I do not use aptitude, I use apt-get, but this shouldn't be a problem, or should it?

This is the sources.list on the "older one":

asterix:/mnt/pve# cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb [URL]http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian[/URL] lenny main contrib

# PVE packages provided by proxmox.com
deb [URL]http://download.proxmox.com/debian[/URL] lenny pve

# security updates
deb [URL]http://security.debian.org/[/URL] lenny/updates main contrib

and this of the "newer one":

obelix:/mnt/pve# cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb [URL]http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian[/URL] lenny main contrib

# PVE packages provided by proxmox.com
deb [URL]http://download.proxmox.com/debian[/URL] lenny pve

# security updates
deb [URL]http://security.debian.org/[/URL] lenny/updates main contrib

yes, thats strange. try aptitude full-upgrade

No- should be no problem.

When I had problems with packages that should have been available having no candidate to install, it too made no sense.
Nevertheless, adding an additional mirror from a neighboring country to sources.list resolved the issue.

Hi,

thanks for your replies. aptitude full-upgrade shoul be comparble to apt-get dist-upgrade? No, both of them did not solve the problem. Also, I added another debian repository to my sources.list, but the Proxmox packages should only be found in the Proxmox repositories, so I do not understand how this could solve the problem.

I did clean up some packages on the two nodes so that only the following packages now differ on the two cluster nodes:

Still very strange!!!
