opennebula upgrade unable to parse oned.conf

Question

I'm trying to upgrade OpenNebula from 5.10 to 5.12. I'm on step 7 of these instructions, but the database upgrade falls down:

$ sudo onedb upgrade -v
Unable to parse oned.conf: undefined method `chomp' for true:TrueClass

I'm not sure what's going wrong here. Is there a way to get more information about where the error is (which line in oned.conf, for example)?

Answer 1

try

onedb upgrade -v -S localhost -u oneadmin -p oneadmin -d opennebula

with: -S being the machine where you host your DB -u most likely oneadmin user -p most likely 'oneadmin' as a password -d being the opennebula database name (most likely 'opennebula')

Be careful, since 5.12, OpenNebula will not provide migration package to new versions unless if you subscribe to their upgrade program. Might want to look at CloudStack instead.

Answer 2

Have you had a look at this? http://docs.opennebula.io/5.12/intro_release_notes/upgrades/start_here.html#community-edition

If you are running a non-commercial deployment, just use the form to ask for the migrator package.
