EL10 virthost upgrades - See: `updates-uptime-cmd.py list --osname=9 '*vmhost*'` - silence the <virthost> in Nagios/Zabbix - virsh list - per VM: - grab the XML from `/etc/libvirt/qemu/<hostname>.xml` and copy the XML - Created/used `~/el9-vmhosts-qemu-backups/<virthost>/` on batcave. - shutdown the vm - switch to the DRAC console - PXEboot the host - pick the <os>-nodisk option from grub - boots to vnc and asks you to fill in the disk stuff - 1Gb -> /boot (ext4) - 0.5Gb -> /boot/efi (format as EFI System partition) - unlock the encrypted LUKS - reformat /, /boot, /boot/efi, and SWAP - Change /boot/efi to esp partition type, or you'll get a weird partitioning error when it uses the default of vfat. - leave the guests alone - double check the destroy/create box, and then hit begin install - Reboot, you'll need the LUKS key (no tang yet) - Delete the ansible facts cache for the host - `rm ~/.ansible_facts_cache/<virthost>` - Run the playbook to fix everything - You might need to first manually **upgrade** `redhat-release`, so you get the new PQC GPG keys, or some package installs will fail. - `groups/virthost.yml --limit <virthost>` - Maybe with `--skip-tags zabbix_api` first ;) - Update to the latest packages: `yum up -y` - Reboot. - Restore the VMs - Copy the XML files back. - For each file: `virsh define <hostname>.xml` - Then check with: `virsh list --all` - Then start them with: `virsh start <hostname>` - Rerun the playbook, with no skips, to make sure everything is good.
