do a dare to do a yum update?

[Michael Scheidell]

I did this last night: and it trashed, totally unrecoverable, my sipx
4.4.0 system.


Aug 11 16:39:54 Updated: 30:bind-libs-9.3.6-20.P1.el5_8.2.i386
Aug 11 16:39:57 Updated: initscripts-8.45.42-1.el5.centos.1.i386
Aug 11 16:39:58 Updated: 30:bind-9.3.6-20.P1.el5_8.2.i386
Aug 11 16:39:59 Updated: 30:bind-utils-9.3.6-20.P1.el5_8.2.i386
Aug 11 16:39:59 Updated: 12:dhclient-3.0.5-31.el5_8.1.i386
Aug 11 16:39:59 Updated: sudo-1.7.2p1-14.el5_8.2.i386
Aug 11 16:40:00 Updated: 30:caching-nameserver-9.3.6-20.P1.el5_8.2.i386
Aug 11 16:40:00 Updated: 12:dhcp-3.0.5-31.el5_8.1.i386

(ok, the server crashed a couple of times before that, so the fs might
have been fskeded up).


I am running on the 4.40 released iso, cd (which needs yum updates!)

I think I can freeze those.. the symptoms were that postgresql could not
find the unix socket on /tmp/.s.

and in logs:


"2012-08-11T21:31:54.571371Z":1:CDR:ERR:sip.secnap.com:main:00000000:cdr:"Problems
with CDR DB connection."
"2012-08-11T21:31:54.571637Z":2:CDR:ERR:sip.secnap.com:main:00000000:cdr:"Exiting
because of error: <could not translate host name \"localhost\" to
address: Name or service not known\n>"


so, I am GUESSING/ASSUMING that one of the bind-libs is not compatible
with postgres.

(or I trashed postgres with the crashes anyway)

but, deinstall, reinstall, rm -rf /var/lib/pgsql/data initdb, setup,
nothing helped.

I needed to boot the iso 4.40 on a new machine, and restore a (4 day
old) backup.

that I know needs yum updates for sipx ;-)

I am going to do this for now:

in /etc/yum.conf

exclude= bind-libs-9.3.6-20.P1.el5_8.2.i386
initscripts-8.45.42-1.el5.centos.1.i386 bind-9.3.6-20.P1.el5_8.2.i386 \
bind-utils-9.3.6-20.P1.el5_8.2.i386 dhclient-3.0.5-31.el5_8.1.i386
sudo-1.7.2p1-14.el5_8.2.i386 \
caching-nameserver-9.3.6-20.P1.el5_8.2.i386 dhcp-3.0.5-31.el5_8.1.i386

I just updated a lab (4.4) system, did a full yum update and everything
came back up no problem.

I would suggest the issue is with your postgres server function, and
perhaps not with bind. Again, as active CDR records are waiting, they are
flushed/written to the PGSQL DB (SIPXCDR is the DB name) when the call
completes. Whatever the cause I think the postgres error logs should hold
some good nuggets.

By default it keeps today plus the last 6 days worth in
/var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_log

(postgresql-Sun.log, etc.) Ideally they are small files, if they are big
they might hold bigger clues. So will /var/lib/pgsql/pgstartup.log.
