interoperability of versions
My production system at the moment consists of a number of machines that are running bacula 1.3.8. Old. I am in the process of upgrading the systems to something newer, either 2.2.8 (in Ubuntu 8.04LTS) or 2.4.2 (in Ubuntu 8.10) as I upgrade the systems on the machines. When I'm done with the upgrade they will all be the same version, whatever it is. Leaving out the obvious issues with the database, can the versions interoperate between machines or do all daemons on all machines have to be the same version? All of the other machines besides the one with the director have only the file daemon or the storage daemon. The configuration files look the same. It would be much easier to incrementally get all the machines that have only one daemon updated and deal with the director last. Is this workable?
If I upgrade the storage daemon on a linux machine will it pick up with the pools as they are and run with it? Or, what kind of problems might I run into?
Thanks for the answers!
