These files are the most current RPMs associated with the High
Availability Server product.

The RPMs of greatest interest are the piranha*.rpm and
ipvsadm*.rpm files. These are all you need to upgrade an existing
HA Server system, or to update an existing Linux 6.2 system
already using piranha, to the most current level.


UPGRADING High Availability Server systems

Once the ipvsadm and piranha RPMs have been copied to your system, shut down
piranha and perform an "rpm -Fvh piranha*.rpm" command as user "root".
This should update the system and you can then restart piranaha.


UPGRADING Linux 6.2 to HA SERVER 1.0

Detailed information for this can be found on the HA Server project
website http://people.redhat.com/kbarrett/HA/

Basically, the minimum you need to do is get these piranha and ipvsadm
RPMs installed by meeting their dependancies, which in turn can be
satisified by applying all the errata on the main Red Hat web site.

The kernel RPMs are for those people that want to completely upgrade a
Linux 6.2 system to match the kernel shipped in the HA product.

The ha-installer archive is for people that understand the Red Hat
installer, and contains the source code to the installer used on
the HA Server product. It is not needed for any of the upgrading.
The installclass.py file within the archive contains the post-install
logic used to lock down the system.
