migration fails over ssh connection

Open robmaz opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

When almalinux-deploy.sh reinstalled the openssh package, I lost connection and am now left with an unreachable server ...

Apparently it only lost connection and kept doing stuff and rebooted, and now reports AlmaLinux. The doc says it should report success and then suggests a manual reboot, so this still feels irregular. Also, after trying this on a second computer, it may be the NetworkManager update that leads to losing connection a few packages later.

Maybe the docs should be augmented to run the upgrade script in a tmux session.

Just a tip: Always make sure you have access to IPMI or some virtual terminal if possible, that way you can never lose connection even if SSH fails. Especially important during a server migration.
