Upgrading from v2 to v3 on CentOS 7

Verifying the presence of CentOS 7

First, check that the system is in fact running CentOS 7 by executing the following command:

   cat /etc/redhat-release

You should get back something like this:

   CentOS Linux release 7.6.1810 (Core)

Verify that the first number in the version string ('7.6.1810') is a 7. If it is not, or you get a 'No such file or directory' error, then STOP. You are not running CentOS 7, and proceeding may damage or destroy your installation!

Verifying that configured RLMs have replacement PyPAD scripts available

Go into RDAdmin->ManageHosts->hostname->RDAirPlay->ConfigureNow&NextParameters and make a note of each entry in the 'Loadable Modules' list. Using the following table, verify that each RLM (in the 'Path' field) has a replacement PyPAD script. If one does not, then STOP. You will need to create your own PyPAD script to duplicate the functionality of the custom RLM.

PyPAD Script Replacements for RLMs

RLM	PyPAD
rlm_ando	pypad_ando.py
rlm_filewrite	pypad_filewrite.py
rlm_icecast2	pypad_icecast2.py
rlm_inno713	pypad_inno713.py
rlm_liqcomp	pypad_liqcomp.py
rlm_live365	pypad_live365.py
rlm_serial	pypad_serial.py
rlm_shoutcast1	pypad_shoutcast1.py
rlm_spinitroni_plus	pypad_spinitron.py
rlm_spottrap	pypad_spottrap.py
rlm_tunein	pypad_tunein.py
rlm_udp	pypad_udp.py
rlm_urlwrite	pypad_urlwrite.py
rlm_walltime	pypad_walltime.py
rlm_xds	pypad_xds.py
rlm_xmpad	pypad_xmpad.py

Backing Up the Database

Close all open Rivendell modules, then back up your database, using RDAdmin->BackupDatabase.

Updating the repository assignments

Update the respository assignments by running the following commands (as root):

   yum clean expire-cache
   mv /etc/yum.repos.d/Paravel-Broadcast.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/Paravel-Broadcast.repo-DISABLED
   wget http://download.paravelsystems.com/CentOS/7rd3/Paravel-Rivendell3.repo -P /etc/yum.repos.d/

Updating the Rivendell Packages

Update the Rivendell packages by doing (as root):

   yum update rivendell

Creating Replacement PyPAD Instances

Go into RDAdmin->ManageHosts->hostname->PyPADInstances and create a new instance for each RLM noted in the 2.x setup, using the proper replacement PyPAD script. Remove all of the default configuration for each instance, replacing it with the configuration copy/pasted from the original RLM configuration file (the 'Argument' field).
