10/03/2022, 9:21 AMall infrastructure components must be the same OS

10/03/2022, 9:22 AMyou would have to migrate, by standing up a clone of the system on the new OS and restoring backups to it

10/03/2022, 9:24 AMim not sure how you could have installed an ubuntu replica against a centos primary, this may not be the issue however
Marty Ewings
10/03/2022, 9:24 AMthe exact error message could just mean communication was interrupted, if you run

10/03/2022, 9:25 AMalso do you have a puppet enterprise licence? if so opening a ticket at support.puppet.com will get you some help from our brilliant support team

10/03/2022, 9:26 AMI'm not even at the stage of adding the replica in the cluster. You need to have the puppet agent installed on the futur replica to be able to add it in the cluster first.
So basically, it's just a simple node for now.

10/03/2022, 9:28 AMSo you have an Ubuntu primary, and an ubuntu normal agent, thats installed and working correctly? and you cant orchestrate it, the logs on the agent looks like it is connected to a broker, does it stay connected or does it constantly reconnect?
Marty Ewings
10/03/2022, 9:30 AMAre you in a position to open a ticket with our team? i can do what i can here, but as a Puppet Enterprise Customer you can leverage the official support to get a more timely resolution

Jean-Dominique VANPE
10/03/2022, 12:18 PMYes, I'll open a ticket to the support

10/03/2022, 3:57 PM@Marty Ewings ah damn, replica and primary need the same OS? I need to do some RHEL 7->8 upgrades and was hoping I can add a RHEL 8 replica to RHEL 7 primay, promote replica to primay, then redo the old primary

10/03/2022, 3:57 PMyeah as do compilers, it all comes down to the packages in the installer being for one distro, and they are needed to share round the other components

10/03/2022, 3:58 PMmhm ok
bastelfreak
10/03/2022, 3:58 PMis there any supported way for major PE or OS upgrades without/with little downtime?
bastelfreak
10/03/2022, 4:00 PMalternative idea was to spin up a new environment, import old CA, update loadbalancer to redirect to the new env

10/03/2022, 4:00 PMyeah thats a standard migration, how our PS usually does it

10/04/2022, 6:46 AMWell, it can work. We managed to have a CentOS 8 (Master) and Ubuntu (Replica) working together.
There's a little trick to do, you need to push the packages of your OS on the master and change a symlink.
