Disabling V1 test job submissions
=================================
**IMPORTANT** 2017.10 starts the roadmap to the removal of V1 by DISABLING
all V1 test job submissions.
Queued V1 test jobs will continue to run but once 2017.10 is installed, all
attempts to submit a V1 test job will be rejected. This includes health
checks for devices which do not yet have a V2 health check. (So those
devices would go offline - remove the health check job from the database
entry of the device-type to get the device back online if there are queued
jobs.)
Before installing this upgrade, check the Migration Status page on the
particular instance. e.g.
https://staging.validation.linaro.org/scheduler/migration
Notification on installation
============================
By default, installing 2017.10 will raise a notice, reminding you of this
change:
The 2017.10 release **disables ALL V1 test job submissions**. Queued
test jobs will continue to run but if you proceed, only V2 submissions
will be accepted by this instance.
.
If you want to create an archive of the existing V1 test data, install
this version but do not allow further upgrades of LAVA packages.
.
See
https://lists.linaro.org/pipermail/lava-announce/2017-September/000037.html
If you are deploying this change using configuration management, you may
need to define this environment variable to allow the installation to
proceed:
APT_LISTCHANGES_FRONTEND=none
Window for creating a V1 archive
================================
Once installed, admins can choose to wait until all queued V1 test jobs
have finished and then use a backup of the postgres database to create a
read-only V1 archive. Install 2017.10 on the archive instance and then
restore the backup database. All dashboard objects in 2017.10 are
read-only. Admins will need to ensure that all devices on the archive
instance match those on the original instance and then change all devices
to Retired status in the django admin interface.

Archive repository support
==========================
2017.10 will be preserved in a dedicated LAVA repository in case an archive
has to be reconstructed from a database backup after 2017.11 is released.
