(Feb 02, 2009) Thomas: Prepare sakai_2-5-x-prod-010 on sakaiprod1

(05:00 Thomas) Put smartsite into maintenance mode and shutdown Sakai on all 7 application servers
(05:05 Thomas) Deploy sakai_2-5-x-prod-010 tag on all 7 application servers via setup-sakai-node.sh
(05:10 Thomas) Startup sakaiprod1
- Add Guest Registration tool via Admin's Site tool to the Guest Access site
- Record the url of the just added Guest Registration tool
- Stop Sakai on sakaiprod1
- Edit sakai.properties file: property guest.registration.tool.url
  - The property is of the following format: guest.registration.tool.url=http://smartsite.ucdavis.edu:8443/portal/site/<siteId>/page/<pageId>?toolstate-<toolId>= e.g. guest.registration.tool.url=https://smartsite.ucdavis.edu:8443/portal/site/fcb8657c-f611-4314-9f51-d4a3d90bf220/page/b9137edd-a08a-4606-9ebe-1f64caccab73?toolstate-4a2dc079-5254-4122-8978-2bae859edfb0=
    - We forgot the following step during deployment
    - Commit sakai.properties changes to:
      - https://mware.ucdavis.edu/svn/ucd-sakai/sakai-properties/branches/sakai_2-5-x/smartsite-prod/
      - https://mware.ucdavis.edu/svn/ucd-sakai/sakai-properties/tags/sakai-properties-2-5-x-prod-010/

(05:20 Thomas) Run setup-sakai-node.sh on all 7 application servers
(05:30 Thomas) Start Sakai on all 7 application nodes
(05:35 TEAM) Verify Guest Access installation
- Create a project site ("Guest Access Verification") [Thomas]
- Enable site.add.guests function for that site's maintain role [Thomas, verified by Kirk]
- Add guest to project site [Thomas to add: kdalexander@sbcglobal.net, swavocet@gmail.com, vikingvikingson@yahoo.com]
- Register and activate guest [Kirk, Sandra and Pete to register their own external accounts, Thomas to Activate, then Kirk/Sandra/Pete attempt to login]
(06:00 TEAM) Evaluate test results [If all 3 users can login then good to go, else discuss fallback.]
(06:20 Thomas) Take 7 application servers out of maintenance

( 5 min ) In case the Guest Access test fails for some reason, we just won't enable the site.add.guests function on any sites and remove from "Guest Access Verification" site
- ( 10 min ) We may want to remove the Guest Login button from the portal site by editing the sakai.properties and restarting Sakai all 7 application servers. Comment out the following properties:
  - #SAK-2503: guest access - enable alternate login xlogin.enabled=true xlogin.text=Registered Guest Login
( 30 min ) If code fails during test - roll back to previous sakai_2-5-x-009
- Stop Sakai on all application servers
- Redeploy sakai_2-5-x-009
- Redeploy sakai.properties 009 prod tag
- Running setup-sakai-node.sh on all application servers
- Startup Sakai on all application servers
