Hello,

I am trying to upgrade from newton to ocata. Everything goes well except the compute nodes. When i remove the newton package sources and add the ocata sources and run the command to upgrade all the packages it fails to the nova-compute upgrade. From the installation log i can understand that there is something going on with the local nova.sqlite database that it cannot be upgraded properly. I tried removing the nova.sqlite database and then the installation proceeds, but then nova-compute service doesn't work properly and i cannot manage the current VMs that have been created with the newton release. The installation log is below. If someone could help it would be great. Thank you

Do you want to continue? [Y/n] Setting up nova-common (2:15.0.2-0ubuntu1~cloud0) ...
