"invalid server id" error occurs when updating index after upgrade

[Christopher John]

The original version is gerrit 3.6.3, and I plan to upgrade it to 3.7.1. When I run the java -jar gerrit-3.7.1.war init -d /home/gerrit/ command to enter information as prompted, no error is reported.

But when I update the index by executing "java -jar gerrit-3.7.1.war reindex -d /home/gerrit/", Appear error "com. Google. Gerrit. Server. Notedb. InvalidServerIdException: invalid server id, expected e2d7b991-ec1a-4834-becb-6b6240984f40: actual: 24129dfe-e469-43a0-b591-53a522621fc8”

I also tried to manually change the server id and then re-execute "java -jar gerrit-3.7.1.war reindex -d /home/gerrit/", but there was still an error and I could execute "sh gerrit.sh start". The upgrade to gerrit3.7.1 can be seen on the web interface after startup, but the original committed changes are lost. I think it may be caused by failure to update index.

Finally, attach the print when executing these two commands:

Can you try to run the same reindexing command in 3.6 without changing the gerrit.config?

I suspect you should have the same error.

It looks like you have imported some projects from another Gerrit instance. Were the changes the reindex is failing for belonging to projects imported from another Gerrit instance?

Out of curiosity, why are you planning to migrate to 3..7.1 and not the latest 3.7? You could migrate directly to the latest one (currently 3.7.6).

HTH,

Next time paste the stacktrace verbatim as text and not as a screenshot.

See the note in https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/config-gerrit.html#gerrit.serverId.

Notedb only accepts changes which have been created in the same Gerrit instance to ensure references

to account metadata which are stored in the All-Users repo can be resolved in the same Gerrit instance.

Did you move repositories from another Gerrit instance or did you maybe modify the serverid in gerrit.config ?

Thank you for your reply. How do I clean up Noteb? I have reinstalled and uninstalled gerrit many times in my environment. Could it be that Noteb has a cache that has not been cleared? Is it possible that this is the cause?

[Christopher John]

thank you for your reply. Yes, I imported some projects from another Gerrit instance before, how do I clean them up now?

I think you just need to set gerrit.importedServerId in gerrit.config to the serverid of the server you copied the changes from and Gerrit should accept them as its own.

[Christopher John]

Thank you for your reply, I tried to modify serverid during restart, boot is able to start normally, but the previously committed changes will be lost
