Abstract
Programming methods and products are described for developing and producing installation and/or upgrade software for systems where multiple versions of software are available. Information is stored representing the version of software that is being installed, the version of software being installed having an updated feature. Groups of commands enable the transition from a present version of the software to another version of software having another version of the feature. An example of such a feature is deployment of logical volume partitions. A state machine is executed that consults the stored information to access one or more of the groups of commands. The one or more groups of commands is executed to transition from the present version of the software to the version of software that is being installed having the updated feature. If an error occurs during the execution of a group of commands, then recovery information including remediation commands is executed.
