Chapter 5. Upgrading a geo-replication deployment of Red Hat Quay on OpenShift Container Platform Use the following procedure to upgrade your geo-replicated Red Hat Quay on OpenShift Container Platform deployment. Important When upgrading geo-replicated Red Hat Quay on OpenShift Container Platform deployment to the y-stream release (for example, Red Hat Quay 3.7 Red Hat Quay 3.8), you must stop operations before upgrading. There is intermittent downtime down upgrading from one y-stream release to the . It is highly recommended to back up your Red Hat Quay on OpenShift Container Platform deployment before upgrading. Procedure This procedure assumes that you are running the Red Hat Quay registry on three or more systems. For this procedure, we will assume three systems named System A, System B, and System C . System A will serve as the primary system in which the Red Hat Quay Operator is deployed. On System B and System C, scale down your Red Hat Quay registry. This is done by disabling auto scaling and overriding the replica county for Red Hat Quay, mirror workers, and Clair if it is managed. Use the following quayregistry.yaml file as a reference: apiVersion: quay.redhat.com/v1 kind: QuayRegistry metadata: name: registry namespace: ns spec: components: ... - kind: horizontalpodautoscaler managed: false 1 - kind: quay managed: true overrides: 2 replicas: 0 - kind: clair managed: true overrides: replicas: 0 - kind: mirror managed: true overrides: replicas: 0 ... 1 Disable auto scaling of Quay , Clair and Mirroring workers 2 Set the replica count to 0 for components accessing the database and objectstorage Note You must keep the Red Hat Quay registry running on System A. Do not update the quayregistry.yaml file on System A. Wait for the registry-quay-app , registry-quay-mirror , and registry-clair-app pods to disappear. Enter the following command to check their status: oc get pods -n <quay-namespace> Example output quay-operator.v3.7.1-6f9d859bd-p5ftc 1/1 Running 0 12m quayregistry-clair-postgres-7487f5bd86-xnxpr 1/1 Running 1 (12m ago) 12m quayregistry-quay-app-upgrade-xq2v6 0/1 Completed 0 12m quayregistry-quay-redis-84f888776f-hhgms 1/1 Running 0 12m On System A, initiate a Red Hat Quay upgrade to the latest y-stream version. This is a manual process. For more information about upgrading installed Operators, see Upgrading installed Operators . For more information about Red Hat Quay upgrade paths, see Upgrading the Red Hat Quay Operator . After the new Red Hat Quay registry is installed, the necessary upgrades on the cluster are automatically completed. Afterwards, new Red Hat Quay pods are started with the latest y-stream version. Additionally, new Quay pods are scheduled and started. Confirm that the update has properly worked by navigating to the Red Hat Quay UI: In the OpenShift console, navigate to Operators Installed Operators , and click the Registry Endpoint link. Important Do not execute the following step until the Red Hat Quay UI is available. Do not upgrade the Red Hat Quay registry on System B and on System C until the UI is available on System A. After confirming that the update has properly worked on System A, initiate the Red Hat Quay upgrade on System B and on System C. The Operator upgrade results in an upgraded Red Hat Quay installation, and the pods are restarted. Note Because the database schema is correct for the new y-stream installation, the new pods on System B and on System C should quickly start.
