Chapter 6. Updating a cluster in a disconnected environment 6.1. About cluster updates in a disconnected environment A disconnected environment is one in which your cluster nodes cannot access the internet or where you want to manage update recommendations and release images locally for policy or performance purposes. This section covers mirroring OpenShift Container Platform images, managing an OpenShift Update Service, and performing cluster updates in a disconnected environment. 6.1.1. Mirroring OpenShift Container Platform images To update your cluster in a disconnected environment, your cluster environment must have access to a mirror registry that has the necessary images and resources for your targeted update. A single container image registry is sufficient to host mirrored images for several clusters in the disconnected network. The following page has instructions for mirroring images onto a repository in your disconnected cluster: Mirroring OpenShift Container Platform images 6.1.2. Performing a cluster update in a disconnected environment You can use one of the following procedures to update a disconnected OpenShift Container Platform cluster: Updating a cluster in a disconnected environment using the OpenShift Update Service Updating a cluster in a disconnected environment without the OpenShift Update Service 6.1.3. Uninstalling the OpenShift Update Service from a cluster You can use the following procedure to uninstall a local copy of the OpenShift Update Service (OSUS) from your cluster: Uninstalling the OpenShift Update Service from a cluster 6.2. Mirroring OpenShift Container Platform images You must mirror container images onto a mirror registry before you can update a cluster in a disconnected environment. You can also use this procedure in connected environments to ensure your clusters run only approved container images that have satisfied your organizational controls for external content. Note Your mirror registry must be running at all times while the cluster is running. The following steps outline the high-level workflow on how to mirror images to a mirror registry: Install the OpenShift CLI ( oc ) on all devices being used to retrieve and push release images. Download the registry pull secret and add it to your cluster. If you use the oc-mirror OpenShift CLI ( oc ) plugin : Install the oc-mirror plugin on all devices being used to retrieve and push release images. Create an image set configuration file for the plugin to use when determining which release images to mirror. You can edit this configuration file later to change which release images that the plugin mirrors. Mirror your targeted release images directly to a mirror registry, or to removable media and then to a mirror registry. Configure your cluster to use the resources generated by the oc-mirror plugin. Repeat these steps as needed to update your mirror registry. If you use the oc adm release mirror command : Set environment variables that correspond to your environment and the release images you want to mirror. Mirror your targeted release images directly to a mirror registry, or to removable media and then to a mirror registry. Repeat these steps as needed to update your mirror registry. Compared to using the oc adm release mirror command, the oc-mirror plugin has the following advantages: It can mirror content other than container images. After mirroring images for the first time, it is easier to update images in the registry. The oc-mirror plugin provides an automated way to mirror the release payload from Quay, and also builds the latest graph data image for the OpenShift Update Service running in the disconnected environment. 6.2.1. Mirroring resources using the oc-mirror plugin You can use the oc-mirror OpenShift CLI ( oc ) plugin to mirror images to a mirror registry in your fully or partially disconnected environments. You must run oc-mirror from a system with internet connectivity to download the required images from the official Red Hat registries. See Mirroring images for a disconnected installation by using the oc-mirror plugin v2 for additional details. 6.2.2. Mirroring images using the oc adm release mirror command You can use the oc adm release mirror command to mirror images to your mirror registry. 6.2.2.1. Prerequisites You must have a container image registry that supports Docker v2-2 in the location that will host the OpenShift Container Platform cluster, such as Red Hat Quay. Note If you use Red Hat Quay, you must use version 3.6 or later with the oc-mirror plugin. If you have an entitlement to Red Hat Quay, see the documentation on deploying Red Hat Quay for proof-of-concept purposes or by using the Quay Operator . If you need additional assistance selecting and installing a registry, contact your sales representative or Red Hat Support. If you do not have an existing solution for a container image registry, the mirror registry for Red Hat OpenShift is included in OpenShift Container Platform subscriptions. The mirror registry for Red Hat OpenShift is a small-scale container registry that you can use to mirror OpenShift Container Platform container images in disconnected installations and updates. 6.2.2.2. Preparing your mirror host Before you perform the mirror procedure, you must prepare the host to retrieve content and push it to the remote location. 6.2.2.2.1. Installing the OpenShift CLI You can install the OpenShift CLI ( oc ) to interact with OpenShift Container Platform from a command-line interface. You can install oc on Linux, Windows, or macOS. Important If you installed an earlier version of oc , you cannot use it to complete all of the commands in OpenShift Container Platform 4.18. Download and install the new version of oc . If you are updating a cluster in a disconnected environment, install the oc version that you plan to update to. Installing the OpenShift CLI on Linux You can install the OpenShift CLI ( oc ) binary on Linux by using the following procedure. Procedure Navigate to the OpenShift Container Platform downloads page on the Red Hat Customer Portal. Select the architecture from the Product Variant drop-down list. Select the appropriate version from the Version drop-down list. Click Download Now to the OpenShift v4.18 Linux Clients entry and save the file. Unpack the archive: USD tar xvf <file> Place the oc binary in a directory that is on your PATH . To check your PATH , execute the following command: USD echo USDPATH Verification After you install the OpenShift CLI, it is available using the oc command: USD oc <command> Installing the OpenShift CLI on Windows You can install the OpenShift CLI ( oc ) binary on Windows by using the following procedure. Procedure Navigate to the OpenShift Container Platform downloads page on the Red Hat Customer Portal. Select the appropriate version from the Version drop-down list.

Move the oc binary to a directory on your PATH. To check your PATH , open a terminal and execute the following command: USD echo USDPATH Verification Verify your installation by using an oc command: USD oc <command> Additional resources Installing and using CLI plugins 6.2.2.2.2. Configuring credentials that allow images to be mirrored Create a container image registry credentials file that enables you to mirror images from Red Hat to your mirror. Warning Do not use this image registry credentials file as the pull secret when you install a cluster. If you provide this file when you install cluster, all of the machines in the cluster will have write access to your mirror registry. Prerequisites You configured a mirror registry to use in your disconnected environment. You identified an image repository location on your mirror registry to mirror images into. You provisioned a mirror registry account that allows images to be uploaded to that image repository. You have write access to the mirror registry. Procedure Complete the following steps on the installation host: Download your registry.redhat.io pull secret from Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager . Make a copy of your pull secret in JSON format by running the following command: USD cat ./pull-secret | jq . > <path>/<pull_secret_file_in_json> 1 1 Specify the path to the folder to store the pull secret in and a name for the JSON file that you create. Example pull secret { "auths": { "cloud.openshift.com": { "auth": "b3BlbnNo...", "email": "you@example.com" }, "quay.io": { "auth": "b3BlbnNo...", "email": "you@example.com" }, "registry.connect.redhat.com": { "auth": "NTE3Njg5Nj...", "email": "you@example.com" }, "registry.redhat.io": { "auth": "NTE3Njg5Nj...", "email": "you@example.com" } } } Optional: If using the oc-mirror plugin, save the file as either ~/.docker/config.json or USDXDG_RUNTIME_DIR/containers/auth.json : If the .docker or USDXDG_RUNTIME_DIR/containers directories do not exist, create one by entering the following command: USD mkdir -p <directory_name> Where <directory_name> is either ~/.docker or USDXDG_RUNTIME_DIR/containers . Copy the pull secret to the appropriate directory by entering the following command: USD cp <path>/<pull_secret_file_in_json> <directory_name>/<auth_file> Where <directory_name> is either ~/.docker or USDXDG_RUNTIME_DIR/containers , and <auth_file> is either config.json or auth.json . Generate the base64-encoded user name and password or token for your mirror registry by running the following command: USD echo -n '<user_name>:<password>' | base64 -w0 1 1 For <user_name> and <password> , specify the user name and password that you configured for your registry. Example output BGVtbYk3ZHAtqXs= Edit the JSON file and add a section that describes your registry to it: "auths": { "<mirror_registry>": { 1 "auth": "<credentials>", 2 "email": "you@example.com" } }, 1 Specify the registry domain name, and optionally the port, that your mirror registry uses to serve content. For example, registry.example.com or registry.example.com:8443 2 Specify the base64-encoded user name and password for the mirror registry. Example modified pull secret { "auths": { "registry.example.com": { "auth": "BGVtbYk3ZHAtqXs=", "email": "you@example.com" }, "cloud.openshift.com": { "auth": "b3BlbnNo...", "email": "you@example.com" }, "quay.io": { "auth": "b3BlbnNo...", "email": "you@example.com" }, "registry.connect.redhat.com": { "auth": "NTE3Njg5Nj...", "email": "you@example.com" }, "registry.redhat.io": { "auth": "NTE3Njg5Nj...", "email": "you@example.com" } } } 6.2.2.3. Mirroring images to a mirror registry Important To avoid excessive memory usage by the OpenShift Update Service application, you must mirror release images to a separate repository as described in the following procedure. Prerequisites You configured a mirror registry to use in your disconnected environment and can access the certificate and credentials that you configured. You downloaded the pull secret from Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager and modified it to include authentication to your mirror repository. If you use self-signed certificates, you have specified a Subject Alternative Name in the certificates. Procedure Use the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform Update Graph visualizer and update planner to plan an update from one version to another. The OpenShift Update Graph provides channel graphs and a way to confirm that there is an update path between your current and intended cluster versions. Set the required environment variables: Export the release version: USD export OCP_RELEASE=<release_version> For <release_version> , specify the tag that corresponds to the version of OpenShift Container Platform to which you want to update, such as 4.5.4 . Export the local registry name and host port: USD LOCAL_REGISTRY='<local_registry_host_name>:<local_registry_host_port>' For <local_registry_host_name> , specify the registry domain name for your mirror repository, and for <local_registry_host_port> , specify the port that it serves content on. Export the local repository name: USD LOCAL_REPOSITORY='<local_repository_name>' For <local_repository_name> , specify the name of the repository to create in your registry, such as ocp4/openshift4 . If you are using the OpenShift Update Service, export an additional local repository name to contain the release images: USD LOCAL_RELEASE_IMAGES_REPOSITORY='<local_release_images_repository_name>' For <local_release_images_repository_name> , specify the name of the repository to create in your registry, such as ocp4/openshift4-release-images . Export the name of the repository to mirror: USD PRODUCT_REPO='openshift-release-dev' For a production release, you must specify openshift-release-dev . Export the path to your registry pull secret: USD LOCAL_SECRET_JSON='<path_to_pull_secret>' For <path_to_pull_secret> , specify the absolute path to and file name of the pull secret for your mirror registry that you created. Note If your cluster uses an ImageContentSourcePolicy object to configure repository mirroring, you can use only global pull secrets for mirrored registries. You cannot add a pull secret to a project. Export the release mirror: USD RELEASE_NAME="ocp-release" For a production release, you must specify ocp-release . Export the type of architecture for your cluster: USD ARCHITECTURE=<cluster_architecture> 1 1 Specify the architecture of the cluster, such as x86_64 , aarch64 , s390x , or ppc64le . Export the path to the directory to host the mirrored images: USD REMOVABLE_MEDIA_PATH=<path> 1 1 Specify the full path, including the initial forward slash (/) character. Review the images and configuration manifests to mirror: USD oc adm release mirror -a USD{LOCAL_SECRET_JSON} --to-dir=USD{REMOVABLE_MEDIA_PATH}/mirror quay.io/USD{PRODUCT_REPO}/USD{RELEASE_NAME}:USD{OCP_RELEASE}-USD{ARCHITECTURE} --dry-run Mirror the version images to the mirror registry. If your mirror host does not have internet access, take the following actions: Connect the removable media to a system that is connected to the internet. Mirror the images and configuration manifests to a directory on the removable media: USD oc adm release mirror -a USD{LOCAL_SECRET_JSON} --to-dir=USD{REMOVABLE_MEDIA_PATH}/mirror quay.io/USD{PRODUCT_REPO}/USD{RELEASE_NAME}:USD{OCP_RELEASE}-USD{ARCHITECTURE} Note This command also generates and saves the mirrored release image signature config map onto the removable media. Take the media to the disconnected environment and upload the images to the local container registry. USD oc image mirror -a USD{LOCAL_SECRET_JSON} --from-dir=USD{REMOVABLE_MEDIA_PATH}/mirror "file://openshift/release:USD{OCP_RELEASE}*" USD{LOCAL_REGISTRY}/USD{LOCAL_REPOSITORY} 1 1 For REMOVABLE_MEDIA_PATH , you must use the same path that you specified when you mirrored the images. Use oc command-line interface (CLI) to log in to the cluster that you are updating. Apply the mirrored release image signature config map to the connected cluster: USD oc apply -f USD{REMOVABLE_MEDIA_PATH}/mirror/config/<image_signature_file> 1 1 For <image_signature_file> , specify the path and name of the file, for example, signature-sha256-81154f5c03294534.yaml . If you are using the OpenShift Update Service, mirror the release image to a separate repository: USD oc image mirror -a USD{LOCAL_SECRET_JSON} USD{LOCAL_REGISTRY}/USD{LOCAL_REPOSITORY}:USD{OCP_RELEASE}-USD{ARCHITECTURE} USD{LOCAL_REGISTRY}/USD{LOCAL_RELEASE_IMAGES_REPOSITORY}:USD{OCP_RELEASE}-USD{ARCHITECTURE} If the local container registry and the cluster are connected to the mirror host, take the following actions: Directly push the release images to the local registry and apply the config map to the cluster by using following command: USD oc adm release mirror -a USD{LOCAL_SECRET_JSON} --from=quay.io/USD{PRODUCT_REPO}/USD{RELEASE_NAME}:USD{OCP_RELEASE}-USD{ARCHITECTURE} \ --to=USD{LOCAL_REGISTRY}/USD{LOCAL_REPOSITORY} --apply-release-image-signature Note If you include the --apply-release-image-signature option, do not create the config map for image signature verification. If you are using the OpenShift Update Service, mirror the release image to a separate repository: USD oc image mirror -a USD{LOCAL_SECRET_JSON} USD{LOCAL_REGISTRY}/USD{LOCAL_REPOSITORY}:USD{OCP_RELEASE}-USD{ARCHITECTURE} USD{LOCAL_REGISTRY}/USD{LOCAL_RELEASE_IMAGES_REPOSITORY}:USD{OCP_RELEASE}-USD{ARCHITECTURE} 6.3. Updating a cluster in a disconnected environment using the OpenShift Update Service To get an update experience similar to connected clusters, you can use the following procedures to install and configure the OpenShift Update Service (OSUS) in a disconnected environment. The following steps outline the high-level workflow on how to update a cluster in a disconnected environment using OSUS: Configure access to a secured registry. Update the global cluster pull secret to access your mirror registry. Install the OSUS Operator. Create a graph data container image for the OpenShift Update Service. Install the OSUS application and configure your clusters to use the OpenShift Update Service in your environment. Perform a supported update procedure from the documentation as you would with a connected cluster. 6.3.1. Using the OpenShift Update Service in a disconnected environment The OpenShift Update Service (OSUS) provides update recommendations to OpenShift Container Platform clusters. Red Hat publicly hosts the OpenShift Update Service, and clusters in a connected environment can connect to the service through public APIs to retrieve update recommendations. However, clusters in a disconnected environment cannot access these public APIs to retrieve update information. To have a similar update experience in a disconnected environment, you can install and configure the OpenShift Update Service so that it is available within the disconnected environment. A single OSUS instance is capable of serving recommendations to thousands of clusters. OSUS can be scaled horizontally to cater to more clusters by changing the replica value. So for most disconnected use cases, one OSUS instance is enough. For example, Red Hat hosts just one OSUS instance for the entire fleet of connected clusters. If you want to keep update recommendations separate in different environments, you can run one OSUS instance for each environment. For example, in a case where you have separate test and stage environments, you might not want a cluster in a stage environment to receive update recommendations to version A if that version has not been tested in the test environment yet. The following sections describe how to install an OSUS instance and configure it to provide update recommendations to a cluster. Additional resources About the OpenShift Update Service Understanding update channels and releases 6.3.2. Prerequisites You must have the oc command-line interface (CLI) tool installed. You must provision a container image registry in your environment with the container images for your update, as described in Mirroring OpenShift Container Platform images . 6.3.3. Configuring access to a secured registry for the OpenShift Update Service If the release images are contained in a registry whose HTTPS X.509 certificate is signed by a custom certificate authority, complete the steps in Configuring additional trust stores for image registry access along with following changes for the update service. The OpenShift Update Service Operator needs the config map key name updateservice-registry in the registry CA cert. Image registry CA config map example for the update service apiVersion: v1 kind: ConfigMap metadata: name: my-registry-ca data: updateservice-registry: | 1 -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- ... -----END CERTIFICATE----- registry-with-port.example.com..5000: | 2 -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- ... -----END CERTIFICATE----- 1 The OpenShift Update Service Operator requires the config map key name updateservice-registry in the registry CA cert. 2 If the registry has the port, such as registry-with-port.example.com:5000 , : should be replaced with .. . 6.3.4. Updating the global cluster pull secret You can update the global pull secret for your cluster by either replacing the current pull secret or appending a new pull secret. The procedure is required when users use a separate registry to store images than the registry used during installation. Prerequisites You have access to the cluster as a user with the cluster-admin role. Procedure Optional: To append a new pull secret to the existing pull secret, complete the following steps: Enter the following command to download the pull secret: USD oc get secret/pull-secret -n openshift-config \ --template='{{index .data ".dockerconfigjson" | base64decode}}' \ ><pull_secret_location> 1 1 Provide the path to the pull secret file. Enter the following command to add the new pull secret: USD oc registry login --registry="<registry>" \ 1 --auth-basic="<username>:<password>" \ 2 --to=<pull_secret_location> 3 1 Provide the new registry. You can include multiple repositories within the same registry, for example: --registry="<registry/my-namespace/my-repository>" . 2 Provide the credentials of the new registry. 3 Provide the path to the pull secret file. Alternatively, you can perform a manual update to the pull secret file. Enter the following command to update the global pull secret for your cluster: USD oc set data secret/pull-secret -n openshift-config \ --from-file=.dockerconfigjson=<pull_secret_location> 1 1 Provide the path to the new pull secret file. This update is rolled out to all nodes, which can take some time depending on the size of your cluster. Note As of OpenShift Container Platform 4.7.4, changes to the global pull secret no longer trigger a node drain or reboot. 6.3.5. Installing the OpenShift Update Service Operator To install the OpenShift Update Service, you must first install the OpenShift Update Service Operator by using the OpenShift Container Platform web console or CLI. Note For clusters that are installed in disconnected environments, also known as disconnected clusters, Operator Lifecycle Manager by default cannot access the Red Hat-provided OperatorHub sources hosted on remote registries because those remote sources require full internet connectivity. For more information, see Using Operator Lifecycle Manager in disconnected environments . 6.3.5.1. Installing the OpenShift Update Service Operator by using the web console You can use the web console to install the OpenShift Update Service Operator. Procedure In the web console, click Operators OperatorHub . Note Enter Update Service into the Filter by keyword... field to find the Operator faster. Choose OpenShift Update Service from the list of available Operators, and click Install . Select an Update channel . Select a Version . Select A specific namespace on the cluster under Installation Mode . Select a namespace for Installed Namespace or accept the recommended namespace openshift-update-service . Select an Update approval strategy: The Automatic strategy allows Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM) to automatically update the Operator when a new version is available. The Manual strategy requires a cluster administrator to approve the Operator update. Click Install . Go to Operators Installed Operators and verify that the OpenShift Update Service Operator is installed. Ensure that OpenShift Update Service is listed in the correct namespace with a Status of Succeeded . 6.3.5.2. Installing the OpenShift Update Service Operator by using the CLI You can use the OpenShift CLI ( oc ) to install the OpenShift Update Service Operator. Procedure Create a namespace for the OpenShift Update Service Operator: Create a Namespace object YAML file, for example, update-service-namespace.yaml , for the OpenShift Update Service Operator: apiVersion: v1 kind: Namespace metadata: name: openshift-update-service annotations: openshift.io/node-selector: "" labels: openshift.io/cluster-monitoring: "true" 1 1 Set the openshift.io/cluster-monitoring label to enable Operator-recommended cluster monitoring on this namespace. Create the namespace: USD oc create -f <filename>.yaml For example: USD oc create -f update-service-namespace.yaml Install the OpenShift Update Service Operator by creating the following objects: Create an OperatorGroup object YAML file, for example, update-service-operator-group.yaml : apiVersion: operators.coreos.com/v1 kind: OperatorGroup metadata: name: update-service-operator-group namespace: openshift-update-service spec: targetNamespaces: - openshift-update-service Create an OperatorGroup object: USD oc -n openshift-update-service create -f <filename>.yaml For example: USD oc -n openshift-update-service create -f update-service-operator-group.yaml Create a Subscription object YAML file, for example, update-service-subscription.yaml : Example Subscription apiVersion: operators.coreos.com/v1alpha1 kind: Subscription metadata: name: update-service-subscription namespace: openshift-update-service spec: channel: v1 installPlanApproval: "Automatic" source: "redhat-operators" 1 sourceNamespace: "openshift-marketplace" name: "cincinnati-operator" 1 Specify the name of the catalog source that provides the Operator. For clusters that do not use a custom Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM), specify redhat-operators . If your OpenShift Container Platform cluster is installed in a disconnected environment, specify the name of the CatalogSource object created when you configured Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM). Create the Subscription object: USD oc create -f <filename>.yaml For example: USD oc -n openshift-update-service create -f update-service-subscription.yaml The OpenShift Update Service Operator is installed to the openshift-update-service namespace and targets the openshift-update-service namespace. Verify the Operator installation: USD oc -n openshift-update-service get clusterserviceversions Example output NAME DISPLAY VERSION REPLACES PHASE update-service-operator.v4.6.0 OpenShift Update Service 4.6.0 Succeeded ... If the OpenShift Update Service Operator is listed, the installation was successful. The version number might be different than shown. Additional resources Installing Operators in your namespace . 6.3.6. Creating the OpenShift Update Service graph data container image The OpenShift Update Service requires a graph data container image, from which the OpenShift Update Service retrieves information about channel membership and blocked update edges. Graph data is typically fetched directly from the update graph data repository. In environments where an internet connection is unavailable, loading this information from an init container is another way to make the graph data available to the OpenShift Update Service. The role of the init container is to provide a local copy of the graph data, and during pod initialization, the init container copies the data to a volume that is accessible by the service. Note The oc-mirror OpenShift CLI ( oc ) plugin creates this graph data container image in addition to mirroring release images. If you used the oc-mirror plugin to mirror your release images, you can skip this procedure. Procedure Create a Dockerfile, for example, ./Dockerfile , containing the following: FROM registry.access.redhat.com/ubi9/ubi:latest RUN curl -L -o cincinnati-graph-data.tar.gz https://api.openshift.com/api/upgrades_info/graph-data RUN mkdir -p /var/lib/cincinnati-graph-data && tar xvzf cincinnati-graph-data.tar.gz -C /var/lib/cincinnati-graph-data/ --no-overwrite-dir --no-same-owner CMD ["/bin/bash", "-c" ,"exec cp -rp /var/lib/cincinnati-graph-data/* /var/lib/cincinnati/graph-data"] Use the docker file created in the above step to build a graph data container image, for example, registry.example.com/openshift/graph-data:latest : USD podman build -f ./Dockerfile -t registry.example.com/openshift/graph-data:latest Push the graph data container image created in the step to a repository that is accessible to the OpenShift Update Service, for example, registry.example.com/openshift/graph-data:latest : USD podman push registry.example.com/openshift/graph-data:latest Note To push a graph data image to a registry in a disconnected environment, copy the graph data container image created in the step to a repository that is accessible to the OpenShift Update Service. Run oc image mirror --help for available options. 6.3.7. Creating an OpenShift Update Service application You can create an OpenShift Update Service application by using the OpenShift Container Platform web console or CLI. 6.3.7.1. Creating an OpenShift Update Service application by using the web console You can use the OpenShift Container Platform web console to create an OpenShift Update Service application by using the OpenShift Update Service Operator. Prerequisites The OpenShift Update Service Operator has been installed. The OpenShift Update Service graph data container image has been created and pushed to a repository that is accessible to the OpenShift Update Service. The current release and update target releases have been mirrored to a registry in the disconnected environment. Procedure In the web console, click Operators Installed Operators . Choose OpenShift Update Service from the list of installed Operators. Click the Update Service tab. Click Create UpdateService . Enter a name in the Name field, for example, service . Enter the local pullspec in the Graph Data Image field to the graph data container image created in "Creating the OpenShift Update Service graph data container image", for example, registry.example.com/openshift/graph-data:latest . In the Releases field, enter the registry and repository created to contain the release images in "Mirroring the OpenShift Container Platform image repository", for example, registry.example.com/ocp4/openshift4-release-images . Enter 2 in the Replicas field. Click Create to create the OpenShift Update Service application. Verify the OpenShift Update Service application: From the UpdateServices list in the Update Service tab, click the Update Service application just created. Click the Resources tab. Verify each application resource has a status of Created . 6.3.7.2. Creating an OpenShift Update Service application by using the CLI You can use the OpenShift CLI ( oc ) to create an OpenShift Update Service application. Prerequisites The OpenShift Update Service Operator has been installed. The OpenShift Update Service graph data container image has been created and pushed to a repository that is accessible to the OpenShift Update Service. The current release and update target releases have been mirrored to a registry in the disconnected environment. Procedure Configure the OpenShift Update Service target namespace, for example, openshift-update-service : USD NAMESPACE=openshift-update-service The namespace must match the targetNamespaces value from the operator group. Configure the name of the OpenShift Update Service application, for example, service : USD NAME=service Configure the registry and repository for the release images as configured in "Mirroring the OpenShift Container Platform image repository", for example, registry.example.com/ocp4/openshift4-release-images : USD RELEASE_IMAGES=registry.example.com/ocp4/openshift4-release-images Set the local pullspec for the graph data image to the graph data container image created in "Creating the OpenShift Update Service graph data container image", for example, registry.example.com/openshift/graph-data:latest : USD GRAPH_DATA_IMAGE=registry.example.com/openshift/graph-data:latest Create an OpenShift Update Service application object: USD oc -n "USD{NAMESPACE}" create -f - <<EOF apiVersion: updateservice.operator.openshift.io/v1 kind: UpdateService metadata: name: USD{NAME} spec: replicas: 2 releases: USD{RELEASE_IMAGES} graphDataImage: USD{GRAPH_DATA_IMAGE} EOF Verify the OpenShift Update Service application: Use the following command to obtain a policy engine route: USD while sleep 1; do POLICY_ENGINE_GRAPH_URI="USD(oc -n "USD{NAMESPACE}" get -o jsonpath='{.status.policyEngineURI}/api/upgrades_info/v1/graph{"\n"}' updateservice "USD{NAME}")"; SCHEME="USD{POLICY_ENGINE_GRAPH_URI%%:*}"; if test "USD{SCHEME}" = http -o "USD{SCHEME}" = https; then break; fi; done You might need to poll until the command succeeds. Retrieve a graph from the policy engine. Be sure to specify a valid version for channel . For example, if running in OpenShift Container Platform 4.18, use stable-4.18 : USD while sleep 10; do HTTP_CODE="USD(curl --header Accept:application/json --output /dev/stderr --write-out "%{http_code}" "USD{POLICY_ENGINE_GRAPH_URI}?channel=stable-4.6")"; if test "USD{HTTP_CODE}" -eq 200; then break; fi; echo "USD{HTTP_CODE}"; done This polls until the graph request succeeds; however, the resulting graph might be empty depending on which release images you have mirrored. Note The policy engine route name must not be more than 63 characters based on RFC-1123. If you see ReconcileCompleted status as false with the reason CreateRouteFailed caused by host must conform to DNS 1123 naming convention and must be no more than 63 characters , try creating the Update Service with a shorter name. 6.3.8. Configuring the Cluster Version Operator (CVO) After the OpenShift Update Service Operator has been installed and the OpenShift Update Service application has been created, the Cluster Version Operator (CVO) can be updated to pull graph data from the OpenShift Update Service installed in your environment. Prerequisites The OpenShift Update Service Operator has been installed. The OpenShift Update Service graph data container image has been created and pushed to a repository that is accessible to the OpenShift Update Service. The current release and update target releases have been mirrored to a registry in the disconnected environment. The OpenShift Update Service application has been created. Procedure Set the OpenShift Update Service target namespace, for example, openshift-update-service : USD NAMESPACE=openshift-update-service Set the name of the OpenShift Update Service application, for example, service : USD NAME=service Obtain the policy engine route: USD POLICY_ENGINE_GRAPH_URI="USD(oc -n "USD{NAMESPACE}" get -o jsonpath='{.status.policyEngineURI}/api/upgrades_info/v1/graph{"\n"}' updateservice "USD{NAME}")" Set the patch for the pull graph data: USD PATCH="{\"spec\":{\"upstream\":\"USD{POLICY_ENGINE_GRAPH_URI}\"}}" Patch the CVO to use the OpenShift Update Service in your environment: USD oc patch clusterversion version -p USDPATCH --type merge Note See Configuring the cluster-wide proxy to configure the CA to trust the update server. 6.3.9. steps Before updating your cluster, confirm that the following conditions are met: The Cluster Version Operator (CVO) is configured to use your installed OpenShift Update Service application. The release image signature config map for the new release is applied to your cluster. Note The Cluster Version Operator (CVO) uses release image signatures to ensure that release images have not been modified, by verifying that the release image signatures match the expected result. The current release and update target release images are mirrored to a registry in the disconnected environment. A recent graph data container image has been mirrored to your registry. A recent version of the OpenShift Update Service Operator is installed. Note If you have not recently installed or updated the OpenShift Update Service Operator, there might be a more recent version available. See Using Operator Lifecycle Manager in disconnected environments for more information about how to update your OLM catalog in a disconnected environment. After you configure your cluster to use the installed OpenShift Update Service and local mirror registry, you can use any of the following update methods: Updating a cluster using the web console Updating a cluster using the CLI Performing a Control Plane Only update Performing a canary rollout update Updating a cluster that includes RHEL compute machines 6.4. Updating a cluster in a disconnected environment without the OpenShift Update Service Use the following procedures to update a cluster in a disconnected environment without access to the OpenShift Update Service. 6.4.1. Prerequisites You must have the oc command-line interface (CLI) tool installed. You must provision a local container image registry with the container images for your update, as described in Mirroring OpenShift Container Platform images . You must have access to the cluster as a user with admin privileges. See Using RBAC to define and apply permissions . You must have a recent etcd backup in case your update fails and you must restore your cluster to a state . You have updated all Operators previously installed through Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM) to a version that is compatible with your target release. Updating the Operators ensures they have a valid update path when the default OperatorHub catalogs switch from the current minor version to the during a cluster update. See Updating installed Operators for more information on how to check compatibility and, if necessary, update the installed Operators. You must ensure that all machine config pools (MCPs) are running and not paused. Nodes associated with a paused MCP are skipped during the update process. You can pause the MCPs if you are performing a canary rollout update strategy. If your cluster uses manually maintained credentials, update the cloud provider resources for the new release. For more information, including how to determine if this is a requirement for your cluster, see Preparing to update a cluster with manually maintained credentials . If you run an Operator or you have configured any application with the pod disruption budget, you might experience an interruption during the update process. If minAvailable is set to 1 in PodDisruptionBudget , the nodes are drained to apply pending machine configs which might block the eviction process. If several nodes are rebooted, all the pods might run on only one node, and the PodDisruptionBudget field can prevent the node drain. Note If you run an Operator or you have configured any application with the pod disruption budget, you might experience an interruption during the update process. If minAvailable is set to 1 in PodDisruptionBudget , the nodes are drained to apply pending machine configs which might block the eviction process. If several nodes are rebooted, all the pods might run on only one node, and the PodDisruptionBudget field can prevent the node drain. 6.4.2. Pausing a MachineHealthCheck resource During the update process, nodes in the cluster might become temporarily unavailable. In the case of worker nodes, the machine health check might identify such nodes as unhealthy and reboot them. To avoid rebooting such nodes, pause all the MachineHealthCheck resources before updating the cluster. Prerequisites Install the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). Procedure To list all the available MachineHealthCheck resources that you want to pause, run the following command: USD oc get machinehealthcheck -n openshift-machine-api To pause the machine health checks, add the cluster.x-k8s.io/paused="" annotation to the MachineHealthCheck resource. Run the following command: USD oc -n openshift-machine-api annotate mhc <mhc-name> cluster.x-k8s.io/paused="" The annotated MachineHealthCheck resource resembles the following YAML file: apiVersion: machine.openshift.io/v1beta1 kind: MachineHealthCheck metadata: name: example namespace: openshift-machine-api annotations: cluster.x-k8s.io/paused: "" spec: selector: matchLabels: role: worker unhealthyConditions: - type: "Ready" status: "Unknown" timeout: "300s" - type: "Ready" status: "False" timeout: "300s" maxUnhealthy: "40%" status: currentHealthy: 5 expectedMachines: 5 Important Resume the machine health checks after updating the cluster. To resume the check, remove the pause annotation from the MachineHealthCheck resource by running the following command: USD oc -n openshift-machine-api annotate mhc <mhc-name> cluster.x-k8s.io/paused- 6.4.3. Retrieving a release image digest In order to update a cluster in a disconnected environment using the oc adm upgrade command with the --to-image option, you must reference the sha256 digest that corresponds to your targeted release image. Procedure Run the following command on a device that is connected to the internet: USD oc adm release info -o 'jsonpath={.digest}{"\n"}' quay.io/openshift-release-dev/ocp-release:USD{OCP_RELEASE_VERSION}-USD{ARCHITECTURE} For {OCP_RELEASE_VERSION} , specify the version of OpenShift Container Platform to which you want to update, such as 4.10.16 . For {ARCHITECTURE} , specify the architecture of the cluster, such as x86_64 , aarch64 , s390x , or ppc64le . Example output sha256:a8bfba3b6dddd1a2fbbead7dac65fe4fb8335089e4e7cae327f3bad334add31d Copy the sha256 digest for use when updating your cluster. 6.4.4. Updating the disconnected cluster Update the disconnected cluster to the OpenShift Container Platform version that you downloaded the release images for. Note If you have a local OpenShift Update Service, you can update by using the connected web console or CLI instructions instead of this procedure. Prerequisites You mirrored the images for the new release to your registry. You applied the release image signature ConfigMap for the new release to your cluster. Note The release image signature config map allows the Cluster Version Operator (CVO) to ensure the integrity of release images by verifying that the actual image signatures match the expected signatures. You obtained the sha256 digest for your targeted release image. You installed the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). You paused all MachineHealthCheck resources. Procedure Update the cluster: USD oc adm upgrade --allow-explicit-upgrade --to-image <defined_registry>/<defined_repository>@<digest> Where: <defined_registry> Specifies the name of the mirror registry you mirrored your images to. <defined_repository> Specifies the name of the image repository you want to use on the mirror registry. <digest> Specifies the sha256 digest for the targeted release image, for example, sha256:81154f5c03294534e1eaf0319bef7a601134f891689ccede5d705ef659aa8c92 . Note See "Mirroring OpenShift Container Platform images" to review how your mirror registry and repository names are defined. If you used an ImageContentSourcePolicy or ImageDigestMirrorSet , you can use the canonical registry and repository names instead of the names you defined. The canonical registry name is quay.io and the canonical repository name is openshift-release-dev/ocp-release . You can only configure global pull secrets for clusters that have an ImageContentSourcePolicy , ImageDigestMirrorSet , or ImageTagMirrorSet object. You cannot add a pull secret to a project. Additional resources Mirroring OpenShift Container Platform images 6.4.5. Understanding image registry repository mirroring Setting up container registry repository mirroring enables you to perform the following tasks: Configure your OpenShift Container Platform cluster to redirect requests to pull images from a repository on a source image registry and have it resolved by a repository on a mirrored image registry. Identify multiple mirrored repositories for each target repository, to make sure that if one mirror is down, another can be used. Repository mirroring in OpenShift Container Platform includes the following attributes: Image pulls are resilient to registry downtimes. Clusters in disconnected environments can pull images from critical locations, such as quay.io, and have registries behind a company firewall provide the requested images. A particular order of registries is tried when an image pull request is made, with the permanent registry typically being the last one tried. The mirror information you enter is added to the /etc/containers/registries.conf file on every node in the OpenShift Container Platform cluster. When a node makes a request for an image from the source repository, it tries each mirrored repository in turn until it finds the requested content. If all mirrors fail, the cluster tries the source repository. If successful, the image is pulled to the node. Setting up repository mirroring can be done in the following ways: At OpenShift Container Platform installation: By pulling container images needed by OpenShift Container Platform and then bringing those images behind your company's firewall, you can install OpenShift Container Platform into a data center that is in a disconnected environment. After OpenShift Container Platform installation: If you did not configure mirroring during OpenShift Container Platform installation, you can do so postinstallation by using any of the following custom resource (CR) objects: ImageDigestMirrorSet (IDMS). This object allows you to pull images from a mirrored registry by using digest specifications. The IDMS CR enables you to set a fall back policy that allows or stops continued attempts to pull from the source registry if the image pull fails. ImageTagMirrorSet (ITMS). This object allows you to pull images from a mirrored registry by using image tags. The ITMS CR enables you to set a fall back policy that allows or stops continued attempts to pull from the source registry if the image pull fails. ImageContentSourcePolicy (ICSP). This object allows you to pull images from a mirrored registry by using digest specifications. The ICSP CR always falls back to the source registry if the mirrors do not work. Important Using an ImageContentSourcePolicy (ICSP) object to configure repository mirroring is a deprecated feature. Deprecated functionality is still included in OpenShift Container Platform and continues to be supported; however, it will be removed in a future release of this product and is not recommended for new deployments. If you have existing YAML files that you used to create ImageContentSourcePolicy objects, you can use the oc adm migrate icsp command to convert those files to an ImageDigestMirrorSet YAML file. For more information, see "Converting ImageContentSourcePolicy (ICSP) files for image registry repository mirroring" in the following section. Each of these custom resource objects identify the following information: The source of the container image repository you want to mirror. A separate entry for each mirror repository you want to offer the content requested from the source repository. For new clusters, you can use IDMS, ITMS, and ICSP CRs objects as desired. However, using IDMS and ITMS is recommended. If you upgraded a cluster, any existing ICSP objects remain stable, and both IDMS and ICSP objects are supported. Workloads using ICSP objects continue to function as expected. However, if you want to take advantage of the fallback policies introduced in the IDMS CRs, you can migrate current workloads to IDMS objects by using the oc adm migrate icsp command as shown in the Converting ImageContentSourcePolicy (ICSP) files for image registry repository mirroring section that follows. Migrating to IDMS objects does not require a cluster reboot. Note If your cluster uses an ImageDigestMirrorSet , ImageTagMirrorSet , or ImageContentSourcePolicy object to configure repository mirroring, you can use only global pull secrets for mirrored registries. You cannot add a pull secret to a project. 6.4.5.1. Configuring image registry repository mirroring You can create postinstallation mirror configuration custom resources (CR) to redirect image pull requests from a source image registry to a mirrored image registry. Prerequisites Access to the cluster as a user with the cluster-admin role. Procedure Configure mirrored repositories, by either: Setting up a mirrored repository with Red Hat Quay, as described in Red Hat Quay Repository Mirroring . Using Red Hat Quay allows you to copy images from one repository to another and also automatically sync those repositories repeatedly over time. Using a tool such as skopeo to copy images manually from the source repository to the mirrored repository. For example, after installing the skopeo RPM package on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7 or RHEL 8 system, use the skopeo command as shown in this example: USD skopeo copy --all \ docker://registry.access.redhat.com/ubi9/ubi-minimal:latest@sha256:5cf... \ docker://example.io/example/ubi-minimal In this example, you have a container image registry that is named example.io with an image repository named example to which you want to copy the ubi9/ubi-minimal image from registry.access.redhat.com . After you create the mirrored registry, you can configure your OpenShift Container Platform cluster to redirect requests made of the source repository to the mirrored repository. Create a postinstallation mirror configuration CR, by using one of the following examples: Create an ImageDigestMirrorSet or ImageTagMirrorSet CR, as needed, replacing the source and mirrors with your own registry and repository pairs and images: apiVersion: config.openshift.io/v1 1 kind: ImageDigestMirrorSet 2 metadata: name: ubi9repo spec: imageDigestMirrors: 3 - mirrors: - example.io/example/ubi-minimal 4 - example.com/example/ubi-minimal 5 source: registry.access.redhat.com/ubi9/ubi-minimal 6 mirrorSourcePolicy: AllowContactingSource 7 - mirrors: - mirror.example.com/redhat source: registry.example.com/redhat 8 mirrorSourcePolicy: AllowContactingSource - mirrors: - mirror.example.com source: registry.example.com 9 mirrorSourcePolicy: AllowContactingSource - mirrors: - mirror.example.net/image source: registry.example.com/example/myimage 10 mirrorSourcePolicy: AllowContactingSource - mirrors: - mirror.example.net source: registry.example.com/example 11 mirrorSourcePolicy: AllowContactingSource - mirrors: - mirror.example.net/registry-example-com source: registry.example.com 12 mirrorSourcePolicy: AllowContactingSource 1 Indicates the API to use with this CR. This must be config.openshift.io/v1 . 2 Indicates the kind of object according to the pull type: ImageDigestMirrorSet : Pulls a digest reference image. ImageTagMirrorSet : Pulls a tag reference image. 3 Indicates the type of image pull method, either: imageDigestMirrors : Use for an ImageDigestMirrorSet CR. imageTagMirrors : Use for an ImageTagMirrorSet CR. 4 Indicates the name of the mirrored image registry and repository. 5 Optional: Indicates a secondary mirror repository for each target repository. If one mirror is down, the target repository can use the secondary mirror. 6 Indicates the registry and repository source, which is the repository that is referred to in an image pull specification. 7 Optional: Indicates the fallback policy if the image pull fails: AllowContactingSource : Allows continued attempts to pull the image from the source repository. This is the default. NeverContactSource : Prevents continued attempts to pull the image from the source repository. 8 Optional: Indicates a namespace inside a registry, which allows you to use any image in that namespace. If you use a registry domain as a source, the object is applied to all repositories from the registry. 9 Optional: Indicates a registry, which allows you to use any image in that registry. If you specify a registry name, the object is applied to all repositories from a source registry to a mirror registry. 10 Pulls the image registry.example.com/example/myimage@sha256:... from the mirror mirror.example.net/image@sha256:.. . 11 Pulls the image registry.example.com/example/image@sha256:... in the source registry namespace from the mirror mirror.example.net/image@sha256:... . 12 Pulls the image registry.example.com/myimage@sha256 from the mirror registry example.net/registry-example-com/myimage@sha256:... . Create an ImageContentSourcePolicy custom resource, replacing the source and mirrors with your own registry and repository pairs and images: apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1alpha1 kind: ImageContentSourcePolicy metadata: name: mirror-ocp spec: repositoryDigestMirrors: - mirrors: - mirror.registry.com:443/ocp/release 1 source: quay.io/openshift-release-dev/ocp-release 2 - mirrors: - mirror.registry.com:443/ocp/release source: quay.io/openshift-release-dev/ocp-v4.0-art-dev 1 Specifies the name of the mirror image registry and repository. 2 Specifies the online registry and repository containing the content that is mirrored. Create the new object: USD oc create -f registryrepomirror.yaml After the object is created, the Machine Config Operator (MCO) drains the nodes for ImageTagMirrorSet objects only. The MCO does not drain the nodes for ImageDigestMirrorSet and ImageContentSourcePolicy objects. To check that the mirrored configuration settings are applied, do the following on one of the nodes. List your nodes: USD oc get node Example output NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION ip-10-0-137-44.ec2.internal Ready worker 7m v1.31.3 ip-10-0-138-148.ec2.internal Ready master 11m v1.31.3 ip-10-0-139-122.ec2.internal Ready master 11m v1.31.3 ip-10-0-147-35.ec2.internal Ready worker 7m v1.31.3 ip-10-0-153-12.ec2.internal Ready worker 7m v1.31.3 ip-10-0-154-10.ec2.internal Ready master 11m v1.31.3 Start the debugging process to access the node: USD oc debug node/ip-10-0-147-35.ec2.internal Example output Starting pod/ip-10-0-147-35ec2internal-debug ... To use host binaries, run `chroot /host` Change your root directory to /host : sh-4.2# chroot /host Check the /etc/containers/registries.conf file to make sure the changes were made: sh-4.2# cat /etc/containers/registries.conf The following output represents a registries.conf file where postinstallation mirror configuration CRs were applied. The final two entries are marked digest-only and tag-only respectively. Example output unqualified-search-registries = ["registry.access.redhat.com", "docker.io"] short-name-mode = "" [[registry]] prefix = "" location = "registry.access.redhat.com/ubi9/ubi-minimal" 1 [[registry.mirror]] location = "example.io/example/ubi-minimal" 2 pull-from-mirror = "digest-only" 3 [[registry.mirror]] location = "example.com/example/ubi-minimal" pull-from-mirror = "digest-only" [[registry]] prefix = "" location = "registry.example.com" [[registry.mirror]] location = "mirror.example.net/registry-example-com" pull-from-mirror = "digest-only" [[registry]] prefix = "" location = "registry.example.com/example" [[registry.mirror]] location = "mirror.example.net" pull-from-mirror = "digest-only" [[registry]] prefix = "" location = "registry.example.com/example/myimage" [[registry.mirror]] location = "mirror.example.net/image" pull-from-mirror = "digest-only" [[registry]] prefix = "" location = "registry.example.com" [[registry.mirror]] location = "mirror.example.com" pull-from-mirror = "digest-only" [[registry]] prefix = "" location = "registry.example.com/redhat" [[registry.mirror]] location = "mirror.example.com/redhat" pull-from-mirror = "digest-only" [[registry]] prefix = "" location = "registry.access.redhat.com/ubi9/ubi-minimal" blocked = true 4 [[registry.mirror]] location = "example.io/example/ubi-minimal-tag" pull-from-mirror = "tag-only" 5 1 Indicates the repository that is referred to in a pull spec. 2 Indicates the mirror for that repository. 3 Indicates that the image pull from the mirror is a digest reference image. 4 Indicates that the NeverContactSource parameter is set for this repository. 5 Indicates that the image pull from the mirror is a tag reference image. Pull an image to the node from the source and check if it is resolved by the mirror. sh-4.2# podman pull --log-level=debug registry.access.redhat.com/ubi9/ubi-minimal@sha256:5cf... Troubleshooting repository mirroring If the repository mirroring procedure does not work as described, use the following information about how repository mirroring works to help troubleshoot the problem. The first working mirror is used to supply the pulled image. The main registry is only used if no other mirror works. From the system context, the Insecure flags are used as fallback. The format of the /etc/containers/registries.conf file has changed recently. It is now version 2 and in TOML format. 6.4.5.2. Converting ImageContentSourcePolicy (ICSP) files for image registry repository mirroring Using an ImageContentSourcePolicy (ICSP) object to configure repository mirroring is a deprecated feature. This functionality is still included in OpenShift Container Platform and continues to be supported; however, it will be removed in a future release of this product and is not recommended for new deployments. ICSP objects are being replaced by ImageDigestMirrorSet and ImageTagMirrorSet objects to configure repository mirroring. If you have existing YAML files that you used to create ImageContentSourcePolicy objects, you can use the oc adm migrate icsp command to convert those files to an ImageDigestMirrorSet YAML file. The command updates the API to the current version, changes the kind value to ImageDigestMirrorSet , and changes spec.repositoryDigestMirrors to spec.imageDigestMirrors . The rest of the file is not changed. Because the migration does not change the registries.conf file, the cluster does not need to reboot. For more information about ImageDigestMirrorSet or ImageTagMirrorSet objects, see "Configuring image registry repository mirroring" in the section. Prerequisites Access to the cluster as a user with the cluster-admin role. Ensure that you have ImageContentSourcePolicy objects on your cluster. Procedure Use the following command to convert one or more ImageContentSourcePolicy YAML files to an ImageDigestMirrorSet YAML file: USD oc adm migrate icsp <file_name>.yaml <file_name>.yaml <file_name>.yaml --dest-dir <path_to_the_directory> where: <file_name> Specifies the name of the source ImageContentSourcePolicy YAML. You can list multiple file names. --dest-dir Optional: Specifies a directory for the output ImageDigestMirrorSet YAML. If unset, the file is written to the current directory. For example, the following command converts the icsp.yaml and icsp-2.yaml file and saves the new YAML files to the idms-files directory. USD oc adm migrate icsp icsp.yaml icsp-2.yaml --dest-dir idms-files Example output wrote ImageDigestMirrorSet to idms-files/imagedigestmirrorset_ubi8repo.5911620242173376087.yaml wrote ImageDigestMirrorSet to idms-files/imagedigestmirrorset_ubi9repo.6456931852378115011.yaml Create the CR object by running the following command: USD oc create -f <path_to_the_directory>/<file-name>.yaml where: <path_to_the_directory> Specifies the path to the directory, if you used the --dest-dir flag. <file_name> Specifies the name of the ImageDigestMirrorSet YAML. Remove the ICSP objects after the IDMS objects are rolled out. 6.4.6. Widening the scope of the mirror image catalog to reduce the frequency of cluster node reboots You can scope the mirrored image catalog at the repository level or the wider registry level. A widely scoped ImageContentSourcePolicy resource reduces the number of times the nodes need to reboot in response to changes to the resource. To widen the scope of the mirror image catalog in the ImageContentSourcePolicy resource, perform the following procedure. Prerequisites Install the OpenShift Container Platform CLI oc . Log in as a user with cluster-admin privileges. Configure a mirrored image catalog for use in your disconnected cluster. Procedure Run the following command, specifying values for <local_registry> , <pull_spec> , and <pull_secret_file> : USD oc adm catalog mirror <local_registry>/<pull_spec> <local_registry> -a <pull_secret_file> --icsp-scope=registry where: <local_registry> is the local registry you have configured for your disconnected cluster, for example, local.registry:5000 . <pull_spec> is the pull specification as configured in your disconnected registry, for example, redhat/redhat-operator-index:v4.18 <pull_secret_file> is the registry.redhat.io pull secret in .json file format. You can download the pull secret from Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager . The oc adm catalog mirror command creates a /redhat-operator-index-manifests directory and generates imageContentSourcePolicy.yaml , catalogSource.yaml , and mapping.txt files. Apply the new ImageContentSourcePolicy resource to the cluster: USD oc apply -f imageContentSourcePolicy.yaml Verification Verify that oc apply successfully applied the change to ImageContentSourcePolicy : USD oc get ImageContentSourcePolicy -o yaml Example output apiVersion: v1 items: - apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1alpha1 kind: ImageContentSourcePolicy metadata: annotations: kubectl.kubernetes.io/last-applied-configuration: | {"apiVersion":"operator.openshift.io/v1alpha1","kind":"ImageContentSourcePolicy","metadata":{"annotations":{},"name":"redhat-operator-index"},"spec":{"repositoryDigestMirrors":[{"mirrors":["local.registry:5000"],"source":"registry.redhat.io"}]}} ... After you update the ImageContentSourcePolicy resource, OpenShift Container Platform deploys the new settings to each node and the cluster starts using the mirrored repository for requests to the source repository. 6.4.7.
