Chapter 15. Updating OpenShift Container Storage 15.1. Overview of the OpenShift Container Storage update process You can upgrade Red Hat OpenShift Container Storage and its components, either between minor releases like 4.7 and 4.8, or between batch updates like 4.8.0 and 4.8.1. You need to upgrade the different parts of OpenShift Container Storage in a specific order. Update OpenShift Container Platform according to the Updating clusters documentation for OpenShift Container Platform. Update OpenShift Container Storage. To prepare a disconnected environment for updates , see Operators guide to using Operator Lifecycle Manager on restricted networks to be able to update Openshift Container Storage as well as Local Storage Operator when in use. Update the OpenShift Container Storage operator , using the appropriate process for your setup: Update OpenShift Container Storage in internal mode Update considerations Review the following important considerations before you begin. Red Hat recommends using the same version of Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform with Red Hat OpenShift Container Storage. See the Interoperability Matrix for more information about supported combinations of OpenShift Container Platform and OpenShift Container Storage. The Local Storage Operator is fully supported only when the Local Storage Operator version matches the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform version. 15.2. Preparing to update in a disconnected environment When your Red Hat OpenShift Container Storage environment is not directly connected to the internet, some additional configuration is required to provide the Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM) with alternatives to the default Operator Hub and image registries. See the OpenShift Container Platform documentation for more general information: Updating an Operator catalog image . To configure your cluster for disconnected update: Configure authentication for an alternative registry . Build and mirror the Red Hat operator catalog . Creating Operator imageContentSourcePolicy Updating redhat-operator catalogsource When these steps are complete, Continue with update as usual. 15.2.1. Adding mirror registry authentication details Prerequisites Verify that your existing disconnected cluster uses OpenShift Container Platform 4.3 or higher. Verify that you have an oc client version of 4.4 or higher. Prepare a mirror host with a mirror registry. See Preparing your mirror host for details. Procedure Log in to the OpenShift Container Platform cluster using the cluster-admin role. Locate your auth.json file. This file is generated when you use podman or docker to log in to a registry. It is located in one of the following locations: ~/.docker/auth.json /run/user/<UID>/containers/auth.json /var/run/containers/<UID>/auth.json Obtain your unique Red Hat registry pull secret and paste it into your auth.json file. It will look something like this. Export environment variables with the appropriate details for your setup. Use podman to log in to the mirror registry and store the credentials in the USD{AUTH_FILE} . This adds the mirror registry to the auth.json file. 15.2.2. Building and mirroring the Red Hat operator catalog Follow this process on a host that has access to Red Hat registries to create a mirror of those registries. Prerequisites Run these commands as a cluster administrator. Be aware that mirroring the redhat-operator catalog can take hours to complete, and requires substantial available disk space on the mirror host. Procedure Build the catalog for redhat-operators . Set --from to the ose-operator-registry base image using the tag that matches the target OpenShift Container Platform cluster major and minor version. Note For IBM Power Systems and IBM Z infrastructure specify value of filter-by-os as linux/ppc64le , and linux/s390x respectively. Mirror the catalog for redhat-operators . This is a long operation and can take 1-5 hours. Make sure there is 100 GB available disk space on the mirror host. 15.2.3. Creating Operator imageContentSourcePolicy After the oc adm catalog mirror command is completed, the imageContentSourcePolicy.yaml file gets created. The output directory for this file is usually, ./[catalog image name]-manifests) . Use this procedure to add any missing entries to the .yaml file and apply them to cluster. Procedure Check the content of this file for the mirrors mapping shown as follows: Add any missing entries to the end of the imageContentSourcePolicy.yaml file. Apply the imageContentSourcePolicy.yaml file to the cluster. Once the Image Content Source Policy is updated, all the nodes (master, infra, and workers) in the cluster need to be updated and rebooted. This process is automatically handled through the Machine Config Pool operator and take up to 30 minutes although the exact elapsed time might vary based on the number of nodes in your OpenShift cluster. You can monitor the update process by using the oc get mcp command or the oc get node command. 15.2.4. Updating redhat-operator CatalogSource Procedure Recreate a CatalogSource object that references the catalog image for Red Hat operators. Note Make sure you have mirrored the correct catalog source with the correct version (that is, v2 ). Save the following in a redhat-operator-catalogsource.yaml file, remembering to replace <your_registry> with your mirror registry URL: Create a catalogsource using the redhat-operator-catalogsource.yaml file: Verify that the new redhat-operator pod is running. 15.2.5. Continue to update After your alternative catalog source is configured, you can continue to the appropriate update process: Updating OpenShift Container Storage in internal mode 15.3. Updating OpenShift Container Storage in internal mode Use the following procedures to update your OpenShift Container Storage cluster deployed in internal mode. 15.3.1. Enabling automatic updates for OpenShift Container Storage operator in internal mode Use this procedure to enable automatic update approval for updating OpenShift Container Storage operator in OpenShift Container Platform. Prerequisites Under Block and File in the Status card, confirm that the Storage Cluster and Data Resiliency has a green tick mark. Under Object in the Status card, confirm that both Object Service and Data Resiliency are in Ready state (green tick). Update the OpenShift Container Platform cluster to the latest stable release of version 4.8.X, see Updating Clusters . Switch the Red Hat OpenShift Container Storage channel from stable-4.7 to stable-4.8 . For details about channels, see OpenShift Container Storage upgrade channels and releases . Note You are required to switch channels only when you are updating minor versions (for example, updating from 4.7 to 4.8) and not when updating between batch updates of 4.8 (for example, updating from 4.8.0 to 4.8.1). Ensure that all OpenShift Container Storage Pods, including the operator pods, are in Running state in the openshift-storage namespace . To view the state of the pods, click Workloads Pods from the left pane of the OpenShift Web Console. Select openshift-storage from the Project drop down list. Ensure that you have sufficient time to complete the Openshift Container Storage update process, as the update time varies depending on the number of OSDs that run in the cluster. Procedure Log in to OpenShift Web Console. Click Operators Installed Operators Select the openshift-storage project. Click the OpenShift Container Storage operator name. Click the Subscription tab and click the link under Approval . Select Automatic (default) and click Save . Perform one of the following depending on the Upgrade Status : Upgrade Status shows requires approval . Note Upgrade status shows requires approval if the new OpenShift Container Storage version is already detected in the channel, and approval strategy was changed from Manual to Automatic at the time of update. Click on the Install Plan link. On the InstallPlan Details page, click Preview Install Plan . Review the install plan and click Approve . Wait for the Status to change from Unknown to Created . Click Operators Installed Operators Select the openshift-storage project. Wait for the Status to change to Up to date Upgrade Status does not show requires approval : Wait for the update to initiate. This may take up to 20 minutes. Click Operators Installed Operators Select the openshift-storage project. Wait for the Status to change to Up to date Verification steps On the OpenShift Web Console, navigate to Storage Overview Object tab. In the Status card, verify that both Object Service and Data Resiliency are in Ready state (green tick). On the OpenShift Web Console, navigate to Storage Overview Block and File tab. In the Status card, verify that the Storage Cluster and Data Resiliency has a green tick mark. Click Operators Installed Operators OpenShift Container Storage Operator . Under Storage Cluster , verify that the cluster service status is Ready . Note Once updated from OpenShift Container Storage version 4.7 to 4.8, the Version field here will still display 4.7. This is because the ocs-operator does not update the string represented in this field. Ensure that all OpenShift Container Storage Pods, including the operator pods, are in Running state in the openshift-storage namespace . To view the state of the pods, click Workloads Pods . Select openshift-storage from the Project drop down list. If verification steps fail, contact Red Hat Support . Note The flexible scaling feature is available only in the new deployments of Red Hat OpenShift Container Storage 4.7. Storage clusters upgraded to the 4.7 version do not support flexible scaling. Additional Resources If you face any issues while updating OpenShift Container Storage, see the Commonly required logs for troubleshooting section in the Troubleshooting guide . 15.3.2. Manually updating OpenShift Container Storage operator in internal mode Use this procedure to update OpenShift Container Storage operator by providing manual approval to the install plan. Prerequisites Under Block and File in the Status card, confirm that the Storage Cluster and Data Resiliency has a green tick mark. Under Object in the Status card, confirm that both Object Service and Data Resiliency are in Ready state (green tick). Update the OpenShift Container Platform cluster to the latest stable release of version 4.8.X, see Updating Clusters . Switch the Red Hat OpenShift Container Storage channel from stable-4.7 to stable-4.8 . For details about channels, see OpenShift Container Storage upgrade channels and releases .
