Chapter 3. Manually upgrading using the roxctl CLI
You can upgrade to the latest version of Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes (RHACS) from a supported older version.
You need to perform the manual upgrade procedure only if you used the roxctl CLI to deploy RHACS.
To upgrade RHACS to the latest version, you must perform the following:
-
Set the
ROX_SCANNER_DB_INITenvironment variable - Backup the Central database
- Upgrade Central
-
Upgrade the
roxctlCLI - Upgrade Scanner
- Verify that all secured clusters are upgraded
3.1. Set up the ROX_SCANNER_DB_INIT environment variable Copy linkLink copied to clipboard!
ScannerDB’s initContainer requires a new environment variable called ROX_SCANNER_DB_INIT. You must set its value to true before you upgrade.
Procedure
For OpenShift Container Platform, run the following command:
oc -n stackrox set env deploy/scanner-db -c init-db ROX_SCANNER_DB_INIT=true
$ oc -n stackrox set env deploy/scanner-db -c init-db ROX_SCANNER_DB_INIT=trueCopy to Clipboard Copied! Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow For Kubernetes, run the following command:
kubectl -n stackrox set env deploy/scanner-db -c init-db ROX_SCANNER_DB_INIT=true
$ kubectl -n stackrox set env deploy/scanner-db -c init-db ROX_SCANNER_DB_INIT=trueCopy to Clipboard Copied! Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow
3.2. Backing up the Central database Copy linkLink copied to clipboard!
You can back up the Central database and use that backup for rolling back from a failed upgrade or data restoration in the case of an infrastructure disaster.
Prerequisites
-
You must have an API token with
readpermission for all resources of Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes. The Analyst system role hasreadpermissions for all resources. -
You have installed the
roxctlCLI. -
You have configured the
ROX_API_TOKENand theROX_CENTRAL_ADDRESSenvironment variables.
Procedure
Run the backup command:
For Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes 3.0.55 and newer:
roxctl -e "$ROX_CENTRAL_ADDRESS" central backup
$ roxctl -e "$ROX_CENTRAL_ADDRESS" central backupCopy to Clipboard Copied! Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow For Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes 3.0.54 and older:

3.3. Upgrading the Central cluster Copy linkLink copied to clipboard!
After you have backed up the Central database, the next step is to upgrade the Central cluster. This step includes upgrading Central, the roxctl CLI, and the Scanner.
3.3.1. Upgrading Central Copy linkLink copied to clipboard!
You can update Central to the latest version by downloading and deploying the updated images.

3.3.3.1. Upgrading to RHACS version 3.71 Copy linkLink copied to clipboard!
If you are upgrading to RHACS 3.71 using the roxctl CLI and YAML files, you need to perform some additional steps. The Scanner DB image no longer mounts the scanner-db-password Kubernetes Secret into the db Scanner DB container. Instead, scanner-db-password is only used in the init container, init-db. Therefore, you must add the POSTGRES_PASSWORD_FILE environment variable to the init container configuration. The init container must also mount the scanner-db-tls-volume and scanner-db-password volumes. The following section provides the upgrade steps for RHACS if you are using OpenShift Container Platform or Kubernetes. For more information about init containers, see the Kubernetes documentation.
Prerequisites
-
This procedure assumes the
dbcontainer in the Scanner DB configuration is atindex 0, which is the first entry in thecontainerslist; and thescanner-db-passwordvolume mount is atindex 2, which is the third entry.
While this scenario applies to most deployments, check the configuration for Scanner DB before entering these commands. If your values differ, you must adjust the …/containers/x/volumeMounts/y value in the following commands.
Procedure
Apply the patch:
If you use OpenShift Container Platform, enter the following command:
oc -n stackrox patch deployment.apps/scanner-db --patch '{"spec":{"template":{"spec":{"initContainers":[{"name":"init-db","env":[{"name":"POSTGRES_PASSWORD_FILE","value":"/run/secrets/stackrox.io/secrets/password"}],"command":["/usr/local/bin/docker-entrypoint.sh","postgres","-c","config_file=/etc/postgresql.conf"],"volumeMounts":[{"name":"db-data","mountPath":"/var/lib/postgresql/data"},{"name":"scanner-db-tls-volume","mountPath":"/run/secrets/stackrox.io/certs","readOnly":true},{"name":"scanner-db-password","mountPath":"/run/secrets/stackrox.io/secrets","readOnly":true}],"securityContext":{"runAsGroup":70,"runAsNonRoot":true,"runAsUser":70}}]}}}}'$ oc -n stackrox patch deployment.apps/scanner-db --patch '{"spec":{"template":{"spec":{"initContainers":[{"name":"init-db","env":[{"name":"POSTGRES_PASSWORD_FILE","value":"/run/secrets/stackrox.io/secrets/password"}],"command":["/usr/local/bin/docker-entrypoint.sh","postgres","-c","config_file=/etc/postgresql.conf"],"volumeMounts":[{"name":"db-data","mountPath":"/var/lib/postgresql/data"},{"name":"scanner-db-tls-volume","mountPath":"/run/secrets/stackrox.io/certs","readOnly":true},{"name":"scanner-db-password","mountPath":"/run/secrets/stackrox.io/secrets","readOnly":true}],"securityContext":{"runAsGroup":70,"runAsNonRoot":true,"runAsUser":70}}]}}}}'Copy to Clipboard Copied!

After upgrading Central services, you must upgrade all secured clusters.
If you are using automatic upgrades:
- Update all your secured clusters by using automatic upgrades.
- Skip the instructions in this section and follow the instructions in the Verify upgrades and Revoking the API token sections.
If you are not using automatic upgrades, you must run the instructions in this section on all secured clusters including the Central cluster.
- To ensure optimal functionality, use the same RHACS version for your secured clusters and the cluster on which Central is installed.
To complete manual upgrades of each secured cluster running Sensor, Collector, and Admission controller, follow the instructions in this section.

3.5. Rolling back Central Copy linkLink copied to clipboard!
You can roll back to a previous version of Central if the upgrade to a new version is unsuccessful.
3.5.1. Rolling back Central normally Copy linkLink copied to clipboard!
You can roll back to a previous version of Central if upgrading Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes fails.
Prerequisites
- You must be using Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes 3.0.57.0 or higher.
- Before you can perform a rollback, you must have free disk space available on your persistent storage. Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes uses disk space to keep a copy of databases during the upgrade. If the disk space is not enough to store a copy and the upgrade fails, you will not be able to roll back to an earlier version.
Procedure
Run the following command to roll back to a previous version when an upgrade fails (before the Central service starts):
oc -n stackrox rollout undo deploy/central

- If you use Kubernetes, enter

3.5.2. Rolling back Central forcefully Copy linkLink copied to clipboard!
You can use forced rollback to roll back to an earlier version of Central (after the Central service starts).
Using forced rollback to switch back to a previous version might result in loss of data and functionality.
Prerequisites
- You must be using Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes 3.0.58.0 or higher.
- Before you can perform a rollback, you must have free disk space available on your persistent storage. Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes uses disk space to keep a copy of databases during the upgrade. If the disk space is not enough to store a copy and the upgrade fails, you will not be able to roll back to an earlier version.
