Chapter 3. Requirements for upgrading OpenShift AI
This section describes the tasks that you should complete when upgrading OpenShift AI.
Check the components in the DataScienceCluster object
When you upgrade Red Hat OpenShift AI, the upgrade process automatically uses the values from the previous DataScienceCluster object.
After the upgrade, you should inspect the DataScienceCluster object and optionally update the status of any components as described in Updating the installation status of Red Hat OpenShift AI components by using the web console.
Recreate existing pipeline runs
When you upgrade to a newer version, any existing pipeline runs that you created in the previous version continue to refer to the image for the previous version (as expected).
You must delete the pipeline runs (not the pipelines) and create new pipeline runs. The pipeline runs that you create in the newer version correctly refer to the image for the newer version.
For more information on pipeline runs, see Managing pipeline runs.
Upgrading to data science pipelines 2.0
Previously, data science pipelines in OpenShift AI were based on KubeFlow Pipelines v1. It is no longer possible to deploy, view, or edit the details of pipelines that are based on data science pipelines 1.0 from the dashboard in OpenShift AI.
Data science pipelines 2.0 contains an installation of Argo Workflows. OpenShift AI does not support direct customer usage of this installation of Argo Workflows. To install or upgrade to OpenShift AI with data science pipelines 2.0, ensure that there is no existing installation of Argo Workflows on your cluster.
If you want to use existing pipelines and workbenches with data science pipelines 2.0 after upgrading OpenShift AI, you must update your workbenches to use the 2024.1 notebook image version and then manually migrate your pipelines from data science pipelines 1.0 to 2.0. For more information, see Upgrading to data science pipelines 2.0.
Address KServe requirements
For the KServe component, which is used by the single-model serving platform to serve large models, you must meet the following requirements:
- To fully install and use KServe, you must also install Operators for Red Hat OpenShift Serverless and Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh and perform additional configuration. For more information, see Serving large models.
-
If you want to add an authorization provider for the single-model serving platform, you must install the
Red Hat - AuthorinoOperator. For information, see Adding an authorization provider for the single-model serving platform.
