Chapter 3. Updating the undercloud

Procedure

1. Log in to the director as the stack user.

2. Run dnf to upgrade the director main packages:

   $ sudo dnf update -y python3-tripleoclient* tripleo-ansible ansible

3. The director uses the openstack undercloud upgrade command to update the undercloud environment. Run the command:

   $ openstack undercloud upgrade

4. Wait until the undercloud upgrade process completes.

5. Reboot the undercloud to update the operating system’s kernel and other system packages:

   $ sudo reboot

6. Wait until the node boots.

Procedure

1. Source the stackrc file:

   $ source ~/stackrc

2. Remove any existing images from the images directory on the stack user’s home (/home/stack/images):

   $ rm -rf ~/images/*

3. Extract the archives:

   $ cd ~/images
   $ for i in /usr/share/rhosp-director-images/overcloud-full-latest-16.1.tar /usr/share/rhosp-director-images/ironic-python-agent-latest-16.1.tar; do tar -xvf $i; done
   $ cd ~

4. Import the latest images into the director:

   $ openstack overcloud image upload --update-existing --image-path /home/stack/images/

5. Configure your nodes to use the new images:

   $ openstack overcloud node configure $(openstack baremetal node list -c UUID -f value)

6. Verify the existence of the new images:

   $ openstack image list
   $ ls -l /var/lib/ironic/httpboot
