Chapter 1. Preparing for a minor update

Procedure

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

2. Source the stackrc file:

   $ source ~/stackrc

3. Edit your overcloud subscription management environment file, which is the file that contains the RhsmVars parameter. The default name for this file is usually rhsm.yml.

4. Check if your subscription management configuration includes the rhsm_release parameter. If the rhsm_release parameter is not present, add it and set it to 8.4:

   parameter_defaults:
     RhsmVars:
       …​
       rhsm_username: "myusername"
       rhsm_password: "p@55w0rd!"
       rhsm_org_id: "1234567"
       rhsm_pool_ids: "1a85f9223e3d5e43013e3d6e8ff506fd"
       rhsm_method: "portal"
       rhsm_release: "8.4"

5. Save the overcloud subscription management environment file.

6. Create a static inventory file of your overcloud:

   $ tripleo-ansible-inventory --ansible_ssh_user heat-admin --static-yaml-inventory ~/inventory.yaml

   If you use an overcloud name that is different to the default overcloud name of overcloud, set the name of your overcloud with the --plan option.

7. Create a playbook that contains a task to lock the operating system version to RHEL 8.4 on all nodes:

   $ cat > ~/set_release.yaml <<'EOF'
   - hosts: all
     gather_facts: false
     tasks:
       - name: set release to 8.4
         command: subscription-manager release --set=8.4
         become: true
   EOF

8. Run the set_release.yaml playbook:

   $ ansible-playbook -i ~/inventory.yaml -f 25 ~/set_release.yaml --limit <undercloud>,<Controller>,<Compute>

   • Use the --limit option to apply the content to all RHOSP nodes. Replace <undercloud>, <Controller>, <Compute> with the Ansible groups in your environment that contain those nodes.
   • You cannot run this playbook against Ceph Storage nodes if you are using a different subscription for these nodes.

Procedure

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

2. Source the stackrc file:

   $ source ~/stackrc

3. Edit your overcloud subscription management environment file, which is the file that contains the RhsmVars parameter. The default name for this file is usually rhsm.yml.

4. Check the rhsm_repos parameter in your subscription management configuration. If this parameter does not include the AUS repositories, change the relevant repositories to the AUS versions:

   parameter_defaults:
     RhsmVars:
       rhsm_repos:
         - rhel-8-for-x86_64-baseos-aus-rpms
         - rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-aus-rpms
         - rhel-8-for-x86_64-highavailability-aus-rpms
         - ansible-2.9-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms
         - openstack-16.2-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms
         - rhceph-4-tools-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms
         - fast-datapath-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms

5. Save the overcloud subscription management environment file.

6. Create a static inventory file of your overcloud:

   $ tripleo-ansible-inventory --ansible_ssh_user heat-admin --static-yaml-inventory ~/inventory.yaml

   If you use an overcloud name that is different to the default overcloud name of overcloud, set the name of your overcloud with the --plan option.

7. Create a playbook that contains a task to set the repositories to RHEL 8.4 AUS on all nodes:

   $ cat > ~/change_aus.yaml <<'EOF'
   - hosts: all
     gather_facts: false
     tasks:
       - name: change to aus repos
         command: subscription-manager repos --disable=rhel-8-for-x86_64-baseos-*us-rpms --disable=rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-*us-rpms --disable=rhel-8-for-x86_64-highavailability-*us-rpms --enable=rhel-8-for-x86_64-baseos-aus-rpms --enable=rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-aus-rpms --enable=rhel-8-for-x86_64-highavailability-aus-rpms
         become: true
   EOF

   • If your environment includes standard repositories, disable the following repositories:

     • rhel-8-for-x86_64-baseos-rpms
     • rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms
     • rhel-8-for-x86_64-highavailability-rpms

8. Run the change_aus.yaml playbook:

   $ ansible-playbook -i ~/inventory.yaml -f 25 ~/change_aus.yaml --limit <undercloud>,<Controller>,<Compute>

   • Use the --limit option to apply the content to all Red Hat OpenStack Platform nodes. Replace <undercloud>, <Controller>, <Compute> with the Ansible groups in your environment that contain those nodes.
   • You cannot run this playbook against Ceph Storage nodes if you are using a different subscription for these nodes.

Procedure

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

2. Source the stackrc file:

   $ source ~/stackrc

3. Edit your overcloud subscription management environment file, which is the file that contains the RhsmVars parameter. The default name for this file is usually rhsm.yml.

4. Check the rhsm_repos parameter in your subscription management configuration. If the rhsm_repos parameter uses the RHOSP 16.1 and Ansible 2.8 repositories, change the repository to the correct versions:

   parameter_defaults:
     RhsmVars:
       rhsm_repos:
         - rhel-8-for-x86_64-baseos-aus-rpms
         - rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-aus-rpms
         - rhel-8-for-x86_64-highavailability-aus-rpms
         - ansible-2.9-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms
         - openstack-16.2-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms
         - fast-datapath-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms

5. Save the overcloud subscription management environment file.

6. Create a static inventory file of your overcloud:

   $ tripleo-ansible-inventory --ansible_ssh_user heat-admin --static-yaml-inventory ~/inventory.yaml

   If you use an overcloud name that is different to the default overcloud name of overcloud, set the name of your overcloud with the --plan option.

7. Create a playbook that contains a task to set the repositories to RHOSP 16.2 on all RHOSP nodes:

   $ cat > ~/update_rhosp_repos.yaml <<'EOF'
   - hosts: all
     gather_facts: false
     tasks:
       - name: change osp repos
         command: subscription-manager repos --disable=openstack-16.1-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms --enable=openstack-16.2-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms --disable=ansible-2.8-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms --enable=ansible-2.9-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms
         become: true
   EOF

8. Run the update_rhosp_repos.yaml playbook:

   $ ansible-playbook -i ~/inventory.yaml -f 25 ~/update_rhosp_repos.yaml --limit <undercloud>,<Controller>,<Compute>

   • Use the --limit option to apply the content to all RHOSP nodes. Replace <undercloud>, <Controller>, <Compute> with the Ansible groups in your environment that contain those nodes.
   • You cannot run this playbook against Ceph Storage nodes if you are using a different subscription for these nodes.

9. Create a playbook that contains a task to set the repositories to RHOSP 16.2 on all Ceph Storage nodes:

   $ cat > ~/update_ceph_repos.yaml <<'EOF'
   - hosts: all
     gather_facts: false
     tasks:
       - name: change ceph repos
         command: subscription-manager repos --disable=openstack-16-deployment-tools-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms --enable=openstack-16.2-deployment-tools-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms --disable=ansible-2.8-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms --enable=ansible-2.9-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms
         become: true
   EOF

10. Run the update_ceph_repos.yaml playbook:

    $ ansible-playbook -i ~/inventory.yaml -f 25 ~/update_ceph_repos.yaml --limit CephStorage

    Use the --limit option to apply the content to Ceph Storage nodes.

Procedure

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

2. Source the stackrc file:

   $ source ~/stackrc

3. Create a static inventory file of your overcloud:

   $ tripleo-ansible-inventory --ansible_ssh_user heat-admin --static-yaml-inventory ~/inventory.yaml

   If you use an overcloud name that is different to the default overcloud name of overcloud, set the name of your overcloud with the --plan option.

4. Create a playbook that contains a task to set the container-tools module to version 3.0 on all nodes:

   $ cat > ~/container-tools.yaml <<'EOF'
   - hosts: all
     gather_facts: false
     tasks:
       - name: disable default dnf module for container-tools
         command: dnf module reset -y container-tools
         become: true
       - name: set dnf module for container-tools:3.0
         command: dnf module enable -y container-tools:3.0
         become: true
   EOF

5. Run the container-tools.yaml playbook against all nodes:

   $ ansible-playbook -i ~/inventory.yaml -f 25 ~/container-tools.yaml

Procedure

1. Edit the container preparation file. The default name for this file is usually containers-prepare-parameter.yaml.

2. Check the tag parameter is set to 16.2 for each rule set:

   parameter_defaults:
     ContainerImagePrepare:
     - push_destination: true
       set:
         …​
         tag: '16.2'
       tag_from_label: '{version}-{release}'

   Note

   If you do not want to use a specific tag for the update, such as 16.2 or 16.2.2, remove the tag key-value pair and specify tag_from_label only. This uses the installed Red Hat OpenStack Platform version to determine the value for the tag to use as part of the update process.

3. Save this file.

Procedure

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

2. Source the stackrc file:

   $ source ~/stackrc

3. Edit your custom overcloud SSL/TLS public endpoint file, which is usually named ~/templates/enable-tls.yaml.

4. Remove the NodeTLSData resource from the resource_registry:

   resource_registry:
     OS::TripleO::NodeTLSData: /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/puppet/extraconfig/tls/tls-cert-inject.yaml
     ...

   The overcloud deployment uses a new service in HAProxy to determine if SSL/TLS is enabled.

   Note

   If this is the only resource in the resource_registry section of the enable-tls.yaml file, remove the complete resource_registry section.

5. Save the SSL/TLS public endpoint file.

6. If you are updating from Red Hat OpenStack Platform 16.1, you must update the permissions in Red Hat Identity Manager (IdM) for all pre-update checks to pass. Use ssh to login to the server that is running your IdM, and then run the following commands:

   $ kinit admin
   $ ipa privilege-add-permission 'Nova Host Management' --permission 'System: Modify Realm Domains'

Procedure

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

2. Source the stackrc file.

   $ source ~/stackrc

3. Log in to a Controller node and run the Pacemaker command to disable fencing:

   $ ssh heat-admin@<controller_ip> "sudo pcs property set stonith-enabled=false"

   Replace <controller_ip> with the IP address of a Controller node. You can find the IP addresses of your Controller nodes with the openstack server list command.

4. In the fencing.yaml environment file, set the EnableFencing parameter to false to ensure that fencing stays disabled during the update process.
