Chapter 15. Image-based upgrade for single-node OpenShift clusters
15.1. Understanding the image-based upgrade for single-node OpenShift clusters
From OpenShift Container Platform 4.14.13, the Lifecycle Agent provides you with an alternative way to upgrade the platform version of a single-node OpenShift cluster. The image-based upgrade is faster than the standard upgrade method and allows you to directly upgrade from OpenShift Container Platform <4.y> to <4.y+2>, and <4.y.z> to <4.y.z+n>.
This upgrade method utilizes a generated OCI image from a dedicated seed cluster that is installed on the target single-node OpenShift cluster as a new ostree
stateroot. A seed cluster is a single-node OpenShift cluster deployed with the target OpenShift Container Platform version, Day 2 Operators, and configurations that are common to all target clusters.
You can use the seed image, which is generated from the seed cluster, to upgrade the platform version on any single-node OpenShift cluster that has the same combination of hardware, Day 2 Operators, and cluster configuration as the seed cluster.
The image-based upgrade uses custom images that are specific to the hardware platform that the clusters are running on. Each different hardware platform requires a separate seed image.
The Lifecycle Agent uses two custom resources (CRs) on the participating clusters to orchestrate the upgrade:
-
On the seed cluster, the
SeedGenerator
CR allows for the seed image generation. This CR specifies the repository to push the seed image to. -
On the target cluster, the
ImageBasedUpgrade
CR specifies the seed image for the upgrade of the target cluster and the backup configurations for your workloads.
Example SeedGenerator CR

ConfigMap
resources that contain the OADPBackup
andRestore
CRs.
15.1.1. Stages of the image-based upgrade
After generating the seed image on the seed cluster, you can move through the stages on the target cluster by setting the spec.stage
field to one of the following values in the ImageBasedUpgrade
CR:
-
Idle
-
Prep
-
Upgrade
-
Rollback
(Optional)
Figure 15.1. Stages of the image-based upgrade
15.1.1.1. Idle stage
The Lifecycle Agent creates an ImageBasedUpgrade
CR set to stage: Idle
when the Operator is first deployed. This is the default stage. There is no ongoing upgrade and the cluster is ready to move to the Prep
stage.
Figure 15.2. Transition from Idle stage
You also move to the Idle
stage to do one of the following steps:
- Finalize a successful upgrade
- Finalize a rollback
-
Cancel an ongoing upgrade until the pre-pivot phase in the
Upgrade
stage
Moving to the Idle
stage ensures that the Lifecycle Agent cleans up resources, so that the cluster is ready for upgrades again.
Figure 15.3. Transitions to Idle stage
If using RHACM when you cancel an upgrade, you must remove the import.open-cluster-management.io/disable-auto-import
annotation from the target managed cluster to re-enable the automatic import of the cluster.
15.1.1.2. Prep stage
You can complete this stage before a scheduled maintenance window.
For the Prep
stage, you specify the following upgrade details in the ImageBasedUpgrade
CR:
- seed image to use
- resources to back up
- extra manifests to apply and custom catalog sources to retain after the upgrade, if any
Then, based on what you specify, the Lifecycle Agent prepares for the upgrade without impacting the current running version. During this stage, the Lifecycle Agent ensures that the target cluster is ready to proceed to the Upgrade
stage by checking if it meets certain conditions. The Operator pulls the seed image to the target cluster with additional container images specified in the seed image. The Lifecycle Agent checks if there is enough space on the container storage disk and if necessary, the Operator deletes unpinned images until the disk usage is below the specified threshold. For more information about how to configure or disable the cleaning up of the container storage disk, see "Configuring the automatic image cleanup of the container storage disk".
You also prepare backup resources with the OADP Operator’s Backup
and Restore
CRs. These CRs are used in the Upgrade
stage to reconfigure the cluster, register the cluster with RHACM, and restore application artifacts.
In addition to the OADP Operator, the Lifecycle Agent uses the ostree
versioning system to create a backup, which allows complete cluster reconfiguration after both upgrade and rollback.
After the Prep
stage finishes, you can cancel the upgrade process by moving to the Idle
stage or you can start the upgrade by moving to the Upgrade
stage in the ImageBasedUpgrade
CR. If you cancel the upgrade, the Operator performs cleanup operations.
Figure 15.4. Transition from Prep stage
15.1.1.3. Upgrade stage
The Upgrade
stage consists of two phases:
- pre-pivot
-
Just before pivoting to the new stateroot, the Lifecycle Agent collects the required cluster specific artifacts and stores them in the new stateroot. The backup of your cluster resources specified in the
Prep
stage are created on a compatible Object storage solution. The Lifecycle Agent exports CRs specified in theextraManifests
field in theImageBasedUpgrade
CR or the CRs described in the ZTP policies that are bound to the target cluster. After pre-pivot phase has completed, the Lifecycle Agent sets the new stateroot deployment as the default boot entry and reboots the node. - post-pivot
- After booting from the new stateroot, the Lifecycle Agent also regenerates the seed image’s cluster cryptography. This ensures that each single-node OpenShift cluster upgraded with the same seed image has unique and valid cryptographic objects. The Operator then reconfigures the cluster by applying cluster-specific artifacts that were collected in the pre-pivot phase. The Operator applies all saved CRs, and restores the backups.
After the upgrade has completed and you are satisfied with the changes, you can finalize the upgrade by moving to the Idle
stage.
When you finalize the upgrade, you cannot roll back to the original release.
Figure 15.5. Transitions from Upgrade stage
If you want to cancel the upgrade, you can do so until the pre-pivot phase of the Upgrade
stage. If you encounter issues after the upgrade, you can move to the Rollback
stage for a manual rollback.
15.1.1.4. Rollback stage
The Rollback
stage can be initiated manually or automatically upon failure. During the Rollback
stage, the Lifecycle Agent sets the original ostree
stateroot deployment as default. Then, the node reboots with the previous release of OpenShift Container Platform and application configurations.
If you move to the Idle
stage after a rollback, the Lifecycle Agent cleans up resources that can be used to troubleshoot a failed upgrade.
The Lifecycle Agent initiates an automatic rollback if the upgrade does not complete within a specified time limit. For more information about the automatic rollback, see the "Moving to the Rollback stage with Lifecycle Agent" or "Moving to the Rollback stage with Lifecycle Agent and GitOps ZTP" sections.
Figure 15.6. Transition from Rollback stage
15.1.2. Guidelines for the image-based upgrade
For a successful image-based upgrade, your deployments must meet certain requirements.
There are different deployment methods in which you can perform the image-based upgrade:
- GitOps ZTP
- You use the GitOps Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) to deploy and configure your clusters.
- Non-GitOps
- You manually deploy and configure your clusters.
You can perform an image-based upgrade in disconnected environments. For more information about how to mirror images for a disconnected environment, see "Mirroring images for a disconnected installation".
Additional resources
15.1.2.1. Minimum software version of components
Depending on your deployment method, the image-based upgrade requires the following minimum software versions.
Component | Software version | Required |
---|---|---|
Lifecycle Agent | 4.16 | Yes |
OADP Operator | 1.4.1 | Yes |
Managed cluster version | 4.14.13 | Yes |
Hub cluster version | 4.16 | No |
RHACM | 2.10.2 | No |
GitOps ZTP plugin | 4.16 | Only for GitOps ZTP deployment method |
Red Hat OpenShift GitOps | 1.12 | Only for GitOps ZTP deployment method |
Topology Aware Lifecycle Manager (TALM) | 4.16 | Only for GitOps ZTP deployment method |
Local Storage Operator [1] | 4.14 | Yes |
Logical Volume Manager (LVM) Storage [1] | 4.14.2 | Yes |
- The persistent storage must be provided by either the LVM Storage or the Local Storage Operator, not both.
15.1.2.2. Hub cluster guidelines
If you are using Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management (RHACM), your hub cluster needs to meet the following conditions:
- To avoid including any RHACM resources in your seed image, you need to disable all optional RHACM add-ons before generating the seed image.
- Your hub cluster must be upgraded to at least the target version before performing an image-based upgrade on a target single-node OpenShift cluster.
15.1.2.3. Seed image guidelines
The seed image targets a set of single-node OpenShift clusters with the same hardware and similar configuration. This means that the seed cluster must match the configuration of the target clusters for the following items:
CPU topology
- Number of CPU cores
- Tuned performance configuration, such as number of reserved CPUs
-
MachineConfig
resources for the target cluster IP version
NoteDual-stack networking is not supported in this release.
- Set of Day 2 Operators, including the Lifecycle Agent and the OADP Operator
- Disconnected registry
- FIPS configuration
The following configurations only have to partially match on the participating clusters:
- If the target cluster has a proxy configuration, the seed cluster must have a proxy configuration too but the configuration does not have to be the same.
-
A dedicated partition on the primary disk for container storage is required on all participating clusters. However, the size and start of the partition does not have to be the same. Only the
spec.config.storage.disks.partitions.label: varlibcontainers
label in theMachineConfig
CR must match on both the seed and target clusters. For more information about how to create the disk partition, see "Configuring a shared container partition between ostree stateroots" or "Configuring a shared container partition between ostree stateroots when using GitOps ZTP".
For more information about what to include in the seed image, see "Seed image configuration" and "Seed image configuration using the RAN DU profile".
15.1.2.4. OADP backup and restore guidelines
With the OADP Operator, you can back up and restore your applications on your target clusters by using Backup
and Restore
CRs wrapped in ConfigMap
objects. The application must work on the current and the target OpenShift Container Platform versions so that they can be restored after the upgrade. The backups must include resources that were initially created.
The following resources must be excluded from the backup:
-
pods
-
endpoints
-
controllerrevision
-
podmetrics
-
packagemanifest
-
replicaset
-
localvolume
, if using Local Storage Operator (LSO)
There are two local storage implementations for single-node OpenShift:
- Local Storage Operator (LSO)
-
The Lifecycle Agent automatically backs up and restores the required artifacts, including
localvolume
resources and their associatedStorageClass
resources. You must exclude thepersistentvolumes
resource in the applicationBackup
CR. - LVM Storage
-
You must create the
Backup
andRestore
CRs for LVM Storage artifacts. You must include thepersistentVolumes
resource in the applicationBackup
CR.
For the image-based upgrade, only one Operator is supported on a given target cluster.
For both Operators, you must not apply the Operator CRs as extra manifests through the ImageBasedUpgrade
CR.
The persistent volume contents are preserved and used after the pivot. When you are configuring the DataProtectionApplication
CR, you must ensure that the .spec.configuration.restic.enable
is set to false
for an image-based upgrade. This disables Container Storage Interface integration.
15.1.2.4.1. lca.openshift.io/apply-wave guidelines
The lca.openshift.io/apply-wave
annotation determines the apply order of Backup
or Restore
CRs. The value of the annotation must be a string number. If you define the lca.openshift.io/apply-wave
annotation in the Backup
or Restore
CRs, they are applied in increasing order based on the annotation value. If you do not define the annotation, they are applied together.
The lca.openshift.io/apply-wave
annotation must be numerically lower in your platform Restore
CRs, for example RHACM and LVM Storage artifacts, than that of the application. This way, the platform artifacts are restored before your applications.
If your application includes cluster-scoped resources, you must create separate Backup
and Restore
CRs to scope the backup to the specific cluster-scoped resources created by the application. The Restore
CR for the cluster-scoped resources must be restored before the remaining application Restore
CR(s).
15.1.2.4.2. lca.openshift.io/apply-label guidelines
You can back up specific resources exclusively with the lca.openshift.io/apply-label
annotation. Based on which resources you define in the annotation, the Lifecycle Agent applies the lca.openshift.io/backup: <backup_name>
label and adds the labelSelector.matchLabels.lca.openshift.io/backup: <backup_name>
label selector to the specified resources when creating the Backup
CRs.
To use the lca.openshift.io/apply-label
annotation for backing up specific resources, the resources listed in the annotation must also be included in the spec
section. If the lca.openshift.io/apply-label
annotation is used in the Backup
CR, only the resources listed in the annotation are backed up, even if other resource types are specified in the spec
section or not.
Example CR
apiVersion: velero.io/v1
kind: Backup
metadata:
name: acm-klusterlet
namespace: openshift-adp
annotations:
lca.openshift.io/apply-label: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1/clusterroles/klusterlet,apps/v1/deployments/open-cluster-management-agent/klusterlet 1
labels:
velero.io/storage-location: default
spec:
includedNamespaces:
- open-cluster-management-agent
includedClusterScopedResources:
- clusterroles
includedNamespaceScopedResources:
- deployments
- 1
- The value must be a list of comma-separated objects in
group/version/resource/name
format for cluster-scoped resources orgroup/version/resource/namespace/name
format for namespace-scoped resources, and it must be attached to the relatedBackup
CR.
15.1.2.5. Extra manifest guidelines
The Lifecycle Agent uses extra manifests to restore your target clusters after rebooting with the new stateroot deployment and before restoring application artifacts.
Different deployment methods require a different way to apply the extra manifests:
- GitOps ZTP
You use the
lca.openshift.io/target-ocp-version: <target_ocp_version>
label to mark the extra manifests that the Lifecycle Agent must extract and apply after the pivot. You can specify the number of manifests labeled withlca.openshift.io/target-ocp-version
by using thelca.openshift.io/target-ocp-version-manifest-count
annotation in theImageBasedUpgrade
CR. If specified, the Lifecycle Agent verifies that the number of manifests extracted from policies matches the number provided in the annotation during the prep and upgrade stages.Example for the lca.openshift.io/target-ocp-version-manifest-count annotation
apiVersion: lca.openshift.io/v1 kind: ImageBasedUpgrade metadata: annotations: lca.openshift.io/target-ocp-version-manifest-count: "5" name: upgrade
- Non-Gitops
-
You mark your extra manifests with the
lca.openshift.io/apply-wave
annotation to determine the apply order. The labeled extra manifests are wrapped inConfigMap
objects and referenced in theImageBasedUpgrade
CR that the Lifecycle Agent uses after the pivot.
If the target cluster uses custom catalog sources, you must include them as extra manifests that point to the correct release version.
You cannot apply the following items as extra manifests:
-
MachineConfig
objects - OLM Operator subscriptions

15.2.3. Generating a seed image for the image-based upgrade with the Lifecycle Agent
Use the Lifecycle Agent to generate the seed image with the SeedGenerator
custom resource (CR).
15.2.3.1. Seed image configuration
The seed image targets a set of single-node OpenShift clusters with the same hardware and similar configuration. This means that the seed image must have all of the components and configuration that the seed cluster shares with the target clusters. Therefore, the seed image generated from the seed cluster cannot contain any cluster-specific configuration.
The following table lists the components, resources, and configurations that you must and must not include in your seed image:
Cluster configuration | Include in seed image |
---|---|
Performance profile | Yes |
| Yes |
IP version [1] | Yes |
Set of Day 2 Operators, including the Lifecycle Agent and the OADP Operator | Yes |
Disconnected registry configuration [2] | Yes |
Valid proxy configuration [3] | Yes |
FIPS configuration | Yes |
Dedicated partition on the primary disk for container storage that matches the size of the target clusters | Yes |
Local volumes
| No |
OADP | No |
- Dual-stack networking is not supported in this release.
- If the seed cluster is installed in a disconnected environment, the target clusters must also be installed in a disconnected environment.
- The proxy configuration on the seed and target clusters does not have to match.
15.2.3.1.1. Seed image configuration using the RAN DU profile
The following table lists the components, resources, and configurations that you must and must not include in the seed image when using the RAN DU profile:
Resource | Include in seed image |
---|---|
All extra manifests that are applied as part of Day 0 installation | Yes |
All Day 2 Operator subscriptions | Yes |
| Yes |
| Yes |
| Yes |
| Yes |
| Yes |
|
No, if it is used in |
| No |
| No |
Resource | Apply as extra manifest |
---|---|
| Yes |
| Yes |
| Yes |
| Yes |
| Yes |
| If the interfaces of the target cluster are common with the seed cluster, you can include them in the seed image. Otherwise, apply it as extra manifests. |
| If the configuration, including namespaces, is exactly the same on both the seed and target cluster, you can include them in the seed image. Otherwise, apply them as extra manifests. |
15.2.3.2. Generating a seed image with the Lifecycle Agent
Use the Lifecycle Agent to generate a seed image from a managed cluster. The Operator checks for required system configurations, performs any necessary system cleanup before generating the seed image, and launches the image generation. The seed image generation includes the following tasks:
- Stopping cluster Operators
- Preparing the seed image configuration

Generating and pushing the seed image to the image repository specified in the
SeedGenerator
CR - Restoring cluster Operators
- Expiring seed cluster certificates
- Generating new certificates for the seed cluster
-
Restoring and updating the
SeedGenerator
CR on the seed cluster
Prerequisites
- RHACM and multicluster engine for Kubernetes Operator are not installed on the seed cluster.
- You have configured a shared container directory on the seed cluster.
- You have installed the minimum version of the OADP Operator and the Lifecycle Agent on the seed cluster.
- Ensure that persistent volumes are not configured on the seed cluster.
-
Ensure that the
LocalVolume
CR does not exist on the seed cluster if the Local Storage Operator is used. -
Ensure that the
LVMCluster
CR does not exist on the seed cluster if LVM Storage is used. -
Ensure that the
DataProtectionApplication
CR does not exist on the seed cluster if OADP is used.
Procedure
Detach the managed cluster from the hub to delete any RHACM-specific resources from the seed cluster that must not be in the seed image:
Manually detach the seed cluster by running the following command:
$ oc delete managedcluster sno-worker-example
-
Wait until the managed cluster is removed. After the cluster is removed, create the proper
SeedGenerator
CR. The Lifecycle Agent cleans up the RHACM artifacts.
-
Wait until the managed cluster is removed. After the cluster is removed, create the proper
If you are using GitOps ZTP, detach your cluster by removing the seed cluster’s
SiteConfig
CR from thekustomization.yaml
.If you have a
kustomization.yaml
file that references multipleSiteConfig
CRs, remove your seed cluster’sSiteConfig
CR from thekustomization.yaml
:apiVersion: kustomize.config.k8s.io/v1beta1 kind: Kustomization generators: #- example-seed-sno1.yaml - example-target-sno2.yaml - example-target-sno3.yaml
If you have a
kustomization.yaml
that references oneSiteConfig
CR, remove your seed cluster’sSiteConfig
CR from thekustomization.yaml
and add thegenerators: {}
line:apiVersion: kustomize.config.k8s.io/v1beta1 kind: Kustomization generators: {}
Commit the
kustomization.yaml
changes in your Git repository and push the changes to your repository.The ArgoCD pipeline detects the changes and removes the managed cluster.
Create the
Secret
object so that you can push the seed image to your registry.Create the authentication file by running the following commands:
$ MY_USER=myuserid $ AUTHFILE=/tmp/my-auth.json $ podman login --authfile ${AUTHFILE} -u ${MY_USER} quay.io/${MY_USER}
$ base64 -w 0 ${AUTHFILE} ; echo
Copy the output into the
seedAuth
field in theSecret
YAML file namedseedgen
in theopenshift-lifecycle-agent
namespace:apiVersion: v1 kind: Secret metadata: name: seedgen 1 namespace: openshift-lifecycle-agent type: Opaque data: seedAuth: <encoded_AUTHFILE> 2
Apply the
Secret
by running the following command:$ oc apply -f secretseedgenerator.yaml
Create the
SeedGenerator
CR:apiVersion: lca.openshift.io/v1 kind: SeedGenerator metadata: name: seedimage 1 spec: seedImage: <seed_container_image> 2
Generate the seed image by running the following command:
$ oc apply -f seedgenerator.yaml
ImportantThe cluster reboots and loses API capabilities while the Lifecycle Agent generates the seed image. Applying the
SeedGenerator
CR stops thekubelet
and the CRI-O operations, then it starts the image generation.
If you want to generate more seed images, you must provision a new seed cluster with the version that you want to generate a seed image from.
Verification
After the cluster recovers and it is available, you can check the status of the
SeedGenerator
CR by running the following command:$ oc get seedgenerator -o yaml
Example output
status: conditions: - lastTransitionTime: "2024-02-13T21:24:26Z" message: Seed Generation completed observedGeneration: 1 reason: Completed status: "False" type: SeedGenInProgress - lastTransitionTime: "2024-02-13T21:24:26Z" message: Seed Generation completed observedGeneration: 1 reason: Completed status: "True" type: SeedGenCompleted 1 observedGeneration: 1
- 1
- The seed image generation is complete.

15.2.5.2. Labeling extra manifests for the image-based upgrade with GitOps ZTP
Label your extra manifests so that the Lifecycle Agent can extract resources that are labeled with the lca.openshift.io/target-ocp-version: <target_version>
label.
Prerequisites
- You have provisioned one or more managed clusters with GitOps ZTP.
-
You have logged in as a user with
cluster-admin
privileges. - You have generated a seed image from a compatible seed cluster.
- You have created a separate partition on the target cluster for the container images that is shared between stateroots. For more information, see "Configuring a shared container directory between ostree stateroots when using GitOps ZTP".
- You have deployed a version of Lifecycle Agent that is compatible with the version used with the seed image.

- Ensure that the
lca.openshift.io/target-ocp-version
label matches either the y-stream or the z-stream of the target OpenShift Container Platform version that is specified in thespec.seedImageRef.version
field of theImageBasedUpgrade
CR. The Lifecycle Agent only applies the CRs that match the specified version. - 2
- If you do not want to use custom catalog sources, remove this entry.
- Push the changes to your Git repository.
15.2.6. Configuring the automatic image cleanup of the container storage disk
Configure when the Lifecycle Agent cleans up unpinned images in the Prep
stage by setting a minimum threshold for available storage space through annotations. The default container storage disk usage threshold is 50%.
The Lifecycle Agent does not delete images that are pinned in CRI-O or are currently used. The Operator selects the images for deletion by starting with dangling images and then sorting the images from oldest to newest that is determined by the image Created
timestamp.
15.2.6.1. Configuring the automatic image cleanup of the container storage disk
Configure the minimum threshold for available storage space through annotations.
Prerequisites
-
You have created an
ImageBasedUpgrade
CR.
Procedure
Increase the threshold to 65% by running the following command:
$ oc -n openshift-lifecycle-agent annotate ibu upgrade image-cleanup.lca.openshift.io/disk-usage-threshold-percent='65'
(Optional) Remove the threshold override by running the following command:
$ oc -n openshift-lifecycle-agent annotate ibu upgrade image-cleanup.lca.openshift.io/disk-usage-threshold-percent-
15.2.6.2. Disable the automatic image cleanup of the container storage disk
Disable the automatic image cleanup threshold.
Procedure
Disable the automatic image cleanup by running the following command:
$ oc -n openshift-lifecycle-agent annotate ibu upgrade image-cleanup.lca.openshift.io/on-prep='Disabled'
(Optional) Enable automatic image cleanup again by running the following command:
$ oc -n openshift-lifecycle-agent annotate ibu upgrade image-cleanup.lca.openshift.io/on-prep-
15.3. Performing an image-based upgrade for single-node OpenShift clusters with the Lifecycle Agent
You can use the Lifecycle Agent to do a manual image-based upgrade of a single-node OpenShift cluster.
When you deploy the Lifecycle Agent on a cluster, an ImageBasedUpgrade
CR is automatically created. You update this CR to specify the image repository of the seed image and to move through the different stages.
15.3.1. Moving to the Prep stage of the image-based upgrade with Lifecycle Agent
When you deploy the Lifecycle Agent on a cluster, an ImageBasedUpgrade
custom resource (CR) is automatically created.
After you created all the resources that you need during the upgrade, you can move on to the Prep
stage. For more information, see the "Creating ConfigMap objects for the image-based upgrade with Lifecycle Agent" section.
Prerequisites
- You have created resources to back up and restore your clusters.
Procedure
Check that you have patched your
ImageBasedUpgrade
CR:apiVersion: lca.openshift.io/v1 kind: ImageBasedUpgrade metadata: name: upgrade spec: stage: Idle seedImageRef: version: 4.15.2 1 image: <seed_container_image> 2 pullSecretRef: <seed_pull_secret> 3 autoRollbackOnFailure: {} # initMonitorTimeoutSeconds: 1800 4 extraManifests: 5 - name: example-extra-manifests-cm namespace: openshift-lifecycle-agent - name: example-catalogsources-cm namespace: openshift-lifecycle-agent oadpContent: 6 - name: oadp-cm-example namespace: openshift-adp

- Target platform version. The value must match the version of the seed image.
- 2
- Repository where the target cluster can pull the seed image from.
- 3
- Reference to a secret with credentials to pull container images if the images are in a private registry.
- 4
- Optional: Time frame in seconds to roll back if the upgrade does not complete within that time frame after the first reboot. If not defined or set to
0
, the default value of1800
seconds (30 minutes) is used. - 5
- Optional: List of
ConfigMap
resources that contain your custom catalog sources to retain after the upgrade and your extra manifests to apply to the target cluster that are not part of the seed image. - 6
- List of
ConfigMap
resources that contain the OADPBackup
andRestore
CRs.
To start the
Prep
stage, change the value of thestage
field toPrep
in theImageBasedUpgrade
CR by running the following command:$ oc patch imagebasedupgrades.lca.openshift.io upgrade -p='{"spec": {"stage": "Prep"}}' --type=merge -n openshift-lifecycle-agent
If you provide
ConfigMap
objects for OADP resources and extra manifests, Lifecycle Agent validates the specifiedConfigMap
objects during thePrep
stage. You might encounter the following issues:-
Validation warnings or errors if the Lifecycle Agent detects any issues with the
extraManifests
parameters. -
Validation errors if the Lifecycle Agent detects any issues with the
oadpContent

Validation warnings do not block the
Upgrade
stage but you must decide if it is safe to proceed with the upgrade. These warnings, for example missing CRDs, namespaces, or dry run failures, update thestatus.conditions
for thePrep
stage andannotation
fields in theImageBasedUpgrade
CR with details about the warning.Example validation warning
# ... metadata: annotations: extra-manifest.lca.openshift.io/validation-warning: '...' # ...
However, validation errors, such as adding
MachineConfig
or Operator manifests to extra manifests, cause thePrep
stage to fail and block theUpgrade
stage.When the validations pass, the cluster creates a new
ostree
stateroot, which involves pulling and unpacking the seed image, and running host-level commands. Finally, all the required images are precached on the target cluster.-

15.3.2. Moving to the Upgrade stage of the image-based upgrade with Lifecycle Agent
After you generate the seed image and complete the Prep
stage, you can upgrade the target cluster. During the upgrade process, the OADP Operator creates a backup of the artifacts specified in the OADP custom resources (CRs), then the Lifecycle Agent upgrades the cluster.
If the upgrade fails or stops, an automatic rollback is initiated. If you have an issue after the upgrade, you can initiate a manual rollback. For more information about manual rollback, see "Moving to the Rollback stage of the image-based upgrade with Lifecycle Agent".
Prerequisites

15.3.3. Moving to the Rollback stage of the image-based upgrade with Lifecycle Agent
An automatic rollback is initiated if the upgrade does not complete within the time frame specified in the initMonitorTimeoutSeconds
field after rebooting.
Example ImageBasedUpgrade CR
apiVersion: lca.openshift.io/v1
kind: ImageBasedUpgrade
metadata:
name: upgrade
spec:
stage: Idle
seedImageRef:
version: 4.15.2
image: <seed_container_image>
autoRollbackOnFailure: {}
# initMonitorTimeoutSeconds: 1800 1
# ...
- 1
- Optional: The time frame in seconds to roll back if the upgrade does not complete within that time frame after the first reboot. If not defined or set to
0
, the default value of1800
seconds (30 minutes) is used.
You can manually roll back the changes if you encounter unresolvable issues after an upgrade.
Prerequisites
-
You have logged into the hub cluster as a user with
cluster-admin
privileges. - You ensured that the control plane certificates on the original stateroot are valid. If the certificates expired, see "Recovering from expired control plane certificates".
Procedure
To move to the rollback stage, patch the value of the
stage
field toRollback
in theImageBasedUpgrade
CR by running the following command:$ oc patch imagebasedupgrades.lca.openshift.io upgrade -p='{"spec": {"stage": "Rollback"}}' --type=merge
The Lifecycle Agent reboots the cluster with the previously installed version of OpenShift Container Platform and restores the applications.
If you are satisfied with the changes, finalize the rollback by patching the value of the
stage
field toIdle
in theImageBasedUpgrade
CR by running the following command:$ oc patch imagebasedupgrades.lca.openshift.io upgrade -p='{"spec": {"stage": "Idle"}}' --type=merge -n openshift-lifecycle-agent
WarningIf you move to the
Idle
stage after a rollback, the Lifecycle Agent cleans up resources that can be used to troubleshoot a failed upgrade.
Additional resources
15.3.4. Troubleshooting image-based upgrades with Lifecycle Agent
Perform troubleshooting steps on the managed clusters that are affected by an issue.
If you are using the ImageBasedGroupUpgrade
CR to upgrade your clusters, ensure that the lcm.openshift.io/ibgu-<stage>-completed or `lcm.openshift.io/ibgu-<stage>-failed
cluster labels are updated properly after performing troubleshooting or recovery steps on the managed clusters. This ensures that the TALM continues to manage the image-based upgrade for the cluster.
15.3.4.1. Collecting logs
You can use the oc adm must-gather
CLI to collect information for debugging and troubleshooting.
Procedure
Collect data about the Operators by running the following command:
$ oc adm must-gather \ --dest-dir=must-gather/tmp \ --image=$(oc -n openshift-lifecycle-agent get deployment.apps/lifecycle-agent-controller-manager -o jsonpath='{.spec.template.spec.containers[?(@.name == "manager")].image}') \ --image=quay.io/konveyor/oadp-must-gather:latest \// 1 --image=quay.io/openshift/origin-must-gather:latest 2
15.3.4.2. AbortFailed or FinalizeFailed error
- Issue
During the finalize stage or when you stop the process at the
Prep
stage, Lifecycle Agent cleans up the following resources:- Stateroot that is no longer required
- Precaching resources
- OADP CRs
-
ImageBasedUpgrade
CR
If the Lifecycle Agent fails to perform the above steps, it transitions to the
AbortFailed
orFinalizeFailed
states. The condition message and log show which steps failed.Example error message
message: failed to delete all the backup CRs. Perform cleanup manually then add 'lca.openshift.io/manual-cleanup-done' annotation to ibu CR to transition back to Idle observedGeneration: 5 reason: AbortFailed status: "False" type: Idle
- Resolution
- Inspect the logs to determine why the failure occurred.
To prompt Lifecycle Agent to retry the cleanup, add the
lca.openshift.io/manual-cleanup-done
annotation to theImageBasedUpgrade
CR.After observing this annotation, Lifecycle Agent retries the cleanup and, if it is successful, the
ImageBasedUpgrade
stage transitions toIdle
.If the cleanup fails again, you can manually clean up the resources.
15.3.4.2.1. Cleaning up stateroot manually
- Issue
-
Stopping at the
Prep
stage, Lifecycle Agent cleans up the new stateroot. When finalizing after a successful upgrade or a rollback, Lifecycle Agent cleans up the old stateroot. If this step fails, it is recommended that you inspect the logs to determine why the failure occurred. - Resolution
Check if there are any existing deployments in the stateroot by running the following command:
$ ostree admin status
If there are any, clean up the existing deployment by running the following command:
$ ostree admin undeploy <index_of_deployment>
After cleaning up all the deployments of the stateroot, wipe the stateroot directory by running the following commands:
WarningEnsure that the booted deployment is not in this stateroot.
$ stateroot="<stateroot_to_delete>"
$ unshare -m /bin/sh -c "mount -o remount,rw /sysroot && rm -rf /sysroot/ostree/deploy/${stateroot}"
15.3.4.2.2. Cleaning up OADP resources manually
- Issue
-
Automatic cleanup of OADP resources can fail due to connection issues between Lifecycle Agent and the S3 backend. By restoring the connection and adding the
lca.openshift.io/manual-cleanup-done
annotation, the Lifecycle Agent can successfully cleanup backup resources. - Resolution
Check the backend connectivity by running the following command:
$ oc get backupstoragelocations.velero.io -n openshift-adp
Example output
NAME PHASE LAST VALIDATED AGE DEFAULT dataprotectionapplication-1 Available 33s 8d true
-
Remove all backup resources and then add the
lca.openshift.io/manual-cleanup-done
annotation to theImageBasedUpgrade
CR.
15.3.4.3. LVM Storage volume contents not restored
When LVM Storage is used to provide dynamic persistent volume storage, LVM Storage might not restore the persistent volume contents if it is configured incorrectly.
15.3.4.3.1. Missing LVM Storage-related fields in Backup CR
- Issue
Your
Backup
CRs might be missing fields that are needed to restore your persistent volumes. You can check for events in your application pod to determine if you have this issue by running the following:$ oc describe pod <your_app_name>
Example output showing missing LVM Storage-related fields in Backup CR
Events: Type Reason Age From Message ---- ------ ---- ---- ------- Warning FailedScheduling 58s (x2 over 66s) default-scheduler 0/1 nodes are available: pod has unbound immediate PersistentVolumeClaims. preemption: 0/1 nodes are available: 1 Preemption is not helpful for scheduling..

- Resolution
You must include
logicalvolumes.topolvm.io
in the applicationBackup
CR. Without this resource, the application restores its persistent volume claims and persistent volume manifests correctly, however, thelogicalvolume
associated with this persistent volume is not restored properly after pivot.Example Backup CR
apiVersion: velero.io/v1 kind: Backup metadata: labels: velero.io/storage-location: default name: small-app namespace: openshift-adp spec: includedNamespaces: - test includedNamespaceScopedResources: - secrets - persistentvolumeclaims - deployments - statefulsets includedClusterScopedResources: 1 - persistentVolumes - volumesnapshotcontents - logicalvolumes.topolvm.io
- 1
- To restore the persistent volumes for your application, you must configure this section as shown.
15.3.4.3.2. Missing LVM Storage-related fields in Restore CR
- Issue
The expected resources for the applications are restored but the persistent volume contents are not preserved after upgrading.
List the persistent volumes for you applications by running the following command before pivot:
$ oc get pv,pvc,logicalvolumes.topolvm.io -A
Example output before pivot
NAME CAPACITY ACCESS MODES RECLAIM POLICY STATUS CLAIM STORAGECLASS REASON AGE persistentvolume/pvc-1234 1Gi RWO Retain Bound default/pvc-db lvms-vg1 4h45m NAMESPACE NAME STATUS VOLUME CAPACITY ACCESS MODES STORAGECLASS AGE default persistentvolumeclaim/pvc-db Bound pvc-1234 1Gi RWO lvms-vg1 4h45m NAMESPACE NAME AGE logicalvolume.topolvm.io/pvc-1234 4h45m
List the persistent volumes for you applications by running the following command after pivot:
$ oc get pv,pvc,logicalvolumes.topolvm.io -A
Example output after pivot
NAME CAPACITY ACCESS MODES RECLAIM POLICY STATUS CLAIM STORAGECLASS REASON AGE persistentvolume/pvc-1234 1Gi RWO Delete Bound default/pvc-db lvms-vg1 19s NAMESPACE NAME STATUS VOLUME CAPACITY ACCESS MODES STORAGECLASS AGE default persistentvolumeclaim/pvc-db Bound pvc-1234 1Gi RWO lvms-vg1 19s NAMESPACE NAME AGE logicalvolume.topolvm.io/pvc-1234 18s
- Resolution
The reason for this issue is that the
logicalvolume
status is not preserved in theRestore
CR. This status is important because it is required for Velero to reference the volumes that must be preserved after pivoting. You must include the following fields in the applicationRestore
CR:Example Restore CR
apiVersion: velero.io/v1 kind: Restore metadata: name: sample-vote-app namespace: openshift-adp labels: velero.io/storage-location: default annotations: lca.openshift.io/apply-wave: "3" spec: backupName: sample-vote-app restorePVs: true 1 restoreStatus: 2 includedResources: - logicalvolumes
15.3.4.4. Debugging failed Backup and Restore CRs
- Issue
- The backup or restoration of artifacts failed.
- Resolution
You can debug
Backup
andRestore
CRs and retrieve logs with the Velero CLI tool. The Velero CLI tool provides more detailed information than the OpenShift CLI tool.Describe the
Backup
CR that contains errors by running the following command:$ oc exec -n openshift-adp velero-7c87d58c7b-sw6fc -c velero -- ./velero describe backup -n openshift-adp backup-acm-klusterlet --details
Describe the
Restore
CR that contains errors by running the following command:$ oc exec -n openshift-adp velero-7c87d58c7b-sw6fc -c velero -- ./velero describe restore -n openshift-adp restore-acm-klusterlet --details
Download the backed up resources to a local directory by running the following command:
$ oc exec -n openshift-adp velero-7c87d58c7b-sw6fc -c velero -- ./velero backup download -n openshift-adp backup-acm-klusterlet -o ~/backup-acm-klusterlet.tar.gz
15.4. Performing an image-based upgrade for single-node OpenShift clusters using GitOps ZTP
You can use a single resource on the hub cluster, the ImageBasedGroupUpgrade
custom resource (CR), to manage an imaged-based upgrade on a selected group of managed clusters through all stages. Topology Aware Lifecycle Manager (TALM) reconciles the ImageBasedGroupUpgrade
CR and creates the underlying resources to complete the defined stage transitions, either in a manually controlled or a fully automated upgrade flow.
For more information about the image-based upgrade, see "Understanding the image-based upgrade for single-node OpenShift clusters".
Additional resources
15.4.1. Managing the image-based upgrade at scale using the ImageBasedGroupUpgrade
CR on the hub
The ImageBasedGroupUpgrade
CR combines the ImageBasedUpgrade
and ClusterGroupUpgrade
APIs. For example, you can define the cluster selection and rollout strategy with the ImageBasedGroupUpgrade
API in the same way as the ClusterGroupUpgrade
API. The stage transitions are different from the ImageBasedUpgrade
API. The ImageBasedGroupUpgrade
API allows you to combine several stage transitions, also called actions, into one step that share one rollout strategy.
Example ImageBasedGroupUpgrade.yaml
apiVersion: lcm.openshift.io/v1alpha1 kind: ImageBasedGroupUpgrade metadata: name: <filename> namespace: default spec: clusterLabelSelectors: 1 - matchExpressions: - key: name operator: In values: - spoke1 - spoke4 - spoke6 ibuSpec: seedImageRef: 2 image: quay.io/seed/image:4.17.0-rc.1 version: 4.17.0-rc.1 pullSecretRef: name: "<seed_pull_secret>" extraManifests: 3 - name: example-extra-manifests namespace: openshift-lifecycle-agent oadpContent: 4 - name: oadp-cm namespace: openshift-adp plan: 5 - actions: ["Prep", "Upgrade", "FinalizeUpgrade"] rolloutStrategy: maxConcurrency: 200 6 timeout: 2400 7

CRs.- 5
- Upgrade plan details.
- 6
- Number of clusters to update in a batch.
- 7
- Timeout limit to complete the action in minutes.
15.4.1.1. Supported action combinations
Actions are the list of stage transitions that TALM completes in the steps of an upgrade plan for the selected group of clusters. Each action
entry in the ImageBasedGroupUpgrade
CR is a separate step and a step contains one or several actions that share the same rollout strategy. You can achieve more control over the rollout strategy for each action by separating actions into steps.
These actions can be combined differently in your upgrade plan and you can add subsequent steps later. Wait until the previous steps either complete or fail before adding a step to your plan. The first action of an added step for clusters that failed a previous steps must be either Abort
or Rollback
.
You cannot remove actions or steps from an ongoing plan.
The following table shows example plans for different levels of control over the rollout strategy:
Example plan | Description |
---|---|
plan: - actions: ["Prep", "Upgrade", "FinalizeUpgrade"] rolloutStrategy: maxConcurrency: 200 timeout: 60 | All actions share the same strategy |
plan: - actions: ["Prep", "Upgrade"] rolloutStrategy: maxConcurrency: 200 timeout: 60 - actions: ["FinalizeUpgrade"] rolloutStrategy: maxConcurrency: 500 timeout: 10 | Some actions share the same strategy |
plan: - actions: ["Prep"] rolloutStrategy: maxConcurrency: 200 timeout: 60 - actions: ["Upgrade"] rolloutStrategy: maxConcurrency: 200 timeout: 20 - actions: ["FinalizeUpgrade"] rolloutStrategy: maxConcurrency: 500 timeout: 10 | All actions have different strategies |
Clusters that fail one of the actions will skip the remaining actions in the same step.
The ImageBasedGroupUpgrade
API accepts the following actions:
Prep
-
Start preparing the upgrade resources by moving to the
Prep
stage. Upgrade
-
Start the upgrade by moving to the
Upgrade
stage. FinalizeUpgrade
-
Finalize the upgrade on selected clusters that completed the
Upgrade
action by moving to theIdle
stage. Rollback
-
Start a rollback only on successfully upgraded clusters by moving to the
Rollback
stage. FinalizeRollback
-
Finalize the rollback by moving to the
Idle
stage. AbortOnFailure
-
Cancel the upgrade on selected clusters that failed the
Prep
orUpgrade
actions by moving to theIdle
stage. Abort
-
Cancel an ongoing upgrade only on clusters that are not yet upgraded by moving to the
Idle
stage.
The following action combinations are supported. A pair of brackets signifies one step in the plan
section:
-
["Prep"]
,["Abort"]
-
["Prep", "Upgrade", "FinalizeUpgrade"]
-
["Prep"]
,["AbortOnFailure"]
,["Upgrade"]
,["AbortOnFailure"]
,["FinalizeUpgrade"]
-
["Rollback", "FinalizeRollback"]
Use one of the following combinations when you need to resume or cancel an ongoing upgrade from a completely new ImageBasedGroupUpgrade
CR:
-
["Upgrade","FinalizeUpgrade"]
-
["FinalizeUpgrade"]
-
["FinalizeRollback"]
-
["Abort"]
-
["AbortOnFailure"]
15.4.1.2. Labeling for cluster selection
Use the spec.clusterLabelSelectors
field for initial cluster selection. In addition, TALM labels the managed clusters according to the results of their last stage transition.
When a stage completes or fails, TALM marks the relevant clusters with the following labels:
-
lcm.openshift.io/ibgu-<stage>-completed
-
lcm.openshift.io/ibgu-<stage>-failed
Use these cluster labels to cancel or roll back an upgrade on a group of clusters after troubleshooting issues that you might encounter.
If you are using the ImageBasedGroupUpgrade
CR to upgrade your clusters, ensure that the lcm.openshift.io/ibgu-<stage>-completed
or lcm.openshift.io/ibgu-<stage>-failed
cluster labels are updated properly after performing troubleshooting or recovery steps on the managed clusters. This ensures that the TALM continues to manage the image-based upgrade for the cluster.
For example, if you want to cancel the upgrade for all managed clusters except for clusters that successfully completed the upgrade, you can add an Abort
action to your plan. The Abort
action moves back the ImageBasedUpgrade
CR to Idle
stage, which cancels the upgrade on not yet upgraded clusters. Adding a separate Abort
action ensures that the TALM does not perform the Abort
action on clusters that have the lcm.openshift.io/ibgu-upgrade-completed
label.
The cluster labels are removed after successfully canceling or finalizing the upgrade.
15.4.1.3. Status monitoring
The ImageBasedGroupUpgrade
CR ensures better monitoring experience with a comprehensive status reporting for all clusters that is aggregated in one place. You can monitor the following actions:
status.clusters.completedActions
-
Shows all completed actions defined in the
plan
section. status.clusters.currentAction
- Shows all actions that are currently in progress.
status.clusters.failedActions
- Shows all failed actions along with a detailed error message.
15.4.2. Performing an image-based upgrade on managed clusters at scale in several steps
For use cases when you need better control of when the upgrade interrupts your service, you can upgrade a set of your managed clusters by using the ImageBasedGroupUpgrade
CR with adding actions after the previous step is complete. After evaluating the results of the previous steps, you can move to the next upgrade stage or troubleshoot any failed steps throughout the procedure.
Only certain action combinations are supported and listed in Supported action combinations.
Prerequisites
-
You have logged in to the hub cluster as a user with
cluster-admin
privileges. -
You have created policies and
ConfigMap

- Upgrade plan details.
Apply the created file by running the following command on the hub cluster:
$ oc apply -f <filename>.yaml
Monitor the status updates by running the following command on the hub cluster:
$ oc get ibgu -o yaml
Example output
# ... status: clusters: - completedActions: - action: Prep name: spoke1 - completedActions: - action: Prep name: spoke4 - failedActions: - action: Prep name: spoke6 # ...
The previous output of an example plan starts with the
Prep
stage only and you add actions to the plan based on the results of the previous step. TALM adds a label to the clusters to mark if the upgrade succeeded or failed. For example, thelcm.openshift.io/ibgu-prep-failed
is applied to clusters that failed thePrep
stage.After investigating the failure, you can add the
AbortOnFailure
step to your upgrade plan. It moves the clusters labeled withlcm.openshift.io/ibgu-<action>-failed
back to theIdle
stage. Any resources that are related to the upgrade on the selected clusters are deleted.Optional: Add the
AbortOnFailure
action to your existingImageBasedGroupUpgrade

15.4.5. Rolling back an image-based upgrade on managed clusters at scale
Roll back the changes on a set of managed clusters if you encounter unresolvable issues after a successful upgrade. You need to create a separate ImageBasedGroupUpgrade
CR and define the set of managed clusters that you want to roll back.
Only certain action combinations are supported and listed in Supported action combinations.
Prerequisites
-
You have logged in to the hub cluster as a user with
cluster-admin
privileges.
Procedure
Create a separate YAML file on the hub cluster that contains the
ImageBasedGroupUpgrade
CR:apiVersion: lcm.openshift.io/v1alpha1 kind: ImageBasedGroupUpgrade metadata: name: <filename> namespace: default spec: clusterLabelSelectors: - matchExpressions: - key: name operator: In values: - spoke4 ibuSpec: seedImageRef: image: quay.io/seed/image:4.17.0-rc.1 version: 4.17.0-rc.1 pullSecretRef: name: "<seed_pull_secret>" extraManifests: - name: example-extra-manifests namespace: openshift-lifecycle-agent oadpContent: - name: oadp-cm namespace: openshift-adp plan: - actions: ["Rollback", "FinalizeRollback"] rolloutStrategy: maxConcurrency: 200 timeout: 2400
Apply the created file by running the following command on the hub cluster:
$ oc apply -f <filename>.yaml
All managed clusters that match the defined labels are moved back to the
Rollback
and then theIdle
stages to finalize the rollback.
Verification
Monitor the status updates by running the following command:
$ oc get ibgu -o yaml
Example output
# ... status: clusters: - completedActions: - action: Rollback - action: FinalizeRollback name: spoke4 # ...

15.4.6. Troubleshooting image-based upgrades with Lifecycle Agent
Perform troubleshooting steps on the managed clusters that are affected by an issue.
If you are using the ImageBasedGroupUpgrade
CR to upgrade your clusters, ensure that the lcm.openshift.io/ibgu-<stage>-completed or `lcm.openshift.io/ibgu-<stage>-failed
cluster labels are updated properly after performing troubleshooting or recovery steps on the managed clusters. This ensures that the TALM continues to manage the image-based upgrade for the cluster.
15.4.6.1. Collecting logs
You can use the oc adm must-gather
CLI to collect information for debugging and troubleshooting.
Procedure
Collect data about the Operators by running the following command:
$ oc adm must-gather \ --dest-dir=must-gather/tmp \ --image=$(oc -n openshift-lifecycle-agent get deployment.apps/lifecycle-agent-controller-manager -o jsonpath='{.spec.template.spec.containers[?(@.name == "manager")].image}') \ --image=quay.io/konveyor/oadp-must-gather:latest \// 1 --image=quay.io/openshift/origin-must-gather:latest 2
15.4.6.2. AbortFailed or FinalizeFailed error
- Issue
During the finalize stage or when you stop the process at the
Prep
stage, Lifecycle Agent cleans up the following resources:- Stateroot that is no longer required
- Precaching resources
- OADP CRs
-
ImageBasedUpgrade
CR
If the Lifecycle Agent fails to perform the above steps, it transitions to the
AbortFailed
orFinalizeFailed
states. The condition message and log show which steps failed.Example error message
message: failed to delete all the backup CRs. Perform cleanup manually then add 'lca.openshift.io/manual-cleanup-done' annotation to ibu CR to transition back to Idle observedGeneration: 5 reason: AbortFailed status: "False" type: Idle
- Resolution
- Inspect the logs to determine why the failure occurred.
To prompt Lifecycle Agent to retry the cleanup, add the
lca.openshift.io/manual-cleanup-done
annotation to theImageBasedUpgrade
CR.After observing this annotation, Lifecycle Agent retries the cleanup and, if it is successful, the
ImageBasedUpgrade
stage transitions toIdle
.If the cleanup fails again, you can manually clean up the resources.
15.4.6.2.1. Cleaning up stateroot manually
- Issue
-
Stopping at the
Prep
stage, Lifecycle Agent cleans up the new stateroot. When finalizing after a successful upgrade or a rollback, Lifecycle Agent cleans up the old stateroot. If this step fails, it is recommended that you inspect the logs to determine why the failure occurred. - Resolution
Check if there are any existing deployments in the stateroot by running the following command:
$ ostree admin status
If there are any, clean up the existing deployment by running the following command:
$ ostree admin undeploy <index_of_deployment>
After cleaning up all the deployments of the stateroot, wipe the stateroot directory by running the following commands:
WarningEnsure that the booted deployment is not in this stateroot.
$ stateroot="<stateroot_to_delete>"
$ unshare -m /bin/sh -c "mount -o remount,rw /sysroot && rm -rf /sysroot/ostree/deploy/${stateroot}"
15.4.6.2.2. Cleaning up OADP resources manually
- Issue
-
Automatic cleanup of OADP resources can fail due to connection issues between Lifecycle Agent and the S3 backend. By restoring the connection and adding the
lca.openshift.io/manual-cleanup-done
annotation, the Lifecycle Agent can successfully cleanup backup resources. - Resolution
Check the backend connectivity by running the following command:
$ oc get backupstoragelocations.velero.io -n openshift-adp
Example output
NAME PHASE LAST VALIDATED AGE DEFAULT dataprotectionapplication-1 Available 33s 8d true
-
Remove all backup resources and then add the
lca.openshift.io/manual-cleanup-done
annotation to theImageBasedUpgrade
CR.
15.4.6.3. LVM Storage volume contents not restored
When LVM Storage is used to provide dynamic persistent volume storage, LVM Storage might not restore the persistent volume contents if it is configured incorrectly.
15.4.6.3.1. Missing LVM Storage-related fields in Backup CR
- Issue
Your
Backup
CRs might be missing fields that are needed to restore your persistent volumes. You can check for events in your application pod to determine if you have this issue by running the following:$ oc describe pod <your_app_name>
Example output showing missing LVM Storage-related fields in Backup CR
Events: Type Reason Age From Message ---- ------ ---- ---- ------- Warning FailedScheduling 58s (x2 over 66s) default-scheduler 0/1 nodes are available: pod has unbound immediate PersistentVolumeClaims. preemption: 0/1 nodes are available: 1 Preemption is not helpful for scheduling..

- Resolution
You must include
logicalvolumes.topolvm.io
in the applicationBackup
CR. Without this resource, the application restores its persistent volume claims and persistent volume manifests correctly, however, thelogicalvolume
associated with this persistent volume is not restored properly after pivot.Example Backup CR
apiVersion: velero.io/v1 kind: Backup metadata: labels: velero.io/storage-location: default name: small-app namespace: openshift-adp spec: includedNamespaces: - test includedNamespaceScopedResources: - secrets - persistentvolumeclaims - deployments - statefulsets includedClusterScopedResources: 1 - persistentVolumes - volumesnapshotcontents - logicalvolumes.topolvm.io
- 1
- To restore the persistent volumes for your application, you must configure this section as shown.
15.4.6.3.2. Missing LVM Storage-related fields in Restore CR
- Issue
The expected resources for the applications are restored but the persistent volume contents are not preserved after upgrading.
List the persistent volumes for you applications by running the following command before pivot:
$ oc get pv,pvc,logicalvolumes.topolvm.io -A
Example output before pivot
NAME CAPACITY ACCESS MODES RECLAIM POLICY STATUS CLAIM STORAGECLASS REASON AGE persistentvolume/pvc-1234 1Gi RWO Retain Bound default/pvc-db lvms-vg1 4h45m NAMESPACE NAME STATUS VOLUME CAPACITY ACCESS MODES STORAGECLASS AGE default persistentvolumeclaim/pvc-db Bound pvc-1234 1Gi RWO lvms-vg1 4h45m NAMESPACE NAME AGE logicalvolume.topolvm.io/pvc-1234 4h45m
List the persistent volumes for you applications by running the following command after pivot:
$ oc get pv,pvc,logicalvolumes.topolvm.io -A
Example output after pivot
NAME CAPACITY ACCESS MODES RECLAIM POLICY STATUS CLAIM STORAGECLASS REASON AGE persistentvolume/pvc-1234 1Gi RWO Delete Bound default/pvc-db lvms-vg1 19s NAMESPACE NAME STATUS VOLUME CAPACITY ACCESS MODES STORAGECLASS AGE default persistentvolumeclaim/pvc-db Bound pvc-1234 1Gi RWO lvms-vg1 19s NAMESPACE NAME AGE logicalvolume.topolvm.io/pvc-1234 18s
- Resolution
The reason for this issue is that the
logicalvolume
status is not preserved in theRestore
CR. This status is important because it is required for Velero to reference the volumes that must be preserved after pivoting. You must include the following fields in the applicationRestore
CR:Example Restore CR
apiVersion: velero.io/v1 kind: Restore metadata: name: sample-vote-app namespace: openshift-adp labels: velero.io/storage-location: default annotations: lca.openshift.io/apply-wave: "3" spec: backupName: sample-vote-app restorePVs: true 1 restoreStatus: 2 includedResources: - logicalvolumes
15.4.6.4. Debugging failed Backup and Restore CRs
- Issue
- The backup or restoration of artifacts failed.
- Resolution
You can debug
Backup
andRestore
CRs and retrieve logs with the Velero CLI tool. The Velero CLI tool provides more detailed information than the OpenShift CLI tool.Describe the
Backup
CR that contains errors by running the following command:$ oc exec -n openshift-adp velero-7c87d58c7b-sw6fc -c velero -- ./velero describe backup -n openshift-adp backup-acm-klusterlet --details
Describe the
Restore
CR that contains errors by running the following command:$ oc exec -n openshift-adp velero-7c87d58c7b-sw6fc -c velero -- ./velero describe restore -n openshift-adp restore-acm-klusterlet --details
Download the backed up resources to a local directory by running the following command:
$ oc exec -n openshift-adp velero-7c87d58c7b-sw6fc -c velero -- ./velero backup download -n openshift-adp backup-acm-klusterlet -o ~/backup-acm-klusterlet.tar.gz
