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 install RHACS. - There are manual steps for each version upgrade that must be followed, for example, from version 3.74 to version 4.0, and from version 4.0 to version 4.1. Therefore, Red Hat recommends upgrading first from 3.74 to 4.0, then from 4.0 to 4.1, then 4.1 to 4.2, until the selected version is installed. For full functionality, Red Hat recommends upgrading to the most recent version.
To upgrade RHACS to the latest version, perform the following steps:
3.1. Backing up the Central database
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
read
permission for all resources of Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes. The Analyst system role hasread
permissions for all resources. -
You have installed the
roxctl
CLI. -
You have configured the
ROX_API_TOKEN
and theROX_CENTRAL_ADDRESS
environment variables.
Procedure
Run the backup command:
$ roxctl -e "$ROX_CENTRAL_ADDRESS" central backup

3.4. Upgrading all secured clusters
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.
- For information about troubleshooting problems with the automatic cluster upgrader, see Troubleshooting the cluster upgrader.
- 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.
3.4.1. Updating other images
You must update the sensor, collector and compliance images on each secured cluster when not using automatic upgrades.
If you are using Kubernetes, use kubectl
instead of oc
for the commands listed in this procedure.
Procedure
Update the Sensor image:
$ oc -n stackrox set image deploy/sensor sensor=registry.redhat.io/advanced-cluster-security/rhacs-main-rhel8:4.5.4 1
- 1
- If you use Kubernetes, enter
kubectl
instead ofoc
.
Update the Compliance image:
$ oc -n stackrox set image ds/collector compliance=registry.redhat.io/advanced-cluster-security/rhacs-main-rhel8:4.5.4 1
- 1
- If you use Kubernetes, enter
kubectl
instead ofoc
.
Update the Collector image:
$ oc -n stackrox set image ds/collector collector=registry.redhat.io/advanced-cluster-security/rhacs-collector-rhel8:4.5.4 1
- 1
- If you use Kubernetes, enter
kubectl
instead ofoc
.
NoteIf you are using the collector slim image, run the following command instead:
$ oc -n stackrox set image ds/collector collector=registry.redhat.io/advanced-cluster-security/rhacs-collector-slim-rhel8:{rhacs-version}
Update the admission control image:
$ oc -n stackrox set image deploy/admission-control admission-control=registry.redhat.io/advanced-cluster-security/rhacs-main-rhel8:4.5.4
If you have installed RHACS on Red Hat OpenShift by using the roxctl
CLI, you need to migrate the security context constraints (SCCs).
For more information, see "Migrating SCCs during the manual upgrade" in the "Additional resources" section.
Next steps
Additional resources
3.4.2. Migrating SCCs during the manual upgrade
By migrating the security context constraints (SCCs) during the manual upgrade by using roxctl
CLI, you can seamlessly transition the Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes (RHACS) services to use the Red Hat OpenShift SCCs, ensuring compatibility and optimal security configurations across Central and all secured clusters.
Procedure
List all of the RHACS services that are deployed on Central and all secured clusters:
$ oc -n stackrox describe pods | grep 'openshift.io/scc\|^Name:'
Example output
Name: admission-control-6f4dcc6b4c-2phwd openshift.io/scc: stackrox-admission-control #... Name: central-575487bfcb-sjdx8 openshift.io/scc: stackrox-central Name: central-db-7c7885bb-6bgbd openshift.io/scc: stackrox-central-db Name: collector-56nkr openshift.io/scc: stackrox-collector #... Name: scanner-68fc55b599-f2wm6 openshift.io/scc: stackrox-scanner Name: scanner-68fc55b599-fztlh #... Name: sensor-84545f86b7-xgdwf openshift.io/scc: stackrox-sensor #...
In this example, you can see that each pod has its own custom SCC, which is specified through the
openshift.io/scc
field.Add the required roles and role bindings to use the Red Hat OpenShift SCCs instead of the RHACS custom SCCs.
To add the required roles and role bindings to use the Red Hat OpenShift SCCs for the Central cluster, complete the following steps:
Create a file named
update-central.yaml
that defines the role and role binding resources by using the following content:Example 3.1. Example YAML file

3.5. Enabling RHCOS node scanning
If you use OpenShift Container Platform, you can enable scanning of Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) nodes for vulnerabilities by using Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes (RHACS).
Prerequisites
- For scanning RHCOS node hosts of the Secured cluster, you must have installed Secured cluster on OpenShift Container Platform 4.11 or later. For information about supported platforms and architecture, see the Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes Support Matrix. For life cycle support information for RHACS, see the Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes Support Policy.
Procedure
Run one of the following commands to update the compliance container.
For a default compliance container with metrics disabled, run the following command:
$ oc -n stackrox patch daemonset/collector -p '{"spec":{"template":{"spec":{"containers":[{"name":"compliance","env":[{"name":"ROX_METRICS_PORT","value":"disabled"},{"name":"ROX_NODE_SCANNING_ENDPOINT","value":"127.0.0.1:8444"},{"name":"ROX_NODE_SCANNING_INTERVAL","value":"4h"},{"name":"ROX_NODE_SCANNING_INTERVAL_DEVIATION","value":"24m"},{"name":"ROX_NODE_SCANNING_MAX_INITIAL_WAIT","value":"5m"},{"name":"ROX_RHCOS_NODE_SCANNING","value":"true"},{"name":"ROX_CALL_NODE_INVENTORY_ENABLED","value":"true"}]}]}}}}'
For a compliance container with Prometheus metrics enabled, run the following command:
$ oc -n stackrox patch daemonset/collector -p '{"spec":{"template":{"spec":{"containers":[{"name":"compliance","env":[{"name":"ROX_METRICS_PORT","value":":9091"},{"name":"ROX_NODE_SCANNING_ENDPOINT","value":"127.0.0.1:8444"},{"name":"ROX_NODE_SCANNING_INTERVAL","value":"4h"},{"name":"ROX_NODE_SCANNING_INTERVAL_DEVIATION","value":"24m"},{"name":"ROX_NODE_SCANNING_MAX_INITIAL_WAIT","value":"5m"},{"name":"ROX_RHCOS_NODE_SCANNING","value":"true"},{"name":"ROX_CALL_NODE_INVENTORY_ENABLED","value":"true"}]}]}}}}'
Update the Collector DaemonSet (DS) by taking the following steps:
Add new volume mounts to Collector DS by running the following command:

3.6. Removing Central-attached PV after upgrading to version 4.1 and later
Kubernetes and OpenShift Container Platform do not delete persistent volumes (PV) automatically. When you upgrade RHACS from earlier versions, the Central PV called stackrox-db
remains mounted. However, in RHACS 4.1, Central does not need the previously attached PV anymore.
The PV has data and persistent files used by earlier RHACS versions. You can use the PV to roll back to an earlier version before RHACS 4.1. Or, if you have a large RocksDB backup bundle for Central, you can use the PV to restore that data.
After you complete the upgrade to 4.1, you can remove the Central-attached persistent volume claim (PVC) to free up the storage. Only remove the PVC if you do not plan to roll back or restore from earlier RocksDB backups.
After removing PVC, you cannot roll back Central to an earlier version before RHACS 4.1 or restore large RocksDB backups created with RocksDB.
3.6.1. Removing Central-attached PV using the roxctl
CLI
Remove the Central-attached persistent volume claim (PVC) stackrox-db
to free up storage space.
Procedure
Run the following command:
$ oc get deployment central -n stackrox -o json | jq '(.spec.template.spec.volumes[] | select(.name=="stackrox-db"))={"name": "stackrox-db", "emptyDir": {}}' | oc apply -f -
It replaces the
stackrox-db`
entry in thespec.template.spec.volumes
to a local emptyDir.
Verification
Run the following command:
$ oc -n stackrox describe pvc stackrox-db | grep -i 'Used By' Used By: <none> 1
- 1
- Wait until you see
Used By: <none>
. It might take a few minutes.
3.7. Rolling back Central
You can roll back to a previous version of Central if the upgrade to a new version is unsuccessful.
3.7.1. Rolling back Central normally
You can roll back to a previous version of Central if upgrading Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes fails.
Prerequisites
- 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 might 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 1
- 1
- If you use Kubernetes, enter
kubectl
instead ofoc
.
3.7.2. Rolling back Central forcefully
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
- 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 commands to perform a forced rollback:
To forcefully rollback to the previously installed version:
$ oc -n stackrox rollout undo deploy/central 1
- 1
- If you use Kubernetes, enter
kubectl
instead ofoc
.
To forcefully rollback to a specific version:
Edit Central’s
ConfigMap
:$ oc -n stackrox edit configmap/central-config 1
- 1
- If you use Kubernetes, enter
kubectl
instead ofoc
.

- Specify the version that you want to roll back to.
Update the Central image version:
$ oc -n stackrox \ 1 set image deploy/central central=registry.redhat.io/advanced-cluster-security/rhacs-main-rhel8:<x.x.x.x> 2
3.8. Verifying upgrades
The updated Sensors and Collectors continue to report the latest data from each secured cluster.
The last time Sensor contacted Central is visible in the RHACS portal.
Procedure
-
In the RHACS portal, go to Platform Configuration
System Health. - Check to ensure that Sensor Upgrade shows clusters up to date with Central.
3.9. Revoking the API token
For security reasons, Red Hat recommends that you revoke the API token that you have used to complete Central database backup.
Prerequisites
- After the upgrade, you must reload the RHACS portal page and re-accept the certificate to continue using the RHACS portal.
Procedure
-
In the RHACS portal, go to Platform Configuration
Integrations. - Scroll down to the Authentication Tokens category, and click API Token.
- Select the checkbox in front of the token name that you want to revoke.
- Click Revoke.
- On the confirmation dialog box, click Confirm.
3.10. Troubleshooting the cluster upgrader
If you encounter problems when using the legacy installation method for the secured cluster and enabling the automated updates, you can try troubleshooting the problem. The following errors can be found in the clusters view when the upgrader fails.
3.10.1. Upgrader is missing permissions
Symptom
The following error is displayed in the cluster page:
Upgrader failed to execute PreflightStage of the roll-forward workflow: executing stage "Run preflight checks": preflight check "Kubernetes authorization" reported errors. This usually means that access is denied. Have you configured this Secured Cluster for automatically receiving upgrades?"
Procedure
- Ensure that the bundle for the secured cluster was generated with future upgrades enabled before clicking Download YAML file and keys.
- If possible, remove that secured cluster and generate a new bundle making sure that future upgrades are enabled.
If you cannot re-create the cluster, you can take these actions:
-
Ensure that the service account
sensor-upgrader
exists in the same namespace as Sensor. -
Ensure that a ClusterRoleBinding exists (default name:
<namespace>:upgrade-sensors
) that grants thecluster-admin
ClusterRole to thesensor-upgrader
service account.
-
Ensure that the service account
3.10.2. Upgrader cannot start due to missing image
Symptom
The following error is displayed in the cluster page:
"Upgrade initialization error: The upgrader pods have trouble pulling the new image: Error pulling image: (...) (<image_reference:tag>: not found)"
Procedure
-
Ensure that the Secured Cluster can access the registry and pull the image
<image_reference:tag>
. - Ensure that the image pull secrets are configured correctly in the secured cluster.
3.10.3. Upgrader cannot start due to an unknown reason
Symptom
The following error is displayed in the cluster page:
"Upgrade initialization error: Pod terminated: (Error)"
Procedure
- Ensure that the upgrader has enough permissions for accessing the cluster objects. For more information, see "Upgrader is missing permissions".
- Check the upgrader logs for more insights.
3.10.3.1. Obtaining upgrader logs
The logs can be accessed by running the following command:
$ kubectl -n <namespace> logs deploy/sensor-upgrader 1
- 1
- For
<namespace>
, specify the namespace in which Sensor is running.
Usually, the upgrader deployment is only running in the cluster for a short time while doing the upgrades. It is removed later, so accessing its logs using the orchestrator CLI can require proper timing.
