Chapter 2. 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 your subscription management configuration for the rhsm_release parameter. If this parameter is not set, add this parameter and set the parameter to 8.2:

   parameter_defaults:
     RhsmVars:
       …​
       rhsm_username: "myusername"
       rhsm_password: "p@55w0rd!"
       rhsm_org_id: "1234567"
       rhsm_pool_ids: "1a85f9223e3d5e43013e3d6e8ff506fd"
       rhsm_method: "portal"
       rhsm_release: "8.2"

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 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 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.2 on all nodes:

   $ cat > ~/set_release.yaml <<'EOF'
   - hosts: all
     gather_facts: false
     tasks:
       - name: set release to 8.2
         command: subscription-manager release --set=8.2
         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 TUS repositories, change the relevant repositories to the TUS versions:

   parameter_defaults:
     RhsmVars:
       rhsm_repos:
         - rhel-8-for-x86_64-baseos-tus-rpms
         - rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-tus-rpms
         - rhel-8-for-x86_64-highavailability-tus-rpms
         - ansible-2.9-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms
         - advanced-virt-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms
         - openstack-16.1-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 from the default overcloud name of overcloud, set the name of your overcloud by using the --plan option.

7. Create a playbook that contains a task to set the repositories to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.2 TUS on all nodes:

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

8. Run the change_tus.yaml playbook:

   $ ansible-playbook -i ~/inventory.yaml -f 25 ~/change_tus.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 the rhsm_repos parameter is using the Red Hat OpenStack Platform 16.0 and Ansible 2.8 repositories, change the repository to the correct versions:

   parameter_defaults:
     RhsmVars:
       rhsm_repos:
         - rhel-8-for-x86_64-baseos-tus-rpms
         - rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-tus-rpms
         - rhel-8-for-x86_64-highavailability-tus-rpms
         - ansible-2.9-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms
         - advanced-virt-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms
         - openstack-16.1-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 from the default overcloud name of overcloud, set the name of your overcloud by using the --plan option.

7. Create a playbook that contains a task to set the repositories to Red Hat OpenStack Platform 16.1 on all nodes:

   $ cat > ~/update_rhosp_repos.yaml <<'EOF'
   - hosts: all
     gather_facts: false
     tasks:
       - name: change osp repos
         command: subscription-manager repos --disable=openstack-16-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms --enable=openstack-16.1-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 Red Hat OpenStack Platform 16.1 on all 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-16.1-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 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 2.0 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:2.0
         command: dnf module enable -y container-tools:2.0
         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 16.1 for each rule set:

   parameter_defaults:
     ContainerImagePrepare:
     - push_destination: true
       set:
         …​
         tag: '16.1'
       tag_from_label: '{version}-{release}'

1. 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 file.

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"

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