Chapter 3. Updating RPMs manually

Procedure

1. Update the MicroShift RPMs by running the following command:

   $ sudo dnf update microshift

2. Restart MicroShift by running the following command:

   $ sudo systemctl restart microshift

   Note

   The greenboot system health check runs on this update type, but does not perform any actions. If the update fails, an error message appears with the instruction to check the logs.

Procedure

1. For all lifecycles, enable the repository for the release you want to update to by running the following command:

   $ sudo subscription-manager repos \
       --enable rhocp-4.21-for-rhel-9-$(uname -m)-rpms \
       --enable fast-datapath-for-rhel-9-$(uname -m)-rpms

2. For extended support (EUS) releases, also enable the EUS repositories by running the following command:

   $ sudo subscription-manager repos \
       --enable rhel-9-for-$(uname -m)-appstream-eus-rpms \
       --enable rhel-9-for-$(uname -m)-baseos-eus-rpms

3. Avoid unintended future updates into an unsupported configuration by locking your operating system version with the following command:

   $ sudo subscription-manager release --set=9.6

4. Update the MicroShift RPMs by running the following command:

   $ sudo dnf update microshift

5. Reboot the host to apply updates by running the following command:

   $ sudo systemctl reboot

   Note

   The system health check runs on this update type, but does not perform any actions. If the update fails, an error message appears with the instruction to check the logs.

Verification

1. Check if the health checks exited with a successful boot by running the following command:

   $ sudo systemctl status greenboot-healthcheck

2. Check the health check logs by running the following command:

   $ sudo journalctl -u greenboot-healthcheck
