11장. Upgrading the overcloud

Procedure

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

2. Source the stackrc undercloud credentials file:

   $ source ~/stackrc

3. Run the overcloud upgrade. Choose one of the following upgrade methods based on your specific environment:

   • If you do not have a DCN or multi-cell deployment that includes ML2/OVN, upgrade RHOSP on all nodes in your main stack:

     1. Upgrade RHOSP on all nodes in your main stack:

        $ openstack overcloud upgrade run --yes --stack <stack> --debug --limit allovercloud,undercloud --playbook all

        중요

        Do not modify the --limit option. You must upgrade all nodes in the stack at once to avoid workload disruption. For more information about the importance of upgrading all of your overcloud nodes at the same time, see The importance of upgrading Red Hat OpenStack Platform on all overcloud nodes at once.

        • Replace <stack> with the name of the overcloud stack that you want to upgrade the nodes on.

          Repeat this step for each stack in your RHOSP deployment.

   • If you have a DCN or multi-cell deployment that includes ML2/OVN, complete the following steps:

     1. Upgrade the OVN containers and all host packages on each stack. For both DCN and multi-cell deployments, you must upgrade the central stack and control stack first, respectively:

        $ openstack overcloud upgrade run --stack <stack> --tags setup_packages,ovn --limit allovercloud --yes

        • Replace <stack> with the name of the stack you are upgrading.

          중요

          After you run the RHOSP upgrade on the central or control stack, the OVN DBs are migrated from a Pacemaker deployment to an Ansible-controlled cluster. As a result, the endpoint that the OVN controllers connect to changes. This connection is updated during the RHOSP upgrade on each additional stack. Depending on the size of your environment, some stacks might be updated later, which can result in a data plane outage. To avoid this issue, update the connection to use the previous endpoint and new endpoint at the same time. The following example shows the workaround for a multi-cell environment. The workaround is the same for DCN environments that include OVN. Ensure that you export the overcloud-export.yaml file first:

          $ cat <<'EOF' > ~/ovn_workaround.yaml
          # Playbook
          - become: true
            hosts: '{{ ovn_compute_role }}'

     2. Verify that the ovn-controller is updated on all overcloud nodes:

        $ sudo podman ps | grep ovn_controller

        Sample output

        5ddc21ef9056  undercloud-0.ctlplane.redhat.local:8787/rh-osbs/rhosp17-openstack-ovn-controller:17.1_20230905.1

     3. Upgrade the service containers and update the host packages on each stack, starting with the central stack or control stack:

        $ openstack overcloud upgrade run --stack <stack> --skip-tags ovn --limit allovercloud --yes

        참고

        To avoid a long maintenance window, you can run the upgrade only on the CellController role in your cell stack first, and then run the upgrade on all the nodes in the cell stack in the next maintenance window. For example:

        First maintenance window:

        $ openstack overcloud upgrade run --stack AZ2 --skip-tags ovn --limit CellController --yes

        Second maintenance window:

        $ openstack overcloud upgrade run --stack AZ2 --skip-tags ovn --limit allovercloud --yes
