15.2. Upgrading the overcloud images

Procedure

1. Check the list of RPMs that you installed and ensure that there are no RHOSP 16.2 or legacy 17.1 images, for example, rhosp-director-images-x86_64-17.1:

   $ rpm -qa | egrep "rhosp-director-images-*-16.2|rhosp-director-images-x86_64-17.1"

   If the list displays these images, remove them by running the following command:

   $ sudo dnf -y remove rhosp-director-images-*-16.2 rhosp-director-images-x86_64-17.1

2. Remove any existing images from the images directory on the stack user’s home (/home/stack/images):

   $ rm -rf ~/images/*

3. Extract the archives:

   $ cd ~/images
   $ for i in /usr/share/rhosp-director-images/overcloud-hardened-uefi-full.tar /usr/share/rhosp-director-images/ironic-python-agent-latest-17.1.tar; do tar -xvf $i; done
   $ cd ~

4. Import the images into director:

   (undercloud) [stack@director images]$ openstack overcloud image upload --image-path /home/stack/images/ --update-existing

   The command completes the following tasks:

   • Converts the image format from QCOW to RAW.
   • Provides status updates about the upload of the image.
