This article summarizes the steps required to upgrade from the ussuri release to the victoria release of openstack.
Prerequisites:
- This documents expects that your cloud is deployed with a recent ussuri tag of the ntnuopenstack repository.
- You have a recent mysql backup in case things go south.
- If you want to do a rolling upgrade, the following key should be set in hiera long enough in advance that all hosts have had an puppet-run to apply it:
nova::upgrade_level_compute: 'train'
- When the upgrade is finished - set this key to 'ussuri'
The recommended order to upgrade the services are listed below:
Keystone
This is the zero downtime approach
Before you begin
- Login to a mysql node, start the mysql CLI, and run
set global log_bin_trust_function_creators=1;
Upgrade-steps (start with a single node):
- Set
apache::service_ensure: 'stopped'
in hiera for the node that you are upgrading - Do one of these two alternatives:
- Run puppet with the victoria modules/tags, run apt-get dist-upgrade, and run puppet again
- Reinstall the node with the victoria modules/tags
- Run
keystone-manage doctor
and ensure nothing is wrong - Run
keystone-manage db_sync --expand
- Returns nothing
- Run
keystone-manage db_sync --migrate
- Returns nothing
- At this point, you may restart apache2 on this node
- Remove the
apache::service_ensure: 'stopped'
previously set in hiera.
- Remove the
- Upgrade keystone on the other nodes, one at a time
- Basically run step 1, 2 and 6 on the other nodes
- When all nodes are upgraded, perform the final DB sync
keystone-manage db_sync --contract
Glance
To upgrade glance without any downtime you would need to follow the following procedure:
- Select which glance-server to upgrade first.
- In the node-specific hiera for this host you should set:
glance::api::enabled: false
followed by a puppet-run. This would stop the glance-api service on the host.
- In the node-specific hiera for this host you should set:
- Do one of these two alternatives:
- Run puppet with the victoria modules/tags, run apt-get dist-upgrade, and run puppet again
- Reinstall the node with the victoria modules/tags
- Run
glance-manage db expand
- Run
glance-manage db migrate
- Remove the
glance::api::enable: false
from the node-specific hiera, and run puppet again. This would re-start the glance api-server on this host.- Test that this api-server works.
- Upgrade the rest of the glance hosts (ie; step 2 for each of the remaining glance hosts)
- Run
glance-manage db contract
on one of the glance-nodes.
Cinder
To upgrade cinder without any downtime, follow this procedure
- Add the following three lines to the node-file of the first node you would like to upgrade:
apache::service_ensure: 'stopped'
cinder::scheduler::enabled: false
cinder::volume::enabled: false
- Do one of these two alternatives:
- Run puppet with the victoria modules/tags, run apt-get dist-upgrade, and run puppet again
- Reinstall the node with the victoria modules/tags
- Run
cinder-manage db sync && cinder-manage db online_data_migrations
- Remove the lines added at step 1, re-run puppet, and test that the upgraded cinder version works.
- Perfom step 2-5 for the rest of the cinder nodes
