Deployers can run the upgrade steps manually. Manual upgrades are useful for scoping the changes in the upgrade process (for example, in very large deployments with strict SLA requirements), or performing other upgrade automations beyond what is provided by OpenStack-Ansible.
The steps detailed here match those performed by the run-upgrade.sh
script. You can safely run these steps multiple times.
Ensure that your OpenStack-Ansible code is on the latest Ocata tagged release.
# git checkout 15.1.4
Define these variables to reduce typing when running the remaining upgrade tasks. Because these environments variables are shortcuts, this step is optional. If you prefer, you can reference the files directly during the upgrade.
From the openstack-ansible
root directory, run the following commands:
# export MAIN_PATH="$(pwd)"
# export SCRIPTS_PATH="${MAIN_PATH}/scripts"
# export UPGRADE_PLAYBOOKS="${SCRIPTS_PATH}/upgrade-utilities/playbooks"
Bootstrap Ansible again to ensure that all OpenStack-Ansible role dependencies are in place before you run playbooks from the Ocata release.
# ${SCRIPTS_PATH}/bootstrap-ansible.sh
Change to the playbooks directory so that the OpenStack-Ansible dynamic inventory is found automatically.
# cd playbooks
Before starting with the upgraded version, perform preflight checks to ensure your environment is stable. If any of those checks fail, the upgrade should stop to let the deployer chose what to do.
Some configurations have changed, so purge old facts before the upgrade. For more information, see ansible_fact_cleanup.yml.
# openstack-ansible "${UPGRADE_PLAYBOOKS}/ansible_fact_cleanup.yml"
The user configuration files in the /etc/openstack_deploy/
directory and
the environment layout in the /etc/openstack_deploy/env.d
directory have
new name values added in Ocata. Update the files as
follows. For more information, see deploy-config-changes.yml.
# openstack-ansible "${UPGRADE_PLAYBOOKS}/deploy-config-changes.yml"
Ocata introduces new user secrets to the stack. These secrets are populated automatically when you run the following playbook. For more information, see user-secrets-adjustment.yml.
# openstack-ansible "${UPGRADE_PLAYBOOKS}/user-secrets-adjustment.yml"
The presence of the pip.conf
file can cause build failures during the
upgrade to Ocata. This playbook removes the
pip.conf
file on all the physical servers and on the repo containers.
For more information, see pip-conf-removal.yml.
# openstack-ansible "${UPGRADE_PLAYBOOKS}/pip-conf-removal.yml"
Before installing the infrastructure and OpenStack, update the host machines.
# openstack-ansible setup-hosts.yml --limit '!galera_all'
This command is the same setting up hosts on a new installation. The
galera_all
host group is excluded to prevent reconfiguration and
restarting of any Galera containers.
Update the Galera container configuration independently.
# openstack-ansible lxc-containers-create.yml -e \
'lxc_container_allow_restarts=false' --limit galera_all
This command is a subset of the host setup playbook, limited to the
galera_all
host group. The configuration of those containers is
updated but a restart for any changes to take effect is deferred to another
playbook (see the next section).
Restart containers one at a time, ensuring that each is started, responding, and synchronized with the other nodes in the cluster before moving on to the next. This step allows the LXC container configuration that you applied earlier to take effect, ensuring that the containers are restarted in a controlled fashion.
# openstack-ansible "${UPGRADE_PLAYBOOKS}/galera-cluster-rolling-restart.yml"
Install and update any new or changed HAProxy service configurations.
# openstack-ansible haproxy-install.yml
Update the configuration of the repository servers and build new packages required by the Ocata release.
# openstack-ansible repo-install.yml
Upgrade MariaDB to the most recent 10.x minor release across the cluster.
# openstack-ansible galera-install.yml -e 'galera_upgrade=true'
The following commands perform all of the steps from the setup-infrastructure
playbook, except for repo-install.yml
, haproxyinstall.yml
, and
galera-install.yml
which you ran earlier.
Running these playbook applies the relevant Ocata
settings and packages.
For certain versions of Newton, you must upgrade the RabbitMQ service.
For more information, see setup-infrastructure.yml.
# openstack-ansible unbound-install.yml
# openstack-ansible memcached-install.yml
# openstack-ansible rabbitmq-install.yml -e 'rabbitmq_upgrade=true'
# openstack-ansible etcd-install.yml
# openstack-ansible utility-install.yml
# openstack-ansible rsyslog-install.yml
Flush all of the caches in Memcached. For more information, see memcached-flush.yml.
# openstack-ansible "${UPGRADE_PLAYBOOKS}/memcached-flush.yml"
Upgrade the OpenStack components with the same installation playbook, without any additional options.
# openstack-ansible setup-openstack.yml
