Upgrading manually¶

Check out the Ocata release¶

Ensure that your OpenStack-Ansible code is on the latest Ocata tagged release.

# git checkout 15.1.4

Prepare the shell variables¶

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¶

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¶

Change to the playbooks directory so that the OpenStack-Ansible dynamic inventory is found automatically.

# cd playbooks

Preflight checks¶

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.

Clean up old facts¶

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"

Update configuration and environment files¶

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"

Update user secrets file¶

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"

Clean up the pip.conf file¶

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"

Upgrade hosts¶

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 Galera LXC container configuration¶

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).

Perform a controlled rolling restart of the Galera containers¶

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"

Update HAProxy configuration¶

Install and update any new or changed HAProxy service configurations.

# openstack-ansible haproxy-install.yml

Update repository servers¶

Update the configuration of the repository servers and build new packages required by the Ocata release.

# openstack-ansible repo-install.yml

Upgrade the MariaDB version¶

Upgrade MariaDB to the most recent 10.x minor release across the cluster.

# openstack-ansible galera-install.yml -e 'galera_upgrade=true'

Upgrade the infrastructure¶

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 Memcached cache¶

Flush all of the caches in Memcached. For more information, see memcached-flush.yml.

# openstack-ansible "${UPGRADE_PLAYBOOKS}/memcached-flush.yml"

Upgrade OpenStack¶

Upgrade the OpenStack components with the same installation playbook, without any additional options.

# openstack-ansible setup-openstack.yml
