Patching container images

It is possible to upgrade Faspex 5 container images to the latest version within the current tag. You can do this when one or more new container images have been pushed to the same tag, for example in the case of bug and security fixes. You don't need to upgrade the Faspex 5 RPM to complete this procedure.

  1. Run the following command as root:
    faspexctl set_image_tags <patch_tag>
    Replace <patch_tag> with the correct version of the patch that you want to install. Example command to install 5.0.10.2:
    faspexctl set_image_tags 5.0.10.2

    This will check the IBM Container Registry (ICR) for more recent images associated with the current tag of your Faspex 5 environment .

  2. Verify the container images that are currently installed:
    faspexctl version
