Upgrading SPSS Modeler
A project administrator can upgrade the SPSS Modeler service on IBM® Cloud Pak for Data.
Before you begin
Required role: To complete this task, you must be an administrator of the project (namespace) where SPSS Modeler is installed.
Before you upgrade SPSS Modeler, ensure that:
- The Cloud Pak for Data control plane is already upgraded on your Red Hat® OpenShift® cluster. For details, see Upgrading IBM Cloud Pak for Data.
- A cluster administrator has completed the steps in Preparing to upgrade SPSS Modeler.
- SPSS Modeler is backed up. For details, see Backing up and restoring SPSS Modeler.
- The cluster meets the minimum requirements for SPSS Modeler. For details, see System requirements for services.
- You completed the steps in Preparing to install and upgrade services.
If you are upgrading multiple services on your cluster, you must run the upgrades one at a time and wait until the upgrade completes before upgrading another service. You cannot run the upgrades in parallel.
./cpd-cli upgrade --help
Procedure
- Complete the appropriate steps to upgrade SPSS Modeler on your environment:
- Verifying that the upgrade completed successfully
- Checking for available patches
- Complete the tasks listed in What to do next
Upgrading on clusters connected to the internet
From your installation node:
- Change to the directory where you placed the Cloud Pak for Data command-line interface and the repo.yaml file.
- Log in to your Red Hat OpenShift cluster as a project
administrator:
oc login OpenShift_URL:port
- Run the
following command to see a preview of what will change when you upgrade the
service.Important: If you are using the internal Red Hat OpenShift registry and you are using the default self-signed certificate, specify the
--insecure-skip-tls-verify
flag to prevent x509 errors../cpd-cli upgrade \ --repo ./repo.yaml \ --assembly spss-modeler \ --arch Cluster_architecture \ --namespace Project \ --storageclass Storage_class_name \ --transfer-image-to Registry_location \ --cluster-pull-prefix Registry_from_cluster \ --ask-pull-registry-credentials \ --ask-push-registry-credentials \ --latest-dependency \ --dry-run
Important: By default, this command gets the latest assembly. If you want to upgrade to a specific version of SPSS Modeler, add the following line to your command after the--assembly
flag:--version Assembly_version \
The
--latest-dependency
flag gets the latest version of the dependent assemblies. If you remove the--latest-dependency
flag, the installer will either leave the dependent assemblies at the current version or get the minimum version of the dependent assemblies.Ensure that you use the same flags that your cluster administrator used when they completed Preparing to upgrade SPSS Modeler. If your cluster administrator used the
--version
flag, ensure that you specify the same version of the assembly.Replace the following values:
Variable Replace with Assembly_version The version of SPSS Modeler that you want to install. The assembly versions are listed in System requirements for services.Cluster_architecture Specify the architecture of your cluster hardware: - For x86-64 hardware, remove this flag or specify x86_64
- For POWER hardware, specify ppc64le
Project Use the value provided by your cluster administrator. You should have obtained this information when you completed Preparing to install and upgrade services. Storage_class_name Use the value provided by your cluster administrator. You should have obtained this information when you completed Preparing to install and upgrade services. Refresh 2 or later If you are using the 3.5.2 version of the
cpd-cli
, remove the--storageclass
flag from your command. Thecpd-cli upgrade
command uses the storage class that was specified during installation.Registry_location Use the value provided by your cluster administrator. You should have obtained this information when you completed Preparing to install and upgrade services. Registry_from_cluster Use the value provided by your cluster administrator. You should have obtained this information when you completed Preparing to install and upgrade services. - Rerun the previous command without the
--dry-run
flag to upgrade the service.
Upgrading on air-gapped clusters
From your installation node:
- Change to the directory where you placed the Cloud Pak for Data command-line interface.
- Log in to your Red Hat OpenShift cluster as a project
administrator:
oc login OpenShift_URL:port
- Run
the following command to see a preview of what will change when you upgrade the
service.Important: If you are using the internal Red Hat OpenShift registry:
- Do not specify the
--ask-pull-registry-credentials
parameter. - If you are using the default self-signed certificate, specify the
--insecure-skip-tls-verify
flag to prevent x509 errors.
./cpd-cli upgrade \ --assembly spss-modeler \ --arch Cluster_architecture \ --namespace Project \ --storageclass Storage_class_name \ --cluster-pull-prefix Registry_from_cluster \ --ask-pull-registry-credentials \ --load-from Image_directory_location \ --latest-dependency \ --dry-run
Note: If the assembly was downloaded using thedelta-images
command, remove the--latest-dependency
flag from the command. If you don't remove the--latest-dependency
flag you will get an error indicating that the flag cannot be used.Ask your cluster administrator whether they specified the
--latest-dependency
flag when they completed Preparing to upgrade SPSS Modeler. If they ran theadm
command with the--latest-dependency
flag, you must also run theinstall
command with the flag.Replace the following values:
Variable Replace with Cluster_architecture Specify the architecture of your cluster hardware: - For x86-64 hardware, remove this flag or specify x86_64
- For POWER hardware, specify ppc64le
Project Use the value provided by your cluster administrator. You should have obtained this information when you completed Preparing to install and upgrade services. Storage_class_name Use the value provided by your cluster administrator. You should have obtained this information when you completed Preparing to install and upgrade services. Refresh 2 or later If you are using the 3.5.2 version of the
cpd-cli
, remove the--storageclass
flag from your command. Thecpd-cli upgrade
command uses the storage class that was specified during installation.Registry_from_cluster Use the value provided by your cluster administrator. You should have obtained this information when you completed Preparing to install and upgrade services. Image_directory_location Use the value provided by your cluster administrator. You should have obtained this information when you completed Preparing to install and upgrade services. - Do not specify the
- Rerun the previous command without the
--dry-run
flag to upgrade the service.
Verifying that the upgrade completed successfully
From your installation node:
- Run the following
command:
./cpd-cli status \ --assembly spss-modeler \ --namespace Project
Replace Project with the value you used in the preceding commands.
- If the upgrade completed successfully, the status of the assembly and the modules in the assembly is Ready.
- If the upgrade failed, contact IBM Support for assistance.
Checking for available patches
Determine whether there are any patches available the version of SPSS Modeler that you installed:
- Clusters connected to the internet
- Run the following command to check for
patches:
./cpd-cli status \ --repo ./repo.yaml \ --namespace Project \ --assembly spss-modeler \ --patches \ --available-updates
- Air-gapped clusters
- See the list of Available patches for SPSS Modeler.
If you need to apply patches to the service, follow the guidance in Applying patches.
What to do next
The service is ready to use. See Creating SPSS Modeler flows.
