Upgrading Db2 Data Management Console from Version 5.0.x to a later 5.0 refresh

An instance administrator can upgrade Db2 Data Management Console from Cloud Pak for Data Version 5.0.x to a later 5.0 refresh.

Who needs to complete this task?

Instance administrator To upgrade Db2 Data Management Console, you must be an instance administrator. An instance administrator has permission to manage software in the following projects:

The operators project for the instance

The operators for this instance of Db2 Data Management Console are installed in the operators project. In the upgrade commands, the ${PROJECT_CPD_INST_OPERATORS} environment variable refers to the operators project.

The operands project for the instance

The custom resources for the control plane and Db2 Data Management Console are installed in the operands project. In the upgrade commands, the ${PROJECT_CPD_INST_OPERANDS} environment variable refers to the operands project.

When do you need to complete this task?

Review the following options to determine whether you need to complete this task:

  • If you want to upgrade the Cloud Pak for Data control plane and one or more services at the same time, follow the process in Upgrading an instance of Cloud Pak for Data instead.
  • If you didn't upgrade Db2 Data Management Console when you upgraded the Cloud Pak for Data control plane, complete this task to upgrade Db2 Data Management Console.

    Repeat as needed If you are responsible for multiple instances of Cloud Pak for Data, you can repeat this task to upgrade more instances of Db2 Data Management Console on the cluster.

Information you need to complete this task

Review the following information before you upgrade Db2 Data Management Console:

Procedure

Complete the following tasks to upgrade Db2 Data Management Console:

  1. Upgrading the service
  2. Validating the upgrade
  3. Upgrading the service instance
  4. What to do next

Upgrading the service

Important: The Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM) objects for Db2 Data Management Console were updated when you upgraded the Cloud Pak for Data platform. The cpd-cli manage apply-olm updates all of the OLM objects in the operators project at the same time.

To upgrade Db2 Data Management Console:

  1. Log the cpd-cli in to the Red Hat® OpenShift Container Platform cluster:
    ${CPDM_OC_LOGIN}
    Remember: CPDM_OC_LOGIN is an alias for the cpd-cli manage login-to-ocp command.
  2. Update the custom resource for Db2 Data Management Console.
    cpd-cli manage apply-cr \
--components=dmc \
--release=${VERSION} \
--cpd_instance_ns=${PROJECT_CPD_INST_OPERANDS} \
--license_acceptance=true \
--upgrade=true

Validating the upgrade

Db2 Data Management Console is upgraded when the apply-cr command returns:
[SUCCESS]... The apply-cr command ran successfully

If you want to confirm that the custom resource status is Completed, you can run the cpd-cli manage get-cr-status command:

cpd-cli manage get-cr-status \
--cpd_instance_ns=${PROJECT_CPD_INST_OPERANDS} \
--components=dmc

Upgrading the service instance

The service instance is automatically upgraded when you upgrade Db2 Data Management Console.

What to do next

Db2 Data Management Console is ready to use.
