Upgrading IBM Fusion HCI System services

You can choose to upgrade the installed services from the IBM Fusion HCI System user interface.

Before you begin

If you choose to upgrade IBM Fusion HCI System services using the Enterprise Registry, ensure that you mirror the images to your Enterprise Registry before you begin the upgrade. For more information, see End-to-end mirroring images of IBM Fusion HCI System and its services to the enterprise registry.

About this task

Important:
  • For an offline installation, ensure that you have completed mirroring and updated ImageContentSourcePolicy/ImageDigestMirrorSet for deployed services. Otherwise, you see catalog source pods failing with an imagepullbackoffs error and no upgrade button shows for services.
  • Before upgrading OADP or AMQ version for an offline install, ensure that the catalogsource pods are in running state.
You can view the availability of an upgrade in the following user interface pages:
  • In the IBM Fusion user interface:
    • Click the bell icon and view notifications in System notifications.
    • Notification banner on the Services page.
    • Settings > Upgrade page.
