Upgrading a hybrid deployment with the Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM) user interface

Edit online

Use these instructions to upgrade an existing hybrid deployment from version 1.6.7 to 1.6.8, with the Red Hat® OpenShift® Container Platform Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM) user interface (UI).

Before you begin

  • Ensure that you complete all the steps in Preparing your cluster. Most of these steps were completed as part of your previous Netcool Operations Insight deployment.
  • Ensure that you have an adequately sized cluster. For more information, see Sizing for a hybrid deployment.
  • Configure persistent storage for your deployment. Only version 1.6.7 deployments with persistence enabled are supported for upgrade to version 1.6.8.
  • Before you upgrade to version 1.6.8, if present, remove the noi-root-ca secret by running the following command.
    oc delete secret noi-root-ca
  • Before you upgrade to version 1.6.8, if present, reverse any image overrides from the test fix of the previous release.
    1. Edit the custom resource (CR).
      oc edit noihybrid <release-name>
      Where <release-name> is the release name, for example, evtmanager.
    2. Manually remove the tag, name, and digest entries of image overrides from the helmValuesNOI section of the YAML file.

If you want to verify the origin of the catalog, then use the OLM UI and CASE installation method instead. For more information, see Upgrading hybrid Netcool Operations Insight on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform with the oc ibm-pak plug-in, Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM) UI, and Container Application Software for Enterprises (CASE).

All the necessary images for version 1.6.8 are either in the freely accessible operator repository (icr.io/cpopen), or in the IBM® Entitled Registry (cp.icr.io) for which you need an entitlement key.

To upgrade from version 1.6.7 to 1.6.8, complete the following steps.

Procedure

Upgrade on-premises Operations Management

  1. Use IBM Installation Manager to upgrade on-premises Operations Management to version 1.6.8. For more information, see Upgrading and rolling back on premises.

Upgrade the catalog source

  1. From the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform OLM UI, go to Administration > Cluster Settings. Then, go to the Configurations tab and select the OperatorHub configuration resource.
  2. Under the Sources tab, click the existing Netcool Operations Insight catalog source.
  3. Edit the catalog source YAML and replace spec.image with the Netcool Operations Insight catalog source name and image for version 1.6.8, icr.io/cpopen/ibm-operator-catalog:latest. Select Save.
  4. When you edit the YAML, ensure that the following lines are set within the spec. 
    
  updateStrategy:
    registryPoll:
      interval: 45m

Upgrade the Netcool Operations Insight operator

  1. To upgrade the operator from the OLM UI, go to Operators > Installed Operators > IBM Cloud Pak for Watson AIOps Event Manager. Go to the Subscription tab.
    • Select v1.12 in the Update channel section.
    Note: It takes a few minutes for IBM Cloud Pak for Watson™ AIOps Event Manager to install. When installed, ensure that the status of IBM Cloud Pak for Watson AIOps Event Manager is Succeeded before you proceed to the next steps.

Upgrade the Netcool Operations Insight instance

  1. From the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform OLM UI, upgrade the Netcool Operations Insight instance by going to Operators > Installed Operators and select your Project. Then select IBM Cloud Pak for Watson AIOps Event Manager.
  2. Delete the following statefulsets and wait for the associated pods to delete. 
    oc delete sts <release-name>-spark-master
oc delete sts <release-name>-spark-slave
  3. Delete the following deployment.
    Run the following command.
    oc delete deployment <release-name>-grafana
  4. Go to the All instances tab and select your instance. Edit the Netcool Operations Insight instance YAM.
    • Update spec.version: 1.6.7 to spec.version: 1.6.8.
  5. For high-availability disaster recovery hybrid deployments, ensure that the following setting is added under the metadata section on both the primary and backup deployments: 
    metadata.labels.managedByUser: "true"
  6. For high-availability disaster recovery hybrid deployments, console integrations are only installed on one of the common UIs, either the primary or the backup. Run one of the following commands on the primary or backup cluster.
    Primary cluster
    oc set env deploy/<ReleaseName>-ibm-hdm-common-ui-uiserver DR__DEPLOYMENT__TYPE=primary
    Backup cluster
    oc set env deploy/<ReleaseName>-ibm-hdm-common-ui-uiserver DR__DEPLOYMENT__TYPE=backup
  7. Select Save and wait until all pods are restarted. You can monitor progress from the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform UI.

Upgrade the Netcool Hybrid Deployment Option Integration Kit

  1. Use Installation Manager to upgrade the Netcool Hybrid Deployment Option Integration Kit.
    1. Start Installation Manager in GUI mode with the following commands. 
      cd IM_dir/eclipse
./IBMIM
      Where IM_dir is the Installation Manager Group installation directory, for example /home/netcool/IBM/InstallationManager/eclipse.
    2. From the main Installation Manager screen, select Update, and from the Update Packages window select Netcool Hybrid Deployment Option Integration Kit.
    3. Proceed through the windows, accept the license and the defaults, and enter the on-premises WebSphere® Application Server password.
      Note: When you upgrade the Hybrid Integration Kit, Installation Manager displays that the OAuth configuration is complete. However, you must reenter the Client Secret.
    4. On the window OAuth 2.0 Configuration, set Redirect URL to the URL of your cloud native Netcool Operations Insight components deployment. This URL is https://netcool-release_name.apps.fqdn/users/api/authprovider/v1/was/return
      Where
      • release_name is the name of your deployment, as specified by the value used for name (OLM UI Form view), or name in the metadata section of the noi.ibm.com_noihybrids_cr.yaml or noi.ibm.com_nois_cr.yaml files (YAML view).
      • fqdn is the cluster FQDN.
    5. On the window OAuth 2.0 Configuration, set Client ID and Client Secret to the values that were set for them in secret release_name-was-oauth-cnea-secrets when you installed the cloud native Netcool Operations Insight components. Retrieve these values by running the following commands on your cloud native Netcool Operations Insight components deployment.
      oc get secret release_name-was-oauth-cnea-secrets -o json -n namespace| grep client-secret | cut -d : -f2 | cut -d '"' -f2 | base64 -d;echo
oc get secret release_name-was-oauth-cnea-secrets -o json -n namespace | grep client-id | cut -d : -f2 | cut -d '"' -f2 | base64 -d;echo
      Where
      • release_name is the name of your deployment, as specified by the value used for name (OLM UI Form view), or name in the metadata section of the noi.ibm.com_noihybrids_cr.yaml or noi.ibm.com_nois_cr.yaml files (YAML view).
      • namespace is the name of the namespace in which the cloud native Netcool Operations Insight components are installed.
    6. Select Next and Update.
    7. Create or replace the JAZZSM_HOME/profile/config/cells/JazzSMNode01Cell/oauth20/NetcoolOAuthProvider.xml file with the following content: 
      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

  2. Restart Dashboard Application Services Hub on your Dashboard Application Services Hub on-premises installation by using the following commands. 
    cd <JazzSM_WAS_Profile>/bin
./stopServer.sh server1 -username smadmin -password <smadmin password>
./startServer.sh server1
    Where:
    • <JazzSM_WAS_Profile> is the location of the application server profile that is used for Jazz® for Service Management. This location is usually /opt/IBM/JazzSM/profile.
    • <smadmin password> is the smadmin password.
    To obtain the smadmin password, run the following command.
    oc get secret <release_name>-was-secret -o json -n namespace | grep WAS_PASSWORD | cut -d : -f2 | cut -d '"' -f2 | base64 -d;echo
    Where:
    • <release_name> is the release name for the current cluster.
    • namespace is the namespace that Netcool Operations Insight is deployed into, which can be retrieved by using the oc project command.
    For more information, see Retrieving passwords from secrets.

What to do next
