Upgrading Watson Studio Runtimes from Version 5.3 to Version 5.4

Information you need to complete this task

Review the following information before you upgrade Watson Studio Runtimes:

Version requirements

All the components that are associated with an instance of IBM Software Hub must be installed at the same release. For example, if the control plane is at Version 5.4.0, you must upgrade Watson Studio Runtimes to Version 5.4.0.

Environment variables

The commands in this task use environment variables so that you can run the commands exactly as written.

• If you don't have the script that defines the environment variables, see Setting up installation environment variables.
• To use the environment variables from the script, you must source the environment variables before you run the commands in this task. For example, run:

  source ./cpd_vars.sh

Storage requirements

You don't need to specify storage when you upgrade Watson Studio Runtimes.

Before you begin

This task assumes that the following prerequisites are met:

System requirements

Workstation

This task assumes that the workstation from which you will run the upgrade is set up as a client workstation and has the following command-line interfaces:

• IBM Software Hub CLI: cpd-cli
• OpenShift® CLI: oc
• Helm CLI: helm

Where to find more information
If this task is not complete, see Updating client workstations.

Control plane

This task assumes that the IBM Software Hub control plane is upgraded.

Where to find more information
If this task is not complete, see Upgrading an instance of IBM Software Hub.

Private container registry

If your environment uses a private container registry (for example, your cluster is air-gapped), this task assumes that the following tasks are complete:

1. The Watson Studio Runtimes software images are mirrored to the private container registry.

   Where to find more information
   If this task is not complete, see Mirroring images to a private container registry.

2. The cpd-cli is configured to pull the olm-utils-v4 image from the private container registry.

   Where to find more information
   If this task is not complete, see Pulling the olm-utils-v4 image from the private container registry.

GPU operators

This task assumes that the operators required to use GPUs are installed.

Where to find more information
If this task is not complete, see Installing operators for services that require GPUs.

Cluster-scoped resources

This task assumes that the cluster-scoped resources, such as custom resource definitions, cluster roles, and cluster role bindings, were updated.

Where to find more information
If this task is not complete, see Updating the cluster-scoped resources for the platform and services.

Prerequisite services

Before you upgrade Watson Studio Runtimes, ensure that the following services are upgraded and running:

• Watson Studio

Procedure

Complete the following tasks to upgrade Watson Studio Runtimes:

1. Specifying installation options
2. Upgrading the service
3. Validating the upgrade
4. What to do next

Specifying installation options

Upgrading the service

To upgrade Watson Studio Runtimes:

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 operator and custom resource for Watson Studio Runtimes.

   cpd-cli manage install-components \
   --license_acceptance=true \
   --components=ws_runtimes \
   --release=${VERSION} \
   --patch_id=${PATCH_ID} \
   --operator_ns=${PROJECT_CPD_INST_OPERATORS} \
   --instance_ns=${PROJECT_CPD_INST_OPERANDS} \
   --image_pull_prefix=${IMAGE_PULL_PREFIX} \
   --image_pull_secret=${IMAGE_PULL_SECRET} \
   --param-file=/tmp/work/install-options.yml \
   --upgrade=true

Validating the upgrade

[SUCCESS]... The install-components 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=ws_runtimes

What to do next

1. If you use custom runtime images in Watson Studio, you must create and register the custom images to rebase the image with the latest IBM Software Hub runtime image. See Building custom runtime images.

After you complete the preceding steps, Watson Studio Runtimes is ready to use. For details, see Notebook environments.
