Planning - Before you deploy Watson Explorer oneWEX for ICP Version 12.0.2.1

To deploy Watson Explorer oneWEX for ICP, the Persistent Volumes listed in the Resources Required section in the Watson Explorer oneWEX Helm Chart README are required unless you use dynamic persistent volume provisioning.

See Installing Watson Explorer oneWEX on IBM Cloud Private before you install Watson Explorer oneWEX for ICP Version 12.0.2.1 Also, make sure to select the proper storage type (NFS, Glusterfs, etc.) that supports the listed access mode based on the Watson Explorer oneWEX Helm Chart README.

Notes:

• Watson Explorer oneWEX Helm Chart README is found after you install Watson Explorer oneWEX on IBM Cloud Private. Login to IBM Cloud Private, go to Catalog then select ibm-wex-prod.
• See Watson Explorer oneWEX for ICP KC known issues also if you plan to copy the yaml templates from the Knowledge Center. Some part of the description needs to be corrected.
• Security Bulletin for supported ICP version is available. See Security Bulletin: IBM Cloud Private is affected by a privilege escalation vulnerability in Kubernetes API server for details and how to download the fix.
• Upgrading to ICP Version 3.1.1 from previous ICP Versions are not supported at the moment. If you want to use oneWEX Version 12.0.2.1 on ICP Version 3.1.1, install ICP Version 3.1.1 freshly and install oneWEX Version 12.0.2.1.

Performing a fresh installation of Watson Explorer oneWEX for ICP

You can install Watson Explorer oneWEX for ICP Version 12.0.2.1 directly without installing Watson Explorer oneWEX for ICP Version 12.0.0 GA, Version 12.0.0.1, Version 12.0.1 or Version 12.0.2. To perform a fresh installation of Watson Explorer oneWEX for ICP Version 12.0.2.1, follow the steps as described in Installing Watson Explorer oneWEX on IBM Cloud Private. Note that Watson Explorer oneWEX for ICP Version 12.0.2.1 supports ICP Version 2.1.0.3, Version 3.1.0 and Version 3.1.1 with fresh installation.

Upgrading to Watson Explorer oneWEX for ICP Version 12.0.2.1 on ICP 3.1.0

Following scenario is supported to upgrade to Watson Explorer oneWEX for ICP Version 12.0.2.1 on ICP Version 3.1.0.

• Upgrade from Watson Explorer oneWEX for ICP Version 12.0.1 or Version 12.0.2 on ICP Version 2.1.0.3 to Watson Explorer oneWEX for ICP Version 12.0.2.1 on ICP Version 3.1.0.

There are two paths for the upgrading:

• Upgrade ICP Version 2.1.0.3 to Version 3.1.0 first, then upgrade oneWEX for ICP from Version 12.0.1 or Version 12.0.2.
• Upgrade oneWEX for ICP Version 12.0.1 or Version 12.0.2 to Version 12.0.2.1 first, then upgrade ICP Version 2.1.0.3 to Version 3.1.0.

Upgrading Watson Explorer oneWEX for ICP

To upgrade Watson Explorer oneWEX for ICP Version 12.0.1 or Version 12.0.2 to Version 12.0.2.1:

1. Install oneWEX for ICP Version 12.0.2.1 with following steps 3-6 in Installing Watson Explorer oneWEX on IBM Cloud Private.

2. If you upgrade from oneWEX for ICP Version 12.0.1 and you do not use dynamic persistent volume provisioning, create wex-disk-log persistent volume that is newly introduced in oneWEX for ICP Version 12.0.2. You can create the persistent volume by executing:
   kubectl create -f <yaml-file>
   Refer to the Watson Explorer oneWEX Helm Chart README for template of yaml-file for wex-disk-log persistent volume.

3. Upgrade helm release of oneWEX for ICP to Version 12.0.2.1. See "Upgrade Helm release version" in Managing Helm releases.

Special instructions when upgrading Watson Explorer oneWEX for ICP from Version 12.0.2 to Version 12.0.2.1:

Especially when upgrading oneWEX for ICP Version 12.0.2 to Version 12.0.2.1, an error about Ingestion statefulset such as follows would appear in the ICP console.

Invalid request : rpc error: code=Unknown desc=StatefulSet.apps "wex-icp-ibm-wex-prod-ingestion" is invalid: spec: Forbidden:updates to statefulset spec for fields other than 'replicas', 'templates', and 'updateStrategy' are forebidden.

Or, if you proceed the upgrade without noticing the error, you might see 2 Helm releases of oneWEX in the ICP console after the upgrade.

Follow the steps below to have Ingestion pod work with new configuration:

1. Run the kubectl command to create a yaml file (named ingestion-statefulset.yaml in this example) of the Ingestion statefulset.
   kubectl -n YOUR_NAMESPACE get statefulset <YOUR_RELEASE>-ibm-wex-prod-ingestion -o yaml > ingestion-statefulset.yaml
2. Edit the yaml file (ingestion-statefulset.yaml) to apply the following changes.
   1. Add "serviceName" to "spec" (around at line 19, with 2-space indent)

      spec:
       podManagementPolicy: Parallel
       serviceName: <YOUR_RELEASE>-ibm-wex-prod-ingestion-headless
      

   2. Add the following security keys (securityContext and its sub keys) to "spec.template.spec". (around at line 133, with 6-space indent)

      spec:
      ...
       template:
      ...
         spec:
      ...
           dnsPolicy: ClusterFirst
           securityContext:
             runAsNonRoot: false
             runAsUser: 0

   3. Update the image tag from "12.0.2.417-linux-amd64" to "12.0.2.489-linux-amd64". (around at line 75)

      image: mycluster.icp:8500/default/ibm-wex-ee:12.0.2.489-linux-amd64

3. Delete the current statefulset with kubectl command.
   kubectl -n YOUR_NAMESPACE delete statefulset <YOUR_RELEASE>-ibm-wex-prod-ingestion
4. Create the modified statefulset with the yaml file (ingestion-statefulset.yaml in this example)
   kubectl -n YOUR_NAMESPACE create -f ingestion-statefulset.yaml
