Instructions for installing 2.1.0 patch03 on OCP

Introduction
This document outlines the instructions to install IBM Concert 2.1.0 patch03
 
Before you begin
Ensure you have the following
  • Access to the cluster where IBM Concert 2.1.0 is installed along with dataapps
  • POC customers should reach out to IBM for registry and keys for the concert images.

Download the patch image

If your target cluster is behind an air gapped firewall with no access to the internet to pull images, not even with white-listing or proxying, you will need to replicate the images to your data center.

You can use skopeo copy or docker pull/tag/push to replicate images to your private registry if your cluster has no access to the IBM Container registry on the internet.

Apply the patch

1. Identify the namespace where dataapps is installed on the cluster

2. Edit the dataapps-end-product-backend deployment on the namespace

kubectl -n <dataapps-ns> edit deployment dataapps-end-product-backend
Set spec.template.spec.image to
cp.icr.io/cp/concert/dataapps-end-product-backend:v2.1.0.patch03-410-20251212.022508-v2.1.0-patches
or the equivalent image in your own registry
 
Validate the patch
kubectl -n <dataapps-ns> get pods
Ensure the  dataapps-end-product-backend-*  pods are healthy
 
 
Instructions for installing 2.1.0 patch03 on VM

Introduction 

This document outlines the instructions to install IBM Data Apps v2.1.0.0 patch03 

Before you begin 

Ensure you have the following 

  • Access to the machine where IBM Concert v2.1.0.0 is installed
  • POC customers should reach out to IBM for registry and keys for the concert images. 

Download the patch image 

If your target VM is behind an air gapped firewall with no access to the internet to pull images, not even with white-listing or  proxying, you will need to replicate the images to your data center. 

#!/bin/bash -e 

export REGISTRY="na.artifactory.swg-devops.com/hyc-roja-platform-engineering-team-docker-local/concert" 

export REG_USER="<will be provided by IBM>"  

export REG_KEY="<will be provided by IBM>" 

export DATAAPPS_IMAGE_NAME="dataapps-end-product-backend" 

export DATAAPPS_IMAGE_GA_TAG="v2.1.0-394-20251017.153859-v2.1.0.x" 

export DATAAPPS_IMAGE_PATCHED_TAG="v2.1.0.patch03-410-20251212.022508-v2.1.0-patches" 

export DATAAPPS_REGISTRY="cp.icr.io/cp/concert" 

export DOCKER_EXE="podman" 

 

$DOCKER_EXE login ${REGISTRY} --username=${REG_USER} --password=${REG_KEY} 

$DOCKER_EXE pull ${REGISTRY}/${DATAAPPS_IMAGE_NAME}:${DATAAPPS_IMAGE_PATCHED_TAG} 

Applying the patch 

Stop Data Apps 

ibm-concert/ibm-dataapps-std/bin/stop 

Retag image 

$DOCKER_EXE tag ${REGISTRY}/${DATAAPPS_IMAGE_NAME}:${DATAAPPS_IMAGE_PATCHED_TAG} ${DATAAPPS_REGISTRY}/${DATAAPPS_IMAGE_NAME}:${DATAAPPS_IMAGE_PATCHED_TAG} 

Update container.conf file with the patched image tag. I.e. ibm-dataapps-end-product-backend 

cat ibm-concert/ibm-dataapps-std/etc/ibm-dataapps-end-product-backend.conf 

docker_image_name=dataapps-end-product-backend 

container_name=ibm-dataapps-end-product-backend # This is only used to stop and remove containers from a previous installation (1.1.0) 

legacy_container_name=dataapps-end-product-backend 

patch_image_tag=v2.1.0.patch03-410-20251212.022508-v2.1.0-patches 

Start the ibm-dataapps-end-product-backend container by running the following command 

ibm-concert/ibm-dataapps-std/bin/start 

Validate the patch 

$DOCKER_EXE container ls should show the patched image tag for the container

Disclaimer

According to the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST), the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) is an "industry open standard designed to convey vulnerability severity and help to determine urgency and priority of response." IBM PROVIDES THE CVSS SCORES ""AS IS"" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. CUSTOMERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF ANY ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL SECURITY VULNERABILITY. In addition to other efforts to address potential vulnerabilities, IBM periodically updates the record of components contained in our product offerings. As part of that effort, if IBM identifies previously unidentified packages in a product/service inventory, we address relevant vulnerabilities regardless of CVE date. Inclusion of an older CVEID does not demonstrate that the referenced product has been used by IBM since that date, nor that IBM was aware of a vulnerability as of that date. We are making clients aware of relevant vulnerabilities as we become aware of them. "Affected Products and Versions" referenced in IBM Security Bulletins are intended to be only products and versions that are supported by IBM and have not passed their end-of-support or warranty date. Thus, failure to reference unsupported or extended-support products and versions in this Security Bulletin does not constitute a determination by IBM that they are unaffected by the vulnerability. Reference to one or more unsupported versions in this Security Bulletin shall not create an obligation for IBM to provide fixes for any unsupported or extended-support products or versions.
