Upgrading on RHOSP

0] Pre-requisites

Please ensure the following points are met before starting the upgrade process:

  • No Snapshot or Restore is running

  • Global job scheduler is disabled

  • wlm-cron is disabled on the Trilio Appliance

Deactivating the wlm-cron service

The following sets of commands will disable the wlm-cron service and verify that it is has been completly shut-down.

[root@TVM2 ~]# pcs resource disable wlm-cron
[root@TVM2 ~]# systemctl status wlm-cron
● wlm-cron.service - workload's scheduler cron service
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/wlm-cron.service; disabled; vendor preset                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           : disabled)

1.] [On Undercloud node] Clone latest Trilio repository and upload Trilio puppet module

All commands need to be run as user 'stack' on undercloud node

The Trilio appliance connected to this installation needs to be of version 4.1 HF10

1.1] Clone Trilio cfg scripts repository

Separate directories are created as per Redhat OpenStack release under 'triliovault-cfg-scripts/redhat-director-scripts/' directory. Use all scripts/templates from respective directory. For ex, if your RHOSP release is 13, then use scripts/templates from 'triliovault-cfg-scripts/redhat-director-scripts/rhosp13' directory only.

Available RHOSP_RELEASE___DIRECTORY values are:

rhosp13 rhosp16.1 rhosp16.2

RHOSP 16.0 is not supported anymore as RedHat has officially stopped supporting it. However, Trilio maintained it for some time and stopped the support from 4.1HF11 onwards. The latest hotfix available for RHOSP16.0 is 41.HF10. Reach out to the Support team for any help.

1.2] If backup target type is 'Ceph based S3' with SSL:

If your backup target is ceph S3 with SSL and SSL certificates are self signed or authorized by private CA, then user needs to provide CA chain certificate to validate the SSL requests. For that, user needs to rename his ca chain cert file to 's3-cert.pem' and copy it into the puppet directory of the right release.

2] Upload Trilio puppet module

3] Update overcloud roles data file to include Trilio services

Trilio has two services as explained below. You need to add these two services to your roles_data.yaml. If you do not have customized roles_data file, you can find your default roles_data.yaml file at /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/roles_data.yaml on undercloud.

You need to find that role_data file and edit it to add the following Trilio services.

i) Trilio Datamover Api Service:

Service Entry in roles_data yaml: OS::TripleO::Services::TrilioDatamoverApi

This service needs to be co-located with database and keystone services. That said, you need to add this service on the same role as of keystone and database service.

Typically this service should be deployed on controller nodes where keystone and database runs. If you are using RHOSP's pre-defined roles, you need to addOS::TripleO::Services::TrilioDatamoverApiservice to Controller role.

ii) Trilio Datamover Service: Service Entry in roles_data yaml: OS::TripleO::Services::TrilioDatamover This service should be deployed on role where nova-compute service is running.

If you are using RHOSP's pre-defined roles, you need to add our OS::TripleO::Services::TrilioDatamover service to Compute role.

If you have defined your custom roles, then you need to identify the role name where in 'nova-compute' service is running and then you need to add 'OS::TripleO::Services::TrilioDatamover' service to that role.

4] Prepare latest Trilio container images

All commands need to be run as user 'stack'

Refer to the word <HOTFIX-TAG-VERSION> as 4.1.94-hotfix-16 in the below sections

Trilio containers are pushed to 'RedHat Container Registry'. Registry URL is 'registry.connect.redhat.com'. The Trilio container URLs are as follows:

4.1] available container images

RHOSP 13

RHOSP 16.1

RHOSP 16.2

There are three registry methods available in RedHat OpenStack Platform.

  1. Remote Registry

  2. Local Registry

  3. Satellite Server

4.2] Remote Registry

Please refer to the following overview to see which containers are available.

Follow this section when 'Remote Registry' is used.

For this method, it is not necessary to pull the containers in advance. It is only necessary to populate the trilio_env.yaml file with the Trilio container URLs from Redhat registry.

Populate the trilio_env.yaml with container URLs for:

  • Trilio Datamover container

  • Trilio Datamover api container

  • Trilio Horizon Plugin

trilio_env.yaml will be available in __triliovault-cfg-scripts/redhat-director-scripts/<RHOSP_RELEASE_DIRECTORY>/environments

Example

4.2] Local Registry

Please refer to the this overview to see which containers are available.

Follow this section when 'local registry' is used on the undercloud.

In this case it is necessary to push the Trilio containers to the undercloud registry. Trilio provides shell scripts which will pull the containers from 'registry.connect.redhat.com' and push them to the undercloud and updates the trilio_env.yaml.

RHOSP13

Verify the changes

RHOSP16.1

Verify the changes:

RHOSP16.2

Verify the changes

The changes can be verified using the following commands.

4.3] Red Hat Satellite Server

Please refer to the following overview to see which containers are available.

Follow this section when a Satellite Server is used for the container registry.

Pull the Trilio containers on the Red Hat Satellite using the given Red Hat registry URLs.

Populate the trilio_env.yaml with container urls.

RHOSP 13

RHOSP16.1

RHOSP16.2

5. Verify Trilio environment details

It is recommended to re-populate the backup target details in the freshly downloaded trilio_env.yaml file. This will ensure that parameters that have been added since the last update/installation of Trilio are available and will be filled out too.

Locations of the trilio_env.yaml:

For more details about the trilio_env.yaml please check here.

6] Update Overcloud Trilio components

Use the following heat environment file and roles data file in overcloud deploy command:

  1. trilio_env.yaml

  2. roles_data.yaml

  3. Use correct Trilio endpoint map file as per available Keystone endpoint configuration

    1. Instead of tls-endpoints-public-dns.yaml file, use environments/trilio_env_tls_endpoints_public_dns.yaml

    2. Instead of tls-endpoints-public-ip.yaml file, useenvironments/trilio_env_tls_endpoints_public_ip.yaml

    3. Instead of tls-everywhere-endpoints-dns.yaml file, useenvironments/trilio_env_tls_everywhere_dns.yaml

To include new environment files use '-e' option and for roles data file use '-r' option. An example overcloud deploy command is shown below:

7] Verify deployment

If the containers are in restarting state or not listed by the following command then your deployment is not done correctly. Please recheck if you followed the complete documentation.

7.1] On Controller node

Make sure Trilio dmapi and horizon containers are in a running state and no other Trilio container is deployed on controller nodes. When the role for these containers is not "controller" check on respective nodes according to configured roles_data.yaml.

7.2] On Compute node

Make sure Trilio datamover container is in running state and no other Trilio container is deployed on compute nodes.

7.3] On the node with Horizon service

Make sure horizon container is in running state. Please note that 'Horizon' container is replaced with Trilio Horizon container. This container will have latest OpenStack horizon + Trilio's horizon plugin.
