The VMware Integrated OpenStack 3.0 or 3.1 upgrade is a Debian patch. When you install the upgrade patch, you upgrade the VMware Integrated OpenStack Manager vApp.

Procedure

  1. Download the upgrade as a Debian patch from VMware.

    If you do not know where to obtain the upgrade patch, go to the VMware Integrated OpenStack product page at https://www.vmware.com/products/openstack.

  2. Add the upgrade patch to your VMware Integrated OpenStack installation.
    1. Log in to the console for the VMware Integrated OpenStack management server.
    2. Download the debian file for the patch.
    3. Add the upgrade patch path. 
      viopatch add -l <upgrade patch path>
    4. Confirm that the upgrade patch is successfully added. 
      viopatch list

      This command returns a list of available patches, their version numbers, their type, and current status. The list should indicate the upgrade patch by its build number.

  3. Install the upgrade patch.
    1. Ensure that VMware Integrated OpenStack service is either running or not yet deployed.

      If the VMware Integrated OpenStack service is in any other state, the upgrade will fail.

    2. Log in to the VMware Integrated OpenStack management server and install the patch. 
      viopatch install -p <upgrade patch name> -v <upgrade patch version>

      The patch installation takes several minutes to finish.

  4. Run the viocli dbverify command to check the VMware Integrated OpenStack database for known problems, such as duplicated or missing keys, that can cause problems during the upgrade procedure. 
    viocli dbverify [-d NAME] [-h] [-v]

    See viocli dbverify Command for more information.
