Prerequisites

Install VMware Integrated OpenStack with Kubernetes 5.1 or upgrade your VMware Integrated OpenStack with Kubernetes deployment to version 5.1.
Download VMware Integrated OpenStack with Kubernetes 5.1 Security Patch 1 from the VMware Integrated OpenStack download page.

Procedure

Transfer the VMware Integrated OpenStack with Kubernetes 5.1 Security Patch 1 file to the VMware Integrated OpenStack with Kubernetes appliance.

tar -xzf viok-5.1-hp1.tar.gz
cd viok-5.1-hp1
./install.sh

If you have already deployed Kubernetes clusters, perform the following steps to patch them:
1. Update each cluster in your deployment.
```
vkube cluster update cluster-id
```
  Run the preceding command once for each cluster. You can use the vkube cluster list command to find the ID of all clusters in your deployment.
2. Log in to each node in each cluster, restart the kubelet service, and re-create all static pods.
```
vkube ssh node-name --cluster-id cluster-id
sudo systemctl restart kubelet.service
mkdir backup
sudo mv /etc/kubernetes/manifests/*.manifest ./backup
sudo cp ./backup/* /etc/kubernetes/manifests/
exit
```
  Run the preceding commands once for each node. You can use the vkube cluster show command with a cluster ID to find the name of each node in the cluster.
