The Uploading Upgrade Package assists you with uploading the upgrade/patch package for VMware Telco Cloud Operations system using command-line interface and user interface.

Procedure

  1. Run the following commands from a host with SSH access to the Control Plane Node: 
    ssh clusteradmin@control-plane-ip docker tag registry.cluster.omega.local:8443/omega/omega-patching-runner:1.0.0-2 registry.cluster.omega.local:8443/omega/omega-patching-runner:latest
ssh clusteradmin@control-plane-ip docker push registry.cluster.omega.local:8443/omega/omega-patching-runner:latest
    Note: You must run the earlier mentioned commands before installing a patch for the first time.
  2. To create a directory on the control plane node, run the following commands:
    $ ssh clusteradmin@control-plane-ip, For example: ssh [email protected]
    $ mkdir upgrade-package
  3. Copy the package to the control plane node of the VMware Telco Cloud Operations.
    $ scp <patching file name>.tar.gz clusteradmin@control-plane-ip:/home/clusteradmin/upgrade-package
    For example: scp patch-v101.tar.gz [email protected]:/home/clusteradmin/upgrade-package
  4. Copy the package from the main nodes VM, to the container location: /var/data/tco/sys-upgrade:
    1. Find patching service, by using command:

      $ kubectl get pods -n vmware-smarts |grep patching, where you find the patching service ID such as: omega-patching-rest-566cf497bb-ddzxw

    2. Create a directory, by using command:

      $ kubectl -n vmware-smarts exec -it patching-service-ID -- mkdir -p /var/data/tco/sys-upgrade/

      For example: kubectl -n vmware-smarts exec -it omega-patching-rest-566cf497bb-ddzxw -- mkdir -p /var/data/tco/sys-upgrade/

    3. Verify the directory, by using command:

      $ kubectl -n vmware-smarts exec -it patching-service-ID -- ls /var/data/tco/sys-upgrade/

      For example: kubectl -n vmware-smarts exec -it omega-patching-rest-566cf497bb-ddzxw -- ls /var/data/tco/sys-upgrade

    4. Copy the package into the container, using command:

      $ kubectl -n vmware-smarts cp /home/clusteradmin/upgrade-package/your-package.tar.gz patching-service-ID:/var/data/tco/sys-upgrade/your-package.tar.gz

      For example: kubectl -n vmware-smarts cp /home/clusteradmin/upgrade-package/patch-v101.tar.gz omega-patching-rest-566cf497bb-ddzxw:/var/data/tco/sys-upgrade/patch-v101.tar.gz

    5. Go to https://Control Plane Node IP.
    6. Navigate to Administration > System Upgrade.
    7. Click Check For Update.

    All the available patches which were uploaded to the patching service are listed.
