To upgrade, run the installation scripts as described in this section.

Trigger deployment using tcxctl CLI. 
root [ ~ ]# cd $TCSA_WORK_SPACE/tcx-deployer/clis
root [ ~/upgrade/tcx-deployer/clis ]# ./tcxctl deploy all --bundle-path <TCSA-bundle-path> --kubeconfig <your-kubeconfig-location> --registry <your-acr-instance>.azurecr.io/tcx --registry-password <ACR-registry-password> --registry-username <ACR-registry-username> --timeout <time-in-mins>
Note:
  • The --registry <harbor-registry-fqdn>/<project-name> must be configured with the same value that is used during the base VMware Telco Cloud Service Assurance deployment.
  • The --registry-cert is an optional parameter and must be provided in the above tcxctl CLI if the Harbor certificate is not a public certificate.
  • If you do not want to specify the registry username and password in the installation script, perform Docker login. To login to Docker, run the following command: 
    docker login <harbor-fqdn>
    Ensure that the --registry-password does not have the comma character in it. If the comma is used, escape it using the backslash.
After the deployment script exits, manually check the VMware Telco Cloud Service Assurance deployment status by running the following command from deployment VM. 
root [ ~/upgrade/tcx-deployer/scripts ]# kubectl get tcxproduct 
 OR
root [ ~/upgrade/tcx-deployer/scripts ]# kubectl get apps
For all the apps, the reconciliation status must be successful. 
root [ ~/upgrade/tcx-deployer/scripts ]# kubectl get tcxproduct
NAME   STATUS            READY   MESSAGE                               AGE
tcsa   updateCompleted   True    All App CRs reconciled successfully   30h
Note: After successful deployment, you can launch the VMware Telco Cloud Service Assurance UI. For more information, see Accessing VMware Telco Cloud Service Assurance UI topic. Ensure that the About page in the VMware Telco Cloud Service Assurance UI reflects the upgraded version of VMware Telco Cloud Service Assurance.

If all the apps are not reconciled, the deployment fails. For more information, see VMware Telco Cloud Automation Installation Issue in the VMware Telco Cloud Service Assurance Troubleshooting Guide.

After the upgrade, perform the actions listed in Post VMware Telco Cloud Service Assurance Upgrade topic.
