Manual Kubernetes Version Upgrade
=================================
You can upgrade the Kubernetes version on a running system from one
supported version to another.
.. rubric:: |context|
To complete this task, you will apply the following three updates \(patches\)
and upgrade various systems.
**Platform update**
The platform update contains metadata for the new Kubernetes version and the
Kubernetes networking pods templates for the new Kubernetes version.
**Kubeadm update**
The kubeadm update upgrades the kubeadm RPM to the new Kubernetes version.
**Kubelet and Kubectl update**
This Kubernetes update upgrades kubelet and kubectl RPMs to the new
Kubernetes version.
.. rubric:: |prereq|
.. _manual-kubernetes-components-upgrade-ul-jbr-vcn-ylb:
- The system must be clear of alarms.
- All hosts must be unlocked, enabled and available.
- All Kubernetes pods must be ready.
- The installed applications must be compatible with the new Kubernetes
version.
- All updates required for the new Kubernetes version must be transferred to
the active controller.
.. note::
The default version on a fresh install will be Kubernetes 1.21.3, while
on an upgrade from |prod| |prod-ver| it will be 1.18.1. You will need to
upgrade Kubernetes to each version up to 1.21.3 in order to be ready to
upgrade to the next version of |prod|.
.. rubric:: |proc|
#. Upload, apply and install the platform update.
Use the standard :command:`sw-patch`, :command:`upload`, :command:`apply`
and :command:`install` commands to perform these operations.
#. List the available Kubernetes versions.
On a fresh install of |prod| |prod-ver|, the following output appears:
.. code-block:: none
~(keystone_admin)]$ system kube-version-list
+---------+--------+-------------+
| Version | Target | State |
+---------+--------+-------------+
| v1.18.1 | False | unavailable |
| v1.19.13| False | unavailable |
| v1.20.9 | False | unavailable |
| v1.21.3 | True | active |
+---------+--------+-------------+
If |prod| was upgraded to |prod-ver|, the following appears:
.. code-block:: none
~(keystone_admin)]$ system kube-version-list
+---------+--------+-------------+
| Version | Target | State |
+---------+--------+-------------+
| v1.18.1 | True | active |
| v1.19.13| False | available |
| v1.20.9 | False | unavailable |
| v1.21.3 | False | unavailable |
+---------+--------+-------------+
The following meanings apply to the output shown:
**Target**
A value of True means that the target is currently selected for
installation.
**State**
Can be one of:
**active**
The version is running everywhere.
**partial**
The version is running somewhere.
**available**
The version can be upgraded to.
**unavailable**
The version is not available for upgrading. Either it is a
downgrade or it requires an intermediate upgrade first. Kubernetes
can be only upgraded one version at a time.
#. Start the Kubernetes upgrade.
For example:
.. code-block:: none
~(keystone_admin)]$ system kube-upgrade-start v1.19.13
+-------------------+-------------------+
| Property | Value |
+-------------------+-------------------+
| from_version | v1.18.1 |
| to_version | v1.19.13 |
| state | upgrade-started |
+-------------------+-------------------+
The upgrade process checks the applied/available updates, the upgrade path,
the health of the system, the installed applications compatibility and
validates the system is ready for an upgrade.
.. warning::
The command :command:`system kube-upgrade-start --force` causes the
upgrade process to ignore non-management-affecting alarms.
Kubernetes cannot be upgraded if there are management-affecting alarms.
#. Download the Kubernetes images.
For example:
.. code-block:: none
~(keystone_admin)]$ system kube-upgrade-download-images
+--------------+--------------------------------------+
| Property | Value |
+--------------+--------------------------------------+

| created_at | 2020-02-20T16:08:48.854869+00:00 |

and before upgrading the second control plane.

The control planes of both controllers are now upgraded to v1.19.13.
#. Upgrade kubelet on both controllers.
Either controller can be upgraded first.
The kubelets on all controller hosts must be upgraded before upgrading
kubelets on worker hosts.
For each controller, do the following.
#. For non |AIO-SX| systems, lock the controller.
For example:
.. code-block:: none
~(keystone_admin)]$ system host-lock controller-1
.. note::
For All-In-One Simplex systems, the controller must **not** be
locked.
#. Apply the upgrade.
For example:
.. code-block:: none

#. Upgrade kubelet on all worker hosts.
Multiple worker hosts can be upgraded simultaneously provided there is
sufficient capacity remaining on other worker hosts.
For each worker host, do the following:
#. Lock the host.
For example:
