Upgrade

[edit on GitHub]

Warning

We are currently working on making the setup and upgrade process to Automate HA a seamless experience. If you are already using Chef Automate HA, or are planning to use it, please contact your customer success manager or account manager for more information.

Steps to upgrade the Chef Automate HA are as shown below:

  • Download the latest cli

     curl https://packages.chef.io/files/current/latest/chef-automate-cli/chef-automate_linux_amd64.zip | gunzip - > chef-automate && chmod +x chef-automate | cp -f chef-automate /usr/bin/chef-automate

  • Download Airgapped Bundle, download latest Bundle with this:

    curl https://packages.chef.io/airgap_bundle/current/automate/latest.aib -o latest.aib

    Download specific version bundle with this:

    curl https://packages.chef.io/airgap_bundle/current/automate/<version>.aib -o automate-<version>.aib

    Note

    Chef Automate bundles are available for 365 days from the release of a version. However, the milestone release bundles are available for download forever.

  • If we want to only upgrade FrontEnd Services i.e. Chef Automate and Chef Infra Server.

    chef-automate upgrade run --airgap-bundle latest.aib --upgrade-frontends

  • If we want to only upgrade BackEnd Services i.e. Postgresql and OpenSearch.

    chef-automate upgrade run --airgap-bundle latest.aib --upgrade-backends

  • To upgrade full Chef Automate HA System run this command from Bation Host:

    chef-automate upgrade run --airgap-bundle latest.aib

Note

  • BackEnd upgrades will restart the backend service, which take time for cluster to be in health state.
  • Upgrade command, currently only supports minor upgrade.
  • To skip user confirmation prompt in upgrade, you can pass a flag
      chef-automate upgrade run --airgap-bundle latest.aib --auto-approve
  OR 
  chef-automate upgrade run --airgap-bundle latest.aib --upgrade-backends --auto-approve
  OR
  chef-automate upgrade run --airgap-bundle latest.aib --upgrade-frontends --auto-approve

Upgrade will also check for new version of bastion workspace, if new version is available, it will promt for a confirmation for workspace upgrade before upgrading the Frontend or backend nodes,

In case of yes, it will do workspace upgrade and no will skip this. We can also pass a flag in upgade command to avoid prompt for workspace upgrade.

 chef-automate upgrade run --airgap-bundle latest.aib --auto-approve --workspace-upgrade yes
    OR  
 chef-automate upgrade run --airgap-bundle latest.aib --auto-approve --workspace-upgrade no
