Bring upgrade documentation up to date
This makes a few changes: 1) Per documentation policy, lowercase project names ("ironic" and "nova"). 2) Adds a blurb about reading the release notes before upgrading, as that's where per-version upgrade steps and recommendations are now documented. Refers to the per-cycle upgrade steps in this guide as "pre-release-notes" upgrade docs. 3) Adds a general upgrade process - upgrade ironic before nova, and the steps to upgrade ironic.

The `release notes <http://docs.openstack.org/releasenotes/ironic/>`_
|
||||||
|
should always be read carefully when upgrading the ironic service. Starting
|
||||||
|
with the Mitaka series, specific upgrade steps and considerations are
|
||||||
|
well-documented in the release notes. Specific upgrade considerations prior
|
||||||
|
to the Mitaka series are documented below.
|
||||||
|
|

Upgrades are only supported one series at a time, or within a series.

General upgrades - all versions
|
||||||
|
===============================
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Starting with the Liberty release, the ironic service should always be upgraded
|
||||||
|
before the nova service. The ironic virt driver in nova always uses a specific
|
||||||
|
version of the ironic REST API. This API version may be one that was introduced
|
||||||
|
in the same development cycle, so upgrading nova first may result in nova being
|
||||||
|
unable to use ironic's API.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When upgrading ironic, the following steps should always be taken:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Update ironic code, without restarting services yet.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Run database migrations
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Restart ironic-conductor and ironic-api services.
