Minor upgrades

Note

To avoid issues and simplify troubleshooting during an upgrade, first disable the security hardening role by setting your variable apply_security_hardening to False in the user_variables.yml file.

A minor upgrade typically requires the following steps:

1. Change directory into the repository clone root directory:

   # cd /opt/openstack-ansible

2. Ensure your OpenStack-Ansible code is on the latest Newton release tag (14.x.x):

   # git checkout stable/newton
   # LATEST_TAG=$(git describe --abbrev=0 --tags)
   # git checkout ${LATEST_TAG}

3. Update all the dependent roles to the latest version:

   # ./scripts/bootstrap-ansible.sh

4. Change into the playbooks directory:

   # cd playbooks

5. Update the hosts:

   # openstack-ansible setup-hosts.yml

6. Update the infrastructure:

   # openstack-ansible -e rabbitmq_upgrade=true \
   setup-infrastructure.yml

7. Update all OpenStack services:

   # openstack-ansible setup-openstack.yml

Note

Scope upgrades to specific OpenStack components by executing each of the component playbooks using groups.

For example:

1. Update only the Compute hosts:

   # openstack-ansible os-nova-install.yml --limit nova_compute

2. Update only a single Compute host:

   Note

   Skipping the nova-key tag is necessary as the keys on all Compute hosts will not be gathered.

   # openstack-ansible os-nova-install.yml --limit <node-name> \
       --skip-tags 'nova-key'

To see which hosts belong to which groups, the inventory-manage.py script shows all groups and their hosts. For example:

1. Change directory into the repository clone root directory:

   # cd /opt/openstack-ansible

2. Show all groups and which hosts belong to them:

   # ./scripts/inventory-manage.py -G

3. Show all hosts and which groups they belong:

   # ./scripts/inventory-manage.py -g

To see which hosts a playbook will execute against, and to see which tasks will execute.

1. Change directory into the repository clone playbooks directory:

   # cd /opt/openstack-ansible/playbooks

2. See the hosts in the nova_compute group which a playbook executes against:

   # openstack-ansible os-nova-install.yml --limit nova_compute \
                                           --list-hosts

3. See the tasks which will be executed on hosts in the nova_compute group:

   # openstack-ansible os-nova-install.yml --limit nova_compute \
                                           --skip-tags 'nova-key' \
                                           --list-tasks
