Creating ConfigMap objects for the image-based upgrade with the Lifecycle Agent using GitOps ZTP¶

Create your OADP resources, extra manifests, and custom catalog sources wrapped in a ConfigMap object to prepare for the image-based upgrade.

Creating OADP resources for the image-based upgrade with GitOps ZTP¶

Prepare your OADP resources to restore your application after an upgrade.

Prerequisites

You have provisioned one or more managed clusters with GitOps ZTP.
You have logged in as a user with cluster-admin privileges.
You have generated a seed image from a compatible seed cluster.
You have created a separate partition on the target cluster for the container images that is shared between stateroots. For more information, see "Configuring a shared container partition between ostree stateroots when using GitOps ZTP".
You have deployed a version of Lifecycle Agent that is compatible with the version used with the seed image.
You have installed the OADP Operator, the DataProtectionApplication CR, and its secret on the target cluster.
You have created an S3-compatible storage solution and a ready-to-use bucket with proper credentials configured. For more information, see "Installing and configuring the OADP Operator with GitOps ZTP".
The openshift-adp namespace for the OADP ConfigMap object must exist on all managed clusters and the hub for the OADP ConfigMap to be generated and copied to the clusters.

Procedure

Ensure that your Git repository that you use with the ArgoCD policies application contains the following directory structure:

├── source-crs/
│   ├── ibu/
│   │    ├── ImageBasedUpgrade.yaml
│   │    ├── PlatformBackupRestore.yaml
│   │    ├── PlatformBackupRestoreLvms.yaml
│   │    ├── PlatformBackupRestoreWithIBGU.yaml
├── ...
├── kustomization.yaml

The source-crs/ibu/PlatformBackupRestoreWithIBGU.yaml file is provided in the ZTP container image.

PlatformBackupRestoreWithIBGU.yaml

  annotations:
    lca.openshift.io/apply-wave: "1"
spec:
  backupName:
    acm-klusterlet

Note

If your multiclusterHub CR does not have .spec.imagePullSecret defined and the secret does not exist on the open-cluster-management-agent namespace in your hub cluster, remove v1/secrets/open-cluster-management-agent/open-cluster-management-image-pull-credentials from the metadata.annotations.lca.openshift.io/apply-label value in the acm-klusterlet Backup CR.

Note

If you perform the image-based upgrade directly on managed clusters, use the PlatformBackupRestore.yaml file.

If you use LVM Storage to create persistent volumes, you can use the source-crs/ibu/PlatformBackupRestoreLvms.yaml provided in the ZTP container image to back up your LVM Storage resources.

PlatformBackupRestoreLvms.yaml

apiVersion: velero.io/v1
kind: Backup
metadata:

  labels:

spec:
  backupName:
    lvmcluster

The lca.openshift.io/apply-wave value must be lower than the values specified in the application Restore CRs.

If you need to restore applications after the upgrade, create the OADP Backup and Restore CRs for your application in the openshift-adp namespace:

Create the OADP CRs for cluster-scoped application artifacts in the openshift-adp namespace:

Replace the example resource names in the lca.openshift.io/apply-label field with your actual resources.
The value in the lca.openshift.io/apply-wave field must be higher than the value in the platform Restore CRs and lower than the value in the application namespace-scoped Restore CR.

Create the OADP CRs for your namespace-scoped application artifacts in the source-crs/custom-crs directory:

Warning

The same version of the applications must function on both the current and the target release of OpenShift Container Platform.

Create a kustomization.yaml with the following content:

apiVersion: kustomize.config.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: Kustomization

configMapGenerator:

  #- source-crs/custom-crs/ApplicationClusterScopedBackupRestore.yaml
  #- source-crs/custom-crs/ApplicationApplicationBackupRestoreLso.yaml
  name: oadp-cm
  namespace: openshift-adp
generatorOptions:
  disableNameSuffixHash: true

where:

configMapGenerator: Creates the oadp-cm ConfigMap object on the hub cluster with Backup and Restore CRs.

namespace: openshift-adp: The namespace must exist on all managed clusters and the hub for the OADP ConfigMap to be generated and copied to the clusters.

Push the changes to your Git repository.

Labeling extra manifests for the image-based upgrade with GitOps ZTP¶

Label your extra manifests so that the Lifecycle Agent can extract resources that are labeled with the lca.openshift.io/target-ocp-version: <target_version> label.

Prerequisites

You have provisioned one or more managed clusters with GitOps ZTP.
You have logged in as a user with cluster-admin privileges.
You have generated a seed image from a compatible seed cluster.
You have created a separate partition on the target cluster for the container images that is shared between stateroots. For more information, see "Configuring a shared container directory between ostree stateroots when using GitOps ZTP".
You have deployed a version of Lifecycle Agent that is compatible with the version used with the seed image.

Procedure

Label your required extra manifests with the lca.openshift.io/target-ocp-version: <target_version> label in your existing site PolicyGenTemplate CR:

apiVersion: ran.openshift.io/v1
kind: PolicyGenTemplate

      spec:
          displayName: default-cat-source
          image: quay.io/example-org/example-catalog:v1

where:

lca.openshift.io/target-ocp-version: Ensure that this label matches either the y-stream or the z-stream of the target OpenShift Container Platform version that is specified in the spec.seedImageRef.version field of the ImageBasedUpgrade CR. The Lifecycle Agent only applies the CRs that match the specified version.

DefaultCatsrc.yaml: If you do not want to use custom catalog sources, remove this entry.
