Major upgrades

This guide provides information about the upgrade process from to for OpenStack-Ansible.

Note

You can only upgrade between sequential releases.

Introduction

For upgrades between major versions, the OpenStack-Ansible repository provides playbooks and scripts to upgrade an environment. The run-upgrade.sh script runs each upgrade playbook in the correct order, or playbooks can be run individually if necessary. Alternatively, a deployer can upgrade manually. A major upgrade process performs the following actions:

  • Modifies files residing in the /etc/openstack_deploy directory, to reflect new configuration values.
  • Places flag files that are created by the migration scripts in order to achieve idempotency. These files are placed in the directory.
  • Upgrades the infrastructure servers. See setup-infra-playbook for details.
