PowerProtect Data Manager 19.11 Kubernetes User Guide

Update PowerProtect Data Manager to the latest version in a Kubernetes environment

Use these steps to update PowerProtect Data Manager to the latest version in a Kubernetes environment.

Steps

  1. Before updating, if you are not using the cluster-admin role, perform the following actions:
    1. From a PowerProtect Data Manager command line, type the following command:
      kubectl edit clusterrole powerprotect:discovery-clusterrole
    2. Browse for customresourcedefinitions in the rules section, and then add the delete verb. The format for the new verb should match the format of the other verbs. For example:
      resources:
      - customresourcedefinitions
      verbs:
      - create
      - delete
      - get
      - list
      - update
    3. Save the edited file.
    4. Type the following command:
      kubectl edit clusterrole powerprotect:cluster-role
    5. Browse for deployments in the rules section, and then add the patch verb. The format for the new verb should match the format of the other verbs. For example:
      resources:
      - deployments
      - deployments/scale
      verbs:
      - create
      - get
      - patch
      - list
      - update
    6. If upgrading from a PowerProtect Data Manager 19.8 and earlier release and your environment includes OpenShift, browse for apiGroups and the existing networking.k8s.io entry, and then add operators.coreos.com and konveyor.openshift.io entries below it that match the following content and format:
      - apiGroups:
        - networking.k8.io
        resources:
        - networkpolicies
        verbs:
        - create
        - delete
        - get
      - apiGroups:
        - operators.coreos.com
        resources:
        - '*'
        verbs:
        - '*'
      - apiGroups:
        - konveyer.openshift.io
        resources:
        - '*'
        verbs:
        - '*' 
      - apiGroups: [ "oadp.openshift.io" ]
        resources: [ '*' ]
        verbs: [ '*' ]
      NOTE If upgrading from PowerProtect Data Manager 19.9, most of this content should have already been applied, and therefore, only the last three lines entries (starting with apiGroups: [ "oadp.openshift.io" ] are required.
    7. Save the edited file.
    NOTE If you already updated PowerProtect Data Manager without first performing this step, you can correct the update by following step 1, updating PowerProtect Data Manager again, and then following step 3.
  2. Follow the appropriate PowerProtect Data Manager update procedure from either the PowerProtect Data Manager Administration and User Guide or the PowerProtect Data Manager Deployment Guide.
  3. After updating PowerProtect Data Manager to the new version, type the following commands from a PowerProtect Data Manager command line to apply the new RBAC yaml. This step is required even if the yaml was applied in PowerProtect Data Manager 19.9 and earlier, in order to add any privileges that are required with the latest version.
    cd /usr/local/brs/lib/cndm/misc
    tar -xvzf rbac.tar.gz
    cd rbac
    cat README.txt
    
  4. Follow the instructions displayed on the screen.
