PowerProtect Data Manager 19.15 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.

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 you made any changes, 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 Administrator Guide or the PowerProtect Data Manager Deployment Guide.
3. After updating PowerProtect Data Manager to the new version, download the RBAC yaml from the PowerProtect Data Manager UI to a host that can access the Kubernetes cluster using kubectl:
   1. In the PowerProtect Data Manager UI, click and then select Downloads.
   2. In the left pane, select Kubernetes.
   3. In the RBAC box, click Download.
4. Type the following commands on the host where the tar file was downloaded to apply the new RBAC yaml. This step is required even if the yaml was applied in PowerProtect Data Manager 19.11 and earlier, in order to add any privileges that are required with the latest version.

   tar -xvzf rbac.tar.gz
   cd rbac
   cat README.txt
   

5. Follow the instructions displayed on the screen.
