Upgrading UFM on Docker Container

Warning

Upgrade the UFM container based on the existing UFM configuration files that are mounted on the server. It is important to use that same directory as a volume for the UFM installation command.
In the below example /opt/ufm_files is used.

  1. Stop the UFM Enterprise service. Run:

    Copy
    Copied!
                

    systemctl stop ufm-enterprise

  2. Remove the existing docker image. Run:

    Copy
    Copied!
                

    docker rmi mellanox/ufm-enterprise:latest

  3. Load the new UFM Enterprise docker image. Run:

    Copy
    Copied!
                

    docker pull mellanox/ufm-enterprise:latest

  4. Run the docker upgrade command:

    Copy
    Copied!
                

    docker run -it --name=ufm_installer --rm \ -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \ -v /etc/systemd/system/:/etc/systemd_files/ \ -v /opt/ufm/files/:/opt/ufm/shared_config_files/ \ mellanox/ufm-enterprise:latest --upgrade

  5. Reload system manager configuration:

    Copy
    Copied!
                

    systemctl daemon-reload

  6. Start UFM Enterprise service:

    Copy
    Copied!
                

    systemctl start ufm-enterprise

Warning

As of UFM version 6.14.0, UFM upgrade on HA supports in-service upgrade, meaning UFM can continue running during the steps of the upgrade, and there is no need to stop UFM before the upgrade (although this is also supported).

  1. Remove the old docker image from the standby server. Run:

    Copy
    Copied!
                

    Stand-by# docker rmi mellanox/ufm-enterprise:latest

  2. Pull the new UFM Enterprise docker image on the standby server. Run:

    Copy
    Copied!
                

    docker pull mellanox/ufm-enterprise:latest

    Warning

    At this stage, the UFM container has been updated with the latest code. The UFM data, however, will be updated during the next UFM run.

  3. Perform a failover to start UFM on the upgraded node. On the master node, run:

    Copy
    Copied!
                

    ufm_ha_cluster failover

    Warning

    When UFM starts, it will automatically update the UFM configuration.

  4. Repeat steps 1-2 on the un-upgraded node (previous Master node).

  5. Download and extract the latest UFM HA package. Run:

    Copy
    Copied!
                

    wget https://www.mellanox.com/downloads/UFM/ufm_ha_5.1.1-6.tgz

  6. Install the extracted UFM HA package:

    Warning

    In the below command, please modify the partition name based on the already configured DRBD partition.

    Copy
    Copied!
                

    ./install.sh -l /opt/ufm/files/ -d /dev/sda5 -p enterprise

  7. Configure HA. There are two methods:

    Configure HA with SSH Trust

      1. On the master server only, configure the HA nodes. To do so, from /tmp, run the configure_ha_nodes.sh command as shown in the below example

        Copy
        Copied!
                    

        configure_ha_nodes.sh --cluster-password 12345678 \ --local-primary-ip 10.10.50.1 \ --peer-primary-ip 10.10.50.2 \ --local-secondary-ip 192.168.10.1 \ --peer-secondary-ip 192.168.10.2 \ --no-vip

        Warning

        The script configure_ha_nodes.sh is is located under /usr/local/bin/, therefore, by default, you do not need to use the full path to run it.

        Warning

        The --cluster-password must be at least 8 characters long.

        Warning

        To set up a Virtual IP for UFM and gain access to UFM through this IP, regardless of which server is running UFM, you may employ the --no-vip OR --virtual-ip command and provide an IP address as an argument. This can be achieved by navigating to https://<Virtual-IP>/ufm on your web browser.

        Warning

        When using back-to-back ports with local IP addresses for HA sync interfaces, ensure that you add your IP addresses and hostnames to the /etc/hosts file. This is needed to allow the HA configuration to resolve hostnames correctly based on the IP addresses you are using.

        Warning

        configure_ha_nodes.sh requires SSH connection to the standby server. If SSH trust is not configured, then you are prompted to enter the SSH password of the standby server during configuration runtime

      2. Depending on the size of your partition, wait for the configuration process to complete and DRBD sync to finish.

    Configure HA without SSH Trust

    If you cannot establish an SSH trust between your HA servers, you can use ufm_ha_cluster directly to configure HA. To configure HA, follow the below instructions:

    Warning

    Please change the variables in the commands below based on your setup.

      1. [On Standby Server] Run the following command to configure Standby Server:

        Copy
        Copied!
                    

        ufm_ha_cluster config -r standby \ --local-primary-ip 10.10.50.1 \ --peer-primary-ip 10.10.50.2 \ --local-secondary-ip 192.168.10.1 \ --peer-secondary-ip 192.168.10.2 \ --hacluster-pwd 123456789 \ --no-vip

      2. [On Master Server] Run the following command to configure Master Server:

        Copy
        Copied!
                    

        ufm_ha_cluster config -r master --local-primary-ip 10.10.50.1 \ --peer-primary-ip 10.10.50.2 \ --local-secondary-ip 192.168.10.1 \ --peer-secondary-ip 192.168.10.2 \ --hacluster-pwd 123456789 \ --no-vip

    You must wait until after configuration for DRBD sync to finish depending on the size of your partition.

  8. Start UFM HA cluster. Run:

    Copy
    Copied!
                

    ufm_ha_cluster start
