# Upgrade Here we cover how to upgrade to Longhorn v0.3.1 from all previous releases. ## From v0.3.x ### From Longhorn deployment yaml If you didn't change any configuration during Longhorn v0.3.0 installation, follow [the official Longhorn Deployment instructions](../README.md#deployment) to upgrade. Otherwise you will need to download the yaml file from [the official Longhorn Deployment instructions](../README.md#deployment), modify it to your need, then use `kubectl apply -f` to upgrade. ### From Longhorn App (Rancher Catalog App) On Rancher UI, navigate to the `Catalog Apps` screen and click the `Upgrade available` button. Do not change any of the settings. *Do not change any of the settings right now.* Click `Upgrade`. Access Longhorn UI. Periodically refresh the page until the version in the bottom left corner of the screen changes. Wait until websocket indicators in bottom right corner of the screen turn solid green. Navigate to `Setting> Engine Image` and wait until the new Engine Image is `Ready`. ## From v0.2 and older The upgrade procedure for Longhorn v0.2 and v0.1 deployments is more involved. ### Backup Existing Volumes It's recommended to create a recent backup of every volume to the backupstore before upgrade. If you don't have a on-cluster backupstore already, create one. We'll use NFS backupstore for this example. 1. Execute following command to create the backupstore ``` kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rancher/longhorn/master/deploy/backupstores/nfs-backupstore.yaml ``` 2. On Longhorn UI Settings page, set Backup Target to `nfs://longhorn-test-nfs-svc.default:/opt/backupstore` and click `Save`. Navigate to each volume detail page and click `Take Snapshot` (it's recommended to run `sync` in the host command line before `Take Snapshot`). Click the new snapshot and click `Backup`. Wait for the new backup to show up in the volume's backup list before continuing. ### Check For Issues Make sure no volume is in degraded or faulted state. Wait for degraded volumes to heal and delete/salvage faulted volumes before proceeding. ### Detach Volumes Shutdown all Kubernetes Pods using Longhorn volumes in order to detach the volumes. The easiest way to achieve this is by deleting all workloads and recreate them later after upgrade. If this is not desirable, some workloads may be suspended. We will cover how each workload can be modified to shut down its pods. #### Deployment Edit the deployment with `kubectl edit deploy/`. Set `.spec.replicas` to `0`. #### StatefulSet Edit the statefulset with `kubectl edit statefulset/`. Set `.spec.replicas` to `0`. #### DaemonSet There is no way to suspend this workload. Delete the daemonset with `kubectl delete ds/`. #### Pod Delete the pod with `kubectl delete pod/`. There is no way to suspend a pod not managed by a workload controller. #### CronJob Edit the cronjob with `kubectl edit cronjob/`. Set `.spec.suspend` to `true`. Wait for any currently executing jobs to complete, or terminate them by deleting relevant pods. #### Job Consider allowing the single-run job to complete. Otherwise, delete the job with `kubectl delete job/`. #### ReplicaSet Edit the replicaset with `kubectl edit replicaset/`. Set `.spec.replicas` to `0`. #### ReplicationController Edit the replicationcontroller with `kubectl edit rc/`. Set `.spec.replicas` to `0`. Wait for the volumes using by the Kubernetes to complete detaching. Then detach all remaining volumes from Longhorn UI. These volumes were most likely created and attached outside of Kubernetes via Longhorn UI or REST API. ### Uninstall the Old Version of Longhorn Make note of `BackupTarget` on the `Setting` page. You will need to manually set `BackupTarget` after upgrading from either v0.1 or v0.2. Delete Longhorn components. For Longhorn `v0.1` (most likely installed using Longhorn App in Rancher 2.0): ``` kubectl delete -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/llparse/longhorn/v0.1/deploy/uninstall-for-upgrade.yaml ``` For Longhorn `v0.2`: ``` kubectl delete -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rancher/longhorn/v0.2/deploy/uninstall-for-upgrade.yaml ``` If both commands returned `Not found` for all components, Longhorn is probably deployed in a different namespace. Determine which namespace is in use and adjust `NAMESPACE` here accordingly: ``` NAMESPACE= curl -sSfL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rancher/longhorn/v0.1/deploy/uninstall-for-upgrade.yaml|sed "s#^\( *\)namespace: longhorn#\1namespace: ${NAMESPACE}#g" > longhorn.yaml kubectl delete -f longhorn.yaml ``` ### Backup Longhorn System We're going to backup Longhorn CRD yaml to local directory, so we can restore or inspect them later. #### Upgrade from v0.1 User must backup the CRDs for v0.1 because we will change the default deploying namespace for Longhorn. Check your backups to make sure Longhorn was running in namespace `longhorn`, otherwise change the value of `NAMESPACE` below. ``` NAMESPACE=longhorn kubectl -n ${NAMESPACE} get volumes.longhorn.rancher.io -o yaml > longhorn-v0.1-backup-volumes.yaml kubectl -n ${NAMESPACE} get engines.longhorn.rancher.io -o yaml > longhorn-v0.1-backup-engines.yaml kubectl -n ${NAMESPACE} get replicas.longhorn.rancher.io -o yaml > longhorn-v0.1-backup-replicas.yaml kubectl -n ${NAMESPACE} get settings.longhorn.rancher.io -o yaml > longhorn-v0.1-backup-settings.yaml ``` After it's done, check those files, make sure they're not empty (unless you have no existing volumes). #### Upgrade from v0.2 Check your backups to make sure Longhorn was running in namespace `longhorn-system`, otherwise change the value of `NAMESPACE` below. ``` NAMESPACE=longhorn-system kubectl -n ${NAMESPACE} get volumes.longhorn.rancher.io -o yaml > longhorn-v0.2-backup-volumes.yaml kubectl -n ${NAMESPACE} get engines.longhorn.rancher.io -o yaml > longhorn-v0.2-backup-engines.yaml kubectl -n ${NAMESPACE} get replicas.longhorn.rancher.io -o yaml > longhorn-v0.2-backup-replicas.yaml kubectl -n ${NAMESPACE} get settings.longhorn.rancher.io -o yaml > longhorn-v0.2-backup-settings.yaml ``` After it's done, check those files, make sure they're not empty (unless you have no existing volumes). ### Delete CRDs in Different Namespace This is only required for Rancher users running Longhorn App `v0.1`. Delete all CRDs from your namespace which is `longhorn` by default. ``` NAMESPACE=longhorn kubectl -n ${NAMESPACE} get volumes.longhorn.rancher.io -o yaml | sed "s/\- longhorn.rancher.io//g" | kubectl apply -f - kubectl -n ${NAMESPACE} get engines.longhorn.rancher.io -o yaml | sed "s/\- longhorn.rancher.io//g" | kubectl apply -f - kubectl -n ${NAMESPACE} get replicas.longhorn.rancher.io -o yaml | sed "s/\- longhorn.rancher.io//g" | kubectl apply -f - kubectl -n ${NAMESPACE} get settings.longhorn.rancher.io -o yaml | sed "s/\- longhorn.rancher.io//g" | kubectl apply -f - kubectl -n ${NAMESPACE} delete volumes.longhorn.rancher.io --all kubectl -n ${NAMESPACE} delete engines.longhorn.rancher.io --all kubectl -n ${NAMESPACE} delete replicas.longhorn.rancher.io --all kubectl -n ${NAMESPACE} delete settings.longhorn.rancher.io --all ``` ### Install Longhorn #### Upgrade from v0.1 For Rancher users who are running Longhorn v0.1, **do not click the upgrade button in the Rancher App.** 1. Delete the Longhorn App from `Catalog Apps` screen in Rancher UI. 2. Launch Longhorn App template version `0.3.1`. 3. Restore Longhorn System data. This step is required for Rancher users running Longhorn App `v0.1`. Don't change the NAMESPACE variable below, since the newly installed Longhorn system will be installed in the `longhorn-system` namespace. ``` NAMESPACE=longhorn-system sed "s#^\( *\)namespace: .*#\1namespace: ${NAMESPACE}#g" longhorn-v0.1-backup-settings.yaml | kubectl apply -f - sed "s#^\( *\)namespace: .*#\1namespace: ${NAMESPACE}#g" longhorn-v0.1-backup-replicas.yaml | kubectl apply -f - sed "s#^\( *\)namespace: .*#\1namespace: ${NAMESPACE}#g" longhorn-v0.1-backup-engines.yaml | kubectl apply -f - sed "s#^\( *\)namespace: .*#\1namespace: ${NAMESPACE}#g" longhorn-v0.1-backup-volumes.yaml | kubectl apply -f - ``` ### Upgrade from v0.2 For Longhorn v0.2 users who are not using Rancher, follow [the official Longhorn Deployment instructions](../README.md#deployment). ### Access UI and Set BackupTarget Wait until the longhorn-ui and longhorn-manager pods are `Running`: ``` kubectl -n longhorn-system get pod -w ``` [Access the UI](../README.md#access-the-ui). On `Setting > General`, set `Backup Target` to the backup target used in the previous version. In our example, this is `nfs://longhorn-test-nfs-svc.default:/opt/backupstore`. ## Migrating Between Flexvolume and CSI Driver Ensure your Longhorn App is up to date. Follow the relevant upgrade procedure above before proceeding. The migration path between drivers requires backing up and restoring each volume and will incur both API and workload downtime. This can be a tedious process; consider what benefit switching drivers will bring before proceeding. Consider deleting unimportant workloads using the old driver to reduce effort. ### Flexvolume to CSI CSI is the newest out-of-tree Kubernetes storage interface. 1. [Backup existing volumes](upgrade.md#backup-existing-volumes). 2. On Rancher UI, navigate to the `Catalog Apps` screen, locate the `Longhorn` app and click the `Up to date` button. Under `Kubernetes Driver`, select `flexvolume`. We recommend leaving `Flexvolume Path` empty. Click `Upgrade`. 3. Restore each volume by following the [CSI restore procedure](restore_statefulset.md#csi-instructions). This procedure is tailored to the StatefulSet workload, but the process is approximately the same for all workloads. ### CSI to Flexvolume If you would like to migrate from CSI to Flexvolume driver, we are interested to hear from you. CSI is the newest out-of-tree storage interface and we expect it to replace Flexvolume's exec-based model. 1. [Backup existing volumes](upgrade.md#backup-existing-volumes). 2. On Rancher UI, navigate to the `Catalog Apps` screen, locate the `Longhorn` app and click the `Up to date` button. Under `Kubernetes Driver`, select `flexvolume`. We recommend leaving `Flexvolume Path` empty. Click `Upgrade`. 3. Restore each volume by following the [Flexvolume restore procedure](restore_statefulset.md#flexvolume-instructions). This procedure is tailored to the StatefulSet workload, but the process is approximately the same for all workloads. ## Upgrade Engine Images ### Offline upgrade If live upgrade is not available (e.g. from v0.1/v0.2 to v0.3): 1. Follow [the detach procedure for relevant workloads](upgrade.md#detach-volumes). 2. Select all the volumes using batch selection. Click batch operation button `Upgrade Engine`, choose the engine image available in the list. It's the default engine shipped with the manager for this release. 3. Resume all workloads by reversing the [detach volumes procedure](upgrade.md#detach-volumes). Any volume not part of a Kubernetes workload must be attached from Longhorn UI. ### Live upgrade (expermential feature) Select all the volumes using batch selection. Click batch operation button `Upgrade Engine`, choose the engine image available in the list. It's the default engine shipped with the manager for this release. ## Note Upgrade is always tricky. Keeping recent backups for volumes is critical. If anything goes wrong, you can restore the volume using the backup. If you have any issues, please report it at https://github.com/rancher/longhorn/issues and include your backup yaml files as well as manager logs.
