Before upgrading the Foundational Services installer version, the installer catalog source image must have the correct tag.
To always use the latest catalog click on where the text ‘latest’ should be inserted into the image below?
Explanation:
Upgrading from version 3.4.x and 3.5.x to version 3.6.xBefore you upgrade the foundational services installer version, make sure that the installer catalog source image has the correct tag.
✑ If, during installation, you had set the catalog source image tag as latest, you do not need to manually change the tag.
✑ If, during installation, you had set the catalog source image tag to a specific version, you must update the tag with the version that you want to upgrade to. Or, you can change the tag to latest to automatically complete future upgrades to the most current version.
To update the tag, complete the following actions.
✑ To update the catalog source image tag, run the following command.
✑ oc edit catalogsource opencloud-operators -n openshift-marketplace
✑ Update the image tag.
✑ spec:
✑ displayName: IBMCS Operators
✑ image: ‘icr.io/cpopen/ibm-common-service-catalog:latest’
✑ publisher: IBM
✑ sourceType: grpc
✑ updateStrategy:
✑ registryPoll:
✑ interval: 45m
✑ To check whether the image tag is successfully updated, run the following command:
✑ oc get catalogsource opencloud-operators -n openshift-marketplace -o jsonpath='{.spec.image}{"n"}{.status.connectionState.lastObservedState}’
The following sample output has the image tag and its status:
icr.io/cpopen/ibm-common-service-catalog:latest
