Update Module

Overview

The suite administrator can only upgrade the module to later versions of the software and will not be able to revert to an earlier version of the software.

Module lifecycle management is already incorporated in the CloudCenter Suite SaaS offer, see SaaS Access for additional details.

Considerations

Before updating a module, see the following module considerations:

Workload Manager Installation Overview > Module Update Considerations
Cost Optimizer Overview > Module Update Considerations
Action Orchestrator > Migrating Database

Limitations

Only a suite administrator can update a module.

Once a new software version becomes available, the module displays the new version availability and provides a link to the documentation website.

Process

Before updating any module, verify that you have un-allocated CPU/Memory in your cluster to ensure that your environment has free CPU/Memory – a module-update scenario requires additional resources for the old pod to continue running until the new pod initializes and takes over. This additional resource requirement is temporary and only required while a module update is in Progress. After the module is updated, the additional resources are no longer needed.
You must update the Suite Admin module before you update any other CloudCenter Suite module.
Update only one module at at time. If you simultaneously update more than one module, your update process may fail due to limited resource availability. See Prepare Infrastructure for additional context.
You may see one or more error messages during the update process. Be aware that these messages will not affect the update itself.

To update a module, follow this process.

Navigate to the Suite Admin Dashboard.
Select the required version and click Done to upgrade this module. The following screenshot displays Cost Optimizeras an example. All available releases are displayed in the dropdown list in descending order with the latest version at the start of the list.
The module starts its upgrade process and displays a progress bar indicator.
Once Installed, you can click the module to access the details of that module
or
Navigate to other modules using the module navigation icon in the header as displayed in the following screenshot.

You have now updated the modules in the CloudCenter Suite.
