Updating CDP Private Cloud Data Services

You can update your existing CDP Private Cloud Data Services 1.4.1 or 1.5.0 to 1.5.1 without performing an uninstall. After the update is complete, you may need to upgrade the underlying OpenShift Container Platform. See the Software Support Matrix for OpenShift for more information about supported OCP versions.

Review the Software Support Matrix for OpenShift.
As of CDP Private Cloud Data Services 1.5.1, external metadata databases are no longer supported. If you are upgrading from CDP Private Cloud Data Services 1.4.1 or 1.5.0 to 1.5.1, and you were previously using an external Control Plane database, you must run the following psql commands to create the required databases. You should also ensure that the three new databases are owned by the common database users known by the control plane.
```
CREATE DATABASE db-dss-app;
CREATE DATABASE db-cadence;
CREATE DATABASE db-cadence-visibility;
```
If you are upgrading from CDP Private Cloud Data Services 1.4.1 or 1.5.0 to 1.5.1, and you were previously using an external Control Plane database, you must regenerate the DB certificate with SAN before upgrading to CDP Private Cloud Data Services 1.5.1.
Make a backup of the OpenShift routes before upgrading to 1.5.1.

Ensure that you have the following before you update:

Ensure that the kubeconfig has permissions to create Kubernetes namespaces.
Back up all of the external databases used by CDP Private Cloud Data Services.
One or more environments registered in CDP Private Cloud Data Services.
One of the registered environment has one or more Cloudera Data Warehouse (CDW) or Cloudera Machine Learning (CML) experience workspaces.
A Kubeconfig file for the OCP cluster.
Access to the Cloudera Private Cloud repositories (archive.cloudera.com).
Administrator access to OCP and Privileged access to your external Vault.

In Cloudera Manager, navigate to CDP Private Cloud Data Services and click . Click Update.
On the Getting Started page, you can select the Install method - Air Gapped or Internet and proceed.

Internet install method

Air Gapped install method

Click Continue.
On the Collect Information page, upload a Kubernetes configuration (kubeconfig) file from your existing environment. You can obtain this file from your OpenShift Container Platform administrator. Click Continue.
On the Update Progress page, you can see the progress of your update. Click Continue.

During the "Upgrade Control Plane" step of the CDP upgrade process, the grafana pod can get stuck in the terminating sate. This usually means that all other Control Plane pods are in the running state, but for grafana, there is one pod that is in running state and there is one pod that is stuck in terminating state. The terminating pod has the following message:
containers with incomplete status: [multilog-init grafana-sc-datasources]
If you search for the terminating pod id in the kubelet log on the host, the following error message can be found:
E0531 2209 kuberuntime_sandbox.go:70] CreatePodSandbox for pod "<pod id>" failed: rpc error: code = Unknown desc = error reading container (probably exited) json message: EOF
If there is a granfa pod stuck in terminating state, run the following command on the ECS Server host:
<grafana-pod-id> --force --grace-period=0
After the update is complete, the Summary page appears. You can now Launch CDP Private Cloud from here.

Or you can navigate to the CDP Private Cloud Data Services page and click Open CDP Private Cloud Data Services.

CDP Private Cloud Data Services opens up in a new window.

After upgrade, the Cloudera Manager admin role may be missing the Host Administrators privilege in an upgraded cluster. The cluster administrator should run the following command to manually add this privilege to the role.
```
ipa role-add-privilege <cmadminrole> --privileges="Host Administrators"
```
If you need to restore the control plane on a CDP Private Cloud Data Services1.5.1 OpenShift cluster using a 1.5.0 backup, contact Cloudera Customer Support.
