OSX: https://get.swimlane.io/turbine/existing-cluster/install/osx Linux: https://get.swimlane.io/turbine/existing-cluster/install/linux

Untar the file:

tar zxf kots_<OS version>.tar.gz

Rename the kots binary to kubectl-kots:

mv kots kubectl-kots

Move the kubectl-kots binary into your PATH so that it can be recognized by kubectl (e.g. /usr/local/bin/)

mv kubectl-kots /usr/local/bin/

Run the upgrade command:

kubectl kots admin-console upgrade -n <namespace>

When the upgrade is complete, login to the Turbine Installer dashboard (https://<SwimlaneDNS>:8800).

Upgrade Turbine on Embedded Airgap Cluster Installations

Use the following instructions to upgrade this version of Swimlane on an embedded cluster installation.

Prerequisites:

Turbine version 23.5.x+If you are not on a version that is >= 11.0, contact your Swimlane support representative.

Upgrade Instructions

Copy the latest offline installer package to each airgapped server.

Untar the offline installer package on each server.

$ tar -xzvf turbine-24.2.5.tar.gz

Run the Turbine Platform Installer update on any node in your deployment:

$ cat install.sh | sudo bash -s airgap ha

Once the installation is complete, if you have a multi-node (HA) cluster, the script prompts you to run an additional command on every node:

Run this script on node swimlane-2 to load required images before proceeding: cat ./tasks.sh | sudo bash -s load-images Have images been loaded on node swimlane-2? (Y/n)

cat ./tasks.sh | sudo bash -s load-images

on nodes two (2) and node three (3) before proceeding to run the command on node one (1). This command can be run simultaneously on nodes 2 and 3. Once the load-images script completes on nodes 2 and 3, enter Y in the node 1 terminal session twice.

When the upgrade script completes, press Enter on node 1 and then upload the airgap bundle to the SPI dashboard.

Go to the Version History tab and click Upload a new version, then browse to the turbine-24.2.5.airgap file and click Upload.

The sequence number “_xxx” of the airgap file may be higher than shown if a new sequence has been published.

Once the upload of the airgap completes, refresh the page or switch tabs to see the status of the file extraction.

$ scp kotsadm.tar.gz user@<swimlaneDNS>:/tmp/kotsadm.tar.gz

$ scp kots_<OS version>.tar.gz user@<swimlaneDNS>:/tmp/kots_<OS version>.tar.gz

Untar the SPI Kubectl Add-on:

$ tar -zxvf kots_<OS version>.tar.gz
