Get previously deployed values - Private Cloud (4.2)

View previously deployed values

In this example we save the values in file:  platform_values.txt.

Check so that your namespace is available. $ helm list --namespace <namespace> Example: $ helm list --namespace user1 NAME NAMESPACE REVISION UPDATED STATUS CHART APP VERSION platpod user1 2 2020-09-01 14:57:55.458292074 +0200 CEST deployed usage-engine-private-edition-10.1.0-release-20200824070905.1566f6c 10.1.0 Save the installed values to a file, in the case you need them later in the upgrade. $ helm get values <release_platform> -a --namespace <namespace> > platform_values.txt

Editing the new values.yaml file

View the contents of the installed values.yaml file. Either if you have access to the already installed values.yaml file or look at the platform_values.txt file explained above:

  • cat <current installation> usage-engine-private-edition / values.yaml

Edit and update the new installation's values.yaml file with the site unique values, that you find in the installed values.yaml file.

  • Do NOT change the image tags in the new values.yaml file.

Check the Release Notes for any special considerations concerning the new values.yaml file. Update them accordingly.

  • See: Release Information at Upgrade and Downgrade.

Parameters to check

    $ cat usage-engine-private-edition/values.yaml | grep environment: # Only on-premise and aws supported for now environment: on-premise
  2. Make sure the new tags are pointing at the new image by viewing the file: usage-engine-private-edition / values.yaml

    $ cat usage-engine-private-edition/values.yaml | grep tag:

 

Persistent Storage is required for a possible downgrade

To be prepared for a possible downgrade later, make sure that you have defined Persistent Storage prior to the upgrade. Persistent Storage is mandatory to be able to perform a downgrade.
