Trove upgrade

Before upgrading Trove, it is recommended to read https://docs.openstack.org/operations-guide/ops-upgrades.html first.

Normally, before Trove service upgrade, a new guest image needs to be rebuilt and used to rebuild the guest instance when the interfaces between Trove controller and guest agent change. Otherwise, the newer version Trove controller can’t talk to the older version guest agent.

Basically, the Trove service upgrade process consists of the following steps:

  1. Build new guest image based on new Trove code.

  2. Trove database migration.

  3. Prepare service config files and upgrade Trove controller services.

  4. Register new datastore version using the new guest image.

  5. Upgrade Trove instance (trove-guestagent).

Upgrade Trove in DevStack

This is an example in DevStack to provide a basic idea of Trove upgrade process. The commands in each step could be different between different Trove deployment environments.

Before upgrading

If upgrading Trove from Ussuri to Victoria, the end users need to backup their instances first and re-create new instances using backups after upgrade. From Victoria onwards, the instance (trove-guestagent service) upgrade could happen in place and can be triggered by the cloud administrator.

Skip this section if you are using Trove Victoria or newer version. The steps below only applied to the cloud with Trove Ussuri.

Note

The latest version of python-troveclient to communicate with Trove Ussuri is 3.3.1. Some CLI parameters are changed since Victoria release.

In this example, we create a new db instance and use this instance for upgrade testing.

$ openstack database instance create test \
    $flavorid \
    --size 1 \
    --nic net-id=$netid \
    --datastore mysql --datastore-version 5.7 \
    --databases testdb --users user:password \
    --is-public
$ openstack database instance list
+--------------------------------------+------+-----------+-------------------+---------+---------------------------+--------------------------------------+------+-----------+
| ID                                   | Name | Datastore | Datastore Version | Status  | Addresses                 | Flavor ID                            | Size | Region    |
+--------------------------------------+------+-----------+-------------------+---------+---------------------------+--------------------------------------+------+-----------+
| adae9a37-2c14-4dcb-9abd-66b8c3d5808b | test | mysql     | 5.7               | HEALTHY | 10.111.0.27, 172.30.5.107 | 55d9c9ac-b136-4dcf-9a1d-ecb7077697f9 |    1 | RegionOne |
+--------------------------------------+------+-----------+-------------------+---------+---------------------------+--------------------------------------+------+-----------+

In order to test upgrade, we insert some data to the database:

$ ip=172.30.5.107
$ mysql -u user -ppassword -h $ip testdb
CREATE TABLE Persons (PersonID int, LastName varchar(255), FirstName varchar(255), Address varchar(255), City varchar(255));
insert into Persons VALUES (1, 'Kong', 'Lingxian', '150 Willis Street', 'Wellington');

Now we create a backup for the instance:

$ dbid=adae9a37-2c14-4dcb-9abd-66b8c3d5808b
$ openstack database backup create $dbid backup-01
$ openstack database backup list

Upgrade Trove services

  1. Go to the Trove source code directory, checkout to stable/victoria branch.

  2. Build new guest image based on new Trove code.

    Here we are building a dev-mode guest image.

    $ stackdir=/opt/stack
    $ $stackdir/trove/integration/scripts/trovestack build-image ubuntu jammy true ubuntu
    
  3. Trove database migration.

    On trove controller node:

    $ trove-manage --config-file /etc/trove/trove.conf db_upgrade
    
  4. Prepare service config files and upgrade Trove controller services.

    You need to read Trove release notes to check if there are extra required config options in the new release.

    After configuration, restart Trove services:

    $ sudo systemctl restart apache2.service; sudo systemctl restart devstack@tr-*
    
  5. Update the existing datastore version using the new guest image.

    We use MySQL datastore for an example. The following commands should be running using trove service tenant credentials.

    $ imageid=$(openstack image create trove-guest-victoria-ubuntu-jammy-dev \
        --private \
        --disk-format qcow2 --container-format bare \
        --file ${imagefile-path} \
        --property hw_rng_model='virtio' \
        --tag trove \
        -c id -f value)
    

    If the datastore version is already configured with image tag, e.g. we use trove here, you don’t need to do anything, trove can pick up the new image automatically for creating new instances. Otherwise, you need to either config image ID for the datastore version or update the datastore version to use image tag.

    Update image ID of the datastore version:

    $ openstack datastore version set <datastore-version-id> --image $imageid
    

    Or, to use image tag for the datastore version:

    $ openstack datastore version set <datastore-version-id> --image-tags trove
    

Upgrade Trove guest agent

  • Upgrade from Ussuri.

    Note

    It’s recommended to upgrade python-troveclient to the latest version first. You may notice some parameters are different with the examples above.

    In the example above, we have created a instance and backup before upgrading. Now it’s time to create new instance using the backup.

    $ openstack database instance create test-upgrade \
      --flavor $flavorid \
      --size 1 \
      --nic net-id=$netid \
      --datastore mysql --datastore-version 5.7.29 \
      --is-public \
      --backup 5c21437f-02b3-43e0-8108-99a3497d68ad
    $ openstack database instance list

    +--------------------------------------+--------------+-----------+-------------------+---------+--------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+------+------+
    

    Query the database to make sure there is no data missing.

    $ ip=172.30.5.204
    $ mysql -u user -ppassword -h $ip testdb -e "select * from Persons;"
    +----------+----------+-----------+-------------------+------------+
    | PersonID | LastName | FirstName | Address           | City       |
    +----------+----------+-----------+-------------------+------------+
    |        1 | Kong     | Lingxian  | 150 Willis Street | Wellington |
    +----------+----------+-----------+-------------------+------------+
    

    After the new db instance is working as expected, the old one (and its backups) could be removed. Your database client needs to use the new address in the connection string unless database dns is supported in the future.

  • Upgrade from Victoria or newer release.

    From Victoria release, trove provides API to rebuild the existing instances using the new guest image, the IP address and configurations won’t change after instance rebuild. The rebuild API is only available to cloud administrators by default.

    Caution

    During rebuild, the existing database connections will be dropped, the cloud users must be notified.

    $ openstack database instance rebuild $dbid $imageid
    

    Once the instance is back to HEALTHY, you can verify the data using the same database connection string as before.
