Upgrade to 5.3.1 Kubernetes
Prerequisites
Ensure the Infoworks VM version is upgraded to 5.3.0. To upgrade the VM to 5.3.0, refer to Upgrade to 5.3.0.
Ensure the upgraded VM is running with MongoDB Atlas as the MetaDB. This Atlas Instance must also have connectivity with the Kubernetes Cluster.
The local PostgresDB Services should be running.
NOTE If Infoworks upgrade fails, refer to Infoworks Setup Failure in Kubernetes Cluster due to NGINX.
Procedure
Step 1: Perform a dump on the 5.3.0 VM.
NOTE The tar command must be installed on the VM.
(a) SSH to the 5.3.0 VM
(b) Save the migration script as migrate_postgres.sh.
(c) Provide the Execute Permissions
(d) Declare environment variables
(e) Run the script with the -d flag.
This creates two files: pg_dump_data.sql (the PostgresDB Dump Data) and dags.tar.gz (the tar file containing the airflow dags)
Step 2: Deploy Infoworks 5.3.1 on K8s, giving the same MetaDB parameters as the VM and same PostgresDB parameters as provided in the previous step. For more information, refer to Infoworks Installation on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS).
Step 3: Restore PostGres Data on any VM with connectivity to the PaaS Postgres.
NOTE Thepsql command must be installed on the VM.
(a) SSH to the VM.
(b) SCP the pg_dump_data.sql file to the VM.
(c) Save the migration script as migrate_postgres.sh.
(d) Provide the execute permissions
(e) Ensure the PostgresDB is empty before the following:
If the Database does not exist, ensure the given user has the permissions to create the database.
If it already exists, ensure the given user has complete permissions on the database.
(f) Run the script with the -r flag.
This restores the Postgres Data.
Step 4: Restore the dags data from the Bastion host (any VM with access to the Kubernetes API)
NOTE The tar command must be installed on the VM.
(a) SSH to VM.
(b) SCP the dags.tar.gz file onto the VM.
(c) untar the dags files.
(d) Get the list of pods on the Kubernetes deployment.
(e) Use Kubectl command cp to copy the dag files to the PVC.
This copies the dags files to orchestrator PVC.
