How to Upgrade #

Run a Preflight Check #

PachD has a preflight check mode that you can enable in your Helm chart by setting pachd.preflightchecks.enabled to true. Preflight checks run as a Kubernetes job, and can use a different version of Pachyderm than the rest of the chart. In this case, you will set it to the version you are upgrading to (for example, the latest version is 2.11.4).

Example configuration:

preflightCheckJob:
    enabled: true
    image:
        tag: "2.11.4"

You’ll see a pod named pachyderm-preflight-check was created to perform the preflight checks.

If its status says completed, you are ready to continue with the upgrade.
If its status does not say completed, reach out to the Pachyderm team for assistance with your upgrade.

Upgrade #

Run the following brew command or download & install the latest release assets:
```
brew tap pachyderm/tap && brew install pachyderm/tap/pachctl@2.11  
```
Upgrade Helm.
Note that the repo name input (pachd) must match the name you provided upon first install. You can also pass in a specific version (e.g., --version x.x.0-rc.1) if you are testing a pre-released version of Pachyderm.
helm repo update helm upgrade pachyderm pachyderm/pachyderm -f my_pachyderm_values.yaml \ --set proxy.enabled=true \ --set proxy.service.type=LoadBalancer
Note that the repo name input (pachd) must match the name you provided upon first install. You can also pass in a specific version (e.g., --version x.x.0-rc.1) if you are testing a pre-released version of Pachyderm.
helm repo update helm upgrade pachyderm pachyderm/pachyderm \ --set deployTarget=LOCAL \ --set proxy.enabled=true \ --set proxy.service.type=LoadBalancer \ --set pachd.storage.backend=AMAZON

Verify that the installation was successful by running pachctl version:

pachctl version 

# COMPONENT           VERSION  
# pachctl             2.11.4 
# pachd               2.11.4
