Update containerized PostgreSQL pod

The procedure describes the steps to update the image for NetBackup PostgreSQL pod in 11.0 or later.

To update the containerized PostgreSQL pod for NetBackup version 11.0 or later

Consider a scenario - In 11.1.x.x.xxxx deployment with netbackup-postgresql version 16.10.x.x, upgrade to netbackup-postgresql version 16.10.x.x using tag 11.1.x.x.xxxx

  1. Suspend the backup job processing using the command:

    nbpemreq -suspend_scheduling

  2. Load, tag, and push the new NetBackup PostgreSQL image using the commands:

    To load the PostgreSQL imagedocker load -i VRTSnetbackup-postgresql-16.4.0002.tar.gz

    To load the PostgreSQL-upgrade imagesdocker load -i VRTSnetbackup-postgresql-upgrade-16.4-0002.tar.gz

    To tag the new imagesdocker tag netbackup/postgresql:16.4-0002 exampleacr.azurecr.io/netbackup/postgresql:11.1.x.x.xxxx

    docker tag localhost/netbackup/postgresql-upgrade:16.4-0002 exampleacr.azurecr.io/netbackup/postgresql-upgrade:11.1.x.x.xxxx_patch2

    To push the PostgreSQL imagedocker push exampleacr.azurecr.io/netbackup/postgresql:11.1.x.x.xxxx

    docker push exampleacr.azurecr.io/netbackup/postgresql-upgrade:11.1.x.x.xxxx-patch2

  3. Upgrade the PostgreSQL using Helm chart:

    To save PostgreSQL chart values to a file: helm get values cloudscale -n <namespace> > csvalues.yaml vi csvalues.yaml

    Edit the image tags for postgresql and postgresql-upgrade:

    vi csvalues.yaml

    Upgrade the PostgreSQL: helm upgrade --install cloudscale <cloudscale tgz> -n <namespace> -f csvalues.yaml

  4. Resume the backup job processing using the command:

    nbpemreq -resume_scheduling
