Updating OpenShift Clusters

Triggering an update to the cluster is done the same way, whether you're doing an update between z-streams (e.g. 4.9.8 -> 4.9.13) or an upgrade between y-releases (e.g. 4.8.z -> 4.9.z). There are three primary options:

Use the webconsole This is pretty straightforward, browse to the Administration panel, then click the update button. If you're upgrading between y-releases, you may need to change the release stream.
Use the CLI

	#!/bin/sh
	# prepare a CSV of currently installed RPM packages

	echo "NAME;VERSION;RELEASE"
	rpm -qa --queryformat "%{NAME};%{VERSION};%{RELEASE}\n" \| sort -t\; -k 1

	# Block non-proxy traffic from your katello server

	# The following environment variables must be set:
	# SQUID: the FQDN for your proxy
	# PROXY_USERNAME: username for squid
	# PROXY_PASSWORD: password for your squid username

	export ETH=$(ping -c 1 $(hostname) \| grep 'icmp_seq' \| awk -F '(' '{print $2}' \| awk -F ')' '{print $1}')
	export PROXY=$(ping -c 1 $SQUID \| grep 'icmp_seq' \| awk -F '(' '{print $2}' \| awk -F ')' '{print $1}')

	## OpenShift4 pull-secret:

	1. Download your pull-secret from [console.redhat.com](https://console.redhat.com/openshift/install/aws/installer-provisioned)
	- click on “Download Pull Secret”. Save it somewhere, e.g. ~/some-dir/pull-secret
	2. Add the apps.ci auth to pull-secret! _internal OpenShift developers only_
	- Obtain an API token by visiting https://oauth-openshift.apps.ci.l2s4.p1.openshiftapps.com/oauth/token/request
	copy the oc login cmd and paste in terminal to login to the ci cluster, then run this:
	- `$ oc registry login --to ~/some-dir/pull-secret`
	This will append the auth from registry.ci.openshift.org to your cloud.openshift.com pull-secret but it will also
	make the pull-secret multi-line.
