Download Description

IBM Netcool Operations Insight 1.6.3.2 addresses a critical security fix.

Prerequisites

Check CSV

Verify the 1.6.3.2 CSV version by running the following commands:

oc get packagemanifest | egrep noi
oc get csv| egrep noi
oc get subscription

If the CSV is noi.v1.3.2, the updated catalog source can update the CSV. To update from the latest 1.6.3.2 CSV version, run the following commands:

# oc get packagemanifest | egrep noi
noi                                                  noi                   35m

# oc get subscription
NAME   PACKAGE   SOURCE    CHANNEL
noi    noi       noi1632   v1.5

# oc get installplan
NAME            CSV          APPROVAL    APPROVED
install-9blbs   noi.v1.3.2   Automatic   true
 

If the CSV is noi-operator.v1.3.2, the updated catalog source will not be able to update the CSV.

To update from this 1.6.3.2 CSV version, run the following commands:

# oc get csv
NAME                       DISPLAY                                        VERSION   REPLACES   PHASE
noi-operator.v1.3.2        IBM Cloud Pak for Watson AIOps Event Manager   1.3.2                Succeeded

# oc get installplan
NAME            CSV                   APPROVAL    APPROVED
install-s6grc   noi-operator.v1.3.2   Automatic   true

# oc get subscription
NAME                           PACKAGE        SOURCE            CHANNEL
ibm-noi-catalog-subscription   noi-operator   ibm-noi-catalog   v1.5

Run the following commands to remove the obsolete subscription and CSV. An extra step is then required during installation to re-create the subscription and CSV for IBM Netcool Operations Insight on Red Hat OpenShift.

oc delete subscription ibm-noi-catalog-subscription  
oc delete csv noi-operator.v1.3.2
