US 2019/0171435 A1 · DISTRIBUTED UPGRADE IN VIRTUALIZED COMPUTING ENVIRONMENTS

Abstract

Example methods and systems to perform distributed upgrade of a component in a virtualized computing environment are disclosed. One method may include processing an upgrade bundle and querying a status file saved on the component to obtain an upgrade progress of the component. In response to a first task identifier indicating a completion of a first task associated with a first upgrade step, the method may include performing a second task and recording a second task identifier of the second task to indicate the completion or failure of the second task in the status file. In response to the first task identifier indicating a failure of the first task, the method may include performing the first task and updating the first task identifier to indicate the completion or failure of the first task in the status file.

Dependent claims

A method to perform distributed upgrade of a component in a virtualized computing environment, comprising:

processing an upgrade bundle comprising a main upgrade logic and an upgrade step logic, wherein the main upgrade logic is configured to orchestrate the upgrade process of the component, and the upgrade step logic is configured to alter an operation of the component;
querying, by the upgrade logic, a status file saved on the component to obtain an upgrade progress of the component, wherein the upgrade progress is associated with a first task identifier of a first task, which corresponds to a first upgrade step associated with the operation;
and
in response to the first task identifier indicating a completion of the first task, performing a second task;
and
recording, by the upgrade logic, a second task identifier of the second task to indicate the completion or failure of the second task in the status file;
in response to the first task identifier indicating a failure of the first task, performing the first task;
and
updating, by the upgrade logic, the first task identifier to indicate the completion or failure of the first task in the status file.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that includes a set of instructions which, in response to execution by a processor of a computer system, cause the processor to implement a method of performing distributed upgrade of a component in a virtualized computing environment, wherein the method comprises:

processing an upgrade bundle comprising a main upgrade logic and an upgrade step logic, wherein the main upgrade logic is configured to orchestrate the upgrade process of the component, and the upgrade step logic is configured to alter an operation of the component;
querying, by the upgrade logic, a status file saved on the component to obtain an upgrade progress of the component, wherein the upgrade progress is associated with a first task identifier of a first task corresponding to a first upgrade step associated with the operation;
and
in response to the first task identifier indicating a completion of the first task, performing a second task;
and
recording, by the upgrade logic, a second task identifier of the second task to indicate the completion or failure of the second task in the status file;
in response to the first task identifier indicating a failure of the first task, performing the first task;
and
updating, by the upgrade logic, the first task identifier to indicate the completion or failure of the first task in the status file.

A computer system configured to perform performing distributed upgrade of a component in a virtualized computing environment, comprising:

a processor;
and
a non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions that, in response to execution by the processor, cause the processor to:
process an upgrade bundle comprising a main upgrade logic and an upgrade step logic, wherein the main upgrade logic is configured to orchestrate the upgrade process of the component and the upgrade step logic is configured to alter an operation of the component;
query, by the upgrade logic, a status file saved on the component to obtain an upgrade progress of the component, wherein the upgrade progress is associated with a first task identifier of a first task corresponding to a first upgrade step associated with the operation;
and
in response to the first task identifier indicating a completion of the first task, perform a second task;
and
record, by the upgrade logic, a second task identifier of the second task to indicate the completion or failure of the second task in the status file;
in response to the first task identifier indicating a failure of the first task, perform the first task;
and
update, by the upgrade logic, the first task identifier to indicate the completion or failure of the first task in the status file.
