Update TufinOS 3.x to 3.110

Overview

This procedure is for updating TufinOS 3 to the latest version.

TufinOS updates are additions to the current version of the operating system. Unlike upgrades, where you replace the operating system completely, an update is used for enhancing TufinOS with the latest security and performance features as well as address any issues in order to provide a better working experience.

This procedure does not require reinstalling TOS.

The type of procedure you need to perform will depend on your deployment:

  • High Availability:

    • Without downtime - Update the worker nodes, and then update TufinOS on each data node separately. For more information on HA, see High Availability.

      After updating a data node, run tos status and check if the System Status is ok and all the items listed under Components appear as ok. If this is not the case, wait for the database to sync before proceeding to update the next node.

    • With downtime - Power down TOS on all nodes in the cluster and then proceed to update TufinOS on all your nodes.

  • Single data node cluster: First update the worker nodes and then update the data node. During the update itself, there will be some downtime as all TOS processes will need to be stopped and then restarted.

  • High Availability + Remote Collector clusters:

    • Central Cluster - See High Availability bullet above

    • Remote Collector Clusters - First update the worker nodes, and then update TufinOS on the data node. Repeat for each remote cluster. For more information on Remote Collector clusters, see Remote Collectors.

    High availability is not supported for Remote Collector clusters.

  • Single data node cluster + Remote Collector clusters: First update the central cluster: worker nodes and then data node. Afterwards, repeat for each Remote Collector cluster

Some steps are meant to be performed only on the primary data node while others are also for worker nodes, if present on your cluster.

Preliminary Preparations

    1. Check your current TufinOS version:

      cat /etc/tufinos-release

      Your TufinOS release appears in the output. If the command is not recognized, you have a non-TufinOS operating system and cannot update using this procedure.

    2. If there is a supported update path for your TufinOS release, continue with the update. Otherwise, update first to a supported release.

    1. On the primary data node, check the following status.

      [<ADMIN> ~]$ sudo systemctl status k3s
      sudo systemctl status k3s

      2. In the output under the line k3s.service - Aurora Kubernetes, two lines should appear - Loaded... and Active... similar to the example below. If they appear, continue with the next step, otherwise contact Tufin Support for assistance.

      Example output:

      [<ADMIN> ~]$ sudo systemctl status k3s
 [root@TufinOS ~]# systemctl status k3s
 Redirecting to /bin/systemctl status k3s.service
 ● k3s.service - Aurora Kubernetes
    Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/k3s.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)
    Active: active (running) since Tue 2021-08-24 17:14:38 IDT; 1 day 18h ago
      Docs: https://k3s.io

  Main PID: 1250 (k3s-server)
     Tasks: 1042
    Memory: 2.3G

    2. On the same node or nodes, check the TOS status.

      [<ADMIN> ~]$ sudo tos status
      sudo tos status

      3. In the output, if the System Status is Ok and all the items listed under Components appear as ok, continue with the next steps. Otherwise contact Tufin Support for assistance.

      Example output:

      [<ADMIN> ~]$ sudo tos status
 Tufin Orchestration Suite 2.0
  
 System Status: Ok
 System Mode:   Multi Node
  
 Nodes:
   1 Master, 1 Worker. Total 2 nodes. Nodes are healthy.
  
 Components:
   Node:            Ok
   Cassandra:       Ok
   Mongodb:         Ok
   Mongodb_sc:      Ok
   Nats:            Ok
   Neo4j:           Ok
   Postgres:        Ok
   Postgres_sc:     Ok

  3. On the Central cluster primary data node run:

    [<ADMIN> ~]$ sudo tos cluster list
    sudo tos cluster list

    The output shows all connected clusters.

    Example output:

    $ sudo tos cluster list
                                    NAME    ID    IP                TYPE

                                    Central    1                    master
                                RC1        2    192.168.75.156    data_collector

Downloads

  1. Download the TufinOS 3.110 update package from the Download Center to your local machine.

  2. Log in to the node you are updating as the tufin-admin user.

  3. Transfer the TufinOS update package to /opt/tufin/data.

  4. Extract the TOS run file the archive.

    [<ADMIN> ~]$ sudo tar xzvf <FILENAME>.tgz
    sudo tar xzvf <FILENAME>.tgz

    The run file name includes the release, version, and build number.

    TufinOS update file example: TufinOS-4.20-639387-x86_64-8.8-Final-Update.run.tgz

  5. Verify the integrity of the TufinOS installation package.

    [<ADMIN> ~]# sha256sum -c TufinOS-4.20-639387-x86_64-8.8-Final-Update.run.sha256
    sha256sum -c TufinOS-4.20-639387-x86_64-8.8-Final-Update.run.sha256

    The output should return OK

Update TufinOS

Update TufinOS in a High Availability Cluster

  • Update without downtime

      1. Transfer the TufinOS update file <update_file> to the node you are upgrading, to directory /opt/tufin/data.

      2. Switch to the root user

        [<ADMIN> ~]$ sudo su -
        sudo su -

      3. Go to /opt/tufin/data.

        [<ADMIN> ~]# cd /opt/tufin/data
        cd /opt/tufin/data

      4. Run the screen command.

        [<ADMIN> ~]# screen -S update
        sudo screen -S update

      5. Execute the TufinOS update file: 

        [<ADMIN> ~]# sudo sh <update_file>.run
        sudo sh <update_file>.run

      6. When prompted to continue the update, enter yes.

        Do not interrupt the update process. Wait until the successful completion message appears.

      7. After the update is complete, reboot the node:

        [<ADMIN> ~]# sudo reboot
        sudo reboot

      8. Log in to the primary data node.

    • Repeat this procedure for all three data nodes.

      After updating a data node, run tos status and check if the System Status is ok and all the items listed under Components appear as ok. If this is not the case, wait for the database to sync before proceeding to update the next node.

      1. If you are going to perform this procedure over multiple maintenance periods, create a new backup each time.

        1. Create the backup using tos backup create: 

          2. [<ADMIN> ~]$ sudo tos backup create
          sudo tos backup create

          Example output:

          [%=Local.admin-prompt% sudo tos backup create
[Aug 23 16:18:42]  INFO Running backup
Backup status can be monitored with "tos backup status"

        2. You can check the backup creation status using tos backup status, which shows the status of backups in progress. Wait until completion before continuing.

          3. [<ADMIN> ~]$ sudo tos backup status
          sudo tos backup status

          Example output:

          [<ADMIN> ~]$ sudo tos backup status
 Found active backup "23-august-2021-16-18"

        3. Run the following command to display the list of backups saved on the node:

          [<ADMIN> ~]$ sudo tos backup list
          sudo tos backup list

          4. Example output:

          [<ADMIN> ~]$ sudo tos backup list

        6. If your backup files are saved locally:

          1. Run sudo tos backup export to save your backup file from a TOS backup directory as a single .gzip file. If there are other backups present, they will be included as well.

          2. Transfer the exported .gzip file to a safe, remote location.

            Make sure you have the location of your backups safely documented and accessible, including credentials needed to access them, for recovery when needed.

          After the backup is exported, we recommend verifying that the file contents can be viewed by running the following command:

          [Target location]$ tar tzvf <filename>
          tar tzvf <file name>

      2. Transfer the TufinOS update file <update_file> to the node you are upgrading, to directory /opt/tufin/data.

      3. Get the name of the node you want to update by running the following command on any of the data nodes.

         kubectl get node

        A list of nodes which currently exist in the cluster is displayed.

      4. In the output, note the name of the node you want to update.

        5. where <NODENAME> is the name of the node you want to update.

      5. Run the following command:

        6. kubectl drain <NODENAME> --delete-emptydir-data --ignore-daemonsets

        where <NODENAME> is the name of the node you want to update.

      6. Switch to the root user

        [<ADMIN> ~]$ sudo su -
        sudo su -

      7. Go to /opt/tufin/data.

        [<ADMIN> ~]# cd /opt/tufin/data
        cd /opt/tufin/data

      8. Run the screen command.

        [<ADMIN> ~]# screen -S update

Update TufinOS in a High Availability Cluster with Remote Collector Clusters

Follow the procedures above to update the nodes in the Central cluster and the Remote Collector clusters.

After updating all nodes:

    1. Run the following command:

      2. [<ADMIN> ~]$ sudo tos cluster list
      sudo tos cluster list

      The output shows all connected clusters.

      Example output:

      $ sudo tos cluster list
                                          NAME    ID    IP                TYPE

                                          Central    1                    master
                                      RC1        2    192.168.75.156    data_collector

    2. If the Remote Collector cluster is not connected, run the following commands to connect it to the Central cluster, where:

      • CENTRAL-CLUSTER-VIP is the external IP address (VIP) of your central cluster
      • REMOTE-CLUSTER-VIP is the external IP address (VIP) of the server you want to connect (i.e. the current server)
      • REMOTE-CLUSTER-NAME is any alphanumeric string you choose; quotes are not used so you cannot embed spaces
      • OTP is the one-time password returned from the central cluster in the previous step
      [<ADMIN> ~]$ sudo tos cluster connect --central-cluster-vip=CENTRAL-CLUSTER-VIP --remote-cluster-vip=REMOTE-CLUSTER-VIP --remote-cluster-name=REMOTE-CLUSTER-NAME --initial-secret=OTP
      sudo tos cluster connect --central-cluster-vip=CENTRAL-CLUSTER-VIP --remote-cluster-vip=REMOTE-CLUSTER-VIP --remote-cluster-name=REMOTE-CLUSTER-NAME --initial-secret=OTP
