Upgrading Drivers with Dell CSM Operator
You can update CSI Drivers installed by the Dell CSM Operator like any Kubernetes resource:
- Get the driver-object details using kubectl command:
kubectl get csm -n powerstore
kubectl get csm -n isilon
kubectl get csm -n vxflexos
kubectl get csm -n powermax
kubectl get csm -n unity
- Use the object name in the kubectl edit command:
kubectl edit csm powerstore -n powerstore
kubectl edit csm isilon -n isilon
kubectl edit csm vxflexos -n vxflexos
kubectl edit csm powermax -n powermax
kubectl edit csm unity -n unity
Modify the installation as needed, typically updating driver versions, sidecars, and environment variables.
- Refer how to upgrade guide if you have more questions
Warning
Starting with Container Storage Module 1.12, all deployments will need to use images from quay.io . Please note that from CSM 1.14 (May 2025), upgrading will fail if it attempts to use images from Docker Hub.
Supported modifications
- Changing environment variable values for driver
- Updating the image of the driver
- Upgrading the driver version
NOTES:
- If you are trying to upgrade the CSI driver from an older version, make sure to modify the configVersion field if required.
driver: configVersion: v2.13.0
Warning
Don’t update the original CustomResource manifest file with kubectl apply -f. It can overwrite important annotations and cause failures.
