PowerScale

Upgrade PowerScale CSI driver

Starting with CSM 1.12, all deployments will need to use images from quay.io. Please note that from CSM 1.14 (May 2025), upgrading with helm will fail if it attempts to use images from Docker Hub.

You can upgrade the CSI Driver for Dell PowerScale using Helm or Dell CSM Operator.

Upgrade Driver from version 2.11.0 to 2.12.0 using Helm

Note: While upgrading the driver via helm, controllerCount variable in myvalues.yaml can be at most one less than the number of worker nodes.

Steps

  1. Clone the repository using git clone -b v2.12.0 https://github.com/dell/csi-powerscale.git

  2. Change to directory dell-csi-helm-installer to install the Dell PowerScale cd dell-csi-helm-installer

  3. Download the default values.yaml using following command:

    wget -O my-isilon-settings.yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dell/helm-charts/csi-isilon-2.12.0/charts/csi-isilon/values.yaml

    Edit the my-isilon-settings.yaml as per the requirements.

  4. Upgrade the CSI Driver for Dell PowerScale using following command:

    ./csi-install.sh --namespace isilon --values ./my-isilon-settings.yaml --helm-charts-version <version> --upgrade

NOTE:

  • The parameter --helm-charts-version is optional and if you do not specify the flag, by default the csi-install.sh script will clone the version of the helm chart that is specified in the driver’s csi-install.sh file. If you wish to install the driver using a different version of the helm chart, you need to include this flag. Also, remember to delete the helm-charts repository present in the csi-powerscale directory if it was cloned before.

Upgrade using Dell CSM Operator

Note: Upgrading the Operator does not upgrade the CSI Driver.

  1. Please upgrade the Dell CSM Operator by following here
