Dell Technologies (Dell) Container Storage Modules (CSM) for Authorization Upgrade

  1. 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 will fail if it attempts to use images from Docker Hub.

  2. Deprecation Notice Pre-Wire: Starting with CSM 1.13, Authorization v1.x will be deprecated and will be officially discontinued by CSM 1.15 in September 2025. Please switch to Authorization v2.0 before then to avoid any issues. Migration steps are available here.

This section outlines the upgrade steps for Container Storage Modules (CSM) for Authorization. The upgrade of CSM for Authorization RPM is handled in 2 parts:

  • Upgrading the CSM for Authorization proxy server
  • Upgrading the Dell CSI drivers with CSM for Authorization enabled

Upgrading CSM for Authorization proxy server

Obtain the latest single binary installer RPM by following one of our two options here.

To update the rpm package on the system, run the below command from within the extracted folder:

sh install_karavi_auth.sh --upgrade

As an option, on version 1.6.0, the Nodeports for the ingress controller can be specified:


sh install_karavi_auth.sh --upgrade  --traefik_web_port <web port number> --traefik_websecure_port <websecure port number>

Ex.:


sh install_karavi_auth.sh --upgrade  --traefik_web_port 30001 --traefik_websecure_port 30002

To verify that the new version of the rpm is installed and K3s has been updated, run the below commands:

rpm -qa | grep karavi
k3s kubectl version

Note: The above steps manage install and upgrade of all dependencies that are required by the CSM for Authorization proxy server.

Upgrading Dell CSI Driver(s) with CSM for Authorization enabled

Given a setup where the CSM for Authorization proxy server is already upgraded to the latest version, follow the upgrade instructions for the applicable CSI Driver(s) to upgrade the driver and the CSM for Authorization sidecar

This section outlines the rollback steps for Container Storage Modules (CSM) for Authorization.

Rollback CSM for Authorization proxy server
