Upgrade Portworx Operator

Before upgrading the StorageCluster, Portworx recommends upgrading the Operator to the latest version. The Operator manages the lifecycle of Portworx components. Follow these steps to upgrade the Portworx Operator:

1. Retrieve the current version of the Portworx Operator:

   kubectl get deployment -n <portworx> portworx-operator -o=jsonpath='{.spec.template.spec.containers[0].image}' && echo

2. Modify the spec.image field in the Portworx Operator deployment resource to update the image version:

   kubectl edit deployment -n <portworx> portworx-operator

   Locate this section:

   spec:
     template:
       spec:
         containers:
         - name: portworx-operator
           image: portworx/px-operator:<current-version>

   Replace <current-version> with <latest-version>, and save the changes.

3. Verify the rollout status to confirm the update was successful:

   kubectl rollout status deployment/portworx-operator -n <portworx>
