Upgrade Portworx Central and its components

Upgrades with License server and px-monitor

If you have only license server or px-monitor component and try to upgrade to Portworx Central version to 2.7.3 or 2.8.0 from older versions, pre-upgrade-check fails with the following error:

time="2025-05-21T04:59:01Z" level=fatal msg="Error during common setup for pre-upgrade: failed to create validation report: Failed to get Portworx Backup source version: GetPXBackupVersion: failed to get PX-Backup deployment: deployments.apps \"px-backup\" not found"

In such scenarios, perform the following steps to resolve the issue and proceed further:

  1. Delete the pre-upgrade-check job and pre-upgrade-data-pvc in the installed namespace (namespace where you have installed PX-central) and retry the upgrade by adding the following additional parameter to the helm upgrade command. --no-hooks

    Sample command format:

    helm upgrade px-central portworx/px-central --namespace central --version <pxc-version> --no-hooks -f values-px-upgrade.yaml

    Ensure that you replace <pxc-version> with your Portworx Central version.

The following topics explain how you can upgrade Portworx Central from 1.2.1 versions to 2.9.0 and enable its components.
