En esta página, se describen los pasos para actualizar y aplicar parches al dispositivo de dispositivo aislado de Google Distributed Cloud (GDC).
Prepárate para la actualización
Antes de la actualización, asegúrate de cumplir con los requisitos que se indican en esta sección.
Antes de comenzar
Revisa los requisitos de la laptop para asegurarte de que la que usas para las actualizaciones y las actualizaciones de parches cumpla con las especificaciones físicas y otros requisitos.
Primero, debes completar las siguientes acciones relacionadas con las herramientas de la interfaz de línea de comandos (CLI) de gdcloud:
Copia la actualización en el entorno aislado, usando tu unidad USB.
Copia la secuencia de comandos del descargador y el directorio gdch que descargaste en tu unidad USB en el paso 1 a la máquina de actualización en el entorno aislado.
En la máquina de actualización, verifica el contenido y extrae los archivos con la misma información que usaste para descargar el paquete. Por ejemplo, el siguiente código copia el paquete en el directorio /root.
Para autenticarte con tu proveedor de identidad configurado y solicitar un archivo kubeconfig para tu identidad de usuario y clúster, consulta Autenticación.
Ejecuta las verificaciones previas en la máquina de actualización.
Ejecuta las verificaciones previas para el almacenamiento de OTS.
Envía los artefactos al registro de artefactos.
Actualiza el software y el firmware del dispositivo, incluidos los siguientes elementos:
Es el clúster de administrador raíz de GDC.
Servicios de GDC
Sistemas operativos (SO) de nodos físicos y virtuales
El interruptor
Almacenamiento
El comando controla las actualizaciones en secuencia y espera a que se complete cada paso. Después de completar los pasos y si la actualización se realiza correctamente, verás un mensaje similar al siguiente:

[Download](/distributed-cloud/hosted/docs/latest/appliance/resources/gdcloud-download) the `gdcloud` CLI tools.\n2. [Install](/distributed-cloud/hosted/docs/latest/appliance/resources/gdcloud-install) the `gdcloud` CLI tools.\n3. [Upgrade](/distributed-cloud/hosted/docs/latest/appliance/resources/gdcloud-upgrade) the `gdcloud` CLI tools as required.\n4. Ensure the [`docker-credential-gdcloud`](/distributed-cloud/hosted/docs/latest/appliance/infrastructure/io-operations-30/push-container-image#before-you-begin) is present.\n\n### Transfer the artifacts to the upgrade machine\n\nYou must have access to the Cloud Storage bucket.\n\nFollow these steps to transfer the artifacts to the laptop you use for the update and patch upgrades:\n\n1. Download the package based on the selected patch version:\n\n VERSION=\u003cx.x.x-gdch.yyy\u003e\n RELEASE_SUFFIX=\"_te\"\n DOWNLOADER=gdch-downloader-prod${RELEASE_SUFFIX}-$VERSION.sh\n gcloud storage cp \"gs://$GCS_BUCKET/$VERSION/$DOWNLOADER\" .\n gcloud storage cp \"gs://$GCS_BUCKET/$VERSION/${DOWNLOADER}.sig\" .\n\n PUBLIC_KEY=$(cat \u003c\u003c-PUBEND\n -----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----\n MFkwEwYHKoZIzj0CAQYIKoZIzj0DAQcDQgAEn46iVSyFXsvuKLZ4dVOr2AqlXDnR\n 5cKztkpraexHDxn/ozq03EvrdkRmZkSACFfcaEFyitpraidgAx8sPjvzXQ==\n -----END PUBLIC KEY-----\n PUBEND\n )\n echo \"${PUBLIC_KEY}\" \u003e \"key.pub\"\n DOWNLOADER=gdch-downloader-${PRODUCT}-$VERSION.sh\n\n gcloud storage cp \"gs://${GCS_BUCKET:-private-cloud-release}/$VERSION/$DOWNLOADER*\" .\n openssl dgst -sha256 -verify \"key.pub\" -signature \"${DOWNLOADER}.sig\" ${DOWNLOADER} && chmod +x $DOWNLOADER && ./$DOWNLOADER --skip-unzip\n\n This command fetches the update package and the downloader script to the current directory, for example, `/home/download`.\n2. Run `tree -L 3 /home/download`.\n\n Example output: \n\n /home/download\n ├── gdch\n │ └── x.x.x-gdch.x\n │ ├── bootstrapper\n │ │ ├── bootstrapper.iso\n │ │ └── bootstrapper.iso.sig\n │ ├── gdch-prod_te-x.x.x-gdch.x-sbom.tar.gz\n │ ├── gdch-prod_te-x.x.x-gdch.x-sbom.tar.gz.sig\n │ ├── prod_te_gdch.tar.gz\n │ └── prod_te_gdch.tar.gz.sig\n ├── gdch-downloader-prod_te-x.x.x-gdch.x.sh\n ├── gdch-downloader-prod_te-x.x.x-gdch.x.sh.1.sig\n ├── gdch-downloader-prod_te-x.x.x-gdch.x.sh.sig\n └── key.pub\n\n3. Copy the update to the air-gapped environment, using your USB drive.\n\n Copy both the downloader script and the `gdch` directory that you downloaded to your USB drive in [step 1](#download-pkg-step) to the upgrade machine in the air-gapped environment.\n4. In the upgrade machine, verify the contents and extract the files using the same information you used to download the package. For example, the following code copies the package to the `/root` directory.\n\n Unpack the package: \n\n VERSION=x.x.x-gdch.x\n PRODUCT=prod_te\n DOWNLOADER=gdch-downloader-${PRODUCT}-$VERSION.sh\n openssl dgst -sha256 -verify \"key.pub\" -signature \"${DOWNLOADER}.sig\" ${DOWNLOADER} && chmod +x $DOWNLOADER && ./$DOWNLOADER --skip-download\n\n The package is unpacked at the `/root/gdch/full-release-x.x.x-gdch.x` path.\n5. Confirm that the version matches the one that you set in VERSION:\n\n /root/gdch/full-release-x.x.x-gdch.x/gdcloud version\n\n Sample output: \n\n gdcloud version: 1.14.4-gdch.0\n\n | **Note:** From here on, all CLI commands must use the gdcloud binary from the recently downloaded artifacts.\n\nAuthenticate\n------------\n\nTo authenticate with your configured identity provider and request a kubeconfig file for your user identity and cluster, see [Authenticate](/distributed-cloud/hosted/docs/latest/appliance/resources/gdcloud-auth).\n\n1. [Sign in](/distributed-cloud/hosted/docs/latest/appliance/platform/pa-user/iam/sign-in) and request the following [roles](/distributed-cloud/hosted/docs/latest/appliance/platform/pa-user/iam/set-up-role-bindings#gdcloud):\n\n - Upgrade Appliance Admin\n - System Artifact Management Admin\n - System Artifact Management Secrets Admin\n - DNS Suffix Viewer\n - System Artifact Registry Monitor\n2. Configure the docker:\n\n gdcloud auth configure-docker\n\nStart the upgrade\n-----------------\n\nGo through the following steps to start the appliance upgrade: \n\n gdcloud appliance upgrade \n\nSee [`gdcloud appliance upgrade`](/distributed-cloud/hosted/docs/latest/appliance/resources/gdcloud-reference/gdcloud-appliance-upgrade) for more information.\n\nThe command runs the following steps:\n\n1. Runs the preflight checks on the upgrade machine.\n2. Runs the preflight checks for OTS storage\n3. Pushes the artifacts to the artifact registry.\n4. Upgrades the appliance software and firmware, including:\n 1. GDC root-admin cluster.\n 2. GDC services.\n 3. The operating systems (OSes) of physical and virtual nodes.\n 4. The switch.\n 5. Storage\n\nThe command drives the updates in sequence, and waits for each step to complete. After completing the steps and if the upgrade is successful, you see a message similar to the following: \n\n The GDC appliance upgrade completed successfully"]]
