As a user of an Openstack cloud, the installed Openstack version is hidden from you. You can, however, obtain the API versions offered by the various services, which would probably give you a clue. Since you want to upgrade the cloud, you are not just a user and have access to the cloud's installation. To see which version of Openstack is installed, log on to a controller and run nova-manage --version See also https://stackoverflow.com/a/56134223. Then you have to check the upgrade instructions. In the past, upgrading to the next higher version was supported; I think by now it's possible to jump one version and go to N+2, where N is the current version. Also, some deployment frameworks have upgrade tools built-in. For example, https://docs.openstack.org/kolla-ansible/latest/user/operating-kolla.html. -----Original Message----- From: smooney@redhat.com <smooney@redhat.com> Sent: Thursday, July 25, 2024 10:51 PM To: kjme001@gmail.com; openstack-discuss@lists.openstack.org Subject: Re: how upgrade OpenStack version 5.8.0 to 6.1.0 On Thu, 2024-07-25 at 13:08 +0000, kjme001@gmail.com wrote:
what client? openstack --version openstack 5.8.0
the command you are runing is the python openstack client when you run openstack --version it is reporting the version of the client not the cloud. each project in a cloud has its own version number there is not openstack 5.8.0 there is however an openstack clinet verison of 5.8.0 and that client cna be use with many diffent openstack cloud with differnt version fo openstack service installed.
