When you install an {oadp-short} Operator, you choose an update channel. This channel determines which upgrades to the {oadp-short} Operator and to Velero you receive.
The following update channels are available:
-
The stable-1.3 channel contains
{oadp-short}.v1.3.z, the most recent {oadp-short} 1.3ClusterServiceVersion. -
The stable-1.4 channel contains
{oadp-short}.v1.4.z, the most recent {oadp-short} 1.4ClusterServiceVersion. -
Starting with {oadp-short} 1.5 on {product-title} v4.19, {oadp-short} reintroduces the stable channel which contains a single supported {oadp-short} version for a particular {product-title} version.
For more information, see OpenShift Operator Life Cycles.
Which update channel is right for you?
-
If you are already using the stable channel, you will continue to get updates from
{oadp-short}.v1.5.z. -
Choose the stable-1.y update channel to install {oadp-short} 1.y and to continue receiving patches for it. If you choose this channel, you will receive all z-stream patches for version 1.y.z.
When must you switch update channels?
-
If you have {oadp-short} 1.y installed, and you want to receive patches only for that y-stream, you must switch from the stable update channel to the stable-1.y update channel. You will then receive all z-stream patches for version 1.y.z.
-
If you have {oadp-short} 1.0 installed, want to upgrade to {oadp-short} 1.1, and then receive patches only for {oadp-short} 1.1, you must switch from the stable-1.0 update channel to the stable-1.1 update channel. You will then receive all z-stream patches for version 1.1.z.
-
If you have {oadp-short} 1.y installed, with y greater than 0, and want to switch to {oadp-short} 1.0, you must uninstall your {oadp-short} Operator and then reinstall it using the stable-1.0 update channel. You will then receive all z-stream patches for version 1.0.z.

Note

You cannot switch from {oadp-short} 1.y to OADP 1.0 by switching update channels. You must uninstall the Operator and then reinstall it. |
