Hey, i tired to upgrade my longhorn install and along the way thing went wrong. Rancher now thinks it should upgrade from 1.7 to 1.9 while i have 1.6.4 installed and running. How can i get rancher to recognise whats the actual version installed and offer the other upgrade versions (from 1.6.4 to 1.7.3)? I'm kinda lost and google is not helping 😞

The install may be on that version, and it's just the application of the change by helm failed. In the UI try just editing the application, that may re-apply the change using the version helm believes it installed

Hey, had a quick look. But when doing an edit on longhorn it only shows same versions and goes into a upgrade step. While the versions installed are lower then what the upgrade step thinks it is. longhorn-crd on the other hand will give me a full list op versions (backwards and forwards) Following the longhorn documentation it should first upgrade to 1.7.x and then 1.8.x before going to 1.9

it may be best to manually use the helm cli with your required version (this is basically what rancher is doing under the hood anyway)

Hey @stocky-account-63046, took me a while to get back to this. But when trying to run the commands from my local machine via helm. I get the following errors. Upgrade to the same version i should be running to hopefully reset the issue

helm upgrade --history-max=5 --install=true --labels=<http://catalog.cattle.io/cluster-repo-name=rancher-charts|catalog.cattle.io/cluster-repo-name=rancher-charts> --namespace=longhorn-system --timeout=10m0s --values=/Users/matthijs/workspace/rancher/longhornvalues.yml --version=105.0.1+up1.6.4 --wait=true longhorn /Users/matthijs/workspace/rancher/charts/assets/longhorn/longhorn-105.0.1+up1.6.4.tgz

Error: UPGRADE FAILED: pre-upgrade hooks failed: 1 error occurred:
        * job longhorn-pre-upgrade failed: BackoffLimitExceeded

Upgrading to the next version of longhorn:

helm upgrade --history-max=5 --install=true --labels=<http://catalog.cattle.io/cluster-repo-name=rancher-charts|catalog.cattle.io/cluster-repo-name=rancher-charts> --namespace=longhorn-system --timeout=10m0s --values=/Users/matthijs/workspace/rancher/longhornvalues.yml --version=106.1.1+up1.7.3 --wait=true longhorn /Users/matthijs/workspace/rancher/charts/assets/longhorn-crd/longhorn-crd-106.1.1+up1.7.3.tgz

Error: UPGRADE FAILED: Unable to continue with update: CustomResourceDefinition "<http://backingimagedatasources.longhorn.io|backingimagedatasources.longhorn.io>" in namespace "" exists and cannot be imported into the current release: invalid ownership metadata; annotation validation error: key "<http://meta.helm.sh/release-name|meta.helm.sh/release-name>" must equal "longhorn": current value is "longhorn-crd"

The files are from the https://github.com/rancher/charts/tree/release-v2.12 git repo as that is used by rancher itself. The values I copied out of rancher. I only really found this reddit post about it https://www.reddit.com/r/kubernetes/comments/1f34e1q/cant_update_longhorn_due_to_metahelmshreleasename/ But that didn't help me further. Do you have any idea what to do next?

try upgrading the crd first, then the main app. make sure you get the correct name each time. that second one failed because the name of the app was longhorn, and not longhorn-crd

@stocky-account-63046 really appreciate the help 🙂 I always update the crd first (because thats what rancher ui does) and changing the crd never fails.

helm upgrade --history-max=5 --install=true --labels=<http://catalog.cattle.io/cluster-repo-name=rancher-charts|catalog.cattle.io/cluster-repo-name=rancher-charts> --namespace=longhorn-system --timeout=10m0s --values=/Users/matthijs/workspace/rancher/charts/charts/longhorn-crd/106.1.1+up1.7.3 /values-longhorn-crd-106.1.1+up1.7.3.yaml --version=106.1.1+up1.7.3 --wait=true longhorn-crd /Users/matthijs/workspace/rancher/charts/assets/longhorn-crd/longhorn-crd-106.1.1+up1.7.3.tgz

The rancher gui installs the crd as longhorn-crd the longhorn helm chart itself seems to want longhorn and not longhorn-crd, I'm not sure how i can change that? Because I'm assuming this chart should update the longhorn application itself and not longhorn crd

helm upgrade --history-max=5 --install=true --labels=<http://catalog.cattle.io/cluster-repo-name=rancher-charts|catalog.cattle.io/cluster-repo-name=rancher-charts> --namespace=longhorn-system --timeout=10m0s --values=/home/shell/helm/values-longhorn-106.1.1+up1.7.3.yaml --version=106.1.1+up1.7.3--wait=true longhorn /home/shell/helm/longhorn-106.1.1+up1.7.3.tgz

I'm I using the correct chart? Or maybe I dont understand what you mean Note: I have tried various versions but none work.
