Rolling back

You can revert to an earlier version of Event Streams under certain conditions.

Prerequisites

Rolling back your Event Streams 2019.2.1 installation to an earlier version is only supported in the following cases:

• You can only roll back from a newer Helm chart version to an older chart version.
• You can only roll back to Event Streams 2019.1.1 (Helm chart version 1.2.0). Rolling back to earlier chart versions is not supported.

Rolling back

Using the UI

1. Log in to your IBM Cloud Private cluster management console from a supported web browser by using the URL https://<Cluster Master Host>:<Cluster Master API Port>. The master host and port for your cluster are set during the installation of IBM Cloud Private. For more information, see the IBM Cloud Private documentation.
2. Click Workloads > Helm Releases from the navigation menu.
3. Locate the release name of your installation in the Name column, and click More options > Rollback in the corresponding row.
4. Select the chart version to roll back to (1.2.0).
5. Click Rollback.

Using the CLI

1. Log in to your cluster as an administrator by using the IBM Cloud Private CLI:
   cloudctl login -a https://<Cluster Master Host>:<Cluster Master API Port>
   The master host and port for your cluster are set during the installation of IBM Cloud Private.
   Important: You must have the Cluster Administrator role to roll back a chart version.
2. Run the helm history command to view previous versions you can roll back to:
   helm history <release-name>
   Where <release-name> is the name that identifies your Event Streams installation.
   For example:
   

   $ helm history event-streams
   REVISION        UPDATED                         STATUS          CHART                           DESCRIPTION

3. Run the helm rollback command as follows:
   helm rollback <release-name> <revision>
   Where <release-name> is the name that identifies your Event Streams installation, and <revision> is a number from the REVISION column that corresponds to the version you want to revert to, as displayed in the result of the helm history command.
   For example:
   helm rollback event-streams 3
