-h2. General process
-
-# Consult upgrade notes below to see if any manual configuration updates are necessary.
-# Wait for the cluster to be idle and stop Arvados services.
-# Make a backup of your database, as a precaution.
-# Install new packages using @apt-get upgrade@ or @yum upgrade@.
-# Wait for package installation scripts as they perform any necessary data migrations.
-# Restart Arvados services.
+Upgrade instructions can be found at "Maintenance and upgrading":{{site.baseurl}}/admin/maintenance-and-upgrading.html#upgrading.
h2. Upgrade notes
-Some versions introduce changes that require special attention when upgrading: e.g., there is a new service to install, or there is a change to the default configuration that you might need to override in order to preserve the old behavior.

+"previous: Upgrading to 2.3.0":#v2_3_0
+
+h3. Anonymous token changes
+
+The anonymous token configured in @Users.AnonymousUserToken@ must now be 32 characters or longer. This was already the suggestion in the documentation, now it is enforced. The @script/get_anonymous_user_token.rb@ script that was needed to register the anonymous user token in the database has been removed. Registration of the anonymous token is no longer necessary.
+
+h3. Preemptible instance types are used automatically, if any are configured
+
+The default behavior for selecting "preemptible instances":{{site.baseurl}}/admin/spot-instances.html has changed. If your configuration lists any instance types with @Preemptible: true@, all child (non-top-level) containers will automatically be scheduled on preemptible instances. To avoid using preemptible instances except when explicitly requested by clients, add @AlwaysUsePreemptibleInstances: false@ in the @Containers@ config section. (Previously, preemptible instance types were never used unless the configuration specified @UsePreemptibleInstances: true@. That flag has been removed.)
+
+h3. Role groups are visible to all users by default
+
+The permission model has changed such that all role groups are visible to all active users. This enables users to share objects with groups they don't belong to. To preserve the previous behavior, where role groups are only visible to members and admins, add @RoleGroupsVisibleToAll: false@ to the @Users@ section of your configuration file.
-"previous: Upgrading from 2.3.0":#v2_3_0
+h3. Default LSF arguments have changed
+
+If you use LSF and your configuration specifies @Containers.LSF.BsubArgumentsList@, you should update it to include the new arguments (@"-R", "select[mem>=%MMB]", ...@, see "configuration reference":{{site.baseurl}}/admin/config.html). Otherwise, containers that are too big to run on any LSF host will remain in the LSF queue instead of being cancelled.
+
+h3. Previously trashed role groups will be deleted
+
+Due to a bug in previous versions, the @DELETE@ operation on a role group caused the group to be flagged as trash in the database, but continue to grant permissions regardless. After upgrading, any role groups that had been trashed this way will be deleted. This might surprise some users if they were relying on permissions that were still in effect due to this bug. Future @DELETE@ operations on a role group will immediately delete the group and revoke the associated permissions.
+
+h3. Users are visible to other users by default
+
+When a new user is set up (either via @AutoSetupNewUsers@ config or via Workbench admin interface) the user immediately becomes visible to other users. To revert to the previous behavior, where the administrator must add two users to the same group using the Workbench admin interface in order for the users to see each other, change the new @Users.ActivatedUsersAreVisibleToOthers@ config to @false@.
h3. Dedicated keepstore process for each container
* If you already have a robust permanent keepstore infrastructure, you can set @Containers.LocalKeepBlobBuffersPerVCPU@ to 0 to disable this feature and preserve the previous behavior of sending container I/O traffic to your separately provisioned keepstore servers.
* This feature is enabled only if no volumes use @AccessViaHosts@, and no volumes have underlying @Replication@ less than @Collections.DefaultReplication@. If the feature is configured but cannot be enabled due to an incompatible volume configuration, this will be noted in the @crunch-run.txt@ file in the container log.
+h3. Backend support for vocabulary checking
+
+If your installation uses the vocabulary feature on Workbench2, you will need to update the cluster configuration by moving the vocabulary definition file to the node where @controller@ runs, and set the @API.VocabularyPath@ configuration parameter to the local path where the file was placed.
+This will enable the vocabulary checking cluster-wide, including Workbench2. The @Workbench.VocabularyURL@ configuration parameter is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
+You can read more about how this feature works on the "admin page":{{site.baseurl}}/admin/metadata-vocabulary.html.

h2(#v2_3_0). v2.3.0 (2021-10-27)
"previous: Upgrading to 2.2.0":#v2_2_0
h3. Migrating to centralized config.yml
-See "Migrating Configuration":config-migration.html for notes on migrating legacy per-component configuration files to the new centralized @/etc/arvados/config.yml@.
+See "Migrating Configuration":https://doc.arvados.org/v2.1/admin/config-migration.html for notes on migrating legacy per-component configuration files to the new centralized @/etc/arvados/config.yml@.
To ensure a smooth transition, the per-component config files continue to be read, and take precedence over the centralized configuration. Your cluster should continue to function after upgrade but before doing the full configuration migration. However, several services (keepstore, keep-web, keepproxy) require a minimal `/etc/arvados/config.yml` to start:
You can no longer specify individual keep services to balance via the @config.KeepServiceList@ command line option or @KeepServiceList@ legacy config option. Instead, keep-balance will operate on all keepstore servers with @service_type:disk@ as reported by the @arv keep_service list@ command. If you are still using the legacy config, @KeepServiceList@ should be removed or keep-balance will produce an error.
-Please see the "config migration guide":{{site.baseurl}}/admin/config-migration.html and "keep-balance install guide":{{site.baseurl}}/install/install-keep-balance.html for more details.

h3. Arv-git-httpd configuration migration
-(feature "#14712":https://dev.arvados.org/issues/14712 ) The arv-git-httpd package can now be configured using the centralized configuration file at @/etc/arvados/config.yml@. Configuration via individual command line arguments is no longer available.

-(feature "#14715":https://dev.arvados.org/issues/14715 ) Keepproxy can now be configured using the centralized config at @/etc/arvados/config.yml@. Configuration via individual command line arguments is no longer available and the @DisableGet@, @DisablePut@, and @PIDFile@ configuration options are no longer supported. If you are still using the legacy config and @DisableGet@ or @DisablePut@ are set to true or @PIDFile@ has a value, keepproxy will produce an error and fail to start. Please see "keepproxy's config migration guide":{{site.baseurl}}/admin/config-migration.html#keepproxy for more details.
