Bug 1792004

Version:
4.3.0-0.nightly-2020-02-16-235204

1. install ocp 4.2.19
2. trigger upgrade from 4.2.19 to 4.3.0-0.nightly-2020-02-16-235204
3. monitor the upgrade progress and all cluster operators status
4. abort above upgrade and trigger downgrade to 4.3.0 after all operators updated to target version but the upgrade status is still not 100%.
5. check downgrade from 4.3.0-0.nightly-2020-02-16-235204 to 4.2.19 failed.

On upgrades and downgrades, the important CVO is that for the target release.  More on that in [1].  So to verify the 4.3.z fix for this bug, you'd need to use a whatever -> 4.3-nightly upgrade in which there is a manifest change that removes either a container or a service port that removes a livenessProbe and/or a readinessProbe.  If you want to check on rollback in particular, that would be 4.3-nightly -> whatever -> rollback to 4.3-nightly.  What you did, with 4.2.19 -> 4.3-nightly -> rollback to 4.2.19 shows that the 4.2.19 CVO is still impacted by the bug, which makes sense with the 4.2.z bug 1792005 still in NEW (blocked on this bug getting VERIFIED).

@W. Trevor King 
Since the original bug1791863 which happened on v4.3.0, in job[1], in which the rollback test path was 4.2-4.3-4.2(4.2-4.3 succeed,4.3-4.2 failed). So this cloned bug is targeted for 4.3, which should be verified following the same test path as [1](4.2-4.3-4.2). Right? Or bz1791863 should be an issue of 4.2, which means it should be fixed in cvo of 4.2, but not cvo of 4.3? Then this bug is actually for 4.3, which can be verified with 4.3-4.4-4.3?

> Since the original bug1791863 which happened on v4.3.0...

I pointed bug 1791863 at Target Release 4.4.0 on 2020-01-16 20:24:05 UTC.  [1] links out the 4.4, 4.3, and 4.2 bug chain.  Ideally that one would have been verified with a whatever -> 4.4 update.  Your [2] included a 4.3.0 -> 4.4.0-0.nightly-2020-01-22-045318, which exercised the patched 4.4 CVO (appropriate for that 4.4-targeted bug).  The rollback from your test was orthogonal.  The test in [2] was weakened by the fact that we may not have made any probe removals in 4.3.0 -> 4.4.0-0.nightly-2020-01-22-045318.  But it showed that at least the patched 4.4 CVO wasn't regressing for normal operation.

> Then this bug is actually for 4.3, which can be verified with 4.3-4.4-4.3?

Yeah, this bug is for 4.3.  4.3 -> 4.4 -> 4.3 would exercise the patched 4.3 CVO, but without a probe removal in 4.4 -> 4.3 (I'm not aware of any, but haven't actively looked for them either), it won't be exercising the bug fixed in this series.  You could work up a custom 4.4 release image that added a probe to a Deployment which lacked probes in the 4.3 nightly.  But I'm also fine with a simple regression test here, so we can get on to landing the 4.2 bug 1792005 and see if we actually fixed the 4.3 -> 4.2 problem.

Ok. Since path 4.3-4.4-4.3 was covered in bug 1791863, i will verify this bug by path 4.3-nightly -> whatever -> rollback to 4.3-nightly suggested in comment 5

Version:
4.3.0-0.nightly-2020-02-17-205936

1. install ocp 4.3.2
2. trigger upgrade from 4.3.2 to 4.3.0-0.nightly-2020-02-17-205936
3. monitor the upgrade progress and all cluster operators status
4. abort above upgrade and trigger downgrade to 4.3.2 after all operators updated to target version but the upgrade status is still not 100%.
5. check downgrade from 4.3.0-0.nightly-2020-02-17-205936 to 4.3.2 successfully.
