Summary

Running oc adm upgrade --to-multi-arch on a cluster that is already multi-architecture did not return an error. The existing check only caught the case where a migration was requested (via spec.desiredUpdate.architecture) but not yet completed. After completion, CVO clears that field, so the command would attempt the patch again.

This adds a check on status.desired.architecture to detect clusters that are already running multi-architecture and return a clear error message.

Bug: https://redhat.atlassian.net/browse/OCPBUGS-8247

Changes

  • Added check: if cv.Status.Desired.Architecture == ClusterVersionArchitectureMulti, return "Cluster is already multi-architecture"
  • This runs before the existing spec.desiredUpdate check, which catches in-progress migrations

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved validation for multi-architecture upgrades.
    • Added a clear error when a cluster is already configured for multi-architecture.
    • Updated the message shown when an upgrade request is already in progress.

Walkthrough

The --to-multi-arch flow now rejects clusters that already have a multi-architecture desired state. It also revises the error for an existing multi-architecture update request.

Changes

Multi-architecture upgrade validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Validate multi-architecture upgrade requests
pkg/cli/admin/upgrade/upgrade.go
The command checks the current desired architecture before checking for an existing requested update. It returns revised errors for both conditions.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 3fe56

The PR adds a localized error for attempting an already-completed multi-architecture migration; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond normal checks and review.

Hi @savio87. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a openshift member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work.

Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

Adds a check on status.desired.architecture to detect clusters already running multi-architecture, returning a clear error instead of attempting a redundant patch. Could a maintainer update the target version on OCPBUGS-8247 and run /ok-to-test? Thanks!

I am not sure the message is precise, the docs say:

	// desired is the version that the cluster is reconciling towards.
	// If the cluster is not yet fully initialized desired will be set
	// with the information available, which may be an image or a tag.
	// +required
	Desired Release `json:"desired"`

So it may be still progressing, I guess.

Good point @tchapStatus.Desired reflects what the cluster is reconciling towards, not necessarily its current state. Updated the message to "Cluster is already updating to multi-architecture" to account for the case where the transition is still in progress.

Add regression tests for both duplicate-request guards.

Add or extend pkg/cli/admin/upgrade/upgrade_test.go to cover:

  • Multi-architecture Status.Desired with no Spec.DesiredUpdate.
  • A multi-architecture Spec.DesiredUpdate with non-multi status.
  • Both fields set to multi-architecture, confirming the status error takes precedence.

Each test should assert the returned error and verify that no patch request is sent. As per PR objectives, these tests should cover the separate status and spec validation paths.

instead of "updating to", can we say "the cluster already targets a multi-architecture release" or something? We might be updating from single-arch to multi-arch, or from multi-arch to multi-arch, or happily settled on multi-arch. "targets" doesn't care about where we were in the past, or whether we're mid-update or steady-state now. It's only talking about the release that the CVO is already trying to reconcile, and that's enough to error out here, telling the admin that there's no need to request a multi-arch transition if we're already aiming at a multi-arch release.
