# Upgrade

## Before Upgrade

Before proceeding with the upgrade, it's crucial to apply the specific prerequisites associated with your current version of NVIDIA Run:ai and every version in between up to the version you are upgrading to.

## Helm

NVIDIA Run:ai requires [Helm](https://helm.sh/) 3.14 or later. Before you continue, validate your installed helm client version. To install or upgrade Helm, see [Installing Helm](https://helm.sh/docs/intro/install/).

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**

Helm 4 defaults to [server-side apply](https://helm.sh/docs/overview/#server-side-apply) when installing a new chart release, which can conflict with resources managed by the NVIDIA Run:ai operator. Append `--server-side=false` to your `helm upgrade` command. NVIDIA Run:ai clusters originally installed with Helm 3.x are unaffected.
{% endhint %}

## Software Files

```
helm repo add runai-backend https://runai.jfrog.io/artifactory/cp-charts-prod
helm repo update
```

## Upgrade Control Plane

### System and Network Requirements

Before upgrading the NVIDIA Run:ai control plane, validate that the latest [system requirements](/multi-tenant/2.23/getting-started/installation/cp-system-requirements.md) and [network requirements](/multi-tenant/2.23/getting-started/installation/network-requirements.md) are met, as they can change from time to time.

### Upgrade

To upgrade run the following:

```
helm get values runai-backend -n runai-backend > runai_control_plane_values.yaml
helm upgrade runai-backend -n runai-backend runai-backend/control-plane --version "<VERSION>" -f runai_control_plane_values.yaml --reset-then-reuse-values
```

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**

To upgrade to a specific version, modify the `--version` flag by specifying the desired `<VERSION>`. You can find all available versions by using the `helm search repo runai-backend/control-plane --versions` command.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://run-ai-docs.nvidia.com/multi-tenant/2.23/getting-started/installation/upgrade.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
