--- upgrade: - | This adds a --skip-tags parameter to the openstack overcloud upgrade run command .. code-block:: bash openstack overcloud upgrade run --nodes compute-0 --skip-tags validation This is useful for skipping those step 0 tasks (tagged "validation") that check if services are running before allowing the upgrade to proceed, especially if you must re-run the upgrade after a failed attempt and some services cannot easily be started. The currently supported values for this are validation and pre-upgrade, and they can be combined as "--skip-tags 'validation,pre-upgrade'" if required.
