# Upgrading a Helm-Based Deployment of VAST CSI Driver

Use the following procedure if both old and new release of VAST CSI Driver are deployed using a Helm chart.

1. Refresh Helm repository information to see which VAST CSI Driver versions are available for deployment:

```plaintext
helm repo update
```
2. Update the VAST CSI Driver's [Helm chart configuration file](/develop/docs/en/create-a-helm-chart-configuration-file-for-vast-csi-driver-2-5) (`values.yaml`) to specify the target release of VAST CSI Driver:

```plaintext
image:
  csiVastPlugin:
    repository: <repo>
    tag: <new release>
    imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
```

Where:

  - `&lt;repo&gt;` is the name of the VAST CSI Driver [Helm repository](/develop/docs/en/add-the-helm-repository-for-vast-csi-driver-2-5).
  - `&lt;new release&gt;` is the VAST CSI Driver release to be upgraded to.

For example:

```plaintext
image:
  csiVastPlugin:
    repository: vastdataorg/csi
    tag: v2.5.0
    imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
```
3. Run Helm upgrade:

```plaintext
helm upgrade <old release> <repo>/vastcsi -f <filename>.yaml
```

Where:

  - `&lt;old release&gt;` is the VAST CSI Driver release to be upgraded from.
  - `&lt;repo&gt;` is the name of the VAST CSI Driver [Helm repository](/develop/docs/en/add-the-helm-repository-for-vast-csi-driver-2-5).
  - `vastcsi` is the name of the VAST CSI Driver Helm chart.
  - `&lt;filename&gt;.yaml` is the [Helm chart configuration file](/develop/docs/en/create-a-helm-chart-configuration-file-for-vast-csi-driver-2-5).

For example:

```plaintext
helm upgrade csi-driver vastcsi/vastcsi -f values.yaml
```
4. Verify the status of the new VAST CSI Driver chart release:

```plaintext
helm ls
```
