Chapter 6. Postinstallation cluster tasks After installing OpenShift Container Platform, you can further expand and customize your cluster to your requirements. 6.1. Available cluster customizations You complete most of the cluster configuration and customization after you deploy your OpenShift Container Platform cluster. A number of configuration resources are available. Note If you install your cluster on IBM Z(R), not all features and functions are available. You modify the configuration resources to configure the major features of the cluster, such as the image registry, networking configuration, image build behavior, and the identity provider. For current documentation of the settings that you control by using these resources, use the oc explain command, for example oc explain builds --api-version=config.openshift.io/v1 6.1.1. Cluster configuration resources All cluster configuration resources are globally scoped (not namespaced) and named cluster . Resource name Description apiserver.config.openshift.io Provides API server configuration such as certificates and certificate authorities . authentication.config.openshift.io Controls the identity provider and authentication configuration for the cluster. build.config.openshift.io Controls default and enforced configuration for all builds on the cluster. console.config.openshift.io Configures the behavior of the web console interface, including the logout behavior . featuregate.config.openshift.io Enables FeatureGates so that you can use Tech Preview features. image.config.openshift.io Configures how specific image registries should be treated (allowed, disallowed, insecure, CA details). ingress.config.openshift.io Configuration details related to routing such as the default domain for routes. oauth.config.openshift.io Configures identity providers and other behavior related to internal OAuth server flows. project.config.openshift.io Configures how projects are created including the project template. proxy.config.openshift.io Defines proxies to be used by components needing external network access. Note: not all components currently consume this value. scheduler.config.openshift.io Configures scheduler behavior such as profiles and default node selectors. 6.1.2. Operator configuration resources These configuration resources are cluster-scoped instances, named cluster , which control the behavior of a specific component as owned by a particular Operator. Resource name Description consoles.operator.openshift.io Controls console appearance such as branding customizations config.imageregistry.operator.openshift.io Configures OpenShift image registry settings such as public routing, log levels, proxy settings, resource constraints, replica counts, and storage type. config.samples.operator.openshift.io Configures the Samples Operator to control which example image streams and templates are installed on the cluster. 6.1.3. Additional configuration resources These configuration resources represent a single instance of a particular component. In some cases, you can request multiple instances by creating multiple instances of the resource. In other cases, the Operator can use only a specific resource instance name in a specific namespace. Reference the component-specific documentation for details on how and when you can create additional resource instances. Resource name Instance name Namespace Description alertmanager.monitoring.coreos.com main openshift-monitoring Controls the Alertmanager deployment parameters. ingresscontroller.operator.openshift.io default openshift-ingress-operator Configures Ingress Operator behavior such as domain, number of replicas, certificates, and controller placement. 6.1.4. Informational Resources You use these resources to retrieve information about the cluster. Some configurations might require you to edit these resources directly. Resource name Instance name Description clusterversion.config.openshift.io version In OpenShift Container Platform 4.14, you must not customize the ClusterVersion resource for production clusters. Instead, follow the process to update a cluster . dns.config.openshift.io cluster You cannot modify the DNS settings for your cluster. You can view the DNS Operator status . infrastructure.config.openshift.io cluster Configuration details allowing the cluster to interact with its cloud provider. network.config.openshift.io cluster You cannot modify your cluster networking after installation. To customize your network, follow the process to customize networking during installation . 6.2. Adding worker nodes After you deploy your OpenShift Container Platform cluster, you can add worker nodes to scale cluster resources. There are different ways you can add worker nodes depending on the installation method and the environment of your cluster. 6.2.1. Adding worker nodes to installer-provisioned infrastructure clusters For installer-provisioned infrastructure clusters, you can manually or automatically scale the MachineSet object to match the number of available bare-metal hosts. To add a bare-metal host, you must configure all network prerequisites, configure an associated baremetalhost object, then provision the worker node to the cluster. You can add a bare-metal host manually or by using the web console. Adding worker nodes using the web console Adding worker nodes using YAML in the web console Manually adding a worker node to an installer-provisioned infrastructure cluster 6.2.2. Adding worker nodes to user-provisioned infrastructure clusters For user-provisioned infrastructure clusters, you can add worker nodes by using a RHEL or RHCOS ISO image and connecting it to your cluster using cluster Ignition config files. For RHEL worker nodes, the following example uses Ansible playbooks to add worker nodes to the cluster. For RHCOS worker nodes, the following example uses an ISO image and network booting to add worker nodes to the cluster. Adding RHCOS worker nodes to a user-provisioned infrastructure cluster Adding RHEL worker nodes to a user-provisioned infrastructure cluster 6.2.3. Adding worker nodes to clusters managed by the Assisted Installer For clusters managed by the Assisted Installer, you can add worker nodes by using the Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager console, the Assisted Installer REST API or you can manually add worker nodes using an ISO image and cluster Ignition config files. Adding worker nodes using the OpenShift Cluster Manager Adding worker nodes using the Assisted Installer REST API Manually adding worker nodes to a SNO cluster 6.2.4. Adding worker nodes to clusters managed by the multicluster engine for Kubernetes For clusters managed by the multicluster engine for Kubernetes, you can add worker nodes by using the dedicated multicluster engine console. Creating your cluster with the console 6.3. Adjust worker nodes If you incorrectly sized the worker nodes during deployment, adjust them by creating one or more new compute machine sets, scale them up, then scale the original compute machine set down before removing them. 6.3.1. Understanding the difference between compute machine sets and the machine config pool MachineSet objects describe OpenShift Container Platform nodes with respect to the cloud or machine provider. The MachineConfigPool object allows MachineConfigController components to define and provide the status of machines in the context of upgrades. The MachineConfigPool object allows users to configure how upgrades are rolled out to the OpenShift Container Platform nodes in the machine config pool. The NodeSelector object can be replaced with a reference to the MachineSet object. 6.3.2. Scaling a compute machine set manually To add or remove an instance of a machine in a compute machine set, you can manually scale the compute machine set. This guidance is relevant to fully automated, installer-provisioned infrastructure installations. Customized, user-provisioned infrastructure installations do not have compute machine sets. Prerequisites Install an OpenShift Container Platform cluster and the oc command line. Log in to oc as a user with cluster-admin permission. Procedure View the compute machine sets that are in the cluster by running the following command: USD oc get machinesets -n openshift-machine-api The compute machine sets are listed in the form of <clusterid>-worker-<aws-region-az> . View the compute machines that are in the cluster by running the following command: USD oc get machine -n openshift-machine-api Set the annotation on the compute machine that you want to delete by running the following command: USD oc annotate machine/<machine_name> -n openshift-machine-api machine.openshift.io/delete-machine="true" Scale the compute machine set by running one of the following commands: USD oc scale --replicas=2 machineset <machineset> -n openshift-machine-api Or: USD oc edit machineset <machineset> -n openshift-machine-api Tip You can alternatively apply the following YAML to scale the compute machine set: apiVersion: machine.openshift.io/v1beta1 kind: MachineSet metadata: name: <machineset> namespace: openshift-machine-api spec: replicas: 2 You can scale the compute machine set up or down. It takes several minutes for the new machines to be available. Important By default, the machine controller tries to drain the node that is backed by the machine until it succeeds. In some situations, such as with a misconfigured pod disruption budget, the drain operation might not be able to succeed. If the drain operation fails, the machine controller cannot proceed removing the machine. You can skip draining the node by annotating machine.openshift.io/exclude-node-draining in a specific machine. Verification Verify the deletion of the intended machine by running the following command: USD oc get machines 6.3.3. The compute machine set deletion policy Random , Newest , and Oldest are the three supported deletion options. The default is Random , meaning that random machines are chosen and deleted when scaling compute machine sets down. The deletion policy can be set according to the use case by modifying the particular compute machine set: spec: deletePolicy: <delete_policy> replicas: <desired_replica_count> Specific machines can also be prioritized for deletion by adding the annotation machine.openshift.io/delete-machine=true to the machine of interest, regardless of the deletion policy. Important By default, the OpenShift Container Platform router pods are deployed on workers. Because the router is required to access some cluster resources, including the web console, do not scale the worker compute machine set to 0 unless you first relocate the router pods. Note Custom compute machine sets can be used for use cases requiring that services run on specific nodes and that those services are ignored by the controller when the worker compute machine sets are scaling down. This prevents service disruption. 6.3.4. Creating default cluster-wide node selectors You can use default cluster-wide node selectors on pods together with labels on nodes to constrain all pods created in a cluster to specific nodes. With cluster-wide node selectors, when you create a pod in that cluster, OpenShift Container Platform adds the default node selectors to the pod and schedules the pod on nodes with matching labels. You configure cluster-wide node selectors by editing the Scheduler Operator custom resource (CR). You add labels to a node, a compute machine set, or a machine config. Adding the label to the compute machine set ensures that if the node or machine goes down, new nodes have the label. Labels added to a node or machine config do not persist if the node or machine goes down. Note You can add additional key/value pairs to a pod. But you cannot add a different value for a default key. Procedure To add a default cluster-wide node selector: Edit the Scheduler Operator CR to add the default cluster-wide node selectors: USD oc edit scheduler cluster Example Scheduler Operator CR with a node selector apiVersion: config.openshift.io/v1 kind: Scheduler metadata: name: cluster ... spec: defaultNodeSelector: type=user-node,region=east 1 mastersSchedulable: false 1 Add a node selector with the appropriate <key>:<value> pairs. After making this change, wait for the pods in the openshift-kube-apiserver project to redeploy. This can take several minutes. The default cluster-wide node selector does not take effect until the pods redeploy. Add labels to a node by using a compute machine set or editing the node directly: Use a compute machine set to add labels to nodes managed by the compute machine set when a node is created: Run the following command to add labels to a MachineSet object: USD oc patch MachineSet <name> --type='json' -p='[{"op":"add","path":"/spec/template/spec/metadata/labels", "value":{"<key>"="<value>","<key>"="<value>"}}]' -n openshift-machine-api 1 1 Add a <key>/<value> pair for each label. For example: USD oc patch MachineSet ci-ln-l8nry52-f76d1-hl7m7-worker-c --type='json' -p='[{"op":"add","path":"/spec/template/spec/metadata/labels", "value":{"type":"user-node","region":"east"}}]' -n openshift-machine-api Tip You can alternatively apply the following YAML to add labels to a compute machine set: apiVersion: machine.openshift.io/v1beta1 kind: MachineSet metadata: name: <machineset> namespace: openshift-machine-api spec: template: spec: metadata: labels: region: "east" type: "user-node" Verify that the labels are added to the MachineSet object by using the oc edit command: For example: USD oc edit MachineSet abc612-msrtw-worker-us-east-1c -n openshift-machine-api Example MachineSet object apiVersion: machine.openshift.io/v1beta1 kind: MachineSet ... spec: ... template: metadata: ... spec: metadata: labels: region: east type: user-node ... Redeploy the nodes associated with that compute machine set by scaling down to 0 and scaling up the nodes: For example: USD oc scale --replicas=0 MachineSet ci-ln-l8nry52-f76d1-hl7m7-worker-c -n openshift-machine-api USD oc scale --replicas=1 MachineSet ci-ln-l8nry52-f76d1-hl7m7-worker-c -n openshift-machine-api When the nodes are ready and available, verify that the label is added to the nodes by using the oc get command: USD oc get nodes -l <key>=<value> For example: USD oc get nodes -l type=user-node Example output NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION ci-ln-l8nry52-f76d1-hl7m7-worker-c-vmqzp Ready worker 61s v1.27.3 Add labels directly to a node: Edit the Node object for the node: USD oc label nodes <name> <key>=<value> For example, to label a node: USD oc label nodes ci-ln-l8nry52-f76d1-hl7m7-worker-b-tgq49 type=user-node region=east Tip You can alternatively apply the following YAML to add labels to a node: kind: Node apiVersion: v1 metadata: name: <node_name> labels: type: "user-node" region: "east" Verify that the labels are added to the node using the oc get command: USD oc get nodes -l <key>=<value>,<key>=<value> For example: USD oc get nodes -l type=user-node,region=east Example output NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION ci-ln-l8nry52-f76d1-hl7m7-worker-b-tgq49 Ready worker 17m v1.27.3 6.4. Improving cluster stability in high latency environments using worker latency profiles If the cluster administrator has performed latency tests for platform verification, they can discover the need to adjust the operation of the cluster to ensure stability in cases of high latency. The cluster administrator need change only one parameter, recorded in a file, which controls four parameters affecting how supervisory processes read status and interpret the health of the cluster. Changing only the one parameter provides cluster tuning in an easy, supportable manner. The Kubelet process provides the starting point for monitoring cluster health. The Kubelet sets status values for all nodes in the OpenShift Container Platform cluster. The Kubernetes Controller Manager ( kube controller ) reads the status values every 10 seconds, by default. If the kube controller cannot read a node status value, it loses contact with that node after a configured period. The default behavior is: The node controller on the control plane updates the node health to Unhealthy and marks the node Ready condition`Unknown`. In response, the scheduler stops scheduling pods to that node. The Node Lifecycle Controller adds a node.kubernetes.io/unreachable taint with a NoExecute effect to the node and schedules any pods on the node for eviction after five minutes, by default. This behavior can cause problems if your network is prone to latency issues, especially if you have nodes at the network edge. In some cases, the Kubernetes Controller Manager might not receive an update from a healthy node due to network latency. The Kubelet evicts pods from the node even though the node is healthy. To avoid this problem, you can use worker latency profiles to adjust the frequency that the Kubelet and the Kubernetes Controller Manager wait for status updates before taking action. These adjustments help to ensure that your cluster runs properly if network latency between the control plane and the worker nodes is not optimal. These worker latency profiles contain three sets of parameters that are pre-defined with carefully tuned values to control the reaction of the cluster to increased latency. No need to experimentally find the best values manually. You can configure worker latency profiles when installing a cluster or at any time you notice increased latency in your cluster network. 6.4.1. Understanding worker latency profiles Worker latency profiles are four different categories of carefully-tuned parameters. The four parameters which implement these values are node-status-update-frequency , node-monitor-grace-period , default-not-ready-toleration-seconds and default-unreachable-toleration-seconds . These parameters can use values which allow you control the reaction of the cluster to latency issues without needing to determine the best values using manual methods. Important Setting these parameters manually is not supported. Incorrect parameter settings adversely affect cluster stability. All worker latency profiles configure the following parameters: node-status-update-frequency Specifies how often the kubelet posts node status to the API server. node-monitor-grace-period Specifies the amount of time in seconds that the Kubernetes Controller Manager waits for an update from a kubelet before marking the node unhealthy and adding the node.kubernetes.io/not-ready or node.kubernetes.io/unreachable taint to the node. default-not-ready-toleration-seconds Specifies the amount of time in seconds after marking a node unhealthy that the Kube API Server Operator waits before evicting pods from that node. default-unreachable-toleration-seconds Specifies the amount of time in seconds after marking a node unreachable that the Kube API Server Operator waits before evicting pods from that node. The following Operators monitor the changes to the worker latency profiles and respond accordingly: The Machine Config Operator (MCO) updates the node-status-update-frequency parameter on the worker nodes. The Kubernetes Controller Manager updates the node-monitor-grace-period parameter on the control plane nodes. The Kubernetes API Server Operator updates the default-not-ready-toleration-seconds and default-unreachable-toleration-seconds parameters on the control plane nodes. Although the default configuration works in most cases, OpenShift Container Platform offers two other worker latency profiles for situations where the network is experiencing higher latency than usual. The three worker latency profiles are described in the following sections: Default worker latency profile With the Default profile, each Kubelet updates it's status every 10 seconds ( node-status-update-frequency ). The Kube Controller Manager checks the statuses of Kubelet every 5 seconds ( node-monitor-grace-period ). The Kubernetes Controller Manager waits 40 seconds for a status update from Kubelet before considering the Kubelet unhealthy. If no status is made available to the Kubernetes Controller Manager, it then marks the node with the node.kubernetes.io/not-ready or node.kubernetes.io/unreachable taint and evicts the pods on that node. If a pod on that node has the NoExecute taint, the pod is run according to tolerationSeconds . If the pod has no taint, it will be evicted in 300 seconds ( default-not-ready-toleration-seconds and default-unreachable-toleration-seconds settings of the Kube API Server ). Profile Component Parameter Value Default kubelet node-status-update-frequency 10s Kubelet Controller Manager node-monitor-grace-period 40s Kubernetes API Server Operator default-not-ready-toleration-seconds 300s Kubernetes API Server Operator default-unreachable-toleration-seconds 300s Medium worker latency profile Use the MediumUpdateAverageReaction profile if the network latency is slightly higher than usual. The MediumUpdateAverageReaction profile reduces the frequency of kubelet updates to 20 seconds and changes the period that the Kubernetes Controller Manager waits for those updates to 2 minutes. The pod eviction period for a pod on that node is reduced to 60 seconds. If the pod has the tolerationSeconds parameter, the eviction waits for the period specified by that parameter. The Kubernetes Controller Manager waits for 2 minutes to consider a node unhealthy. In another minute, the eviction process starts. Profile Component Parameter Value MediumUpdateAverageReaction kubelet node-status-update-frequency 20s Kubelet Controller Manager node-monitor-grace-period 2m Kubernetes API Server Operator default-not-ready-toleration-seconds 60s Kubernetes API Server Operator default-unreachable-toleration-seconds 60s Low worker latency profile Use the LowUpdateSlowReaction profile if the network latency is extremely high. The LowUpdateSlowReaction profile reduces the frequency of kubelet updates to 1 minute and changes the period that the Kubernetes Controller Manager waits for those updates to 5 minutes. The pod eviction period for a pod on that node is reduced to 60 seconds. If the pod has the tolerationSeconds parameter, the eviction waits for the period specified by that parameter. The Kubernetes Controller Manager waits for 5 minutes to consider a node unhealthy. In another minute, the eviction process starts. Profile Component Parameter Value LowUpdateSlowReaction kubelet node-status-update-frequency 1m Kubelet Controller Manager node-monitor-grace-period 5m Kubernetes API Server Operator default-not-ready-toleration-seconds 60s Kubernetes API Server Operator default-unreachable-toleration-seconds 60s 6.4.2. Using and changing worker latency profiles To change a worker latency profile to deal with network latency, edit the node.config object to add the name of the profile. You can change the profile at any time as latency increases or decreases. You must move one worker latency profile at a time. For example, you cannot move directly from the Default profile to the LowUpdateSlowReaction worker latency profile. You must move from the Default worker latency profile to the MediumUpdateAverageReaction profile first, then to LowUpdateSlowReaction . Similarly, when returning to the Default profile, you must move from the low profile to the medium profile first, then to Default . Note You can also configure worker latency profiles upon installing an OpenShift Container Platform cluster. Procedure To move from the default worker latency profile: Move to the medium worker latency profile: Edit the node.config object: USD oc edit nodes.config/cluster Add spec.workerLatencyProfile: MediumUpdateAverageReaction : Example node.config object apiVersion: config.openshift.io/v1 kind: Node metadata: annotations: include.release.openshift.io/ibm-cloud-managed: "true" include.release.openshift.io/self-managed-high-availability: "true" include.release.openshift.io/single-node-developer: "true" release.openshift.io/create-only: "true" creationTimestamp: "2022-07-08T16:02:51Z" generation: 1 name: cluster ownerReferences: - apiVersion: config.openshift.io/v1 kind: ClusterVersion name: version uid: 36282574-bf9f-409e-a6cd-3032939293eb resourceVersion: "1865" uid: 0c0f7a4c-4307-4187-b591-6155695ac85b spec: workerLatencyProfile: MediumUpdateAverageReaction 1 # ... 1 Specifies the medium worker latency policy. Scheduling on each worker node is disabled as the change is being applied. Optional: Move to the low worker latency profile: Edit the node.config object: USD oc edit nodes.config/cluster Change the spec.workerLatencyProfile value to LowUpdateSlowReaction : Example node.config object apiVersion: config.openshift.io/v1 kind: Node metadata: annotations: include.release.openshift.io/ibm-cloud-managed: "true" include.release.openshift.io/self-managed-high-availability: "true" include.release.openshift.io/single-node-developer: "true" release.openshift.io/create-only: "true" creationTimestamp: "2022-07-08T16:02:51Z" generation: 1 name: cluster ownerReferences: - apiVersion: config.openshift.io/v1 kind: ClusterVersion name: version uid: 36282574-bf9f-409e-a6cd-3032939293eb resourceVersion: "1865" uid: 0c0f7a4c-4307-4187-b591-6155695ac85b spec: workerLatencyProfile: LowUpdateSlowReaction 1 # ... 1 Specifies use of the low worker latency policy. Scheduling on each worker node is disabled as the change is being applied. Verification When all nodes return to the Ready condition, you can use the following command to look in the Kubernetes Controller Manager to ensure it was applied: USD oc get KubeControllerManager -o yaml | grep -i workerlatency -A 5 -B 5 Example output # ... - lastTransitionTime: "2022-07-11T19:47:10Z" reason: ProfileUpdated status: "False" type: WorkerLatencyProfileProgressing - lastTransitionTime: "2022-07-11T19:47:10Z" 1 message: all static pod revision(s) have updated latency profile reason: ProfileUpdated status: "True" type: WorkerLatencyProfileComplete - lastTransitionTime: "2022-07-11T19:20:11Z" reason: AsExpected status: "False" type: WorkerLatencyProfileDegraded - lastTransitionTime: "2022-07-11T19:20:36Z" status: "False" # ... 1 Specifies that the profile is applied and active. To change the medium profile to default or change the default to medium, edit the node.config object and set the spec.workerLatencyProfile parameter to the appropriate value. 6.5. Managing control plane machines Control plane machine sets provide management capabilities for control plane machines that are similar to what compute machine sets provide for compute machines. The availability and initial status of control plane machine sets on your cluster depend on your cloud provider and the version of OpenShift Container Platform that you installed. For more information, see Getting started with control plane machine sets . 6.6. Creating infrastructure machine sets for production environments You can create a compute machine set to create machines that host only infrastructure components, such as the default router, the integrated container image registry, and components for cluster metrics and monitoring. These infrastructure machines are not counted toward the total number of subscriptions that are required to run the environment. In a production deployment, it is recommended that you deploy at least three compute machine sets to hold infrastructure components. Both OpenShift Logging and Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh deploy Elasticsearch, which requires three instances to be installed on different nodes. Each of these nodes can be deployed to different availability zones for high availability. A configuration like this requires three different compute machine sets, one for each availability zone. In global Azure regions that do not have multiple availability zones, you can use availability sets to ensure high availability. For information on infrastructure nodes and which components can run on infrastructure nodes, see Creating infrastructure machine sets . To create an infrastructure node, you can use a machine set , assign a label to the nodes , or use a machine config pool . For sample machine sets that you can use with these procedures, see Creating machine sets for different clouds . Applying a specific node selector to all infrastructure components causes OpenShift Container Platform to schedule those workloads on nodes with that label . 6.6.1. Creating a compute machine set In addition to the compute machine sets created by the installation program, you can create your own to dynamically manage the machine compute resources for specific workloads of your choice. Prerequisites Deploy an OpenShift Container Platform cluster. Install the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). Log in to oc as a user with cluster-admin permission. Procedure Create a new YAML file that contains the compute machine set custom resource (CR) sample and is named <file_name>.yaml . Ensure that you set the <clusterID> and <role> parameter values. Optional: If you are not sure which value to set for a specific field, you can check an existing compute machine set from your cluster. To list the compute machine sets in your cluster, run the following command: USD oc get machinesets -n openshift-machine-api Example output NAME DESIRED CURRENT READY AVAILABLE AGE agl030519-vplxk-worker-us-east-1a 1 1 1 1 55m agl030519-vplxk-worker-us-east-1b 1 1 1 1 55m agl030519-vplxk-worker-us-east-1c 1 1 1 1 55m agl030519-vplxk-worker-us-east-1d 0 0 55m agl030519-vplxk-worker-us-east-1e 0 0 55m agl030519-vplxk-worker-us-east-1f 0 0 55m To view values of a specific compute machine set custom resource (CR), run the following command: USD oc get machineset <machineset_name> \ -n openshift-machine-api -o yaml Example output apiVersion: machine.openshift.io/v1beta1 kind: MachineSet metadata: labels: machine.openshift.io/cluster-api-cluster: <infrastructure_id> 1 name: <infrastructure_id>-<role> 2 namespace: openshift-machine-api spec: replicas: 1 selector: matchLabels: machine.openshift.io/cluster-api-cluster: <infrastructure_id> machine.openshift.io/cluster-api-machineset: <infrastructure_id>-<role> template: metadata: labels: machine.openshift.io/cluster-api-cluster: <infrastructure_id> machine.openshift.io/cluster-api-machine-role: <role> machine.openshift.io/cluster-api-machine-type: <role> machine.openshift.io/cluster-api-machineset: <infrastructure_id>-<role> spec: providerSpec: 3 ... 1 The cluster infrastructure ID. 2 A default node label. Note For clusters that have user-provisioned infrastructure, a compute machine set can only create worker and infra type machines. 3 The values in the <providerSpec> section of the compute machine set CR are platform-specific. For more information about <providerSpec> parameters in the CR, see the sample compute machine set CR configuration for your provider. Create a MachineSet CR by running the following command: USD oc create -f <file_name>.yaml Verification View the list of compute machine sets by running the following command: USD oc get machineset -n openshift-machine-api Example output NAME DESIRED CURRENT READY AVAILABLE AGE agl030519-vplxk-infra-us-east-1a 1 1 1 1 11m agl030519-vplxk-worker-us-east-1a 1 1 1 1 55m agl030519-vplxk-worker-us-east-1b 1 1 1 1 55m agl030519-vplxk-worker-us-east-1c 1 1 1 1 55m agl030519-vplxk-worker-us-east-1d 0 0 55m agl030519-vplxk-worker-us-east-1e 0 0 55m agl030519-vplxk-worker-us-east-1f 0 0 55m When the new compute machine set is available, the DESIRED and CURRENT values match. If the compute machine set is not available, wait a few minutes and run the command again. 6.6.2. Creating an infrastructure node Important See Creating infrastructure machine sets for installer-provisioned infrastructure environments or for any cluster where the control plane nodes are managed by the machine API. Requirements of the cluster dictate that infrastructure, also called infra nodes, be provisioned. The installer only provides provisions for control plane and worker nodes. Worker nodes can be designated as infrastructure nodes or application, also called app , nodes through labeling. Procedure Add a label to the worker node that you want to act as application node: USD oc label node <node-name> node-role.kubernetes.io/app="" Add a label to the worker nodes that you want to act as infrastructure nodes: USD oc label node <node-name> node-role.kubernetes.io/infra="" Check to see if applicable nodes now have the infra role and app roles: USD oc get nodes Create a default cluster-wide node selector. The default node selector is applied to pods created in all namespaces. This creates an intersection with any existing node selectors on a pod, which additionally constrains the pod's selector. Important If the default node selector key conflicts with the key of a pod's label, then the default node selector is not applied. However, do not set a default node selector that might cause a pod to become unschedulable. For example, setting the default node selector to a specific node role, such as node-role.kubernetes.io/infra="" , when a pod's label is set to a different node role, such as node-role.kubernetes.io/master="" , can cause the pod to become unschedulable. For this reason, use caution when setting the default node selector to specific node roles. You can alternatively use a project node selector to avoid cluster-wide node selector key conflicts. Edit the Scheduler object: USD oc edit scheduler cluster Add the defaultNodeSelector field with the appropriate node selector: apiVersion: config.openshift.io/v1 kind: Scheduler metadata: name: cluster spec: defaultNodeSelector: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra="" 1 # ... 1 This example node selector deploys pods on infrastructure nodes by default. Save the file to apply the changes. You can now move infrastructure resources to the newly labeled infra nodes.

Creating a machine config pool for infrastructure machines If you need infrastructure machines to have dedicated configurations, you must create an infra pool. Procedure Add a label to the node you want to assign as the infra node with a specific label: USD oc label node <node_name> <label> USD oc label node ci-ln-n8mqwr2-f76d1-xscn2-worker-c-6fmtx node-role.kubernetes.io/infra= Create a machine config pool that contains both the worker role and your custom role as machine config selector: USD cat infra.mcp.yaml Example output apiVersion: machineconfiguration.openshift.io/v1 kind: MachineConfigPool metadata: name: infra spec: machineConfigSelector: matchExpressions: - {key: machineconfiguration.openshift.io/role, operator: In, values: [worker,infra]} 1 nodeSelector: matchLabels: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra: "" 2 1 Add the worker role and your custom role. 2 Add the label you added to the node as a nodeSelector . Note Custom machine config pools inherit machine configs from the worker pool. Custom pools use any machine config targeted for the worker pool, but add the ability to also deploy changes that are targeted at only the custom pool. Because a custom pool inherits resources from the worker pool, any change to the worker pool also affects the custom pool. After you have the YAML file, you can create the machine config pool: USD oc create -f infra.mcp.yaml Check the machine configs to ensure that the infrastructure configuration rendered successfully: USD oc get machineconfig Example output NAME GENERATEDBYCONTROLLER IGNITIONVERSION CREATED 00-master 365c1cfd14de5b0e3b85e0fc815b0060f36ab955 3.2.0 31d 00-worker 365c1cfd14de5b0e3b85e0fc815b0060f36ab955 3.2.0 31d 01-master-container-runtime 365c1cfd14de5b0e3b85e0fc815b0060f36ab955 3.2.0 31d 01-master-kubelet 365c1cfd14de5b0e3b85e0fc815b0060f36ab955 3.2.0 31d 01-worker-container-runtime 365c1cfd14de5b0e3b85e0fc815b0060f36ab955 3.2.0 31d 01-worker-kubelet 365c1cfd14de5b0e3b85e0fc815b0060f36ab955 3.2.0 31d 99-master-1ae2a1e0-a115-11e9-8f14-005056899d54-registries 365c1cfd14de5b0e3b85e0fc815b0060f36ab955 3.2.0 31d 99-master-ssh 3.2.0 31d 99-worker-1ae64748-a115-11e9-8f14-005056899d54-registries 365c1cfd14de5b0e3b85e0fc815b0060f36ab955 3.2.0 31d 99-worker-ssh 3.2.0 31d rendered-infra-4e48906dca84ee702959c71a53ee80e7 365c1cfd14de5b0e3b85e0fc815b0060f36ab955 3.2.0 23m rendered-master-072d4b2da7f88162636902b074e9e28e 5b6fb8349a29735e48446d435962dec4547d3090 3.2.0 31d rendered-master-3e88ec72aed3886dec061df60d16d1af 02c07496ba0417b3e12b78fb32baf6293d314f79 3.2.0 31d rendered-master-419bee7de96134963a15fdf9dd473b25 365c1cfd14de5b0e3b85e0fc815b0060f36ab955 3.2.0 17d rendered-master-53f5c91c7661708adce18739cc0f40fb 365c1cfd14de5b0e3b85e0fc815b0060f36ab955 3.2.0 13d rendered-master-a6a357ec18e5bce7f5ac426fc7c5ffcd 365c1cfd14de5b0e3b85e0fc815b0060f36ab955 3.2.0 7d3h rendered-master-dc7f874ec77fc4b969674204332da037 5b6fb8349a29735e48446d435962dec4547d3090 3.2.0 31d rendered-worker-1a75960c52ad18ff5dfa6674eb7e533d 5b6fb8349a29735e48446d435962dec4547d3090 3.2.0 31d rendered-worker-2640531be11ba43c61d72e82dc634ce6 5b6fb8349a29735e48446d435962dec4547d3090 3.2.0 31d rendered-worker-4e48906dca84ee702959c71a53ee80e7 365c1cfd14de5b0e3b85e0fc815b0060f36ab955 3.2.0 7d3h rendered-worker-4f110718fe88e5f349987854a1147755 365c1cfd14de5b0e3b85e0fc815b0060f36ab955 3.2.0 17d rendered-worker-afc758e194d6188677eb837842d3b379 02c07496ba0417b3e12b78fb32baf6293d314f79 3.2.0 31d rendered-worker-daa08cc1e8f5fcdeba24de60cd955cc3 365c1cfd14de5b0e3b85e0fc815b0060f36ab955 3.2.0 13d You should see a new machine config, with the rendered-infra-* prefix. Optional: To deploy changes to a custom pool, create a machine config that uses the custom pool name as the label, such as infra . Note that this is not required and only shown for instructional purposes. In this manner, you can apply any custom configurations specific to only your infra nodes. Note After you create the new machine config pool, the MCO generates a new rendered config for that pool, and associated nodes of that pool reboot to apply the new configuration. Create a machine config: USD cat infra.mc.yaml Example output apiVersion: machineconfiguration.openshift.io/v1 kind: MachineConfig metadata: name: 51-infra labels: machineconfiguration.openshift.io/role: infra 1 spec: config: ignition: version: 3.2.0 storage: files: - path: /etc/infratest mode: 0644 contents: source: data:,infra 1 Add the label you added to the node as a nodeSelector .

Additional resources See Node configuration management with machine config pools for more information on grouping infra machines in a custom pool. 6.7. Assigning machine set resources to infrastructure nodes After creating an infrastructure machine set, the worker and infra roles are applied to new infra nodes. Nodes with the infra role are not counted toward the total number of subscriptions that are required to run the environment, even when the worker role is also applied. However, when an infra node is assigned the worker role, there is a chance that user workloads can get assigned inadvertently to the infra node. To avoid this, you can apply a taint to the infra node and tolerations for the pods that you want to control. 6.7.1. Binding infrastructure node workloads using taints and tolerations If you have an infra node that has the infra and worker roles assigned, you must configure the node so that user workloads are not assigned to it. Important It is recommended that you preserve the dual infra,worker label that is created for infra nodes and use taints and tolerations to manage nodes that user workloads are scheduled on. If you remove the worker label from the node, you must create a custom pool to manage it. A node with a label other than master or worker is not recognized by the MCO without a custom pool. Maintaining the worker label allows the node to be managed by the default worker machine config pool, if no custom pools that select the custom label exists. The infra label communicates to the cluster that it does not count toward the total number of subscriptions. Prerequisites Configure additional MachineSet objects in your OpenShift Container Platform cluster. Procedure Add a taint to the infra node to prevent scheduling user workloads on it: Determine if the node has the taint: USD oc describe nodes <node_name> Sample output oc describe node ci-ln-iyhx092-f76d1-nvdfm-worker-b-wln2l Name: ci-ln-iyhx092-f76d1-nvdfm-worker-b-wln2l Roles: worker ... Taints: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra:NoSchedule ... This example shows that the node has a taint. You can proceed with adding a toleration to your pod in the step. If you have not configured a taint to prevent scheduling user workloads on it: USD oc adm taint nodes <node_name> <key>=<value>:<effect> For example: USD oc adm taint nodes node1 node-role.kubernetes.io/infra=reserved:NoSchedule Tip You can alternatively apply the following YAML to add the taint: kind: Node apiVersion: v1 metadata: name: <node_name> labels: ... spec: taints: - key: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra effect: NoSchedule value: reserved ... This example places a taint on node1 that has key node-role.kubernetes.io/infra and taint effect NoSchedule . Nodes with the NoSchedule effect schedule only pods that tolerate the taint, but allow existing pods to remain scheduled on the node. Note If a descheduler is used, pods violating node taints could be evicted from the cluster. Add the taint with NoExecute Effect along with the above taint with NoSchedule Effect: USD oc adm taint nodes <node_name> <key>=<value>:<effect> For example: USD oc adm taint nodes node1 node-role.kubernetes.io/infra=reserved:NoExecute Tip You can alternatively apply the following YAML to add the taint: kind: Node apiVersion: v1 metadata: name: <node_name> labels: ... spec: taints: - key: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra effect: NoExecute value: reserved ... This example places a taint on node1 that has the key node-role.kubernetes.io/infra and taint effect NoExecute . Nodes with the NoExecute effect schedule only pods that tolerate the taint. The effect will remove any existing pods from the node that do not have a matching toleration. Add tolerations for the pod configurations you want to schedule on the infra node, like router, registry, and monitoring workloads. Add the following code to the Pod object specification: tolerations: - effect: NoSchedule 1 key: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra 2 value: reserved 3 - effect: NoExecute 4 key: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra 5 operator: Equal 6 value: reserved 7 1 Specify the effect that you added to the node. 2 Specify the key that you added to the node. 3 Specify the value of the key-value pair taint that you added to the node. 4 Specify the effect that you added to the node. 5 Specify the key that you added to the node. 6 Specify the Equal Operator to require a taint with the key node-role.kubernetes.io/infra to be present on the node. 7 Specify the value of the key-value pair taint that you added to the node. This toleration matches the taint created by the oc adm taint command. A pod with this toleration can be scheduled onto the infra node. Note Moving pods for an Operator installed via OLM to an infra node is not always possible. The capability to move Operator pods depends on the configuration of each Operator. Schedule the pod to the infra node using a scheduler. See the documentation for Controlling pod placement onto nodes for details. Additional resources See Controlling pod placement using the scheduler for general information on scheduling a pod to a node. 6.8. Moving resources to infrastructure machine sets Some of the infrastructure resources are deployed in your cluster by default. You can move them to the infrastructure machine sets that you created. 6.8.1. Moving the router You can deploy the router pod to a different compute machine set. By default, the pod is deployed to a worker node. Prerequisites Configure additional compute machine sets in your OpenShift Container Platform cluster. Procedure View the IngressController custom resource for the router Operator: USD oc get ingresscontroller default -n openshift-ingress-operator -o yaml The command output resembles the following text: apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1 kind: IngressController metadata: creationTimestamp: 2019-04-18T12:35:39Z finalizers: - ingresscontroller.operator.openshift.io/finalizer-ingresscontroller generation: 1 name: default namespace: openshift-ingress-operator resourceVersion: "11341" selfLink: /apis/operator.openshift.io/v1/namespaces/openshift-ingress-operator/ingresscontrollers/default uid: 79509e05-61d6-11e9-bc55-02ce4781844a spec: {} status: availableReplicas: 2 conditions: - lastTransitionTime: 2019-04-18T12:36:15Z status: "True" type: Available domain: apps.<cluster>.example.com endpointPublishingStrategy: type: LoadBalancerService selector: ingresscontroller.operator.openshift.io/deployment-ingresscontroller=default Edit the ingresscontroller resource and change the nodeSelector to use the infra label: USD oc edit ingresscontroller default -n openshift-ingress-operator spec: nodePlacement: nodeSelector: 1 matchLabels: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra: "" tolerations: - effect: NoSchedule key: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra value: reserved - effect: NoExecute key: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra value: reserved 1 Add a nodeSelector parameter with the appropriate value to the component you want to move. You can use a nodeSelector in the format shown or use <key>: <value> pairs, based on the value specified for the node. If you added a taint to the infrastructure node, also add a matching toleration. Confirm that the router pod is running on the infra node. View the list of router pods and note the node name of the running pod: USD oc get pod -n openshift-ingress -o wide Example output NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE IP NODE NOMINATED NODE READINESS GATES router-default-86798b4b5d-bdlvd 1/1 Running 0 28s 10.130.2.4 ip-10-0-217-226.ec2.internal <none> <none> router-default-955d875f4-255g8 0/1 Terminating 0 19h 10.129.2.4 ip-10-0-148-172.ec2.internal <none> <none> In this example, the running pod is on the ip-10-0-217-226.ec2.internal node.

Verify the registry pod has been moved to the infrastructure node. Run the following command to identify the node where the registry pod is located: USD oc get pods -o wide -n openshift-image-registry Confirm the node has the label you specified: USD oc describe node <node_name> Review the command output and confirm that node-role.kubernetes.io/infra is in the LABELS list. 6.8.3. Moving the monitoring solution The monitoring stack includes multiple components, including Prometheus, Thanos Querier, and Alertmanager. The Cluster Monitoring Operator manages this stack. To redeploy the monitoring stack to infrastructure nodes, you can create and apply a custom config map. Prerequisites You have access to the cluster as a user with the cluster-admin cluster role. You have created the cluster-monitoring-config ConfigMap object. You have installed the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). Procedure Edit the cluster-monitoring-config config map and change the nodeSelector to use the infra label: USD oc edit configmap cluster-monitoring-config -n openshift-monitoring apiVersion: v1 kind: ConfigMap metadata: name: cluster-monitoring-config namespace: openshift-monitoring data: config.yaml: |+ alertmanagerMain: nodeSelector: 1 node-role.kubernetes.io/infra: "" tolerations: - key: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra value: reserved effect: NoSchedule - key: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra value: reserved effect: NoExecute prometheusK8s: nodeSelector: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra: "" tolerations: - key: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra value: reserved effect: NoSchedule - key: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra value: reserved effect: NoExecute prometheusOperator: nodeSelector: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra: "" tolerations: - key: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra value: reserved effect: NoSchedule - key: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra value: reserved effect: NoExecute k8sPrometheusAdapter: nodeSelector: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra: "" tolerations: - key: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra value: reserved effect: NoSchedule - key: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra value: reserved effect: NoExecute kubeStateMetrics: nodeSelector: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra: "" tolerations: - key: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra value: reserved effect: NoSchedule - key: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra value: reserved effect: NoExecute telemeterClient: nodeSelector: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra: "" tolerations: - key: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra value: reserved effect: NoSchedule - key: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra value: reserved effect: NoExecute openshiftStateMetrics: nodeSelector: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra: "" tolerations: - key: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra value: reserved effect: NoSchedule - key: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra value: reserved effect: NoExecute thanosQuerier: nodeSelector: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra: "" tolerations: - key: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra value: reserved effect: NoSchedule - key: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra value: reserved effect: NoExecute monitoringPlugin: nodeSelector: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra: "" tolerations: - key: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra value: reserved effect: NoSchedule - key: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra value: reserved effect: NoExecute 1 Add a nodeSelector parameter with the appropriate value to the component you want to move.

Watch the monitoring pods move to the new machines: USD watch 'oc get pod -n openshift-monitoring -o wide' If a component has not moved to the infra node, delete the pod with this component: USD oc delete pod -n openshift-monitoring <pod> The component from the deleted pod is re-created on the infra node. 6.8.4. Moving logging resources For information about moving logging resources, see: Using node selectors to move logging resources Using taints and tolerations to control logging pod placement 6.9. Applying autoscaling to your cluster Applying autoscaling to an OpenShift Container Platform cluster involves deploying a cluster autoscaler and then deploying machine autoscalers for each machine type in your cluster. For more information, see Applying autoscaling to an OpenShift Container Platform cluster . 6.10. Configuring Linux cgroup As of OpenShift Container Platform 4.14, OpenShift Container Platform uses Linux control group version 2 (cgroup v2) in your cluster. If you are using cgroup v1 on OpenShift Container Platform 4.13 or earlier, migrating to OpenShift Container Platform 4.14 will not automatically update your cgroup configuration to version 2. A fresh installation of OpenShift Container Platform 4.14 will use cgroup v2 by default. However, you can enable Linux control group version 1 (cgroup v1) upon installation. cgroup v2 is the current version of the Linux cgroup API. cgroup v2 offers several improvements over cgroup v1, including a unified hierarchy, safer sub-tree delegation, new features such as Pressure Stall Information , and enhanced resource management and isolation. However, cgroup v2 has different CPU, memory, and I/O management characteristics than cgroup v1. Therefore, some workloads might experience slight differences in memory or CPU usage on clusters that run cgroup v2. You can change between cgroup v1 and cgroup v2, as needed. Enabling cgroup v1 in OpenShift Container Platform disables all cgroup v2 controllers and hierarchies in your cluster. Note In Telco, clusters using PerformanceProfile for low latency, real-time, and Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) workloads automatically revert to cgroups v1 due to the lack of cgroups v2 support. Enabling cgroup v2 is not supported if you are using PerformanceProfile . Prerequisites You have a running OpenShift Container Platform cluster that uses version 4.12 or later. You are logged in to the cluster as a user with administrative privileges. Procedure Enable cgroup v1 on nodes: Edit the node.config object: USD oc edit nodes.config/cluster Add spec.cgroupMode: "v1" : Example node.config object apiVersion: config.openshift.io/v1 kind: Node metadata: annotations: include.release.openshift.io/ibm-cloud-managed: "true" include.release.openshift.io/self-managed-high-availability: "true" include.release.openshift.io/single-node-developer: "true" release.openshift.io/create-only: "true" creationTimestamp: "2022-07-08T16:02:51Z" generation: 1 name: cluster ownerReferences: - apiVersion: config.openshift.io/v1 kind: ClusterVersion name: version uid: 36282574-bf9f-409e-a6cd-3032939293eb resourceVersion: "1865" uid: 0c0f7a4c-4307-4187-b591-6155695ac85b spec: cgroupMode: "v1" 1 ... 1 Enables cgroup v1.

Enabling Technology Preview features using FeatureGates You can turn on a subset of the current Technology Preview features on for all nodes in the cluster by editing the FeatureGate custom resource (CR). 6.11.1. Understanding feature gates You can use the FeatureGate custom resource (CR) to enable specific feature sets in your cluster. A feature set is a collection of OpenShift Container Platform features that are not enabled by default. You can activate the following feature set by using the FeatureGate CR: TechPreviewNoUpgrade . This feature set is a subset of the current Technology Preview features. This feature set allows you to enable these Technology Preview features on test clusters, where you can fully test them, while leaving the features disabled on production clusters. Warning Enabling the TechPreviewNoUpgrade feature set on your cluster cannot be undone and prevents minor version updates. You should not enable this feature set on production clusters. The following Technology Preview features are enabled by this feature set: External cloud providers. Enables support for external cloud providers for clusters on vSphere, AWS, Azure, and GCP. Support for OpenStack is GA. This is an internal feature that most users do not need to interact with. ( ExternalCloudProvider ) Shared Resources CSI Driver in OpenShift Builds. Enables the Container Storage Interface (CSI). ( CSIDriverSharedResource ) Swap memory on nodes. Enables swap memory use for OpenShift Container Platform workloads on a per-node basis. ( NodeSwap ) OpenStack Machine API Provider. This gate has no effect and is planned to be removed from this feature set in a future release. ( MachineAPIProviderOpenStack ) Insights Operator. Enables the InsightsDataGather CRD, which allows users to configure some Insights data gathering options. The feature set also enables the DataGather CRD, which allows users to run Insights data gathering on-demand. ( InsightsConfigAPI ) Retroactive Default Storage Class. Enables OpenShift Container Platform to retroactively assign the default storage class to PVCs if there was no default storage class when the PVC was created.( RetroactiveDefaultStorageClass ) Dynamic Resource Allocation API. Enables a new API for requesting and sharing resources between pods and containers. This is an internal feature that most users do not need to interact with. ( DynamicResourceAllocation ) Pod security admission enforcement. Enables the restricted enforcement mode for pod security admission. Instead of only logging a warning, pods are rejected if they violate pod security standards. ( OpenShiftPodSecurityAdmission ) StatefulSet pod availability upgrading limits. Enables users to define the maximum number of statefulset pods unavailable during updates which reduces application downtime. ( MaxUnavailableStatefulSet ) Admin Network Policy and Baseline Admin Network Policy. Enables AdminNetworkPolicy and BaselineAdminNetworkPolicy resources, which are part of the Network Policy V2 API, in clusters running the OVN-Kubernetes CNI plugin. Cluster administrators can apply cluster-scoped policies and safeguards for an entire cluster before namespaces are created. Network administrators can secure clusters by enforcing network traffic controls that cannot be overridden by users. Network administrators can enforce optional baseline network traffic controls that can be overridden by users in the cluster, if necessary. Currently, these APIs support only expressing policies for intra-cluster traffic. ( AdminNetworkPolicy ) MatchConditions is a list of conditions that must be met for a request to be sent to this webhook. Match conditions filter requests that have already been matched by the rules, namespaceSelector, and objectSelector. An empty list of matchConditions matches all requests. ( admissionWebhookMatchConditions ) Gateway API. To enable the OpenShift Container Platform Gateway API, set the value of the enabled field to true in the techPreview.gatewayAPI specification of the ServiceMeshControlPlane resource.( gateGatewayAPI ) sigstoreImageVerification gcpLabelsTags vSphereStaticIPs routeExternalCertificate automatedEtcdBackup 6.11.2. Enabling feature sets using the web console You can use the OpenShift Container Platform web console to enable feature sets for all of the nodes in a cluster by editing the FeatureGate custom resource (CR). Procedure To enable feature sets: In the OpenShift Container Platform web console, switch to the Administration Custom Resource Definitions page. On the Custom Resource Definitions page, click FeatureGate . On the Custom Resource Definition Details page, click the Instances tab. Click the cluster feature gate, then click the YAML tab. Edit the cluster instance to add specific feature sets: Warning Enabling the TechPreviewNoUpgrade feature set on your cluster cannot be undone and prevents minor version updates. You should not enable this feature set on production clusters. Sample Feature Gate custom resource apiVersion: config.openshift.io/v1 kind: FeatureGate metadata: name: cluster 1 # ... spec: featureSet: TechPreviewNoUpgrade 2 1 The name of the FeatureGate CR must be cluster . 2 Add the feature set that you want to enable: TechPreviewNoUpgrade enables specific Technology Preview features. After you save the changes, new machine configs are created, the machine config pools are updated, and scheduling on each node is disabled while the change is being applied. Verification You can verify that the feature gates are enabled by looking at the kubelet.conf file on a node after the nodes return to the ready state.

The features that are listed as true are enabled on your cluster. Note The features listed vary depending upon the OpenShift Container Platform version. 6.12. etcd tasks Back up etcd, enable or disable etcd encryption, or defragment etcd data. 6.12.1. About etcd encryption By default, etcd data is not encrypted in OpenShift Container Platform. You can enable etcd encryption for your cluster to provide an additional layer of data security. For example, it can help protect the loss of sensitive data if an etcd backup is exposed to the incorrect parties. When you enable etcd encryption, the following OpenShift API server and Kubernetes API server resources are encrypted: Secrets Config maps Routes OAuth access tokens OAuth authorize tokens When you enable etcd encryption, encryption keys are created. You must have these keys to restore from an etcd backup. Note Etcd encryption only encrypts values, not keys. Resource types, namespaces, and object names are unencrypted. If etcd encryption is enabled during a backup, the static_kuberesources_<datetimestamp>.tar.gz file contains the encryption keys for the etcd snapshot. For security reasons, store this file separately from the etcd snapshot. However, this file is required to restore a state of etcd from the respective etcd snapshot. 6.12.2. Supported encryption types The following encryption types are supported for encrypting etcd data in OpenShift Container Platform: AES-CBC Uses AES-CBC with PKCS#7 padding and a 32 byte key to perform the encryption. The encryption keys are rotated weekly. AES-GCM Uses AES-GCM with a random nonce and a 32 byte key to perform the encryption. The encryption keys are rotated weekly. 6.12.3. Enabling etcd encryption You can enable etcd encryption to encrypt sensitive resources in your cluster. Warning Do not back up etcd resources until the initial encryption process is completed. If the encryption process is not completed, the backup might be only partially encrypted. After you enable etcd encryption, several changes can occur: The etcd encryption might affect the memory consumption of a few resources. You might notice a transient affect on backup performance because the leader must serve the backup. A disk I/O can affect the node that receives the backup state. You can encrypt the etcd database in either AES-GCM or AES-CBC encryption. Note To migrate your etcd database from one encryption type to the other, you can modify the API server's spec.encryption.type field. Migration of the etcd data to the new encryption type occurs automatically. Prerequisites Access to the cluster as a user with the cluster-admin role. Procedure Modify the APIServer object: USD oc edit apiserver Set the spec.encryption.type field to aesgcm or aescbc : spec: encryption: type: aesgcm 1 1 Set to aesgcm for AES-GCM encryption or aescbc for AES-CBC encryption. Save the file to apply the changes. The encryption process starts. It can take 20 minutes or longer for this process to complete, depending on the size of the etcd database. Verify that etcd encryption was successful. Review the Encrypted status condition for the OpenShift API server to verify that its resources were successfully encrypted: USD oc get openshiftapiserver -o=jsonpath='{range .items[0].status.conditions[?(@.type=="Encrypted")]}{.reason}{"\n"}{.message}{"\n"}' The output shows EncryptionCompleted upon successful encryption: EncryptionCompleted All resources encrypted: routes.route.openshift.io If the output shows EncryptionInProgress , encryption is still in progress. Wait a few minutes and try again. Review the Encrypted status condition for the Kubernetes API server to verify that its resources were successfully encrypted: USD oc get kubeapiserver -o=jsonpath='{range .items[0].status.conditions[?(@.type=="Encrypted")]}{.reason}{"\n"}{.message}{"\n"}' The output shows EncryptionCompleted upon successful encryption: EncryptionCompleted All resources encrypted: secrets, configmaps If the output shows EncryptionInProgress , encryption is still in progress. Wait a few minutes and try again. Review the Encrypted status condition for the OpenShift OAuth API server to verify that its resources were successfully encrypted: USD oc get authentication.operator.openshift.io -o=jsonpath='{range .items[0].status.conditions[?(@.type=="Encrypted")]}{.reason}{"\n"}{.message}{"\n"}' The output shows EncryptionCompleted upon successful encryption: EncryptionCompleted All resources encrypted: oauthaccesstokens.oauth.openshift.io, oauthauthorizetokens.oauth.openshift.io If the output shows EncryptionInProgress , encryption is still in progress. Wait a few minutes and try again. 6.12.4. Disabling etcd encryption You can disable encryption of etcd data in your cluster. Prerequisites Access to the cluster as a user with the cluster-admin role. Procedure Modify the APIServer object: USD oc edit apiserver Set the encryption field type to identity : spec: encryption: type: identity 1 1 The identity type is the default value and means that no encryption is performed. Save the file to apply the changes. The decryption process starts. It can take 20 minutes or longer for this process to complete, depending on the size of your cluster. Verify that etcd decryption was successful. Review the Encrypted status condition for the OpenShift API server to verify that its resources were successfully decrypted: USD oc get openshiftapiserver -o=jsonpath='{range .items[0].status.conditions[?(@.type=="Encrypted")]}{.reason}{"\n"}{.message}{"\n"}' The output shows DecryptionCompleted upon successful decryption: DecryptionCompleted Encryption mode set to identity and everything is decrypted If the output shows DecryptionInProgress , decryption is still in progress. Wait a few minutes and try again. Review the Encrypted status condition for the Kubernetes API server to verify that its resources were successfully decrypted: USD oc get kubeapiserver -o=jsonpath='{range .items[0].status.conditions[?(@.type=="Encrypted")]}{.reason}{"\n"}{.message}{"\n"}' The output shows DecryptionCompleted upon successful decryption: DecryptionCompleted Encryption mode set to identity and everything is decrypted If the output shows DecryptionInProgress , decryption is still in progress. Wait a few minutes and try again. Review the Encrypted status condition for the OpenShift OAuth API server to verify that its resources were successfully decrypted: USD oc get authentication.operator.openshift.io -o=jsonpath='{range .items[0].status.conditions[?(@.type=="Encrypted")]}{.reason}{"\n"}{.message}{"\n"}' The output shows DecryptionCompleted upon successful decryption: DecryptionCompleted Encryption mode set to identity and everything is decrypted If the output shows DecryptionInProgress , decryption is still in progress. Wait a few minutes and try again. 6.12.5. Backing up etcd data Follow these steps to back up etcd data by creating an etcd snapshot and backing up the resources for the static pods. This backup can be saved and used at a later time if you need to restore etcd. Important Only save a backup from a single control plane host. Do not take a backup from each control plane host in the cluster. Prerequisites You have access to the cluster as a user with the cluster-admin role. You have checked whether the cluster-wide proxy is enabled. Tip You can check whether the proxy is enabled by reviewing the output of oc get proxy cluster -o yaml . The proxy is enabled if the httpProxy , httpsProxy , and noProxy fields have values set. Procedure Start a debug session as root for a control plane node: USD oc debug --as-root node/<node_name> Change your root directory to /host in the debug shell: sh-4.4# chroot /host If the cluster-wide proxy is enabled, export the NO_PROXY , HTTP_PROXY , and HTTPS_PROXY environment variables by running the following commands: USD export HTTP_PROXY=http://<your_proxy.example.com>:8080 USD export HTTPS_PROXY=https://<your_proxy.example.com>:8080 USD export NO_PROXY=<example.com> Run the cluster-backup.sh script in the debug shell and pass in the location to save the backup to. Tip The cluster-backup.sh script is maintained as a component of the etcd Cluster Operator and is a wrapper around the etcdctl snapshot save command. sh-4.4# /usr/local/bin/cluster-backup.sh /home/core/assets/backup Example script output found latest kube-apiserver: /etc/kubernetes/static-pod-resources/kube-apiserver-pod-6 found latest kube-controller-manager: /etc/kubernetes/static-pod-resources/kube-controller-manager-pod-7 found latest kube-scheduler: /etc/kubernetes/static-pod-resources/kube-scheduler-pod-6 found latest etcd: /etc/kubernetes/static-pod-resources/etcd-pod-3 ede95fe6b88b87ba86a03c15e669fb4aa5bf0991c180d3c6895ce72eaade54a1 etcdctl version: 3.4.14 API version: 3.4 {"level":"info","ts":1624647639.0188997,"caller":"snapshot/v3_snapshot.go:119","msg":"created temporary db file","path":"/home/core/assets/backup/snapshot_2021-06-25_190035.db.part"} {"level":"info","ts":"2021-06-25T19:00:39.030Z","caller":"clientv3/maintenance.go:200","msg":"opened snapshot stream; downloading"} {"level":"info","ts":1624647639.0301006,"caller":"snapshot/v3_snapshot.go:127","msg":"fetching snapshot","endpoint":"https://10.0.0.5:2379"} {"level":"info","ts":"2021-06-25T19:00:40.215Z","caller":"clientv3/maintenance.go:208","msg":"completed snapshot read; closing"} {"level":"info","ts":1624647640.6032252,"caller":"snapshot/v3_snapshot.go:142","msg":"fetched snapshot","endpoint":"https://10.0.0.5:2379","size":"114 MB","took":1.584090459} {"level":"info","ts":1624647640.6047094,"caller":"snapshot/v3_snapshot.go:152","msg":"saved","path":"/home/core/assets/backup/snapshot_2021-06-25_190035.db"} Snapshot saved at /home/core/assets/backup/snapshot_2021-06-25_190035.db {"hash":3866667823,"revision":31407,"totalKey":12828,"totalSize":114446336} snapshot db and kube resources are successfully saved to /home/core/assets/backup In this example, two files are created in the /home/core/assets/backup/ directory on the control plane host: snapshot_<datetimestamp>.db : This file is the etcd snapshot. The cluster-backup.sh script confirms its validity. static_kuberesources_<datetimestamp>.tar.gz : This file contains the resources for the static pods. If etcd encryption is enabled, it also contains the encryption keys for the etcd snapshot. Note If etcd encryption is enabled, it is recommended to store this second file separately from the etcd snapshot for security reasons. However, this file is required to restore from the etcd snapshot. Keep in mind that etcd encryption only encrypts values, not keys. This means that resource types, namespaces, and object names are unencrypted. 6.12.6. Defragmenting etcd data For large and dense clusters, etcd can suffer from poor performance if the keyspace grows too large and exceeds the space quota. Periodically maintain and defragment etcd to free up space in the data store. Monitor Prometheus for etcd metrics and defragment it when required; otherwise, etcd can raise a cluster-wide alarm that puts the cluster into a maintenance mode that accepts only key reads and deletes. Monitor these key metrics: etcd_server_quota_backend_bytes , which is the current quota limit etcd_mvcc_db_total_size_in_use_in_bytes , which indicates the actual database usage after a history compaction etcd_mvcc_db_total_size_in_bytes , which shows the database size, including free space waiting for defragmentation Defragment etcd data to reclaim disk space after events that cause disk fragmentation, such as etcd history compaction. History compaction is performed automatically every five minutes and leaves gaps in the back-end database. This fragmented space is available for use by etcd, but is not available to the host file system. You must defragment etcd to make this space available to the host file system. Defragmentation occurs automatically, but you can also trigger it manually. Note Automatic defragmentation is good for most cases, because the etcd operator uses cluster information to determine the most efficient operation for the user. 6.12.6.1. Automatic defragmentation The etcd Operator automatically defragments disks. No manual intervention is needed. Verify that the defragmentation process is successful by viewing one of these logs: etcd logs cluster-etcd-operator pod operator status error log Warning Automatic defragmentation can cause leader election failure in various OpenShift core components, such as the Kubernetes controller manager, which triggers a restart of the failing component. The restart is harmless and either triggers failover to the running instance or the component resumes work again after the restart. Example log output for successful defragmentation etcd member has been defragmented: <member_name> , memberID: <member_id> Example log output for unsuccessful defragmentation failed defrag on member: <member_name> , memberID: <member_id> : <error_message> 6.12.6.2. Manual defragmentation A Prometheus alert indicates when you need to use manual defragmentation. The alert is displayed in two cases: When etcd uses more than 50% of its available space for more than 10 minutes When etcd is actively using less than 50% of its total database size for more than 10 minutes You can also determine whether defragmentation is needed by checking the etcd database size in MB that will be freed by defragmentation with the PromQL expression: (etcd_mvcc_db_total_size_in_bytes - etcd_mvcc_db_total_size_in_use_in_bytes)/1024/1024 Warning Defragmenting etcd is a blocking action. The etcd member will not respond until defragmentation is complete. For this reason, wait at least one minute between defragmentation actions on each of the pods to allow the cluster to recover. Follow this procedure to defragment etcd data on each etcd member. Prerequisites You have access to the cluster as a user with the cluster-admin role. Procedure Determine which etcd member is the leader, because the leader should be defragmented last. Get the list of etcd pods: USD oc -n openshift-etcd get pods -l k8s-app=etcd -o wide Example output etcd-ip-10-0-159-225.example.redhat.com 3/3 Running 0 175m 10.0.159.225 ip-10-0-159-225.example.redhat.com <none> <none> etcd-ip-10-0-191-37.example.redhat.com 3/3 Running 0 173m 10.0.191.37 ip-10-0-191-37.example.redhat.com <none> <none> etcd-ip-10-0-199-170.example.redhat.com 3/3 Running 0 176m 10.0.199.170 ip-10-0-199-170.example.redhat.com <none> <none> Choose a pod and run the following command to determine which etcd member is the leader: USD oc rsh -n openshift-etcd etcd-ip-10-0-159-225.example.redhat.com etcdctl endpoint status --cluster -w table Example output Defaulting container name to etcdctl.

Repeat these steps to connect to each of the other etcd members and defragment them. Always defragment the leader last. Wait at least one minute between defragmentation actions to allow the etcd pod to recover. Until the etcd pod recovers, the etcd member will not respond. If any NOSPACE alarms were triggered due to the space quota being exceeded, clear them. Check if there are any NOSPACE alarms: sh-4.4# etcdctl alarm list Example output memberID:12345678912345678912 alarm:NOSPACE Clear the alarms: sh-4.4# etcdctl alarm disarm 6.12.7. Restoring to a cluster state You can use a saved etcd backup to restore a cluster state or restore a cluster that has lost the majority of control plane hosts. Note If your cluster uses a control plane machine set, see "Troubleshooting the control plane machine set" for a more simple etcd recovery procedure. Important When you restore your cluster, you must use an etcd backup that was taken from the same z-stream release. For example, an OpenShift Container Platform 4.7.2 cluster must use an etcd backup that was taken from 4.7.2. Prerequisites Access to the cluster as a user with the cluster-admin role through a certificate-based kubeconfig file, like the one that was used during installation. A healthy control plane host to use as the recovery host. SSH access to control plane hosts. A backup directory containing both the etcd snapshot and the resources for the static pods, which were from the same backup. The file names in the directory must be in the following formats: snapshot_<datetimestamp>.db and static_kuberesources_<datetimestamp>.tar.gz . Important For non-recovery control plane nodes, it is not required to establish SSH connectivity or to stop the static pods. You can delete and recreate other non-recovery, control plane machines, one by one. Procedure Select a control plane host to use as the recovery host. This is the host that you will run the restore operation on. Establish SSH connectivity to each of the control plane nodes, including the recovery host. kube-apiserver becomes inaccessible after the restore process starts, so you cannot access the control plane nodes. For this reason, it is recommended to establish SSH connectivity to each control plane host in a separate terminal. Important If you do not complete this step, you will not be able to access the control plane hosts to complete the restore procedure, and you will be unable to recover your cluster from this state. Copy the etcd backup directory to the recovery control plane host. This procedure assumes that you copied the backup directory containing the etcd snapshot and the resources for the static pods to the /home/core/ directory of your recovery control plane host. Stop the static pods on any other control plane nodes. Note You do not need to stop the static pods on the recovery host. Access a control plane host that is not the recovery host. Move the existing etcd pod file out of the kubelet manifest directory by running: USD sudo mv -v /etc/kubernetes/manifests/etcd-pod.yaml /tmp Verify that the etcd pods are stopped by using: USD sudo crictl ps | grep etcd | egrep -v "operator|etcd-guard" If the output of this command is not empty, wait a few minutes and check again. Move the existing kube-apiserver file out of the kubelet manifest directory by running: USD sudo mv -v /etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-apiserver-pod.yaml /tmp Verify that the kube-apiserver containers are stopped by running: USD sudo crictl ps | grep kube-apiserver | egrep -v "operator|guard" If the output of this command is not empty, wait a few minutes and check again. Move the existing kube-controller-manager file out of the kubelet manifest directory by using: USD sudo mv -v /etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-controller-manager-pod.yaml /tmp Verify that the kube-controller-manager containers are stopped by running: USD sudo crictl ps | grep kube-controller-manager | egrep -v "operator|guard" If the output of this command is not empty, wait a few minutes and check again. Move the existing kube-scheduler file out of the kubelet manifest directory by using: USD sudo mv -v /etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-scheduler-pod.yaml /tmp Verify that the kube-scheduler containers are stopped by using: USD sudo crictl ps | grep kube-scheduler | egrep -v "operator|guard" If the output of this command is not empty, wait a few minutes and check again. Move the etcd data directory to a different location with the following example: USD sudo mv -v /var/lib/etcd/ /tmp If the /etc/kubernetes/manifests/keepalived.yaml file exists and the node is deleted, follow these steps: Move the /etc/kubernetes/manifests/keepalived.yaml file out of the kubelet manifest directory: USD sudo mv -v /etc/kubernetes/manifests/keepalived.yaml /tmp Verify that any containers managed by the keepalived daemon are stopped: USD sudo crictl ps --name keepalived The output of this command should be empty. If it is not empty, wait a few minutes and check again. Check if the control plane has any Virtual IPs (VIPs) assigned to it: USD ip -o address | egrep '<api_vip>|<ingress_vip>' For each reported VIP, run the following command to remove it: USD sudo ip address del <reported_vip> dev <reported_vip_device> Repeat this step on each of the other control plane hosts that is not the recovery host. Access the recovery control plane host. If the keepalived daemon is in use, verify that the recovery control plane node owns the VIP: USD ip -o address | grep <api_vip> The address of the VIP is highlighted in the output if it exists. This command returns an empty string if the VIP is not set or configured incorrectly. If the cluster-wide proxy is enabled, be sure that you have exported the NO_PROXY , HTTP_PROXY , and HTTPS_PROXY environment variables. Tip You can check whether the proxy is enabled by reviewing the output of oc get proxy cluster -o yaml . The proxy is enabled if the httpProxy , httpsProxy , and noProxy fields have values set. Run the restore script on the recovery control plane host and pass in the path to the etcd backup directory: USD sudo -E /usr/local/bin/cluster-restore.sh /home/core/assets/backup Example script output ...stopping kube-scheduler-pod.yaml ...stopping kube-controller-manager-pod.yaml ...stopping etcd-pod.yaml ...stopping kube-apiserver-pod.yaml Waiting for container etcd to stop .complete Waiting for container etcdctl to stop .............................complete Waiting for container etcd-metrics to stop complete Waiting for container kube-controller-manager to stop complete Waiting for container kube-apiserver to stop ..........................................................................................complete Waiting for container kube-scheduler to stop complete Moving etcd data-dir /var/lib/etcd/member to /var/lib/etcd-backup starting restore-etcd static pod starting kube-apiserver-pod.yaml static-pod-resources/kube-apiserver-pod-7/kube-apiserver-pod.yaml starting kube-controller-manager-pod.yaml static-pod-resources/kube-controller-manager-pod-7/kube-controller-manager-pod.yaml starting kube-scheduler-pod.yaml static-pod-resources/kube-scheduler-pod-8/kube-scheduler-pod.yaml The cluster-restore.sh script must show that etcd , kube-apiserver , kube-controller-manager , and kube-scheduler pods are stopped and then started at the end of the restore process. Note The restore process can cause nodes to enter the NotReady state if the node certificates were updated after the last etcd backup. Check the nodes to ensure they are in the Ready state. Run the following command: USD oc get nodes -w Sample output NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION host-172-25-75-28 Ready master 3d20h v1.27.3 host-172-25-75-38 Ready infra,worker 3d20h v1.27.3 host-172-25-75-40 Ready master 3d20h v1.27.3 host-172-25-75-65 Ready master 3d20h v1.27.3 host-172-25-75-74 Ready infra,worker 3d20h v1.27.3 host-172-25-75-79 Ready worker 3d20h v1.27.3 host-172-25-75-86 Ready worker 3d20h v1.27.3 host-172-25-75-98 Ready infra,worker 3d20h v1.27.3 It can take several minutes for all nodes to report their state. If any nodes are in the NotReady state, log in to the nodes and remove all of the PEM files from the /var/lib/kubelet/pki directory on each node. You can SSH into the nodes or use the terminal window in the web console. USD ssh -i <ssh-key-path> core@<master-hostname> Sample pki directory sh-4.4# pwd /var/lib/kubelet/pki sh-4.4# ls kubelet-client-2022-04-28-11-24-09.pem kubelet-server-2022-04-28-11-24-15.pem kubelet-client-current.pem kubelet-server-current.pem Restart the kubelet service on all control plane hosts. From the recovery host, run: USD sudo systemctl restart kubelet.service Repeat this step on all other control plane hosts. Approve the pending Certificate Signing Requests (CSRs): Note Clusters with no worker nodes, such as single-node clusters or clusters consisting of three schedulable control plane nodes, will not have any pending CSRs to approve. You can skip all the commands listed in this step. Get the list of current CSRs by running: USD oc get csr Example output 1 1 2 A pending kubelet serving CSR, requested by the node for the kubelet serving endpoint. 3 4 A pending kubelet client CSR, requested with the node-bootstrapper node bootstrap credentials. Review the details of a CSR to verify that it is valid by running: USD oc describe csr <csr_name> 1 1 <csr_name> is the name of a CSR from the list of current CSRs. Approve each valid node-bootstrapper CSR by running: USD oc adm certificate approve <csr_name> For user-provisioned installations, approve each valid kubelet service CSR by running: USD oc adm certificate approve <csr_name> Verify that the single member control plane has started successfully. From the recovery host, verify that the etcd container is running by using: USD sudo crictl ps | grep etcd | egrep -v "operator|etcd-guard" Example output 3ad41b7908e32 36f86e2eeaaffe662df0d21041eb22b8198e0e58abeeae8c743c3e6e977e8009 About a minute ago Running etcd 0 7c05f8af362f0 From the recovery host, verify that the etcd pod is running by using: USD oc -n openshift-etcd get pods -l k8s-app=etcd Example output NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE etcd-ip-10-0-143-125.ec2.internal 1/1 Running 1 2m47s If the status is Pending , or the output lists more than one running etcd pod, wait a few minutes and check again. If you are using the OVNKubernetes network plugin, you must restart ovnkube-controlplane pods. Delete all of the ovnkube-controlplane pods by running: USD oc -n openshift-ovn-kubernetes delete pod -l app=ovnkube-control-plane Verify that all of the ovnkube-controlplane pods were redeployed by using: USD oc -n openshift-ovn-kubernetes get pod -l app=ovnkube-control-plane If you are using the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin, restart the Open Virtual Network (OVN) Kubernetes pods on all the nodes one by one. Use the following steps to restart OVN-Kubernetes pods on each node: Important Restart OVN-Kubernetes pods in the following order: The recovery control plane host The other control plane hosts (if available) The other nodes Note Validating and mutating admission webhooks can reject pods. If you add any additional webhooks with the failurePolicy set to Fail , then they can reject pods and the restoration process can fail. You can avoid this by saving and deleting webhooks while restoring the cluster state. After the cluster state is restored successfully, you can enable the webhooks again. Alternatively, you can temporarily set the failurePolicy to Ignore while restoring the cluster state. After the cluster state is restored successfully, you can set the failurePolicy to Fail . Remove the northbound database (nbdb) and southbound database (sbdb). Access the recovery host and the remaining control plane nodes by using Secure Shell (SSH) and run: USD sudo rm -f /var/lib/ovn-ic/etc/*.db Restart the OpenVSwitch services. Access the node by using Secure Shell (SSH) and run the following command: USD sudo systemctl restart ovs-vswitchd ovsdb-server Delete the ovnkube-node pod on the node by running the following command, replacing <node> with the name of the node that you are restarting: USD oc -n openshift-ovn-kubernetes delete pod -l app=ovnkube-node --field-selector=spec.nodeName==<node> Check the status of the OVN pods by running the following command: USD oc get po -n openshift-ovn-kubernetes If any OVN pods are in the Terminating status, delete the node that is running that OVN pod by running the following command. Replace <node> with the name of the node you are deleting: USD oc delete node <node> Use SSH to log in to the OVN pod node with the Terminating status by running the following command: USD ssh -i <ssh-key-path> core@<node> Move all PEM files from the /var/lib/kubelet/pki directory by running the following command: USD sudo mv /var/lib/kubelet/pki/* /tmp Restart the kubelet service by running the following command: USD sudo systemctl restart kubelet.service Return to the recovery etcd machines by running the following command: USD oc get csr Example output NAME AGE SIGNERNAME REQUESTOR CONDITION csr-<uuid> 8m3s kubernetes.io/kubelet-serving system:node:<node_name> Pending Approve all new CSRs by running the following command, replacing csr-<uuid> with the name of the CSR: oc adm certificate approve csr-<uuid> Verify that the node is back by running the following command: USD oc get nodes Verify that the ovnkube-node pod is running again with: USD oc -n openshift-ovn-kubernetes get pod -l app=ovnkube-node --field-selector=spec.nodeName==<node> Note It might take several minutes for the pods to restart. Delete and re-create other non-recovery, control plane machines, one by one. After the machines are re-created, a new revision is forced and etcd automatically scales up. If you use a user-provisioned bare metal installation, you can re-create a control plane machine by using the same method that you used to originally create it. For more information, see "Installing a user-provisioned cluster on bare metal". Warning Do not delete and re-create the machine for the recovery host. If you are running installer-provisioned infrastructure, or you used the Machine API to create your machines, follow these steps: Warning Do not delete and re-create the machine for the recovery host. For bare metal installations on installer-provisioned infrastructure, control plane machines are not re-created. For more information, see "Replacing a bare-metal control plane node". Obtain the machine for one of the lost control plane hosts.

It might take a few minutes for the new machine to be created. The etcd cluster Operator will automatically sync when the machine or node returns to a healthy state. Repeat these steps for each lost control plane host that is not the recovery host. Turn off the quorum guard by entering: USD oc patch etcd/cluster --type=merge -p '{"spec": {"unsupportedConfigOverrides": {"useUnsupportedUnsafeNonHANonProductionUnstableEtcd": true}}}' This command ensures that you can successfully re-create secrets and roll out the static pods. In a separate terminal window within the recovery host, export the recovery kubeconfig file by running: USD export KUBECONFIG=/etc/kubernetes/static-pod-resources/kube-apiserver-certs/secrets/node-kubeconfigs/localhost-recovery.kubeconfig Force etcd redeployment. In the same terminal window where you exported the recovery kubeconfig file, run: USD oc patch etcd cluster -p='{"spec": {"forceRedeploymentReason": "recovery-'"USD( date --rfc-3339=ns )"'"}}' --type=merge 1 1 The forceRedeploymentReason value must be unique, which is why a timestamp is appended. When the etcd cluster Operator performs a redeployment, the existing nodes are started with new pods similar to the initial bootstrap scale up. Turn the quorum guard back on by entering: USD oc patch etcd/cluster --type=merge -p '{"spec": {"unsupportedConfigOverrides": null}}' You can verify that the unsupportedConfigOverrides section is removed from the object by running: USD oc get etcd/cluster -oyaml Verify all nodes are updated to the latest revision.

The output shows AllNodesAtLatestRevision upon successful update: AllNodesAtLatestRevision 3 nodes are at revision 7 1 1 In this example, the latest revision number is 7 . If the output includes multiple revision numbers, such as 2 nodes are at revision 6; 1 nodes are at revision 7 , this means that the update is still in progress. Wait a few minutes and try again. After etcd is redeployed, force new rollouts for the control plane. kube-apiserver will reinstall itself on the other nodes because the kubelet is connected to API servers using an internal load balancer. In a terminal that has access to the cluster as a cluster-admin user, run: Force a new rollout for kube-apiserver : USD oc patch kubeapiserver cluster -p='{"spec": {"forceRedeploymentReason": "recovery-'"USD( date --rfc-3339=ns )"'"}}' --type=merge Verify all nodes are updated to the latest revision.

Verify that all control plane hosts have started and joined the cluster. In a terminal that has access to the cluster as a cluster-admin user, run the following command: USD oc -n openshift-etcd get pods -l k8s-app=etcd Example output etcd-ip-10-0-143-125.ec2.internal 2/2 Running 0 9h etcd-ip-10-0-154-194.ec2.internal 2/2 Running 0 9h etcd-ip-10-0-173-171.ec2.internal 2/2 Running 0 9h To ensure that all workloads return to normal operation following a recovery procedure, restart all control plane nodes. Note On completion of the procedural steps, you might need to wait a few minutes for all services to return to their restored state. For example, authentication by using oc login might not immediately work until the OAuth server pods are restarted. Consider using the system:admin kubeconfig file for immediate authentication. This method basis its authentication on SSL/TLS client certificates as against OAuth tokens. You can authenticate with this file by issuing the following command: USD export KUBECONFIG=<installation_directory>/auth/kubeconfig Issue the following command to display your authenticated user name: USD oc whoami Additional resources Recommended etcd practices Installing a user-provisioned cluster on bare metal Replacing a bare-metal control plane node 6.12.8. Issues and workarounds for restoring a persistent storage state If your OpenShift Container Platform cluster uses persistent storage of any form, a state of the cluster is typically stored outside etcd. It might be an Elasticsearch cluster running in a pod or a database running in a StatefulSet object. When you restore from an etcd backup, the status of the workloads in OpenShift Container Platform is also restored. However, if the etcd snapshot is old, the status might be invalid or outdated. Important The contents of persistent volumes (PVs) are never part of the etcd snapshot. When you restore an OpenShift Container Platform cluster from an etcd snapshot, non-critical workloads might gain access to critical data, or vice-versa. The following are some example scenarios that produce an out-of-date status: MySQL database is running in a pod backed up by a PV object. Restoring OpenShift Container Platform from an etcd snapshot does not bring back the volume on the storage provider, and does not produce a running MySQL pod, despite the pod repeatedly attempting to start. You must manually restore this pod by restoring the volume on the storage provider, and then editing the PV to point to the new volume. Pod P1 is using volume A, which is attached to node X. If the etcd snapshot is taken while another pod uses the same volume on node Y, then when the etcd restore is performed, pod P1 might not be able to start correctly due to the volume still being attached to node Y. OpenShift Container Platform is not aware of the attachment, and does not automatically detach it. When this occurs, the volume must be manually detached from node Y so that the volume can attach on node X, and then pod P1 can start. Cloud provider or storage provider credentials were updated after the etcd snapshot was taken. This causes any CSI drivers or Operators that depend on the those credentials to not work. You might have to manually update the credentials required by those drivers or Operators. A device is removed or renamed from OpenShift Container Platform nodes after the etcd snapshot is taken. The Local Storage Operator creates symlinks for each PV that it manages from /dev/disk/by-id or /dev directories. This situation might cause the local PVs to refer to devices that no longer exist. To fix this problem, an administrator must: Manually remove the PVs with invalid devices. Remove symlinks from respective nodes. Delete LocalVolume or LocalVolumeSet objects (see Storage Configuring persistent storage Persistent storage using local volumes Deleting the Local Storage Operator Resources ). 6.13. Pod disruption budgets Understand and configure pod disruption budgets. 6.13.1. Understanding how to use pod disruption budgets to specify the number of pods that must be up A pod disruption budget allows the specification of safety constraints on pods during operations, such as draining a node for maintenance. PodDisruptionBudget is an API object that specifies the minimum number or percentage of replicas that must be up at a time. Setting these in projects can be helpful during node maintenance (such as scaling a cluster down or a cluster upgrade) and is only honored on voluntary evictions (not on node failures). A PodDisruptionBudget object's configuration consists of the following key parts: A label selector, which is a label query over a set of pods. An availability level, which specifies the minimum number of pods that must be available simultaneously, either: minAvailable is the number of pods must always be available, even during a disruption. maxUnavailable is the number of pods can be unavailable during a disruption. Note Available refers to the number of pods that has condition Ready=True . Ready=True refers to the pod that is able to serve requests and should be added to the load balancing pools of all matching services. A maxUnavailable of 0% or 0 or a minAvailable of 100% or equal to the number of replicas is permitted but can block nodes from being drained. Warning The default setting for maxUnavailable is 1 for all the machine config pools in OpenShift Container Platform. It is recommended to not change this value and update one control plane node at a time. Do not change this value to 3 for the control plane pool. You can check for pod disruption budgets across all projects with the following: USD oc get poddisruptionbudget --all-namespaces Example output NAMESPACE NAME MIN AVAILABLE MAX UNAVAILABLE ALLOWED DISRUPTIONS AGE openshift-apiserver openshift-apiserver-pdb N/A 1 1 121m openshift-cloud-controller-manager aws-cloud-controller-manager 1 N/A 1 125m openshift-cloud-credential-operator pod-identity-webhook 1 N/A 1 117m openshift-cluster-csi-drivers aws-ebs-csi-driver-controller-pdb N/A 1 1 121m openshift-cluster-storage-operator csi-snapshot-controller-pdb N/A 1 1 122m openshift-cluster-storage-operator csi-snapshot-webhook-pdb N/A 1 1 122m openshift-console console N/A 1 1 116m #... The PodDisruptionBudget is considered healthy when there are at least minAvailable pods running in the system. Every pod above that limit can be evicted. Note Depending on your pod priority and preemption settings, lower-priority pods might be removed despite their pod disruption budget requirements. 6.13.2. Specifying the number of pods that must be up with pod disruption budgets You can use a PodDisruptionBudget object to specify the minimum number or percentage of replicas that must be up at a time. Procedure To configure a pod disruption budget: Create a YAML file with the an object definition similar to the following: apiVersion: policy/v1 1 kind: PodDisruptionBudget metadata: name: my-pdb spec: minAvailable: 2 2 selector: 3 matchLabels: name: my-pod 1 PodDisruptionBudget is part of the policy/v1 API group. 2 The minimum number of pods that must be available simultaneously. This can be either an integer or a string specifying a percentage, for example, 20% . 3 A label query over a set of resources. The result of matchLabels and matchExpressions are logically conjoined. Leave this parameter blank, for example selector {} , to select all pods in the project. Or: apiVersion: policy/v1 1 kind: PodDisruptionBudget metadata: name: my-pdb spec: maxUnavailable: 25% 2 selector: 3 matchLabels: name: my-pod 1 PodDisruptionBudget is part of the policy/v1 API group. 2 The maximum number of pods that can be unavailable simultaneously. This can be either an integer or a string specifying a percentage, for example, 20% . 3 A label query over a set of resources. The result of matchLabels and matchExpressions are logically conjoined. Leave this parameter blank, for example selector {} , to select all pods in the project. Run the following command to add the object to project: USD oc create -f </path/to/file> -n <project_name> 6.13.3. Specifying the eviction policy for unhealthy pods When you use pod disruption budgets (PDBs) to specify how many pods must be available simultaneously, you can also define the criteria for how unhealthy pods are considered for eviction. You can choose one of the following policies: IfHealthyBudget Running pods that are not yet healthy can be evicted only if the guarded application is not disrupted. AlwaysAllow Running pods that are not yet healthy can be evicted regardless of whether the criteria in the pod disruption budget is met. This policy can help evict malfunctioning applications, such as ones with pods stuck in the CrashLoopBackOff state or failing to report the Ready status. Note It is recommended to set the unhealthyPodEvictionPolicy field to AlwaysAllow in the PodDisruptionBudget object to support the eviction of misbehaving applications during a node drain. The default behavior is to wait for the application pods to become healthy before the drain can proceed. Procedure Create a YAML file that defines a PodDisruptionBudget object and specify the unhealthy pod eviction policy: Example pod-disruption-budget.yaml file apiVersion: policy/v1 kind: PodDisruptionBudget metadata: name: my-pdb spec: minAvailable: 2 selector: matchLabels: name: my-pod unhealthyPodEvictionPolicy: AlwaysAllow 1 1 Choose either IfHealthyBudget or AlwaysAllow as the unhealthy pod eviction policy. The default is IfHealthyBudget when the unhealthyPodEvictionPolicy field is empty. Create the PodDisruptionBudget object by running the following command: USD oc create -f pod-disruption-budget.yaml With a PDB that has the AlwaysAllow unhealthy pod eviction policy set, you can now drain nodes and evict the pods for a malfunctioning application guarded by this PDB.
