Chapter 5. Installing a cluster on IBM Cloud VPC with network customizations In OpenShift Container Platform version 4.13, you can install a cluster with a customized network configuration on infrastructure that the installation program provisions on IBM Cloud VPC. By customizing your network configuration, your cluster can coexist with existing IP address allocations in your environment and integrate with existing MTU and VXLAN configurations. To customize the installation, you modify parameters in the install-config.yaml file before you install the cluster. You must set most of the network configuration parameters during installation, and you can modify only kubeProxy configuration parameters in a running cluster. 5.1. Prerequisites You reviewed details about the OpenShift Container Platform installation and update processes. You read the documentation on selecting a cluster installation method and preparing it for users . You configured an IBM Cloud account to host the cluster. If you use a firewall, you configured it to allow the sites that your cluster requires access to. You configured the ccoctl utility before you installed the cluster. For more information, see Configuring IAM for IBM Cloud VPC . 5.2. Internet access for OpenShift Container Platform In OpenShift Container Platform 4.13, you require access to the internet to install your cluster. You must have internet access to: Access OpenShift Cluster Manager Hybrid Cloud Console to download the installation program and perform subscription management. If the cluster has internet access and you do not disable Telemetry, that service automatically entitles your cluster. Access Quay.io to obtain the packages that are required to install your cluster. Obtain the packages that are required to perform cluster updates. Important If your cluster cannot have direct internet access, you can perform a restricted network installation on some types of infrastructure that you provision. During that process, you download the required content and use it to populate a mirror registry with the installation packages. With some installation types, the environment that you install your cluster in will not require internet access. Before you update the cluster, you update the content of the mirror registry. 5.3. Generating a key pair for cluster node SSH access During an OpenShift Container Platform installation, you can provide an SSH public key to the installation program. The key is passed to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) nodes through their Ignition config files and is used to authenticate SSH access to the nodes. The key is added to the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys list for the core user on each node, which enables password-less authentication. After the key is passed to the nodes, you can use the key pair to SSH in to the RHCOS nodes as the user core . To access the nodes through SSH, the private key identity must be managed by SSH for your local user. If you want to SSH in to your cluster nodes to perform installation debugging or disaster recovery, you must provide the SSH public key during the installation process. The ./openshift-install gather command also requires the SSH public key to be in place on the cluster nodes. Important Do not skip this procedure in production environments, where disaster recovery and debugging is required. Note You must use a local key, not one that you configured with platform-specific approaches such as AWS key pairs . Procedure If you do not have an existing SSH key pair on your local machine to use for authentication onto your cluster nodes, create one. For example, on a computer that uses a Linux operating system, run the following command: USD ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -N '' -f <path>/<file_name> 1 1 Specify the path and file name, such as ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 , of the new SSH key. If you have an existing key pair, ensure your public key is in the your ~/.ssh directory. View the public SSH key: USD cat <path>/<file_name>.pub For example, run the following to view the ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub public key: USD cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub Add the SSH private key identity to the SSH agent for your local user, if it has not already been added. SSH agent management of the key is required for password-less SSH authentication onto your cluster nodes, or if you want to use the ./openshift-install gather command. Note On some distributions, default SSH private key identities such as ~/.ssh/id_rsa and ~/.ssh/id_dsa are managed automatically. If the ssh-agent process is not already running for your local user, start it as a background task: USD eval "USD(ssh-agent -s)" Example output Agent pid 31874 Add your SSH private key to the ssh-agent : USD ssh-add <path>/<file_name> 1 1 Specify the path and file name for your SSH private key, such as ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 Example output Identity added: /home/<you>/<path>/<file_name> (<computer_name>) steps When you install OpenShift Container Platform, provide the SSH public key to the installation program. 5.4. Obtaining the installation program Before you install OpenShift Container Platform, download the installation file on the host you are using for installation. Prerequisites You have a computer that runs Linux or macOS, with 500 MB of local disk space. Procedure Access the Infrastructure Provider page on the OpenShift Cluster Manager site. If you have a Red Hat account, log in with your credentials. If you do not, create an account. Select your infrastructure provider. Navigate to the page for your installation type, download the installation program that corresponds with your host operating system and architecture, and place the file in the directory where you will store the installation configuration files. Important The installation program creates several files on the computer that you use to install your cluster. You must keep the installation program and the files that the installation program creates after you finish installing the cluster. Both files are required to delete the cluster. Important Deleting the files created by the installation program does not remove your cluster, even if the cluster failed during installation. To remove your cluster, complete the OpenShift Container Platform uninstallation procedures for your specific cloud provider. Extract the installation program. For example, on a computer that uses a Linux operating system, run the following command: USD tar -xvf openshift-install-linux.tar.gz Download your installation pull secret from the Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager . This pull secret allows you to authenticate with the services that are provided by the included authorities, including Quay.io, which serves the container images for OpenShift Container Platform components. 5.5. Exporting the API key You must set the API key you created as a global variable; the installation program ingests the variable during startup to set the API key. Prerequisites You have created either a user API key or service ID API key for your IBM Cloud account. Procedure Export your API key for your account as a global variable: USD export IC_API_KEY=<api_key> Important You must set the variable name exactly as specified; the installation program expects the variable name to be present during startup. 5.6. Creating the installation configuration file You can customize the OpenShift Container Platform cluster you install on IBM Cloud. Prerequisites Obtain the OpenShift Container Platform installation program and the pull secret for your cluster. Obtain service principal permissions at the subscription level. Procedure Create the install-config.yaml file. Change to the directory that contains the installation program and run the following command: USD ./openshift-install create install-config --dir <installation_directory> 1 1 For <installation_directory> , specify the directory name to store the files that the installation program creates. When specifying the directory: Verify that the directory has the execute permission. This permission is required to run Terraform binaries under the installation directory. Use an empty directory. Some installation assets, such as bootstrap X.509 certificates, have short expiration intervals, therefore you must not reuse an installation directory. If you want to reuse individual files from another cluster installation, you can copy them into your directory. However, the file names for the installation assets might change between releases. Use caution when copying installation files from an earlier OpenShift Container Platform version. Note Always delete the ~/.powervs directory to avoid reusing a stale configuration. Run the following command: USD rm -rf ~/.powervs At the prompts, provide the configuration details for your cloud: Optional: Select an SSH key to use to access your cluster machines. Note For production OpenShift Container Platform clusters on which you want to perform installation debugging or disaster recovery, specify an SSH key that your ssh-agent process uses. Select ibmcloud as the platform to target. Select the region to deploy the cluster to. Select the base domain to deploy the cluster to. The base domain corresponds to the public DNS zone that you created for your cluster. Enter a descriptive name for your cluster. Paste the pull secret from the Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager . Modify the install-config.yaml file. You can find more information about the available parameters in the "Installation configuration parameters" section. Back up the install-config.yaml file so that you can use it to install multiple clusters. Important The install-config.yaml file is consumed during the installation process. If you want to reuse the file, you must back it up now. 5.6.1. Installation configuration parameters Before you deploy an OpenShift Container Platform cluster, you provide parameter values to describe your account on the cloud platform that hosts your cluster and optionally customize your cluster's platform. When you create the install-config.yaml installation configuration file, you provide values for the required parameters through the command line. If you customize your cluster, you can modify the install-config.yaml file to provide more details about the platform. Note After installation, you cannot modify these parameters in the install-config.yaml file. 5.6.1.1. Required configuration parameters Required installation configuration parameters are described in the following table: Table 5.1. Required parameters Parameter Description Values apiVersion The API version for the install-config.yaml content. The current version is v1 . The installation program may also support older API versions. String baseDomain The base domain of your cloud provider. The base domain is used to create routes to your OpenShift Container Platform cluster components. The full DNS name for your cluster is a combination of the baseDomain and metadata.name parameter values that uses the <metadata.name>.<baseDomain> format. A fully-qualified domain or subdomain name, such as example.com . metadata Kubernetes resource ObjectMeta , from which only the name parameter is consumed.

Network configuration parameters You can customize your installation configuration based on the requirements of your existing network infrastructure. For example, you can expand the IP address block for the cluster network or provide different IP address blocks than the defaults. Only IPv4 addresses are supported. Note Globalnet is not supported with Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation disaster recovery solutions. For regional disaster recovery scenarios, ensure that you use a nonoverlapping range of private IP addresses for the cluster and service networks in each cluster. Table 5.2. Network parameters Parameter Description Values networking The configuration for the cluster network. Object Note You cannot modify parameters specified by the networking object after installation. networking.networkType The Red Hat OpenShift Networking network plugin to install.

For more information about CCO modes, see the "Managing cloud provider credentials" entry in the Authentication and authorization content. 5.6.1.4. Additional IBM Cloud VPC configuration parameters Additional IBM Cloud VPC configuration parameters are described in the following table: Table 5.4. Additional IBM Cloud VPC parameters Parameter Description Values platform.ibmcloud.resourceGroupName The name of an existing resource group. By default, an installer-provisioned VPC and cluster resources are placed in this resource group. When not specified, the installation program creates the resource group for the cluster. If you are deploying the cluster into an existing VPC, the installer-provisioned cluster resources are placed in this resource group. When not specified, the installation program creates the resource group for the cluster. The VPC resources that you have provisioned must exist in a resource group that you specify using the networkResourceGroupName parameter. In either case, this resource group must only be used for a single cluster installation, as the cluster components assume ownership of all of the resources in the resource group. [ 1 ] String, for example existing_resource_group . platform.ibmcloud.networkResourceGroupName The name of an existing resource group. This resource contains the existing VPC and subnets to which the cluster will be deployed. This parameter is required when deploying the cluster to a VPC that you have provisioned. String, for example existing_network_resource_group . platform.ibmcloud.dedicatedHosts.profile The new dedicated host to create. If you specify a value for platform.ibmcloud.dedicatedHosts.name , this parameter is not required. Valid IBM Cloud VPC dedicated host profile, such as cx2-host-152x304 . [ 2 ] platform.ibmcloud.dedicatedHosts.name An existing dedicated host. If you specify a value for platform.ibmcloud.dedicatedHosts.profile , this parameter is not required. String, for example my-dedicated-host-name . platform.ibmcloud.type The instance type for all IBM Cloud VPC machines. Valid IBM Cloud VPC instance type, such as bx2-8x32 . [ 2 ] platform.ibmcloud.vpcName The name of the existing VPC that you want to deploy your cluster to. String. platform.ibmcloud.controlPlaneSubnets The name(s) of the existing subnet(s) in your VPC that you want to deploy your control plane machines to. Specify a subnet for each availability zone. String array platform.ibmcloud.computeSubnets The name(s) of the existing subnet(s) in your VPC that you want to deploy your compute machines to. Specify a subnet for each availability zone. Subnet IDs are not supported. String array Whether you define an existing resource group, or if the installer creates one, determines how the resource group is treated when the cluster is uninstalled. If you define a resource group, the installer removes all of the installer-provisioned resources, but leaves the resource group alone; if a resource group is created as part of the installation, the installer removes all of the installer-provisioned resources and the resource group. To determine which profile best meets your needs, see Instance Profiles in the IBM documentation. 5.6.2. Minimum resource requirements for cluster installation Each cluster machine must meet the following minimum requirements: Table 5.5. Minimum resource requirements Machine Operating System vCPU Virtual RAM Storage Input/Output Per Second (IOPS) Bootstrap RHCOS 4 16 GB 100 GB 300 Control plane RHCOS 4 16 GB 100 GB 300 Compute RHCOS 2 8 GB 100 GB 300 Note As of OpenShift Container Platform version 4.13, RHCOS is based on RHEL version 9.2, which updates the micro-architecture requirements. The following list contains the minimum instruction set architectures (ISA) that each architecture requires: x86-64 architecture requires x86-64-v2 ISA ARM64 architecture requires ARMv8.0-A ISA IBM Power architecture requires Power 9 ISA s390x architecture requires z14 ISA For more information, see RHEL Architectures . If an instance type for your platform meets the minimum requirements for cluster machines, it is supported to use in OpenShift Container Platform. Additional resources Optimizing storage 5.6.3. Sample customized install-config.yaml file for IBM Cloud VPC You can customize the install-config.yaml file to specify more details about your OpenShift Container Platform cluster's platform or modify the values of the required parameters. Important This sample YAML file is provided for reference only. You must obtain your install-config.yaml file by using the installation program and then modify it. apiVersion: v1 baseDomain: example.com 1 controlPlane: 2 3 hyperthreading: Enabled 4 name: master platform: ibmcloud: {} replicas: 3 compute: 5 6 - hyperthreading: Enabled 7 name: worker platform: ibmcloud: {} replicas: 3 metadata: name: test-cluster 8 networking: 9 clusterNetwork: - cidr: 10.128.0.0/14 hostPrefix: 23 machineNetwork: - cidr: 10.0.0.0/16 networkType: OVNKubernetes 10 serviceNetwork: - 172.30.0.0/16 platform: ibmcloud: region: us-south 11 credentialsMode: Manual publish: External pullSecret: '{"auths": ...}' 12 fips: false 13 sshKey: ssh-ed25519 AAAA... 14 1 8 11 12 Required. The installation program prompts you for this value. 2 5 9 If you do not provide these parameters and values, the installation program provides the default value. 3 6 The controlPlane section is a single mapping, but the compute section is a sequence of mappings. To meet the requirements of the different data structures, the first line of the compute section must begin with a hyphen, - , and the first line of the controlPlane section must not. Only one control plane pool is used. 4 7 Enables or disables simultaneous multithreading, also known as Hyper-Threading. By default, simultaneous multithreading is enabled to increase the performance of your machines' cores. You can disable it by setting the parameter value to Disabled . If you disable simultaneous multithreading in some cluster machines, you must disable it in all cluster machines. Important If you disable simultaneous multithreading, ensure that your capacity planning accounts for the dramatically decreased machine performance. Use larger machine types, such as n1-standard-8 , for your machines if you disable simultaneous multithreading. 10 The cluster network plugin to install. The supported values are OVNKubernetes and OpenShiftSDN . The default value is OVNKubernetes . 13 Enables or disables FIPS mode. By default, FIPS mode is not enabled. Important OpenShift Container Platform 4.13 is based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 9.2. RHEL 9.2 cryptographic modules have not yet been submitted for FIPS validation. For more information, see "About this release" in the 4.13 OpenShift Container Platform Release Notes . 14 Optional: provide the sshKey value that you use to access the machines in your cluster. Note For production OpenShift Container Platform clusters on which you want to perform installation debugging or disaster recovery, specify an SSH key that your ssh-agent process uses. 5.6.4. Configuring the cluster-wide proxy during installation Production environments can deny direct access to the internet and instead have an HTTP or HTTPS proxy available. You can configure a new OpenShift Container Platform cluster to use a proxy by configuring the proxy settings in the install-config.yaml file. Prerequisites You have an existing install-config.yaml file. You reviewed the sites that your cluster requires access to and determined whether any of them need to bypass the proxy. By default, all cluster egress traffic is proxied, including calls to hosting cloud provider APIs. You added sites to the Proxy object's spec.noProxy field to bypass the proxy if necessary. Note The Proxy object status.noProxy field is populated with the values of the networking.machineNetwork[].cidr , networking.clusterNetwork[].cidr , and networking.serviceNetwork[] fields from your installation configuration. For installations on Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Microsoft Azure, and Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP), the Proxy object status.noProxy field is also populated with the instance metadata endpoint ( 169.254.169.254 ). Procedure Edit your install-config.yaml file and add the proxy settings. For example: apiVersion: v1 baseDomain: my.domain.com proxy: httpProxy: http://<username>:<pswd>@<ip>:<port> 1 httpsProxy: https://<username>:<pswd>@<ip>:<port> 2 noProxy: example.com 3 additionalTrustBundle: | 4 -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- <MY_TRUSTED_CA_CERT> -----END CERTIFICATE----- additionalTrustBundlePolicy: <policy_to_add_additionalTrustBundle> 5 1 A proxy URL to use for creating HTTP connections outside the cluster. The URL scheme must be http . 2 A proxy URL to use for creating HTTPS connections outside the cluster. 3 A comma-separated list of destination domain names, IP addresses, or other network CIDRs to exclude from proxying. Preface a domain with . to match subdomains only. For example, .y.com matches x.y.com , but not y.com . Use * to bypass the proxy for all destinations. 4 If provided, the installation program generates a config map that is named user-ca-bundle in the openshift-config namespace that contains one or more additional CA certificates that are required for proxying HTTPS connections. The Cluster Network Operator then creates a trusted-ca-bundle config map that merges these contents with the Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) trust bundle, and this config map is referenced in the trustedCA field of the Proxy object. The additionalTrustBundle field is required unless the proxy's identity certificate is signed by an authority from the RHCOS trust bundle. 5 Optional: The policy to determine the configuration of the Proxy object to reference the user-ca-bundle config map in the trustedCA field. The allowed values are Proxyonly and Always . Use Proxyonly to reference the user-ca-bundle config map only when http/https proxy is configured. Use Always to always reference the user-ca-bundle config map. The default value is Proxyonly . Note The installation program does not support the proxy readinessEndpoints field. Note If the installer times out, restart and then complete the deployment by using the wait-for command of the installer. For example: USD ./openshift-install wait-for install-complete --log-level debug Save the file and reference it when installing OpenShift Container Platform. The installation program creates a cluster-wide proxy that is named cluster that uses the proxy settings in the provided install-config.yaml file. If no proxy settings are provided, a cluster Proxy object is still created, but it will have a nil spec . Note Only the Proxy object named cluster is supported, and no additional proxies can be created. 5.7. Manually creating IAM Installing the cluster requires that the Cloud Credential Operator (CCO) operate in manual mode. While the installation program configures the CCO for manual mode, you must specify the identity and access management secrets for you cloud provider. You can use the Cloud Credential Operator (CCO) utility ( ccoctl ) to create the required IBM Cloud VPC resources. Prerequisites You have configured the ccoctl binary. You have an existing install-config.yaml file. Procedure Edit the install-config.yaml configuration file so that it contains the credentialsMode parameter set to Manual . Example install-config.yaml configuration file apiVersion: v1 baseDomain: cluster1.example.com credentialsMode: Manual 1 compute: - architecture: amd64 hyperthreading: Enabled 1 This line is added to set the credentialsMode parameter to Manual . To generate the manifests, run the following command from the directory that contains the installation program: USD ./openshift-install create manifests --dir <installation_directory> From the directory that contains the installation program, obtain the OpenShift Container Platform release image that your openshift-install binary is built to use: USD RELEASE_IMAGE=USD(./openshift-install version | awk '/release image/ {print USD3}') Extract the CredentialsRequest objects from the OpenShift Container Platform release image: USD oc adm release extract \ --from=USDRELEASE_IMAGE \ --credentials-requests \ --cloud=<provider_name> \ 1 --to=<path_to_credential_requests_directory> 2 1 The name of the provider. For example: ibmcloud or powervs . 2 The directory where the credential requests will be stored. This command creates a YAML file for each CredentialsRequest object. Sample CredentialsRequest object apiVersion: cloudcredential.openshift.io/v1 kind: CredentialsRequest metadata: labels: controller-tools.k8s.io: "1.0" name: openshift-image-registry-ibmcos namespace: openshift-cloud-credential-operator spec: secretRef: name: installer-cloud-credentials namespace: openshift-image-registry providerSpec: apiVersion: cloudcredential.openshift.io/v1 kind: IBMCloudProviderSpec policies: - attributes: - name: serviceName value: cloud-object-storage roles: - crn:v1:bluemix:public:iam::::role:Viewer - crn:v1:bluemix:public:iam::::role:Operator - crn:v1:bluemix:public:iam::::role:Editor - crn:v1:bluemix:public:iam::::serviceRole:Reader - crn:v1:bluemix:public:iam::::serviceRole:Writer - attributes: - name: resourceType value: resource-group roles: - crn:v1:bluemix:public:iam::::role:Viewer If your cluster uses cluster capabilities to disable one or more optional components, delete the CredentialsRequest custom resources for any disabled components.

Create the service ID for each credential request, assign the policies defined, create an API key, and generate the secret: USD ccoctl ibmcloud create-service-id \ --credentials-requests-dir <path_to_credential_requests_directory> \ 1 --name <cluster_name> \ 2 --output-dir <installation_directory> \ --resource-group-name <resource_group_name> 3 1 The directory where the credential requests are stored. 2 The name of the OpenShift Container Platform cluster. 3 Optional: The name of the resource group used for scoping the access policies. Note If your cluster uses Technology Preview features that are enabled by the TechPreviewNoUpgrade feature set, you must include the --enable-tech-preview parameter. If an incorrect resource group name is provided, the installation fails during the bootstrap phase. To find the correct resource group name, run the following command: USD grep resourceGroupName <installation_directory>/manifests/cluster-infrastructure-02-config.yml Verification Ensure that the appropriate secrets were generated in your cluster's manifests directory. 5.8. Network configuration phases There are two phases prior to OpenShift Container Platform installation where you can customize the network configuration. Phase 1 You can customize the following network-related fields in the install-config.yaml file before you create the manifest files: networking.networkType networking.clusterNetwork networking.serviceNetwork networking.machineNetwork For more information, see "Installation configuration parameters". Note Set the networking.machineNetwork to match the Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) where the preferred subnet is located. Important The CIDR range 172.17.0.0/16 is reserved by libVirt . You cannot use any other CIDR range that overlaps with the 172.17.0.0/16 CIDR range for networks in your cluster. Phase 2 After creating the manifest files by running openshift-install create manifests , you can define a customized Cluster Network Operator manifest with only the fields you want to modify. You can use the manifest to specify an advanced network configuration. During phase 2, you cannot override the values that you specified in phase 1 in the install-config.yaml file. However, you can customize the network plugin during phase 2. 5.9. Specifying advanced network configuration You can use advanced network configuration for your network plugin to integrate your cluster into your existing network environment. You can specify advanced network configuration only before you install the cluster. Important Customizing your network configuration by modifying the OpenShift Container Platform manifest files created by the installation program is not supported. Applying a manifest file that you create, as in the following procedure, is supported. Prerequisites You have created the install-config.yaml file and completed any modifications to it. Procedure Change to the directory that contains the installation program and create the manifests: USD ./openshift-install create manifests --dir <installation_directory> 1 1 <installation_directory> specifies the name of the directory that contains the install-config.yaml file for your cluster. Create a stub manifest file for the advanced network configuration that is named cluster-network-03-config.yml in the <installation_directory>/manifests/ directory: apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1 kind: Network metadata: name: cluster spec: Specify the advanced network configuration for your cluster in the cluster-network-03-config.yml file, such as in the following example: Specify a different VXLAN port for the OpenShift SDN network provider apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1 kind: Network metadata: name: cluster spec: defaultNetwork: openshiftSDNConfig: vxlanPort: 4800 Optional: Back up the manifests/cluster-network-03-config.yml file. The installation program consumes the manifests/ directory when you create the Ignition config files. 5.10. Cluster Network Operator configuration The configuration for the cluster network is specified as part of the Cluster Network Operator (CNO) configuration and stored in a custom resource (CR) object that is named cluster . The CR specifies the fields for the Network API in the operator.openshift.io API group. The CNO configuration inherits the following fields during cluster installation from the Network API in the Network.config.openshift.io API group and these fields cannot be changed: clusterNetwork IP address pools from which pod IP addresses are allocated. serviceNetwork IP address pool for services. defaultNetwork.type Cluster network plugin, such as OpenShift SDN or OVN-Kubernetes. You can specify the cluster network plugin configuration for your cluster by setting the fields for the defaultNetwork object in the CNO object named cluster . 5.10.1. Cluster Network Operator configuration object The fields for the Cluster Network Operator (CNO) are described in the following table: Table 5.6. Cluster Network Operator configuration object Field Type Description metadata.name string The name of the CNO object. This name is always cluster . spec.clusterNetwork array A list specifying the blocks of IP addresses from which pod IP addresses are allocated and the subnet prefix length assigned to each individual node in the cluster. For example: spec: clusterNetwork: - cidr: 10.128.0.0/19 hostPrefix: 23 - cidr: 10.128.32.0/19 hostPrefix: 23 You can customize this field only in the install-config.yaml file before you create the manifests. The value is read-only in the manifest file. spec.serviceNetwork array A block of IP addresses for services. The OpenShift SDN and OVN-Kubernetes network plugins support only a single IP address block for the service network. For example: spec: serviceNetwork: - 172.30.0.0/14 You can customize this field only in the install-config.yaml file before you create the manifests. The value is read-only in the manifest file. spec.defaultNetwork object Configures the network plugin for the cluster network. spec.kubeProxyConfig object The fields for this object specify the kube-proxy configuration. If you are using the OVN-Kubernetes cluster network plugin, the kube-proxy configuration has no effect. Important For a cluster that needs to deploy objects across multiple networks, ensure that you specify the same value for the clusterNetwork.hostPrefix parameter for each network type that is defined in the install-config.yaml file. Setting a different value for each clusterNetwork.hostPrefix parameter can impact the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin, where the plugin cannot effectively route object traffic among different nodes. defaultNetwork object configuration The values for the defaultNetwork object are defined in the following table: Table 5.7. defaultNetwork object Field Type Description type string Either OpenShiftSDN or OVNKubernetes . The Red Hat OpenShift Networking network plugin is selected during installation. This value cannot be changed after cluster installation. Note OpenShift Container Platform uses the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin by default. openshiftSDNConfig object This object is only valid for the OpenShift SDN network plugin. ovnKubernetesConfig object This object is only valid for the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin. Configuration for the OpenShift SDN network plugin The following table describes the configuration fields for the OpenShift SDN network plugin: Table 5.8. openshiftSDNConfig object Field Type Description mode string Configures the network isolation mode for OpenShift SDN. The default value is NetworkPolicy . The values Multitenant and Subnet are available for backwards compatibility with OpenShift Container Platform 3.x but are not recommended. This value cannot be changed after cluster installation. mtu integer The maximum transmission unit (MTU) for the VXLAN overlay network. This is detected automatically based on the MTU of the primary network interface. You do not normally need to override the detected MTU. If the auto-detected value is not what you expect it to be, confirm that the MTU on the primary network interface on your nodes is correct. You cannot use this option to change the MTU value of the primary network interface on the nodes. If your cluster requires different MTU values for different nodes, you must set this value to 50 less than the lowest MTU value in your cluster. For example, if some nodes in your cluster have an MTU of 9001 , and some have an MTU of 1500 , you must set this value to 1450 . This value cannot be changed after cluster installation. vxlanPort integer The port to use for all VXLAN packets. The default value is 4789 . This value cannot be changed after cluster installation. If you are running in a virtualized environment with existing nodes that are part of another VXLAN network, then you might be required to change this. For example, when running an OpenShift SDN overlay on top of VMware NSX-T, you must select an alternate port for the VXLAN, because both SDNs use the same default VXLAN port number. On Amazon Web Services (AWS), you can select an alternate port for the VXLAN between port 9000 and port 9999 . Example OpenShift SDN configuration defaultNetwork: type: OpenShiftSDN openshiftSDNConfig: mode: NetworkPolicy mtu: 1450 vxlanPort: 4789 Configuration for the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin The following table describes the configuration fields for the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin: Table 5.9. ovnKubernetesConfig object Field Type Description mtu integer The maximum transmission unit (MTU) for the Geneve (Generic Network Virtualization Encapsulation) overlay network. This is detected automatically based on the MTU of the primary network interface. You do not normally need to override the detected MTU. If the auto-detected value is not what you expect it to be, confirm that the MTU on the primary network interface on your nodes is correct. You cannot use this option to change the MTU value of the primary network interface on the nodes. If your cluster requires different MTU values for different nodes, you must set this value to 100 less than the lowest MTU value in your cluster. For example, if some nodes in your cluster have an MTU of 9001 , and some have an MTU of 1500 , you must set this value to 1400 . genevePort integer The port to use for all Geneve packets. The default value is 6081 . This value cannot be changed after cluster installation. policyAuditConfig object Specify a configuration object for customizing network policy audit logging. If unset, the defaults audit log settings are used. gatewayConfig object Optional: Specify a configuration object for customizing how egress traffic is sent to the node gateway. Note While migrating egress traffic, you can expect some disruption to workloads and service traffic until the Cluster Network Operator (CNO) successfully rolls out the changes. v4InternalSubnet If your existing network infrastructure overlaps with the 100.64.0.0/16 IPv4 subnet, you can specify a different IP address range for internal use by OVN-Kubernetes. You must ensure that the IP address range does not overlap with any other subnet used by your OpenShift Container Platform installation. The IP address range must be larger than the maximum number of nodes that can be added to the cluster. For example, if the clusterNetwork.cidr value is 10.128.0.0/14 and the clusterNetwork.hostPrefix value is /23 , then the maximum number of nodes is 2^(23-14)=512 . This field cannot be changed after installation. The default value is 100.64.0.0/16 . v6InternalSubnet If your existing network infrastructure overlaps with the fd98::/48 IPv6 subnet, you can specify a different IP address range for internal use by OVN-Kubernetes. You must ensure that the IP address range does not overlap with any other subnet used by your OpenShift Container Platform installation. The IP address range must be larger than the maximum number of nodes that can be added to the cluster. This field cannot be changed after installation. The default value is fd98::/48 . Note IPsec for the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin is not supported when installing a cluster on IBM Cloud. Table 5.10. policyAuditConfig object Field Type Description rateLimit integer The maximum number of messages to generate every second per node. The default value is 20 messages per second. maxFileSize integer The maximum size for the audit log in bytes. The default value is 50000000 or 50 MB. maxLogFiles integer The maximum number of log files that are retained. destination string One of the following additional audit log targets: libc The libc syslog() function of the journald process on the host. udp:<host>:<port> A syslog server. Replace <host>:<port> with the host and port of the syslog server. unix:<file> A Unix Domain Socket file specified by <file> . null Do not send the audit logs to any additional target. syslogFacility string The syslog facility, such as kern , as defined by RFC5424. The default value is local0 . Table 5.11. gatewayConfig object Field Type Description routingViaHost boolean Set this field to true to send egress traffic from pods to the host networking stack. For highly-specialized installations and applications that rely on manually configured routes in the kernel routing table, you might want to route egress traffic to the host networking stack. By default, egress traffic is processed in OVN to exit the cluster and is not affected by specialized routes in the kernel routing table. The default value is false . This field has an interaction with the Open vSwitch hardware offloading feature. If you set this field to true , you do not receive the performance benefits of the offloading because egress traffic is processed by the host networking stack. Example OVN-Kubernetes configuration with IPSec enabled defaultNetwork: type: OVNKubernetes ovnKubernetesConfig: mtu: 1400 genevePort: 6081 kubeProxyConfig object configuration The values for the kubeProxyConfig object are defined in the following table: Table 5.12. kubeProxyConfig object Field Type Description iptablesSyncPeriod string The refresh period for iptables rules. The default value is 30s . Valid suffixes include s , m , and h and are described in the Go time package documentation. Note Because of performance improvements introduced in OpenShift Container Platform 4.3 and greater, adjusting the iptablesSyncPeriod parameter is no longer necessary. proxyArguments.iptables-min-sync-period array The minimum duration before refreshing iptables rules. This field ensures that the refresh does not happen too frequently. Valid suffixes include s , m , and h and are described in the Go time package . The default value is: kubeProxyConfig: proxyArguments: iptables-min-sync-period: - 0s 5.11. Deploying the cluster You can install OpenShift Container Platform on a compatible cloud platform. Important You can run the create cluster command of the installation program only once, during initial installation. Prerequisites Configure an account with the cloud platform that hosts your cluster. Obtain the OpenShift Container Platform installation program and the pull secret for your cluster. Verify the cloud provider account on your host has the correct permissions to deploy the cluster. An account with incorrect permissions causes the installation process to fail with an error message that displays the missing permissions. Procedure Change to the directory that contains the installation program and initialize the cluster deployment: USD ./openshift-install create cluster --dir <installation_directory> \ 1 --log-level=info 2 1 For <installation_directory> , specify the location of your customized ./install-config.yaml file. 2 To view different installation details, specify warn , debug , or error instead of info . Verification When the cluster deployment completes successfully: The terminal displays directions for accessing your cluster, including a link to the web console and credentials for the kubeadmin user. Credential information also outputs to <installation_directory>/.openshift_install.log . Important Do not delete the installation program or the files that the installation program creates. Both are required to delete the cluster. Example output ... INFO Install complete! INFO To access the cluster as the system:admin user when using 'oc', run 'export KUBECONFIG=/home/myuser/install_dir/auth/kubeconfig' INFO Access the OpenShift web-console here: https://console-openshift-console.apps.mycluster.example.com INFO Login to the console with user: "kubeadmin", and password: "password" INFO Time elapsed: 36m22s Important The Ignition config files that the installation program generates contain certificates that expire after 24 hours, which are then renewed at that time. If the cluster is shut down before renewing the certificates and the cluster is later restarted after the 24 hours have elapsed, the cluster automatically recovers the expired certificates. The exception is that you must manually approve the pending node-bootstrapper certificate signing requests (CSRs) to recover kubelet certificates. See the documentation for Recovering from expired control plane certificates for more information. It is recommended that you use Ignition config files within 12 hours after they are generated because the 24-hour certificate rotates from 16 to 22 hours after the cluster is installed. By using the Ignition config files within 12 hours, you can avoid installation failure if the certificate update runs during installation. 5.12. Installing the OpenShift CLI by downloading the binary You can install the OpenShift CLI ( oc ) to interact with OpenShift Container Platform from a command-line interface. You can install oc on Linux, Windows, or macOS. Important If you installed an earlier version of oc , you cannot use it to complete all of the commands in OpenShift Container Platform 4.13. Download and install the new version of oc . Installing the OpenShift CLI on Linux You can install the OpenShift CLI ( oc ) binary on Linux by using the following procedure. Procedure Navigate to the OpenShift Container Platform downloads page on the Red Hat Customer Portal. Select the architecture from the Product Variant drop-down list. Select the appropriate version from the Version drop-down list. Click Download Now to the OpenShift v4.13 Linux Client entry and save the file. Unpack the archive: USD tar xvf <file> Place the oc binary in a directory that is on your PATH . To check your PATH , execute the following command: USD echo USDPATH Verification After you install the OpenShift CLI, it is available using the oc command: USD oc <command> Installing the OpenShift CLI on Windows You can install the OpenShift CLI ( oc ) binary on Windows by using the following procedure.

Move the oc binary to a directory on your PATH. To check your PATH , open a terminal and execute the following command: USD echo USDPATH Verification After you install the OpenShift CLI, it is available using the oc command: USD oc <command> 5.13. Logging in to the cluster by using the CLI You can log in to your cluster as a default system user by exporting the cluster kubeconfig file. The kubeconfig file contains information about the cluster that is used by the CLI to connect a client to the correct cluster and API server. The file is specific to a cluster and is created during OpenShift Container Platform installation. Prerequisites You deployed an OpenShift Container Platform cluster. You installed the oc CLI. Procedure Export the kubeadmin credentials: USD export KUBECONFIG=<installation_directory>/auth/kubeconfig 1 1 For <installation_directory> , specify the path to the directory that you stored the installation files in. Verify you can run oc commands successfully using the exported configuration: USD oc whoami Example output system:admin Additional resources Accessing the web console 5.14. Telemetry access for OpenShift Container Platform In OpenShift Container Platform 4.13, the Telemetry service, which runs by default to provide metrics about cluster health and the success of updates, requires internet access. If your cluster is connected to the internet, Telemetry runs automatically, and your cluster is registered to OpenShift Cluster Manager Hybrid Cloud Console . After you confirm that your OpenShift Cluster Manager Hybrid Cloud Console inventory is correct, either maintained automatically by Telemetry or manually by using OpenShift Cluster Manager, use subscription watch to track your OpenShift Container Platform subscriptions at the account or multi-cluster level. Additional resources About remote health monitoring 5.15. steps Customize your cluster . If necessary, you can opt out of remote health reporting .
