Chapter 11. Managing user-provisioned infrastructure manually 11.1. Adding compute machines to clusters with user-provisioned infrastructure manually You can add compute machines to a cluster on user-provisioned infrastructure either as part of the installation process or after installation. The postinstallation process requires some of the same configuration files and parameters that were used during installation. 11.1.1. Adding compute machines to Amazon Web Services To add more compute machines to your OpenShift Container Platform cluster on Amazon Web Services (AWS), see Adding compute machines to AWS by using CloudFormation templates . 11.1.2. Adding compute machines to Microsoft Azure To add more compute machines to your OpenShift Container Platform cluster on Microsoft Azure, see Creating additional worker machines in Azure . 11.1.3. Adding compute machines to Azure Stack Hub To add more compute machines to your OpenShift Container Platform cluster on Azure Stack Hub, see Creating additional worker machines in Azure Stack Hub . 11.1.4. Adding compute machines to Google Cloud Platform To add more compute machines to your OpenShift Container Platform cluster on Google Cloud Platform (GCP), see Creating additional worker machines in GCP . 11.1.5. Adding compute machines to vSphere You can use compute machine sets to automate the creation of additional compute machines for your OpenShift Container Platform cluster on vSphere. To manually add more compute machines to your cluster, see Adding compute machines to vSphere manually . 11.1.6. Adding compute machines to bare metal To add more compute machines to your OpenShift Container Platform cluster on bare metal, see Adding compute machines to bare metal . 11.2. Adding compute machines to AWS by using CloudFormation templates You can add more compute machines to your OpenShift Container Platform cluster on Amazon Web Services (AWS) that you created by using the sample CloudFormation templates. 11.2.1. Prerequisites You installed your cluster on AWS by using the provided AWS CloudFormation templates . You have the JSON file and CloudFormation template that you used to create the compute machines during cluster installation. If you do not have these files, you must recreate them by following the instructions in the installation procedure . 11.2.2. Adding more compute machines to your AWS cluster by using CloudFormation templates You can add more compute machines to your OpenShift Container Platform cluster on Amazon Web Services (AWS) that you created by using the sample CloudFormation templates. Important The CloudFormation template creates a stack that represents one compute machine. You must create a stack for each compute machine. Note If you do not use the provided CloudFormation template to create your compute nodes, you must review the provided information and manually create the infrastructure. If your cluster does not initialize correctly, you might have to contact Red Hat support with your installation logs. Prerequisites You installed an OpenShift Container Platform cluster by using CloudFormation templates and have access to the JSON file and CloudFormation template that you used to create the compute machines during cluster installation. You installed the AWS CLI. Procedure Create another compute stack. Launch the template: USD aws cloudformation create-stack --stack-name <name> \ 1 --template-body file://<template>.yaml \ 2 --parameters file://<parameters>.json 3 1 <name> is the name for the CloudFormation stack, such as cluster-workers . You must provide the name of this stack if you remove the cluster. 2 <template> is the relative path to and name of the CloudFormation template YAML file that you saved. 3 <parameters> is the relative path to and name of the CloudFormation parameters JSON file. Confirm that the template components exist: USD aws cloudformation describe-stacks --stack-name <name> Continue to create compute stacks until you have created enough compute machines for your cluster. 11.2.3. Approving the certificate signing requests for your machines When you add machines to a cluster, two pending certificate signing requests (CSRs) are generated for each machine that you added. You must confirm that these CSRs are approved or, if necessary, approve them yourself. The client requests must be approved first, followed by the server requests. Prerequisites You added machines to your cluster. Procedure Confirm that the cluster recognizes the machines: USD oc get nodes Example output NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION master-0 Ready master 63m v1.31.3 master-1 Ready master 63m v1.31.3 master-2 Ready master 64m v1.31.3 The output lists all of the machines that you created. Note The preceding output might not include the compute nodes, also known as worker nodes, until some CSRs are approved. Review the pending CSRs and ensure that you see the client requests with the Pending or Approved status for each machine that you added to the cluster: USD oc get csr Example output NAME AGE REQUESTOR CONDITION csr-8b2br 15m system:serviceaccount:openshift-machine-config-operator:node-bootstrapper Pending csr-8vnps 15m system:serviceaccount:openshift-machine-config-operator:node-bootstrapper Pending ... In this example, two machines are joining the cluster. You might see more approved CSRs in the list. If the CSRs were not approved, after all of the pending CSRs for the machines you added are in Pending status, approve the CSRs for your cluster machines: Note Because the CSRs rotate automatically, approve your CSRs within an hour of adding the machines to the cluster. If you do not approve them within an hour, the certificates will rotate, and more than two certificates will be present for each node. You must approve all of these certificates. After the client CSR is approved, the Kubelet creates a secondary CSR for the serving certificate, which requires manual approval. Then, subsequent serving certificate renewal requests are automatically approved by the machine-approver if the Kubelet requests a new certificate with identical parameters. Note For clusters running on platforms that are not machine API enabled, such as bare metal and other user-provisioned infrastructure, you must implement a method of automatically approving the kubelet serving certificate requests (CSRs). If a request is not approved, then the oc exec , oc rsh , and oc logs commands cannot succeed, because a serving certificate is required when the API server connects to the kubelet. Any operation that contacts the Kubelet endpoint requires this certificate approval to be in place. The method must watch for new CSRs, confirm that the CSR was submitted by the node-bootstrapper service account in the system:node or system:admin groups, and confirm the identity of the node. To approve them individually, run the following command for each valid CSR: USD oc adm certificate approve <csr_name> 1 1 <csr_name> is the name of a CSR from the list of current CSRs. To approve all pending CSRs, run the following command: USD oc get csr -o go-template='{{range .items}}{{if not .status}}{{.metadata.name}}{{"\n"}}{{end}}{{end}}' | xargs --no-run-if-empty oc adm certificate approve Note Some Operators might not become available until some CSRs are approved. Now that your client requests are approved, you must review the server requests for each machine that you added to the cluster: USD oc get csr Example output NAME AGE REQUESTOR CONDITION csr-bfd72 5m26s system:node:ip-10-0-50-126.us-east-2.compute.internal Pending csr-c57lv 5m26s system:node:ip-10-0-95-157.us-east-2.compute.internal Pending ... If the remaining CSRs are not approved, and are in the Pending status, approve the CSRs for your cluster machines: To approve them individually, run the following command for each valid CSR: USD oc adm certificate approve <csr_name> 1 1 <csr_name> is the name of a CSR from the list of current CSRs. To approve all pending CSRs, run the following command: USD oc get csr -o go-template='{{range .items}}{{if not .status}}{{.metadata.name}}{{"\n"}}{{end}}{{end}}' | xargs oc adm certificate approve After all client and server CSRs have been approved, the machines have the Ready status. Verify this by running the following command: USD oc get nodes Example output NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION master-0 Ready master 73m v1.31.3 master-1 Ready master 73m v1.31.3 master-2 Ready master 74m v1.31.3 worker-0 Ready worker 11m v1.31.3 worker-1 Ready worker 11m v1.31.3 Note It can take a few minutes after approval of the server CSRs for the machines to transition to the Ready status. Additional information Certificate Signing Requests 11.3. Adding compute machines to vSphere manually You can add more compute machines to your OpenShift Container Platform cluster on VMware vSphere manually. Note You can also use compute machine sets to automate the creation of additional VMware vSphere compute machines for your cluster. 11.3.1. Prerequisites You installed a cluster on vSphere . You have installation media and Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) images that you used to create your cluster. If you do not have these files, you must obtain them by following the instructions in the installation procedure . Important If you do not have access to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) images that were used to create your cluster, you can add more compute machines to your OpenShift Container Platform cluster with newer versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) images. For instructions, see Adding new nodes to UPI cluster fails after upgrading to OpenShift 4.6+ . 11.3.2. Adding more compute machines to a cluster in vSphere You can add more compute machines to a user-provisioned OpenShift Container Platform cluster on VMware vSphere. After your vSphere template deploys in your OpenShift Container Platform cluster, you can deploy a virtual machine (VM) for a machine in that cluster. Prerequisites Obtain the base64-encoded Ignition file for your compute machines. You have access to the vSphere template that you created for your cluster. Procedure Right-click the template's name and click Clone Clone to Virtual Machine . On the Select a name and folder tab, specify a name for the VM. You might include the machine type in the name, such as compute-1 . Note Ensure that all virtual machine names across a vSphere installation are unique. On the Select a name and folder tab, select the name of the folder that you created for the cluster. On the Select a compute resource tab, select the name of a host in your data center. On the Select storage tab, select storage for your configuration and disk files. On the Select clone options tab, select Customize this virtual machine's hardware . On the Customize hardware tab, click Advanced Parameters . Add the following configuration parameter names and values by specifying data in the Attribute and Values fields. Ensure that you select the Add button for each parameter that you create. guestinfo.ignition.config.data : Paste the contents of the base64-encoded compute Ignition config file for this machine type. guestinfo.ignition.config.data.encoding : Specify base64 . disk.EnableUUID : Specify TRUE . In the Virtual Hardware panel of the Customize hardware tab, modify the specified values as required. Ensure that the amount of RAM, CPU, and disk storage meets the minimum requirements for the machine type. If many networks exist, select Add New Device > Network Adapter , and then enter your network information in the fields provided by the New Network menu item. Complete the remaining configuration steps. On clicking the Finish button, you have completed the cloning operation. From the Virtual Machines tab, right-click on your VM and then select Power Power On . steps Continue to create more compute machines for your cluster. 11.3.3. Approving the certificate signing requests for your machines When you add machines to a cluster, two pending certificate signing requests (CSRs) are generated for each machine that you added. You must confirm that these CSRs are approved or, if necessary, approve them yourself. The client requests must be approved first, followed by the server requests.

Additional information Certificate Signing Requests 11.4. Adding compute machines to bare metal You can add more compute machines to your OpenShift Container Platform cluster on bare metal. 11.4.1. Prerequisites You installed a cluster on bare metal . You have installation media and Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) images that you used to create your cluster. If you do not have these files, you must obtain them by following the instructions in the installation procedure . If a DHCP server is available for your user-provisioned infrastructure, you have added the details for the additional compute machines to your DHCP server configuration. This includes a persistent IP address, DNS server information, and a hostname for each machine. You have updated your DNS configuration to include the record name and IP address of each compute machine that you are adding. You have validated that DNS lookup and reverse DNS lookup resolve correctly. Important If you do not have access to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) images that were used to create your cluster, you can add more compute machines to your OpenShift Container Platform cluster with newer versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) images. For instructions, see Adding new nodes to UPI cluster fails after upgrading to OpenShift 4.6+ . 11.4.2. Creating Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) machines Before you add more compute machines to a cluster that you installed on bare metal infrastructure, you must create RHCOS machines for it to use. You can either use an ISO image or network PXE booting to create the machines. Note You must use the same ISO image that you used to install a cluster to deploy all new nodes in a cluster. It is recommended to use the same Ignition config file. The nodes automatically upgrade themselves on the first boot before running the workloads. You can add the nodes before or after the upgrade. 11.4.2.1. Creating RHCOS machines using an ISO image You can create more Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) compute machines for your bare metal cluster by using an ISO image to create the machines. Prerequisites Obtain the URL of the Ignition config file for the compute machines for your cluster. You uploaded this file to your HTTP server during installation. You must have the OpenShift CLI ( oc ) installed. Procedure Extract the Ignition config file from the cluster by running the following command: USD oc extract -n openshift-machine-api secret/worker-user-data-managed --keys=userData --to=- > worker.ign Upload the worker.ign Ignition config file you exported from your cluster to your HTTP server. Note the URLs of these files. You can validate that the ignition files are available on the URLs. The following example gets the Ignition config files for the compute node: USD curl -k http://<HTTP_server>/worker.ign You can access the ISO image for booting your new machine by running to following command: RHCOS_VHD_ORIGIN_URL=USD(oc -n openshift-machine-config-operator get configmap/coreos-bootimages -o jsonpath='{.data.stream}' | jq -r '.architectures.<architecture>.artifacts.metal.formats.iso.disk.location') Use the ISO file to install RHCOS on more compute machines. Use the same method that you used when you created machines before you installed the cluster: Burn the ISO image to a disk and boot it directly. Use ISO redirection with a LOM interface. Boot the RHCOS ISO image without specifying any options, or interrupting the live boot sequence. Wait for the installer to boot into a shell prompt in the RHCOS live environment. Note You can interrupt the RHCOS installation boot process to add kernel arguments. However, for this ISO procedure you must use the coreos-installer command as outlined in the following steps, instead of adding kernel arguments. Run the coreos-installer command and specify the options that meet your installation requirements. At a minimum, you must specify the URL that points to the Ignition config file for the node type, and the device that you are installing to: USD sudo coreos-installer install --ignition-url=http://<HTTP_server>/<node_type>.ign <device> --ignition-hash=sha512-<digest> 1 2 1 You must run the coreos-installer command by using sudo , because the core user does not have the required root privileges to perform the installation. 2 The --ignition-hash option is required when the Ignition config file is obtained through an HTTP URL to validate the authenticity of the Ignition config file on the cluster node. <digest> is the Ignition config file SHA512 digest obtained in a preceding step. Note If you want to provide your Ignition config files through an HTTPS server that uses TLS, you can add the internal certificate authority (CA) to the system trust store before running coreos-installer . The following example initializes a bootstrap node installation to the /dev/sda device. The Ignition config file for the bootstrap node is obtained from an HTTP web server with the IP address 192.168.1.2: USD sudo coreos-installer install --ignition-url=http://192.168.1.2:80/installation_directory/bootstrap.ign /dev/sda --ignition-hash=sha512-a5a2d43879223273c9b60af66b44202a1d1248fc01cf156c46d4a79f552b6bad47bc8cc78ddf0116e80c59d2ea9e32ba53bc807afbca581aa059311def2c3e3b Monitor the progress of the RHCOS installation on the console of the machine. Important Ensure that the installation is successful on each node before commencing with the OpenShift Container Platform installation. Observing the installation process can also help to determine the cause of RHCOS installation issues that might arise. Continue to create more compute machines for your cluster. 11.4.2.2. Creating RHCOS machines by PXE or iPXE booting You can create more Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) compute machines for your bare metal cluster by using PXE or iPXE booting. Prerequisites Obtain the URL of the Ignition config file for the compute machines for your cluster. You uploaded this file to your HTTP server during installation. Obtain the URLs of the RHCOS ISO image, compressed metal BIOS, kernel , and initramfs files that you uploaded to your HTTP server during cluster installation. You have access to the PXE booting infrastructure that you used to create the machines for your OpenShift Container Platform cluster during installation. The machines must boot from their local disks after RHCOS is installed on them. If you use UEFI, you have access to the grub.conf file that you modified during OpenShift Container Platform installation. Procedure Confirm that your PXE or iPXE installation for the RHCOS images is correct. For PXE: 1 Specify the location of the live kernel file that you uploaded to your HTTP server. 2 Specify locations of the RHCOS files that you uploaded to your HTTP server. The initrd parameter value is the location of the live initramfs file, the coreos.inst.ignition_url parameter value is the location of the worker Ignition config file, and the coreos.live.rootfs_url parameter value is the location of the live rootfs file. The coreos.inst.ignition_url and coreos.live.rootfs_url parameters only support HTTP and HTTPS. Note This configuration does not enable serial console access on machines with a graphical console. To configure a different console, add one or more console= arguments to the APPEND line. For example, add console=tty0 console=ttyS0 to set the first PC serial port as the primary console and the graphical console as a secondary console. For more information, see How does one set up a serial terminal and/or console in Red Hat Enterprise Linux? . For iPXE ( x86_64 + aarch64 ): 1 Specify the locations of the RHCOS files that you uploaded to your HTTP server. The kernel parameter value is the location of the kernel file, the initrd=main argument is needed for booting on UEFI systems, the coreos.live.rootfs_url parameter value is the location of the rootfs file, and the coreos.inst.ignition_url parameter value is the location of the worker Ignition config file. 2 If you use multiple NICs, specify a single interface in the ip option. For example, to use DHCP on a NIC that is named eno1 , set ip=eno1:dhcp . 3 Specify the location of the initramfs file that you uploaded to your HTTP server. Note This configuration does not enable serial console access on machines with a graphical console To configure a different console, add one or more console= arguments to the kernel line. For example, add console=tty0 console=ttyS0 to set the first PC serial port as the primary console and the graphical console as a secondary console. For more information, see How does one set up a serial terminal and/or console in Red Hat Enterprise Linux? and "Enabling the serial console for PXE and ISO installation" in the "Advanced RHCOS installation configuration" section. Note To network boot the CoreOS kernel on aarch64 architecture, you need to use a version of iPXE build with the IMAGE_GZIP option enabled. See IMAGE_GZIP option in iPXE . For PXE (with UEFI and GRUB as second stage) on aarch64 : 1 Specify the locations of the RHCOS files that you uploaded to your HTTP/TFTP server. The kernel parameter value is the location of the kernel file on your TFTP server. The coreos.live.rootfs_url parameter value is the location of the rootfs file, and the coreos.inst.ignition_url parameter value is the location of the worker Ignition config file on your HTTP Server. 2 If you use multiple NICs, specify a single interface in the ip option. For example, to use DHCP on a NIC that is named eno1 , set ip=eno1:dhcp . 3 Specify the location of the initramfs file that you uploaded to your TFTP server. Use the PXE or iPXE infrastructure to create the required compute machines for your cluster. 11.4.3. Approving the certificate signing requests for your machines When you add machines to a cluster, two pending certificate signing requests (CSRs) are generated for each machine that you added. You must confirm that these CSRs are approved or, if necessary, approve them yourself. The client requests must be approved first, followed by the server requests. Prerequisites You added machines to your cluster. Procedure Confirm that the cluster recognizes the machines: USD oc get nodes Example output NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION master-0 Ready master 63m v1.31.3 master-1 Ready master 63m v1.31.3 master-2 Ready master 64m v1.31.3 The output lists all of the machines that you created. Note The preceding output might not include the compute nodes, also known as worker nodes, until some CSRs are approved. Review the pending CSRs and ensure that you see the client requests with the Pending or Approved status for each machine that you added to the cluster: USD oc get csr Example output NAME AGE REQUESTOR CONDITION csr-8b2br 15m system:serviceaccount:openshift-machine-config-operator:node-bootstrapper Pending csr-8vnps 15m system:serviceaccount:openshift-machine-config-operator:node-bootstrapper Pending ... In this example, two machines are joining the cluster. You might see more approved CSRs in the list. If the CSRs were not approved, after all of the pending CSRs for the machines you added are in Pending status, approve the CSRs for your cluster machines: Note Because the CSRs rotate automatically, approve your CSRs within an hour of adding the machines to the cluster.
