Chapter 19. Installing on OpenStack 19.1. Preparing to install on OpenStack You can install OpenShift Container Platform on Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP). 19.1.1. 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 . 19.1.2. Choosing a method to install OpenShift Container Platform on OpenStack You can install OpenShift Container Platform on installer-provisioned or user-provisioned infrastructure. The default installation type uses installer-provisioned infrastructure, where the installation program provisions the underlying infrastructure for the cluster. You can also install OpenShift Container Platform on infrastructure that you provision. If you do not use infrastructure that the installation program provisions, you must manage and maintain the cluster resources yourself. See Installation process for more information about installer-provisioned and user-provisioned installation processes. 19.1.2.1. Installing a cluster on installer-provisioned infrastructure You can install a cluster on Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) infrastructure that is provisioned by the OpenShift Container Platform installation program, by using one of the following methods: Installing a cluster on OpenStack with customizations : You can install a customized cluster on RHOSP. The installation program allows for some customization to be applied at the installation stage. Many other customization options are available post-installation . Installing a cluster on OpenStack with Kuryr : You can install a customized OpenShift Container Platform cluster on RHOSP that uses Kuryr SDN. Kuryr and OpenShift Container Platform integration is primarily designed for OpenShift Container Platform clusters running on RHOSP VMs. Kuryr improves the network performance by plugging OpenShift Container Platform pods into RHOSP SDN. In addition, it provides interconnectivity between pods and RHOSP virtual instances. Installing a cluster on OpenStack in a restricted network : You can install OpenShift Container Platform on RHOSP in a restricted or disconnected network by creating an internal mirror of the installation release content. You can use this method to install a cluster that does not require an active internet connection to obtain the software components. You can also use this installation method to ensure that your clusters only use container images that satisfy your organizational controls on external content. 19.1.2.2. Installing a cluster on user-provisioned infrastructure You can install a cluster on RHOSP infrastructure that you provision, by using one of the following methods: Installing a cluster on OpenStack on your own infrastructure : You can install OpenShift Container Platform on user-provisioned RHOSP infrastructure. By using this installation method, you can integrate your cluster with existing infrastructure and modifications. For installations on user-provisioned infrastructure, you must create all RHOSP resources, like Nova servers, Neutron ports, and security groups. You can use the provided Ansible playbooks to assist with the deployment process. Installing a cluster on OpenStack with Kuryr on your own infrastructure : You can install OpenShift Container Platform on user-provisioned RHOSP infrastructure that uses Kuryr SDN. 19.1.3. Scanning RHOSP endpoints for legacy HTTPS certificates Beginning with OpenShift Container Platform 4.10, HTTPS certificates must contain subject alternative name (SAN) fields. Run the following script to scan each HTTPS endpoint in a Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) catalog for legacy certificates that only contain the CommonName field. Important OpenShift Container Platform does not check the underlying RHOSP infrastructure for legacy certificates prior to installation or updates. Use the provided script to check for these certificates yourself. Failing to update legacy certificates prior to installing or updating a cluster will result in cluster dysfunction. Prerequisites On the machine where you run the script, have the following software: Bash version 4.0 or greater grep OpenStack client jq OpenSSL version 1.1.1l or greater Populate the machine with RHOSP credentials for the target cloud. Procedure Save the following script to your machine: #!/usr/bin/env bash set -Eeuo pipefail declare catalog san catalog="USD(mktemp)" san="USD(mktemp)" readonly catalog san declare invalid=0 openstack catalog list --format json --column Name --column Endpoints \ | jq -r '.[] | .Name as USDname | .Endpoints[] | select(.interface=="public") | [USDname, .interface, .url] | join(" ")' \ | sort \ > "USDcatalog" while read -r name interface url; do # Ignore HTTP if [[ USD{url#"http://"} != "USDurl" ]]; then continue fi # Remove the schema from the URL noschema=USD{url#"https://"} # If the schema was not HTTPS, error if [[ "USDnoschema" == "USDurl" ]]; then echo "ERROR (unknown schema): USDname USDinterface USDurl" exit 2 fi # Remove the path and only keep host and port noschema="USD{noschema%%/*}" host="USD{noschema%%:*}" port="USD{noschema##*:}" # Add the port if was implicit if [[ "USDport" == "USDhost" ]]; then port='443' fi # Get the SAN fields openssl s_client -showcerts -servername "USDhost" -connect "USDhost:USDport" </dev/null 2>/dev/null \ | openssl x509 -noout -ext subjectAltName \ > "USDsan" # openssl returns the empty string if no SAN is found. # If a SAN is found, openssl is expected to return something like: # # X509v3 Subject Alternative Name: # DNS:standalone, DNS:osp1, IP Address:192.168.2.1, IP Address:10.254.1.2 if [[ "USD(grep -c "Subject Alternative Name" "USDsan" || true)" -gt 0 ]]; then echo "PASS: USDname USDinterface USDurl" else invalid=USD((invalid+1)) echo "INVALID: USDname USDinterface USDurl" fi done < "USDcatalog" # clean up temporary files rm "USDcatalog" "USDsan" if [[ USDinvalid -gt 0 ]]; then echo "USD{invalid} legacy certificates were detected. Update your certificates to include a SAN field." exit 1 else echo "All HTTPS certificates for this cloud are valid." fi Run the script. Replace any certificates that the script reports as INVALID with certificates that contain SAN fields. Important You must replace all legacy HTTPS certificates before you install OpenShift Container Platform 4.10 or update a cluster to that version. Legacy certificates will be rejected with the following message: x509: certificate relies on legacy Common Name field, use SANs instead 19.1.3.1. Scanning RHOSP endpoints for legacy HTTPS certificates manually Beginning with OpenShift Container Platform 4.10, HTTPS certificates must contain subject alternative name (SAN) fields. If you do not have access to the prerequisite tools that are listed in "Scanning RHOSP endpoints for legacy HTTPS certificates", perform the following steps to scan each HTTPS endpoint in a Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) catalog for legacy certificates that only contain the CommonName field. Important OpenShift Container Platform does not check the underlying RHOSP infrastructure for legacy certificates prior to installation or updates. Use the following steps to check for these certificates yourself. Failing to update legacy certificates prior to installing or updating a cluster will result in cluster dysfunction. Procedure On a command line, run the following command to view the URL of RHOSP public endpoints: USD openstack catalog list Record the URL for each HTTPS endpoint that the command returns. For each public endpoint, note the host and the port. Tip Determine the host of an endpoint by removing the scheme, the port, and the path. For each endpoint, run the following commands to extract the SAN field of the certificate: Set a host variable: USD host=<host_name> Set a port variable: USD port=<port_number> If the URL of the endpoint does not have a port, use the value 443 . Retrieve the SAN field of the certificate: USD openssl s_client -showcerts -servername "USDhost" -connect "USDhost:USDport" </dev/null 2>/dev/null \ | openssl x509 -noout -ext subjectAltName Example output X509v3 Subject Alternative Name: DNS:your.host.example.net For each endpoint, look for output that resembles the example. If there is no output for an endpoint, the certificate of that endpoint is invalid and must be re-issued. Important You must replace all legacy HTTPS certificates before you install OpenShift Container Platform 4.10 or update a cluster to that version. Legacy certificates are rejected with the following message: x509: certificate relies on legacy Common Name field, use SANs instead 19.2. Preparing to install a cluster that uses SR-IOV or OVS-DPDK on OpenStack Before you install a OpenShift Container Platform cluster that uses single-root I/O virtualization (SR-IOV) or Open vSwitch with the Data Plane Development Kit (OVS-DPDK) on Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP), you must understand the requirements for each technology and then perform preparatory tasks. 19.2.1. Requirements for clusters on RHOSP that use either SR-IOV or OVS-DPDK If you use SR-IOV or OVS-DPDK with your deployment, you must meet the following requirements: RHOSP compute nodes must use a flavor that supports huge pages. 19.2.1.1. Requirements for clusters on RHOSP that use SR-IOV To use single-root I/O virtualization (SR-IOV) with your deployment, you must meet the following requirements: Plan your Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) SR-IOV deployment . OpenShift Container Platform must support the NICs that you use. For a list of supported NICs, see "About Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) hardware networks" in the "Hardware networks" subsection of the "Networking" documentation. For each node that will have an attached SR-IOV NIC, your RHOSP cluster must have: One instance from the RHOSP quota One port attached to the machines subnet One port for each SR-IOV Virtual Function A flavor with at least 16 GB memory, 4 vCPUs, and 25 GB storage space SR-IOV deployments often employ performance optimizations, such as dedicated or isolated CPUs. For maximum performance, configure your underlying RHOSP deployment to use these optimizations, and then run OpenShift Container Platform compute machines on the optimized infrastructure. For more information about configuring performant RHOSP compute nodes, see Configuring Compute nodes for performance . 19.2.1.2. Requirements for clusters on RHOSP that use OVS-DPDK To use Open vSwitch with the Data Plane Development Kit (OVS-DPDK) with your deployment, you must meet the following requirements: Plan your Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) OVS-DPDK deployment by referring to Planning your OVS-DPDK deployment in the Network Functions Virtualization Planning and Configuration Guide. Configure your RHOSP OVS-DPDK deployment according to Configuring an OVS-DPDK deployment in the Network Functions Virtualization Planning and Configuration Guide. 19.2.2. Preparing to install a cluster that uses SR-IOV You must configure RHOSP before you install a cluster that uses SR-IOV on it. 19.2.2.1. Creating SR-IOV networks for compute machines If your Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) deployment supports single root I/O virtualization (SR-IOV) , you can provision SR-IOV networks that compute machines run on. Note The following instructions entail creating an external flat network and an external, VLAN-based network that can be attached to a compute machine. Depending on your RHOSP deployment, other network types might be required. Prerequisites Your cluster supports SR-IOV. Note If you are unsure about what your cluster supports, review the OpenShift Container Platform SR-IOV hardware networks documentation. You created radio and uplink provider networks as part of your RHOSP deployment. The names radio and uplink are used in all example commands to represent these networks. Procedure On a command line, create a radio RHOSP network: USD openstack network create radio --provider-physical-network radio --provider-network-type flat --external Create an uplink RHOSP network: USD openstack network create uplink --provider-physical-network uplink --provider-network-type vlan --external Create a subnet for the radio network: USD openstack subnet create --network radio --subnet-range <radio_network_subnet_range> radio Create a subnet for the uplink network: USD openstack subnet create --network uplink --subnet-range <uplink_network_subnet_range> uplink 19.2.3. Preparing to install a cluster that uses OVS-DPDK You must configure RHOSP before you install a cluster that uses SR-IOV on it. Complete Creating a flavor and deploying an instance for OVS-DPDK before you install a cluster on RHOSP. After you perform preinstallation tasks, install your cluster by following the most relevant OpenShift Container Platform on RHOSP installation instructions. Then, perform the tasks under " steps" on this page. 19.2.4. steps For either type of deployment: Configure the Node Tuning Operator with huge pages support . To complete SR-IOV configuration after you deploy your cluster: Install the SR-IOV Operator . Configure your SR-IOV network device . Create SR-IOV compute machines . Consult the following references after you deploy your cluster to improve its performance: A test pod template for clusters that use OVS-DPDK on OpenStack . A test pod template for clusters that use SR-IOV on OpenStack . A performance profile template for clusters that use OVS-DPDK on OpenStack . 19.3. Installing a cluster on OpenStack with customizations In OpenShift Container Platform version 4.11, you can install a customized cluster on Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP). To customize the installation, modify parameters in the install-config.yaml before you install the cluster. 19.3.1. 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 verified that OpenShift Container Platform 4.11 is compatible with your RHOSP version by using the Supported platforms for OpenShift clusters section. You can also compare platform support across different versions by viewing the OpenShift Container Platform on RHOSP support matrix . You have a storage service installed in RHOSP, such as block storage (Cinder) or object storage (Swift). Object storage is the recommended storage technology for OpenShift Container Platform registry cluster deployment. For more information, see Optimizing storage . You understand performance and scalability practices for cluster scaling, control plane sizing, and etcd. For more information, see Recommended host practices . You have the metadata service enabled in RHOSP. 19.3.2. Resource guidelines for installing OpenShift Container Platform on RHOSP To support an OpenShift Container Platform installation, your Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) quota must meet the following requirements: Table 19.1. Recommended resources for a default OpenShift Container Platform cluster on RHOSP Resource Value Floating IP addresses 3 Ports 15 Routers 1 Subnets 1 RAM 88 GB vCPUs 22 Volume storage 275 GB Instances 7 Security groups 3 Security group rules 60 Server groups 2 - plus 1 for each additional availability zone in each machine pool A cluster might function with fewer than recommended resources, but its performance is not guaranteed. Important If RHOSP object storage (Swift) is available and operated by a user account with the swiftoperator role, it is used as the default backend for the OpenShift Container Platform image registry. In this case, the volume storage requirement is 175 GB. Swift space requirements vary depending on the size of the image registry. Note By default, your security group and security group rule quotas might be low. If you encounter problems, run openstack quota set --secgroups 3 --secgroup-rules 60 <project> as an administrator to increase them. An OpenShift Container Platform deployment comprises control plane machines, compute machines, and a bootstrap machine. 19.3.2.1. Control plane machines By default, the OpenShift Container Platform installation process creates three control plane machines. Each machine requires: An instance from the RHOSP quota A port from the RHOSP quota A flavor with at least 16 GB memory and 4 vCPUs At least 100 GB storage space from the RHOSP quota 19.3.2.2. Compute machines By default, the OpenShift Container Platform installation process creates three compute machines. Each machine requires: An instance from the RHOSP quota A port from the RHOSP quota A flavor with at least 8 GB memory and 2 vCPUs At least 100 GB storage space from the RHOSP quota Tip Compute machines host the applications that you run on OpenShift Container Platform; aim to run as many as you can. 19.3.2.3. Bootstrap machine During installation, a bootstrap machine is temporarily provisioned to stand up the control plane. After the production control plane is ready, the bootstrap machine is deprovisioned. The bootstrap machine requires: An instance from the RHOSP quota A port from the RHOSP quota A flavor with at least 16 GB memory and 4 vCPUs At least 100 GB storage space from the RHOSP quota 19.3.3. Internet access for OpenShift Container Platform In OpenShift Container Platform 4.11, 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. 19.3.4. Enabling Swift on RHOSP Swift is operated by a user account with the swiftoperator role. Add the role to an account before you run the installation program. Important If the Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) object storage service , commonly known as Swift, is available, OpenShift Container Platform uses it as the image registry storage. If it is unavailable, the installation program relies on the RHOSP block storage service, commonly known as Cinder. If Swift is present and you want to use it, you must enable access to it. If it is not present, or if you do not want to use it, skip this section. Important RHOSP 17 sets the rgw_max_attr_size parameter of Ceph RGW to 256 characters. This setting causes issues with uploading container images to the OpenShift Container Platform registry. You must set the value of rgw_max_attr_size to at least 1024 characters. Before installation, check if your RHOSP deployment is affected by this problem. If it is, reconfigure Ceph RGW. Prerequisites You have a RHOSP administrator account on the target environment. The Swift service is installed. On Ceph RGW , the account in url option is enabled. Procedure To enable Swift on RHOSP: As an administrator in the RHOSP CLI, add the swiftoperator role to the account that will access Swift: USD openstack role add --user <user> --project <project> swiftoperator Your RHOSP deployment can now use Swift for the image registry. 19.3.5. Configuring an image registry with custom storage on clusters that run on RHOSP After you install a cluster on Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP), you can use a Cinder volume that is in a specific availability zone for registry storage. Procedure Create a YAML file that specifies the storage class and availability zone to use. For example: apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1 kind: StorageClass metadata: name: custom-csi-storageclass provisioner: cinder.csi.openstack.org volumeBindingMode: WaitForFirstConsumer allowVolumeExpansion: true parameters: availability: <availability_zone_name> Note OpenShift Container Platform does not verify the existence of the availability zone you choose. Verify the name of the availability zone before you apply the configuration. From a command line, apply the configuration: USD oc apply -f <storage_class_file_name> Example output storageclass.storage.k8s.io/custom-csi-storageclass created Create a YAML file that specifies a persistent volume claim (PVC) that uses your storage class and the openshift-image-registry namespace. For example: apiVersion: v1 kind: PersistentVolumeClaim metadata: name: csi-pvc-imageregistry namespace: openshift-image-registry 1 annotations: imageregistry.openshift.io: "true" spec: accessModes: - ReadWriteOnce volumeMode: Filesystem resources: requests: storage: 100Gi 2 storageClassName: <your_custom_storage_class> 3 1 Enter the namespace openshift-image-registry . This namespace allows the Cluster Image Registry Operator to consume the PVC. 2 Optional: Adjust the volume size. 3 Enter the name of the storage class that you created. From a command line, apply the configuration: USD oc apply -f <pvc_file_name> Example output persistentvolumeclaim/csi-pvc-imageregistry created Replace the original persistent volume claim in the image registry configuration with the new claim: USD oc patch configs.imageregistry.operator.openshift.io/cluster --type 'json' -p='[{"op": "replace", "path": "/spec/storage/pvc/claim", "value": "csi-pvc-imageregistry"}]' Example output config.imageregistry.operator.openshift.io/cluster patched Over the several minutes, the configuration is updated. Verification To confirm that the registry is using the resources that you defined: Verify that the PVC claim value is identical to the name that you provided in your PVC definition: USD oc get configs.imageregistry.operator.openshift.io/cluster -o yaml Example output ... status: ... managementState: Managed pvc: claim: csi-pvc-imageregistry ... Verify that the status of the PVC is Bound : USD oc get pvc -n openshift-image-registry csi-pvc-imageregistry Example output NAME STATUS VOLUME CAPACITY ACCESS MODES STORAGECLASS AGE csi-pvc-imageregistry Bound pvc-72a8f9c9-f462-11e8-b6b6-fa163e18b7b5 100Gi RWO custom-csi-storageclass 11m 19.3.6. Verifying external network access The OpenShift Container Platform installation process requires external network access. You must provide an external network value to it, or deployment fails. Before you begin the process, verify that a network with the external router type exists in Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP). Prerequisites Configure OpenStack's networking service to have DHCP agents forward instances' DNS queries Procedure Using the RHOSP CLI, verify the name and ID of the 'External' network: USD openstack network list --long -c ID -c Name -c "Router Type" Example output +--------------------------------------+----------------+-------------+ | ID | Name | Router Type | +--------------------------------------+----------------+-------------+ | 148a8023-62a7-4672-b018-003462f8d7dc | public_network | External | +--------------------------------------+----------------+-------------+ A network with an external router type appears in the network list. If at least one does not, see Creating a default floating IP network and Creating a default provider network . Important If the external network's CIDR range overlaps one of the default network ranges, you must change the matching network ranges in the install-config.yaml file before you start the installation process. The default network ranges are: Network Range machineNetwork 10.0.0.0/16 serviceNetwork 172.30.0.0/16 clusterNetwork 10.128.0.0/14 Warning If the installation program finds multiple networks with the same name, it sets one of them at random. To avoid this behavior, create unique names for resources in RHOSP. Note If the Neutron trunk service plugin is enabled, a trunk port is created by default. For more information, see Neutron trunk port . 19.3.7. Defining parameters for the installation program The OpenShift Container Platform installation program relies on a file that is called clouds.yaml . The file describes Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) configuration parameters, including the project name, log in information, and authorization service URLs. Procedure Create the clouds.yaml file: If your RHOSP distribution includes the Horizon web UI, generate a clouds.yaml file in it. Important Remember to add a password to the auth field. You can also keep secrets in a separate file from clouds.yaml . OpenShift Container Platform does not support application credentials. If your RHOSP distribution does not include the Horizon web UI, or you do not want to use Horizon, create the file yourself. For detailed information about clouds.yaml , see Config files in the RHOSP documentation. clouds: shiftstack: auth: auth_url: http://10.10.14.42:5000/v3 project_name: shiftstack username: <username> password: <password> user_domain_name: Default project_domain_name: Default dev-env: region_name: RegionOne auth: username: <username> password: <password> project_name: 'devonly' auth_url: 'https://10.10.14.22:5001/v2.0' If your RHOSP installation uses self-signed certificate authority (CA) certificates for endpoint authentication: Copy the certificate authority file to your machine. Add the cacerts key to the clouds.yaml file. The value must be an absolute, non-root-accessible path to the CA certificate: clouds: shiftstack: ... cacert: "/etc/pki/ca-trust/source/anchors/ca.crt.pem" Tip After you run the installer with a custom CA certificate, you can update the certificate by editing the value of the ca-cert.pem key in the cloud-provider-config keymap. On a command line, run: USD oc edit configmap -n openshift-config cloud-provider-config Place the clouds.yaml file in one of the following locations: The value of the OS_CLIENT_CONFIG_FILE environment variable The current directory A Unix-specific user configuration directory, for example ~/.config/openstack/clouds.yaml A Unix-specific site configuration directory, for example /etc/openstack/clouds.yaml The installation program searches for clouds.yaml in that order. 19.3.8. Setting cloud provider options Optionally, you can edit the cloud provider configuration for your cluster. The cloud provider configuration controls how OpenShift Container Platform interacts with Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP). For a complete list of cloud provider configuration parameters, see the "OpenStack cloud configuration reference guide" page in the "Installing on OpenStack" documentation. Procedure If you have not already generated manifest files for your cluster, generate them by running the following command: USD openshift-install --dir <destination_directory> create manifests In a text editor, open the cloud-provider configuration manifest file. For example: USD vi openshift/manifests/cloud-provider-config.yaml Modify the options based on the cloud configuration specification. Configuring Octavia for load balancing is a common case for clusters that do not use Kuryr. For example: #... [LoadBalancer] use-octavia=true 1 lb-provider = "amphora" 2 floating-network-id="d3deb660-4190-40a3-91f1-37326fe6ec4a" 3 create-monitor = True 4 monitor-delay = 10s 5 monitor-timeout = 10s 6 monitor-max-retries = 1 7 #... 1 This property enables Octavia integration. 2 This property sets the Octavia provider that your load balancer uses. It accepts "ovn" or "amphora" as values. If you choose to use OVN, you must also set lb-method to SOURCE_IP_PORT . 3 This property is required if you want to use multiple external networks with your cluster. The cloud provider creates floating IP addresses on the network that is specified here. 4 This property controls whether the cloud provider creates health monitors for Octavia load balancers. Set the value to True to create health monitors. As of RHOSP 16.1 and 16.2, this feature is only available for the Amphora provider. 5 This property sets the frequency with which endpoints are monitored. The value must be in the time.ParseDuration() format. This property is required if the value of the create-monitor property is True . 6 This property sets the time that monitoring requests are open before timing out. The value must be in the time.ParseDuration() format. This property is required if the value of the create-monitor property is True . 7 This property defines how many successful monitoring requests are required before a load balancer is marked as online. The value must be an integer. This property is required if the value of the create-monitor property is True . Important Prior to saving your changes, verify that the file is structured correctly. Clusters might fail if properties are not placed in the appropriate section. Important You must set the value of the create-monitor property to True if you use services that have the value of the .spec.externalTrafficPolicy property set to Local . The OVN Octavia provider in RHOSP 16.1 and 16.2 does not support health monitors. Therefore, services that have ETP parameter values set to Local might not respond when the lb-provider value is set to "ovn" . Important For installations that use Kuryr, Kuryr handles relevant services. There is no need to configure Octavia load balancing in the cloud provider. Save the changes to the file and proceed with installation. Tip You can update your cloud provider configuration after you run the installer. On a command line, run: USD oc edit configmap -n openshift-config cloud-provider-config After you save your changes, your cluster will take some time to reconfigure itself. The process is complete if none of your nodes have a SchedulingDisabled status. 19.3.8.1. External load balancers that use pre-defined floating IP addresses Commonly, Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) deployments disallow non-administrator users from creating specific floating IP addresses. If such a policy is in place and you use a floating IP address in your service specification, the cloud provider will fail to handle IP address assignment to load balancers. If you use an external cloud provider, you can avoid this problem by pre-creating a floating IP address and specifying it in your service specification. The in-tree cloud provider does not support this method. Alternatively, you can modify the RHOSP Networking service (Neutron) to allow non-administrator users to create specific floating IP addresses . Additional resources For more information about cloud provider configuration, see OpenStack cloud provider options . 19.3.9. Obtaining the installation program Before you install OpenShift Container Platform, download the installation file on a local computer. 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. 19.3.10. Creating the installation configuration file You can customize the OpenShift Container Platform cluster you install on Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP). 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. 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 openstack as the platform to target. Specify the Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) external network name to use for installing the cluster. Specify the floating IP address to use for external access to the OpenShift API. Specify a RHOSP flavor with at least 16 GB RAM to use for control plane nodes and 8 GB RAM for compute nodes. Select the base domain to deploy the cluster to. All DNS records will be sub-domains of this base and will also include the cluster name. Enter a name for your cluster. The name must be 14 or fewer characters long. 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. Additional resources See Installation configuration parameters section for more information about the available parameters. 19.3.10.1. 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----- 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. 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. 19.3.11. 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. 19.3.11.1. Required configuration parameters Required installation configuration parameters are described in the following table: Table 19.2. Required parameters Parameter Description Values apiVersion The API version for the install-config.yaml content. The current version is v1 . The installer 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. Object metadata.name The name of the cluster. DNS records for the cluster are all subdomains of {{.metadata.name}}.{{.baseDomain}} . String of lowercase letters, hyphens ( - ), and periods ( . ), such as dev . The string must be 14 characters or fewer long. platform The configuration for the specific platform upon which to perform the installation: alibabacloud , aws , baremetal , azure , gcp , ibmcloud , nutanix , openstack , ovirt , vsphere , or {} . For additional information about platform.<platform> parameters, consult the table for your specific platform that follows. Object pullSecret Get a pull secret from the Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager to authenticate downloading container images for OpenShift Container Platform components from services such as Quay.io. { "auths":{ "cloud.openshift.com":{ "auth":"b3Blb=", "email":"you@example.com" }, "quay.io":{ "auth":"b3Blb=", "email":"you@example.com" } } } 19.3.11.2. 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 19.3. 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 cluster network provider Container Network Interface (CNI) cluster network provider to install. Either OpenShiftSDN or OVNKubernetes . OpenShiftSDN is a CNI provider for all-Linux networks. OVNKubernetes is a CNI provider for Linux networks and hybrid networks that contain both Linux and Windows servers.

The only supported value is 3 , which is the default value. credentialsMode The Cloud Credential Operator (CCO) mode. If no mode is specified, the CCO dynamically tries to determine the capabilities of the provided credentials, with a preference for mint mode on the platforms where multiple modes are supported. Note Not all CCO modes are supported for all cloud providers. For more information on CCO modes, see the Cloud Credential Operator entry in the Cluster Operators reference content. Note If your AWS account has service control policies (SCP) enabled, you must configure the credentialsMode parameter to Mint , Passthrough or Manual . Mint , Passthrough , Manual or an empty string ( "" ). fips Enable or disable FIPS mode. The default is false (disabled). If FIPS mode is enabled, the Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) machines that OpenShift Container Platform runs on bypass the default Kubernetes cryptography suite and use the cryptography modules that are provided with RHCOS instead. Important To enable FIPS mode for your cluster, you must run the installation program from a Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) computer configured to operate in FIPS mode. For more information about configuring FIPS mode on RHEL, see Installing the system in FIPS mode . The use of FIPS validated or Modules In Process cryptographic libraries is only supported on OpenShift Container Platform deployments on the x86_64 architecture.

To use a flavor as the default for all machine pools, add it as the value of the type key in the platform.openstack.defaultMachinePlatform property. You can also set a flavor value for each machine pool individually. String, for example m1.xlarge . 19.3.11.5. Optional RHOSP configuration parameters Optional RHOSP configuration parameters are described in the following table: Table 19.6. Optional RHOSP parameters Parameter Description Values compute.platform.openstack.additionalNetworkIDs Additional networks that are associated with compute machines.

If this parameter is not set, the installer relies on the default settings for Nova that the RHOSP administrator configured. On clusters that use Kuryr, RHOSP Octavia does not support availability zones. Load balancers and, if you are using the Amphora provider driver, OpenShift Container Platform services that rely on Amphora VMs, are not created according to the value of this property. A list of strings. For example, ["zone-1", "zone-2"] . compute.platform.openstack.rootVolume.zones For compute machines, the availability zone to install root volumes on. If you do not set a value for this parameter, the installer selects the default availability zone. A list of strings, for example ["zone-1", "zone-2"] . compute.platform.openstack.serverGroupPolicy Server group policy to apply to the group that will contain the compute machines in the pool. You cannot change server group policies or affiliations after creation. Supported options include anti-affinity , soft-affinity , and soft-anti-affinity . The default value is soft-anti-affinity . An affinity policy prevents migrations and therefore affects RHOSP upgrades. The affinity policy is not supported. If you use a strict anti-affinity policy, an additional RHOSP host is required during instance migration. A server group policy to apply to the machine pool. For example, soft-affinity . controlPlane.platform.openstack.additionalNetworkIDs Additional networks that are associated with control plane machines.

A list of strings. For example, ["zone-1", "zone-2"] . controlPlane.platform.openstack.rootVolume.zones For control plane machines, the availability zone to install root volumes on. If you do not set this value, the installer selects the default availability zone. A list of strings, for example ["zone-1", "zone-2"] . controlPlane.platform.openstack.serverGroupPolicy Server group policy to apply to the group that will contain the control plane machines in the pool. You cannot change server group policies or affiliations after creation. Supported options include anti-affinity , soft-affinity , and soft-anti-affinity . The default value is soft-anti-affinity . An affinity policy prevents migrations, and therefore affects RHOSP upgrades. The affinity policy is not supported. If you use a strict anti-affinity policy, an additional RHOSP host is required during instance migration. A server group policy to apply to the machine pool. For example, soft-affinity . platform.openstack.clusterOSImage The location from which the installer downloads the RHCOS image. You must set this parameter to perform an installation in a restricted network. An HTTP or HTTPS URL, optionally with an SHA-256 checksum. For example, http://mirror.example.com/images/rhcos-43.81.201912131630.0-openstack.x86_64.qcow2.gz?sha256=ffebbd68e8a1f2a245ca19522c16c86f67f9ac8e4e0c1f0a812b068b16f7265d . The value can also be the name of an existing Glance image, for example my-rhcos . platform.openstack.clusterOSImageProperties Properties to add to the installer-uploaded ClusterOSImage in Glance. This property is ignored if platform.openstack.clusterOSImage is set to an existing Glance image. You can use this property to exceed the default persistent volume (PV) limit for RHOSP of 26 PVs per node. To exceed the limit, set the hw_scsi_model property value to virtio-scsi and the hw_disk_bus value to scsi . You can also use this property to enable the QEMU guest agent by including the hw_qemu_guest_agent property with a value of yes . A list of key-value string pairs. For example, ["hw_scsi_model": "virtio-scsi", "hw_disk_bus": "scsi"] . platform.openstack.defaultMachinePlatform The default machine pool platform configuration. { "type": "ml.large", "rootVolume": { "size": 30, "type": "performance" } } platform.openstack.ingressFloatingIP An existing floating IP address to associate with the Ingress port. To use this property, you must also define the platform.openstack.externalNetwork property. An IP address, for example 128.0.0.1 . platform.openstack.apiFloatingIP An existing floating IP address to associate with the API load balancer. To use this property, you must also define the platform.openstack.externalNetwork property. An IP address, for example 128.0.0.1 . platform.openstack.externalDNS IP addresses for external DNS servers that cluster instances use for DNS resolution. A list of IP addresses as strings. For example, ["8.8.8.8", "192.168.1.12"] . platform.openstack.machinesSubnet The UUID of a RHOSP subnet that the cluster's nodes use. Nodes and virtual IP (VIP) ports are created on this subnet. The first item in networking.machineNetwork must match the value of machinesSubnet . If you deploy to a custom subnet, you cannot specify an external DNS server to the OpenShift Container Platform installer. Instead, add DNS to the subnet in RHOSP . A UUID as a string. For example, fa806b2f-ac49-4bce-b9db-124bc64209bf . 19.3.11.6. Custom subnets in RHOSP deployments Optionally, you can deploy a cluster on a Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) subnet of your choice. The subnet's GUID is passed as the value of platform.openstack.machinesSubnet in the install-config.yaml file. This subnet is used as the cluster's primary subnet. By default, nodes and ports are created on it. You can create nodes and ports on a different RHOSP subnet by setting the value of the platform.openstack.machinesSubnet property to the subnet's UUID. Before you run the OpenShift Container Platform installer with a custom subnet, verify that your configuration meets the following requirements: The subnet that is used by platform.openstack.machinesSubnet has DHCP enabled. The CIDR of platform.openstack.machinesSubnet matches the CIDR of networking.machineNetwork . The installation program user has permission to create ports on this network, including ports with fixed IP addresses. Clusters that use custom subnets have the following limitations: If you plan to install a cluster that uses floating IP addresses, the platform.openstack.machinesSubnet subnet must be attached to a router that is connected to the externalNetwork network. If the platform.openstack.machinesSubnet value is set in the install-config.yaml file, the installation program does not create a private network or subnet for your RHOSP machines. You cannot use the platform.openstack.externalDNS property at the same time as a custom subnet. To add DNS to a cluster that uses a custom subnet, configure DNS on the RHOSP network. Note By default, the API VIP takes x.x.x.5 and the Ingress VIP takes x.x.x.7 from your network's CIDR block. To override these default values, set values for platform.openstack.apiVIP and platform.openstack.ingressVIP that are outside of the DHCP allocation pool. Important The CIDR ranges for networks are not adjustable after cluster installation. Red Hat does not provide direct guidance on determining the range during cluster installation because it requires careful consideration of the number of created pods per namespace. 19.3.11.7. Deploying a cluster with bare metal machines If you want your cluster to use bare metal machines, modify the install-config.yaml file. Your cluster can have both control plane and compute machines running on bare metal, or just compute machines. Bare-metal compute machines are not supported on clusters that use Kuryr. Note Be sure that your install-config.yaml file reflects whether the RHOSP network that you use for bare metal workers supports floating IP addresses or not. Prerequisites The RHOSP Bare Metal service (Ironic) is enabled and accessible via the RHOSP Compute API. Bare metal is available as a RHOSP flavor . If your cluster runs on an RHOSP version that is more than 16.1.6 and less than 16.2.4, bare metal workers do not function due to a known issue that causes the metadata service to be unavailable for services on OpenShift Container Platform nodes. The RHOSP network supports both VM and bare metal server attachment. Your network configuration does not rely on a provider network. Provider networks are not supported. If you want to deploy the machines on a pre-existing network, a RHOSP subnet is provisioned. If you want to deploy the machines on an installer-provisioned network, the RHOSP Bare Metal service (Ironic) is able to listen for and interact with Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE) boot machines that run on tenant networks. You created an install-config.yaml file as part of the OpenShift Container Platform installation process. Procedure In the install-config.yaml file, edit the flavors for machines: If you want to use bare-metal control plane machines, change the value of controlPlane.platform.openstack.type to a bare metal flavor. Change the value of compute.platform.openstack.type to a bare metal flavor. If you want to deploy your machines on a pre-existing network, change the value of platform.openstack.machinesSubnet to the RHOSP subnet UUID of the network. Control plane and compute machines must use the same subnet. An example bare metal install-config.yaml file controlPlane: platform: openstack: type: <bare_metal_control_plane_flavor> 1 ... compute: - architecture: amd64 hyperthreading: Enabled name: worker platform: openstack: type: <bare_metal_compute_flavor> 2 replicas: 3 ... platform: openstack: machinesSubnet: <subnet_UUID> 3 ... 1 If you want to have bare-metal control plane machines, change this value to a bare metal flavor. 2 Change this value to a bare metal flavor to use for compute machines. 3 If you want to use a pre-existing network, change this value to the UUID of the RHOSP subnet. Use the updated install-config.yaml file to complete the installation process. The compute machines that are created during deployment use the flavor that you added to the file. Note The installer may time out while waiting for bare metal machines to boot. 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 19.3.11.8. Cluster deployment on RHOSP provider networks You can deploy your OpenShift Container Platform clusters on Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) with a primary network interface on a provider network. Provider networks are commonly used to give projects direct access to a public network that can be used to reach the internet. You can also share provider networks among projects as part of the network creation process. RHOSP provider networks map directly to an existing physical network in the data center. A RHOSP administrator must create them. In the following example, OpenShift Container Platform workloads are connected to a data center by using a provider network: OpenShift Container Platform clusters that are installed on provider networks do not require tenant networks or floating IP addresses. The installer does not create these resources during installation. Example provider network types include flat (untagged) and VLAN (802.1Q tagged). Note A cluster can support as many provider network connections as the network type allows. For example, VLAN networks typically support up to 4096 connections. You can learn more about provider and tenant networks in the RHOSP documentation . 19.3.11.8.1. RHOSP provider network requirements for cluster installation Before you install an OpenShift Container Platform cluster, your Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) deployment and provider network must meet a number of conditions: The RHOSP networking service (Neutron) is enabled and accessible through the RHOSP networking API. The RHOSP networking service has the port security and allowed address pairs extensions enabled . The provider network can be shared with other tenants. Tip Use the openstack network create command with the --share flag to create a network that can be shared. The RHOSP project that you use to install the cluster must own the provider network, as well as an appropriate subnet. Tip To create a network for a project that is named "openshift," enter the following command USD openstack network create --project openshift To create a subnet for a project that is named "openshift," enter the following command USD openstack subnet create --project openshift To learn more about creating networks on RHOSP, read the provider networks documentation . If the cluster is owned by the admin user, you must run the installer as that user to create ports on the network. Important Provider networks must be owned by the RHOSP project that is used to create the cluster. If they are not, the RHOSP Compute service (Nova) cannot request a port from that network. Verify that the provider network can reach the RHOSP metadata service IP address, which is 169.254.169.254 by default. Depending on your RHOSP SDN and networking service configuration, you might need to provide the route when you create the subnet. For example: USD openstack subnet create --dhcp --host-route destination=169.254.169.254/32,gateway=192.0.2.2 ... Optional: To secure the network, create role-based access control (RBAC) rules that limit network access to a single project. 19.3.11.8.2. Deploying a cluster that has a primary interface on a provider network You can deploy an OpenShift Container Platform cluster that has its primary network interface on an Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) provider network. Prerequisites Your Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) deployment is configured as described by "RHOSP provider network requirements for cluster installation". Procedure In a text editor, open the install-config.yaml file. Set the value of the platform.openstack.apiVIP property to the IP address for the API VIP. Set the value of the platform.openstack.ingressVIP property to the IP address for the Ingress VIP. Set the value of the platform.openstack.machinesSubnet property to the UUID of the provider network subnet. Set the value of the networking.machineNetwork.cidr property to the CIDR block of the provider network subnet. Important The platform.openstack.apiVIP and platform.openstack.ingressVIP properties must both be unassigned IP addresses from the networking.machineNetwork.cidr block. Section of an installation configuration file for a cluster that relies on a RHOSP provider network ... platform: openstack: apiVIP: 192.0.2.13 ingressVIP: 192.0.2.23 machinesSubnet: fa806b2f-ac49-4bce-b9db-124bc64209bf # ... networking: machineNetwork: - cidr: 192.0.2.0/24 Warning You cannot set the platform.openstack.externalNetwork or platform.openstack.externalDNS parameters while using a provider network for the primary network interface. When you deploy the cluster, the installer uses the install-config.yaml file to deploy the cluster on the provider network. Tip You can add additional networks, including provider networks, to the platform.openstack.additionalNetworkIDs list. After you deploy your cluster, you can attach pods to additional networks. For more information, see Understanding multiple networks . 19.3.11.9. Sample customized install-config.yaml file for RHOSP This sample install-config.yaml demonstrates all of the possible Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) customization options. Important This sample file is provided for reference only. You must obtain your install-config.yaml file by using the installation program. apiVersion: v1 baseDomain: example.com controlPlane: name: master platform: {} replicas: 3 compute: - name: worker platform: openstack: type: ml.large replicas: 3 metadata: name: example networking: clusterNetwork: - cidr: 10.128.0.0/14 hostPrefix: 23 machineNetwork: - cidr: 10.0.0.0/16 serviceNetwork: - 172.30.0.0/16 networkType: OpenShiftSDN platform: openstack: cloud: mycloud externalNetwork: external computeFlavor: m1.xlarge apiFloatingIP: 128.0.0.1 fips: false pullSecret: '{"auths": ...}' sshKey: ssh-ed25519 AAAA... 19.3.12. 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. 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. Note If you plan to install an OpenShift Container Platform cluster that uses FIPS validated or Modules In Process cryptographic libraries on the x86_64 architecture, do not create a key that uses the ed25519 algorithm. Instead, create a key that uses the rsa or ecdsa algorithm. 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 Note If your cluster is in FIPS mode, only use FIPS-compliant algorithms to generate the SSH key. The key must be either RSA or ECDSA. 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. 19.3.13. Enabling access to the environment At deployment, all OpenShift Container Platform machines are created in a Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP)-tenant network. Therefore, they are not accessible directly in most RHOSP deployments. You can configure OpenShift Container Platform API and application access by using floating IP addresses (FIPs) during installation. You can also complete an installation without configuring FIPs, but the installer will not configure a way to reach the API or applications externally. 19.3.13.1. Enabling access with floating IP addresses Create floating IP (FIP) addresses for external access to the OpenShift Container Platform API and cluster applications. Procedure Using the Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) CLI, create the API FIP: USD openstack floating ip create --description "API <cluster_name>.<base_domain>" <external_network> Using the Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) CLI, create the apps, or Ingress, FIP: USD openstack floating ip create --description "Ingress <cluster_name>.<base_domain>" <external_network> Add records that follow these patterns to your DNS server for the API and Ingress FIPs: api.<cluster_name>.<base_domain>. IN A <API_FIP> *.apps.<cluster_name>.<base_domain>. IN A <apps_FIP> Note If you do not control the DNS server, you can access the cluster by adding the cluster domain names such as the following to your /etc/hosts file: <api_floating_ip> api.<cluster_name>.<base_domain> <application_floating_ip> grafana-openshift-monitoring.apps.<cluster_name>.<base_domain> <application_floating_ip> prometheus-k8s-openshift-monitoring.apps.<cluster_name>.<base_domain> <application_floating_ip> oauth-openshift.apps.<cluster_name>.<base_domain> <application_floating_ip> console-openshift-console.apps.<cluster_name>.<base_domain> application_floating_ip integrated-oauth-server-openshift-authentication.apps.<cluster_name>.<base_domain> The cluster domain names in the /etc/hosts file grant access to the web console and the monitoring interface of your cluster locally. You can also use the kubectl or oc . You can access the user applications by using the additional entries pointing to the <application_floating_ip>. This action makes the API and applications accessible to only you, which is not suitable for production deployment, but does allow installation for development and testing. Add the FIPs to the install-config.yaml file as the values of the following parameters: platform.openstack.ingressFloatingIP platform.openstack.apiFloatingIP If you use these values, you must also enter an external network as the value of the platform.openstack.externalNetwork parameter in the install-config.yaml file. Tip You can make OpenShift Container Platform resources available outside of the cluster by assigning a floating IP address and updating your firewall configuration. 19.3.13.2. Completing installation without floating IP addresses You can install OpenShift Container Platform on Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) without providing floating IP addresses. In the install-config.yaml file, do not define the following parameters: platform.openstack.ingressFloatingIP platform.openstack.apiFloatingIP If you cannot provide an external network, you can also leave platform.openstack.externalNetwork blank. If you do not provide a value for platform.openstack.externalNetwork , a router is not created for you, and, without additional action, the installer will fail to retrieve an image from Glance. You must configure external connectivity on your own. If you run the installer from a system that cannot reach the cluster API due to a lack of floating IP addresses or name resolution, installation fails. To prevent installation failure in these cases, you can use a proxy network or run the installer from a system that is on the same network as your machines. Note You can enable name resolution by creating DNS records for the API and Ingress ports. For example: api.<cluster_name>.<base_domain>. IN A <api_port_IP> *.apps.<cluster_name>.<base_domain>. IN A <ingress_port_IP> If you do not control the DNS server, you can add the record to your /etc/hosts file. This action makes the API accessible to only you, which is not suitable for production deployment but does allow installation for development and testing. 19.3.14. 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 Obtain the OpenShift Container Platform installation program and the pull secret for your cluster. 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 . Note If the cloud provider account that you configured on your host does not have sufficient permissions to deploy the cluster, the installation process stops, and the missing permissions are displayed. 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. 19.3.15. Verifying cluster status You can verify your OpenShift Container Platform cluster's status during or after installation. Procedure In the cluster environment, export the administrator's kubeconfig file: 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. 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. View the control plane and compute machines created after a deployment: USD oc get nodes View your cluster's version: USD oc get clusterversion View your Operators' status: USD oc get clusteroperator View all running pods in the cluster: USD oc get pods -A 19.3.16. 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 See Accessing the web console for more details about accessing and understanding the OpenShift Container Platform web console. 19.3.17. Telemetry access for OpenShift Container Platform In OpenShift Container Platform 4.11, 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 See About remote health monitoring for more information about the Telemetry service 19.3.18. steps Customize your cluster . If necessary, you can opt out of remote health reporting . If you need to enable external access to node ports, configure ingress cluster traffic by using a node port . If you did not configure RHOSP to accept application traffic over floating IP addresses, configure RHOSP access with floating IP addresses . 19.4. Installing a cluster on OpenStack with Kuryr In OpenShift Container Platform version 4.11, you can install a customized cluster on Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) that uses Kuryr SDN. To customize the installation, modify parameters in the install-config.yaml before you install the cluster. 19.4.1. 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 verified that OpenShift Container Platform 4.11 is compatible with your RHOSP version by using the Supported platforms for OpenShift clusters section. You can also compare platform support across different versions by viewing the OpenShift Container Platform on RHOSP support matrix . You have a storage service installed in RHOSP, such as block storage (Cinder) or object storage (Swift). Object storage is the recommended storage technology for OpenShift Container Platform registry cluster deployment. For more information, see Optimizing storage . You understand performance and scalability practices for cluster scaling, control plane sizing, and etcd. For more information, see Recommended host practices . 19.4.2. About Kuryr SDN Kuryr is a container network interface (CNI) plugin solution that uses the Neutron and Octavia Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) services to provide networking for pods and Services. Kuryr and OpenShift Container Platform integration is primarily designed for OpenShift Container Platform clusters running on RHOSP VMs. Kuryr improves the network performance by plugging OpenShift Container Platform pods into RHOSP SDN. In addition, it provides interconnectivity between pods and RHOSP virtual instances. Kuryr components are installed as pods in OpenShift Container Platform using the openshift-kuryr namespace: kuryr-controller - a single service instance installed on a master node. This is modeled in OpenShift Container Platform as a Deployment object. kuryr-cni - a container installing and configuring Kuryr as a CNI driver on each OpenShift Container Platform node. This is modeled in OpenShift Container Platform as a DaemonSet object. The Kuryr controller watches the OpenShift Container Platform API server for pod, service, and namespace create, update, and delete events. It maps the OpenShift Container Platform API calls to corresponding objects in Neutron and Octavia. This means that every network solution that implements the Neutron trunk port functionality can be used to back OpenShift Container Platform via Kuryr. This includes open source solutions such as Open vSwitch (OVS) and Open Virtual Network (OVN) as well as Neutron-compatible commercial SDNs. Kuryr is recommended for OpenShift Container Platform deployments on encapsulated RHOSP tenant networks to avoid double encapsulation, such as running an encapsulated OpenShift Container Platform SDN over an RHOSP network. If you use provider networks or tenant VLANs, you do not need to use Kuryr to avoid double encapsulation. The performance benefit is negligible. Depending on your configuration, though, using Kuryr to avoid having two overlays might still be beneficial. Kuryr is not recommended in deployments where all of the following criteria are true: The RHOSP version is less than 16. The deployment uses UDP services, or a large number of TCP services on few hypervisors. or The ovn-octavia Octavia driver is disabled. The deployment uses a large number of TCP services on few hypervisors. 19.4.3. Resource guidelines for installing OpenShift Container Platform on RHOSP with Kuryr When using Kuryr SDN, the pods, services, namespaces, and network policies are using resources from the RHOSP quota; this increases the minimum requirements. Kuryr also has some additional requirements on top of what a default install requires. Use the following quota to satisfy a default cluster's minimum requirements: Table 19.7. Recommended resources for a default OpenShift Container Platform cluster on RHOSP with Kuryr Resource Value Floating IP addresses 3 - plus the expected number of Services of LoadBalancer type Ports 1500 - 1 needed per Pod Routers 1 Subnets 250 - 1 needed per Namespace/Project Networks 250 - 1 needed per Namespace/Project RAM 112 GB vCPUs 28 Volume storage 275 GB Instances 7 Security groups 250 - 1 needed per Service and per NetworkPolicy Security group rules 1000 Server groups 2 - plus 1 for each additional availability zone in each machine pool Load balancers 100 - 1 needed per Service Load balancer listeners 500 - 1 needed per Service-exposed port Load balancer pools 500 - 1 needed per Service-exposed port A cluster might function with fewer than recommended resources, but its performance is not guaranteed. Important If RHOSP object storage (Swift) is available and operated by a user account with the swiftoperator role, it is used as the default backend for the OpenShift Container Platform image registry. In this case, the volume storage requirement is 175 GB. Swift space requirements vary depending on the size of the image registry. Important If you are using Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) version 16 with the Amphora driver rather than the OVN Octavia driver, security groups are associated with service accounts instead of user projects. Take the following notes into consideration when setting resources: The number of ports that are required is larger than the number of pods. Kuryr uses ports pools to have pre-created ports ready to be used by pods and speed up the pods' booting time. Each network policy is mapped into an RHOSP security group, and depending on the NetworkPolicy spec, one or more rules are added to the security group. Each service is mapped to an RHOSP load balancer. Consider this requirement when estimating the number of security groups required for the quota. If you are using RHOSP version 15 or earlier, or the ovn-octavia driver , each load balancer has a security group with the user project. The quota does not account for load balancer resources (such as VM resources), but you must consider these resources when you decide the RHOSP deployment's size. The default installation will have more than 50 load balancers; the clusters must be able to accommodate them. If you are using RHOSP version 16 with the OVN Octavia driver enabled, only one load balancer VM is generated; services are load balanced through OVN flows. An OpenShift Container Platform deployment comprises control plane machines, compute machines, and a bootstrap machine. To enable Kuryr SDN, your environment must meet the following requirements: Run RHOSP 13+. Have Overcloud with Octavia. Use Neutron Trunk ports extension. Use openvswitch firewall driver if ML2/OVS Neutron driver is used instead of ovs-hybrid . 19.4.3.1. Increasing quota When using Kuryr SDN, you must increase quotas to satisfy the Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) resources used by pods, services, namespaces, and network policies. Procedure Increase the quotas for a project by running the following command: USD sudo openstack quota set --secgroups 250 --secgroup-rules 1000 --ports 1500 --subnets 250 --networks 250 <project> 19.4.3.2. Configuring Neutron Kuryr CNI leverages the Neutron Trunks extension to plug containers into the Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) SDN, so you must use the trunks extension for Kuryr to properly work. In addition, if you leverage the default ML2/OVS Neutron driver, the firewall must be set to openvswitch instead of ovs_hybrid so that security groups are enforced on trunk subports and Kuryr can properly handle network policies. 19.4.3.3. Configuring Octavia Kuryr SDN uses Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP)'s Octavia LBaaS to implement OpenShift Container Platform services. Thus, you must install and configure Octavia components in RHOSP to use Kuryr SDN. To enable Octavia, you must include the Octavia service during the installation of the RHOSP Overcloud, or upgrade the Octavia service if the Overcloud already exists. The following steps for enabling Octavia apply to both a clean install of the Overcloud or an Overcloud update. Note The following steps only capture the key pieces required during the deployment of RHOSP when dealing with Octavia. It is also important to note that registry methods vary. This example uses the local registry method. Procedure If you are using the local registry, create a template to upload the images to the registry. For example: (undercloud) USD openstack overcloud container image prepare \ -e /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/environments/services-docker/octavia.yaml \ --namespace=registry.access.redhat.com/rhosp13 \ --push-destination=<local-ip-from-undercloud.conf>:8787 \ --prefix=openstack- \ --tag-from-label {version}-{product-version} \ --output-env-file=/home/stack/templates/overcloud_images.yaml \ --output-images-file /home/stack/local_registry_images.yaml Verify that the local_registry_images.yaml file contains the Octavia images. For example: ... - imagename: registry.access.redhat.com/rhosp13/openstack-octavia-api:13.0-43 push_destination: <local-ip-from-undercloud.conf>:8787 - imagename: registry.access.redhat.com/rhosp13/openstack-octavia-health-manager:13.0-45 push_destination: <local-ip-from-undercloud.conf>:8787 - imagename: registry.access.redhat.com/rhosp13/openstack-octavia-housekeeping:13.0-45 push_destination: <local-ip-from-undercloud.conf>:8787 - imagename: registry.access.redhat.com/rhosp13/openstack-octavia-worker:13.0-44 push_destination: <local-ip-from-undercloud.conf>:8787 Note The Octavia container versions vary depending upon the specific RHOSP release installed. Pull the container images from registry.redhat.io to the Undercloud node: (undercloud) USD sudo openstack overcloud container image upload \ --config-file /home/stack/local_registry_images.yaml \ --verbose This may take some time depending on the speed of your network and Undercloud disk. Since an Octavia load balancer is used to access the OpenShift Container Platform API, you must increase their listeners' default timeouts for the connections. The default timeout is 50 seconds. Increase the timeout to 20 minutes by passing the following file to the Overcloud deploy command: (undercloud) USD cat octavia_timeouts.yaml parameter_defaults: OctaviaTimeoutClientData: 1200000 OctaviaTimeoutMemberData: 1200000 Note This is not needed for RHOSP 13.0.13+. Install or update your Overcloud environment with Octavia: USD openstack overcloud deploy --templates \ -e /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/environments/services-docker/octavia.yaml \ -e octavia_timeouts.yaml Note This command only includes the files associated with Octavia; it varies based on your specific installation of RHOSP. See the RHOSP documentation for further information. For more information on customizing your Octavia installation, see installation of Octavia using Director . Note When leveraging Kuryr SDN, the Overcloud installation requires the Neutron trunk extension. This is available by default on director deployments. Use the openvswitch firewall instead of the default ovs-hybrid when the Neutron backend is ML2/OVS. There is no need for modifications if the backend is ML2/OVN. In RHOSP versions earlier than 13.0.13, add the project ID to the octavia.conf configuration file after you create the project. To enforce network policies across services, like when traffic goes through the Octavia load balancer, you must ensure Octavia creates the Amphora VM security groups on the user project. This change ensures that required load balancer security groups belong to that project, and that they can be updated to enforce services isolation. Note This task is unnecessary in RHOSP version 13.0.13 or later. Octavia implements a new ACL API that restricts access to the load balancers VIP.

Restart the Octavia worker so the new configuration loads. controller-0USD sudo docker restart octavia_worker Note Depending on your RHOSP environment, Octavia might not support UDP listeners. If you use Kuryr SDN on RHOSP version 13.0.13 or earlier, UDP services are not supported. RHOSP version 16 or later support UDP. 19.4.3.3.1. The Octavia OVN Driver Octavia supports multiple provider drivers through the Octavia API. To see all available Octavia provider drivers, on a command line, enter: USD openstack loadbalancer provider list Example output +---------+-------------------------------------------------+ | name | description | +---------+-------------------------------------------------+ | amphora | The Octavia Amphora driver. | | octavia | Deprecated alias of the Octavia Amphora driver. | | ovn | Octavia OVN driver. | +---------+-------------------------------------------------+ Beginning with RHOSP version 16, the Octavia OVN provider driver ( ovn ) is supported on OpenShift Container Platform on RHOSP deployments. ovn is an integration driver for the load balancing that Octavia and OVN provide. It supports basic load balancing capabilities, and is based on OpenFlow rules. The driver is automatically enabled in Octavia by Director on deployments that use OVN Neutron ML2. The Amphora provider driver is the default driver. If ovn is enabled, however, Kuryr uses it. If Kuryr uses ovn instead of Amphora, it offers the following benefits: Decreased resource requirements. Kuryr does not require a load balancer VM for each service. Reduced network latency. Increased service creation speed by using OpenFlow rules instead of a VM for each service. Distributed load balancing actions across all nodes instead of centralized on Amphora VMs. You can configure your cluster to use the Octavia OVN driver after your RHOSP cloud is upgraded from version 13 to version 16. 19.4.3.4. Known limitations of installing with Kuryr Using OpenShift Container Platform with Kuryr SDN has several known limitations. RHOSP general limitations Using OpenShift Container Platform with Kuryr SDN has several limitations that apply to all versions and environments: Service objects with the NodePort type are not supported. Clusters that use the OVN Octavia provider driver support Service objects for which the .spec.selector property is unspecified only if the .subsets.addresses property of the Endpoints object includes the subnet of the nodes or pods. If the subnet on which machines are created is not connected to a router, or if the subnet is connected, but the router has no external gateway set, Kuryr cannot create floating IPs for Service objects with type LoadBalancer . Configuring the sessionAffinity=ClientIP property on Service objects does not have an effect. Kuryr does not support this setting. RHOSP version limitations Using OpenShift Container Platform with Kuryr SDN has several limitations that depend on the RHOSP version. RHOSP versions before 16 use the default Octavia load balancer driver (Amphora). This driver requires that one Amphora load balancer VM is deployed per OpenShift Container Platform service. Creating too many services can cause you to run out of resources. Deployments of later versions of RHOSP that have the OVN Octavia driver disabled also use the Amphora driver. They are subject to the same resource concerns as earlier versions of RHOSP. Octavia RHOSP versions before 13.0.13 do not support UDP listeners. Therefore, OpenShift Container Platform UDP services are not supported. Octavia RHOSP versions before 13.0.13 cannot listen to multiple protocols on the same port. Services that expose the same port to different protocols, like TCP and UDP, are not supported. Kuryr SDN does not support automatic unidling by a service. RHOSP environment limitations There are limitations when using Kuryr SDN that depend on your deployment environment. Because of Octavia's lack of support for the UDP protocol and multiple listeners, if the RHOSP version is earlier than 13.0.13, Kuryr forces pods to use TCP for DNS resolution. In Go versions 1.12 and earlier, applications that are compiled with CGO support disabled use UDP only. In this case, the native Go resolver does not recognize the use-vc option in resolv.conf , which controls whether TCP is forced for DNS resolution. As a result, UDP is still used for DNS resolution, which fails. To ensure that TCP forcing is allowed, compile applications either with the environment variable CGO_ENABLED set to 1 , i.e. CGO_ENABLED=1 , or ensure that the variable is absent. In Go versions 1.13 and later, TCP is used automatically if DNS resolution using UDP fails. Note musl-based containers, including Alpine-based containers, do not support the use-vc option. RHOSP upgrade limitations As a result of the RHOSP upgrade process, the Octavia API might be changed, and upgrades to the Amphora images that are used for load balancers might be required. You can address API changes on an individual basis. If the Amphora image is upgraded, the RHOSP operator can handle existing load balancer VMs in two ways: Upgrade each VM by triggering a load balancer failover . Leave responsibility for upgrading the VMs to users. If the operator takes the first option, there might be short downtimes during failovers. If the operator takes the second option, the existing load balancers will not support upgraded Octavia API features, like UDP listeners. In this case, users must recreate their Services to use these features. Important If OpenShift Container Platform detects a new Octavia version that supports UDP load balancing, it recreates the DNS service automatically. The service recreation ensures that the service default supports UDP load balancing. The recreation causes the DNS service approximately one minute of downtime. 19.4.3.5. Control plane machines By default, the OpenShift Container Platform installation process creates three control plane machines. Each machine requires: An instance from the RHOSP quota A port from the RHOSP quota A flavor with at least 16 GB memory and 4 vCPUs At least 100 GB storage space from the RHOSP quota 19.4.3.6. Compute machines By default, the OpenShift Container Platform installation process creates three compute machines. Each machine requires: An instance from the RHOSP quota A port from the RHOSP quota A flavor with at least 8 GB memory and 2 vCPUs At least 100 GB storage space from the RHOSP quota Tip Compute machines host the applications that you run on OpenShift Container Platform; aim to run as many as you can. 19.4.3.7. Bootstrap machine During installation, a bootstrap machine is temporarily provisioned to stand up the control plane. After the production control plane is ready, the bootstrap machine is deprovisioned. The bootstrap machine requires: An instance from the RHOSP quota A port from the RHOSP quota A flavor with at least 16 GB memory and 4 vCPUs At least 100 GB storage space from the RHOSP quota 19.4.4. Internet access for OpenShift Container Platform In OpenShift Container Platform 4.11, 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. 19.4.5. Enabling Swift on RHOSP Swift is operated by a user account with the swiftoperator role. Add the role to an account before you run the installation program. Important If the Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) object storage service , commonly known as Swift, is available, OpenShift Container Platform uses it as the image registry storage. If it is unavailable, the installation program relies on the RHOSP block storage service, commonly known as Cinder. If Swift is present and you want to use it, you must enable access to it. If it is not present, or if you do not want to use it, skip this section. Important RHOSP 17 sets the rgw_max_attr_size parameter of Ceph RGW to 256 characters. This setting causes issues with uploading container images to the OpenShift Container Platform registry. You must set the value of rgw_max_attr_size to at least 1024 characters. Before installation, check if your RHOSP deployment is affected by this problem. If it is, reconfigure Ceph RGW. Prerequisites You have a RHOSP administrator account on the target environment. The Swift service is installed. On Ceph RGW , the account in url option is enabled. Procedure To enable Swift on RHOSP: As an administrator in the RHOSP CLI, add the swiftoperator role to the account that will access Swift: USD openstack role add --user <user> --project <project> swiftoperator Your RHOSP deployment can now use Swift for the image registry. 19.4.6. Verifying external network access The OpenShift Container Platform installation process requires external network access. You must provide an external network value to it, or deployment fails. Before you begin the process, verify that a network with the external router type exists in Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP). Prerequisites Configure OpenStack's networking service to have DHCP agents forward instances' DNS queries Procedure Using the RHOSP CLI, verify the name and ID of the 'External' network: USD openstack network list --long -c ID -c Name -c "Router Type" Example output +--------------------------------------+----------------+-------------+ | ID | Name | Router Type | +--------------------------------------+----------------+-------------+ | 148a8023-62a7-4672-b018-003462f8d7dc | public_network | External | +--------------------------------------+----------------+-------------+ A network with an external router type appears in the network list. If at least one does not, see Creating a default floating IP network and Creating a default provider network . Important If the external network's CIDR range overlaps one of the default network ranges, you must change the matching network ranges in the install-config.yaml file before you start the installation process. The default network ranges are: Network Range machineNetwork 10.0.0.0/16 serviceNetwork 172.30.0.0/16 clusterNetwork 10.128.0.0/14 Warning If the installation program finds multiple networks with the same name, it sets one of them at random. To avoid this behavior, create unique names for resources in RHOSP. Note If the Neutron trunk service plugin is enabled, a trunk port is created by default. For more information, see Neutron trunk port . 19.4.7. Defining parameters for the installation program The OpenShift Container Platform installation program relies on a file that is called clouds.yaml . The file describes Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) configuration parameters, including the project name, log in information, and authorization service URLs. Procedure Create the clouds.yaml file: If your RHOSP distribution includes the Horizon web UI, generate a clouds.yaml file in it. Important Remember to add a password to the auth field. You can also keep secrets in a separate file from clouds.yaml . OpenShift Container Platform does not support application credentials. If your RHOSP distribution does not include the Horizon web UI, or you do not want to use Horizon, create the file yourself. For detailed information about clouds.yaml , see Config files in the RHOSP documentation. clouds: shiftstack: auth: auth_url: http://10.10.14.42:5000/v3 project_name: shiftstack username: <username> password: <password> user_domain_name: Default project_domain_name: Default dev-env: region_name: RegionOne auth: username: <username> password: <password> project_name: 'devonly' auth_url: 'https://10.10.14.22:5001/v2.0' If your RHOSP installation uses self-signed certificate authority (CA) certificates for endpoint authentication: Copy the certificate authority file to your machine. Add the cacerts key to the clouds.yaml file. The value must be an absolute, non-root-accessible path to the CA certificate: clouds: shiftstack: ... cacert: "/etc/pki/ca-trust/source/anchors/ca.crt.pem" Tip After you run the installer with a custom CA certificate, you can update the certificate by editing the value of the ca-cert.pem key in the cloud-provider-config keymap. On a command line, run: USD oc edit configmap -n openshift-config cloud-provider-config Place the clouds.yaml file in one of the following locations: The value of the OS_CLIENT_CONFIG_FILE environment variable The current directory A Unix-specific user configuration directory, for example ~/.config/openstack/clouds.yaml A Unix-specific site configuration directory, for example /etc/openstack/clouds.yaml The installation program searches for clouds.yaml in that order. 19.4.8. Setting cloud provider options Optionally, you can edit the cloud provider configuration for your cluster. The cloud provider configuration controls how OpenShift Container Platform interacts with Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP). For a complete list of cloud provider configuration parameters, see the "OpenStack cloud configuration reference guide" page in the "Installing on OpenStack" documentation. Procedure If you have not already generated manifest files for your cluster, generate them by running the following command: USD openshift-install --dir <destination_directory> create manifests In a text editor, open the cloud-provider configuration manifest file. For example: USD vi openshift/manifests/cloud-provider-config.yaml Modify the options based on the cloud configuration specification. Configuring Octavia for load balancing is a common case for clusters that do not use Kuryr. For example: #... [LoadBalancer] use-octavia=true 1 lb-provider = "amphora" 2 floating-network-id="d3deb660-4190-40a3-91f1-37326fe6ec4a" 3 create-monitor = True 4 monitor-delay = 10s 5 monitor-timeout = 10s 6 monitor-max-retries = 1 7 #... 1 This property enables Octavia integration. 2 This property sets the Octavia provider that your load balancer uses. It accepts "ovn" or "amphora" as values. If you choose to use OVN, you must also set lb-method to SOURCE_IP_PORT . 3 This property is required if you want to use multiple external networks with your cluster. The cloud provider creates floating IP addresses on the network that is specified here. 4 This property controls whether the cloud provider creates health monitors for Octavia load balancers. Set the value to True to create health monitors. As of RHOSP 16.1 and 16.2, this feature is only available for the Amphora provider. 5 This property sets the frequency with which endpoints are monitored. The value must be in the time.ParseDuration() format. This property is required if the value of the create-monitor property is True . 6 This property sets the time that monitoring requests are open before timing out. The value must be in the time.ParseDuration() format. This property is required if the value of the create-monitor property is True . 7 This property defines how many successful monitoring requests are required before a load balancer is marked as online. The value must be an integer. This property is required if the value of the create-monitor property is True . Important Prior to saving your changes, verify that the file is structured correctly. Clusters might fail if properties are not placed in the appropriate section. Important You must set the value of the create-monitor property to True if you use services that have the value of the .spec.externalTrafficPolicy property set to Local . The OVN Octavia provider in RHOSP 16.1 and 16.2 does not support health monitors. Therefore, services that have ETP parameter values set to Local might not respond when the lb-provider value is set to "ovn" . Important For installations that use Kuryr, Kuryr handles relevant services. There is no need to configure Octavia load balancing in the cloud provider. Save the changes to the file and proceed with installation. Tip You can update your cloud provider configuration after you run the installer. On a command line, run: USD oc edit configmap -n openshift-config cloud-provider-config After you save your changes, your cluster will take some time to reconfigure itself. The process is complete if none of your nodes have a SchedulingDisabled status. 19.4.8.1. External load balancers that use pre-defined floating IP addresses Commonly, Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) deployments disallow non-administrator users from creating specific floating IP addresses. If such a policy is in place and you use a floating IP address in your service specification, the cloud provider will fail to handle IP address assignment to load balancers. If you use an external cloud provider, you can avoid this problem by pre-creating a floating IP address and specifying it in your service specification. The in-tree cloud provider does not support this method. Alternatively, you can modify the RHOSP Networking service (Neutron) to allow non-administrator users to create specific floating IP addresses . Additional resources For more information about cloud provider configuration, see OpenStack cloud provider options . 19.4.9. Obtaining the installation program Before you install OpenShift Container Platform, download the installation file on a local computer. 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. 19.4.10. Creating the installation configuration file You can customize the OpenShift Container Platform cluster you install on Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP). 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. 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 openstack as the platform to target. Specify the Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) external network name to use for installing the cluster. Specify the floating IP address to use for external access to the OpenShift API. Specify a RHOSP flavor with at least 16 GB RAM to use for control plane nodes and 8 GB RAM for compute nodes. Select the base domain to deploy the cluster to. All DNS records will be sub-domains of this base and will also include the cluster name. Enter a name for your cluster. The name must be 14 or fewer characters long. 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. 19.4.10.1. 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. Note Kuryr installations default to HTTP proxies. Prerequisites For Kuryr installations on restricted networks that use the Proxy object, the proxy must be able to reply to the router that the cluster uses. To add a static route for the proxy configuration, from a command line as the root user, enter: USD ip route add <cluster_network_cidr> via <installer_subnet_gateway> The restricted subnet must have a gateway that is defined and available to be linked to the Router resource that Kuryr creates. 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----- 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. 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. 19.4.11. 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. 19.4.11.1. Required configuration parameters Required installation configuration parameters are described in the following table: Table 19.8. Required parameters Parameter Description Values apiVersion The API version for the install-config.yaml content. The current version is v1 . The installer 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. Object metadata.name The name of the cluster. DNS records for the cluster are all subdomains of {{.metadata.name}}.{{.baseDomain}} . String of lowercase letters, hyphens ( - ), and periods ( . ), such as dev . The string must be 14 characters or fewer long. platform The configuration for the specific platform upon which to perform the installation: alibabacloud , aws , baremetal , azure , gcp , ibmcloud , nutanix , openstack , ovirt , vsphere , or {} . For additional information about platform.<platform> parameters, consult the table for your specific platform that follows. Object pullSecret Get a pull secret from the Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager to authenticate downloading container images for OpenShift Container Platform components from services such as Quay.io. { "auths":{ "cloud.openshift.com":{ "auth":"b3Blb=", "email":"you@example.com" }, "quay.io":{ "auth":"b3Blb=", "email":"you@example.com" } } } 19.4.11.2. 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 19.9. 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 cluster network provider Container Network Interface (CNI) cluster network provider to install. Either OpenShiftSDN or OVNKubernetes . OpenShiftSDN is a CNI provider for all-Linux networks. OVNKubernetes is a CNI provider for Linux networks and hybrid networks that contain both Linux and Windows servers. The default value is OpenShiftSDN . networking.clusterNetwork The IP address blocks for pods. The default value is 10.128.0.0/14 with a host prefix of /23 . If you specify multiple IP address blocks, the blocks must not overlap. An array of objects.

An IP address block in Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) notation. The prefix length for an IPv4 block is between 0 and 32 . networking.clusterNetwork.hostPrefix The subnet prefix length to assign to each individual node. For example, if hostPrefix is set to 23 then each node is assigned a /23 subnet out of the given cidr . A hostPrefix value of 23 provides 510 (2^(32 - 23) - 2) pod IP addresses. A subnet prefix. The default value is 23 . networking.serviceNetwork The IP address block for services. The default value is 172.30.0.0/16 . The OpenShift SDN and OVN-Kubernetes network providers support only a single IP address block for the service network. An array with an IP address block in CIDR format. For example: networking: serviceNetwork: - 172.30.0.0/16 networking.machineNetwork The IP address blocks for machines. If you specify multiple IP address blocks, the blocks must not overlap. An array of objects. For example: networking: machineNetwork: - cidr: 10.0.0.0/16 networking.machineNetwork.cidr Required if you use networking.machineNetwork . An IP address block. The default value is 10.0.0.0/16 for all platforms other than libvirt. For libvirt, the default value is 192.168.126.0/24 . An IP network block in CIDR notation. For example, 10.0.0.0/16 . Note Set the networking.machineNetwork to match the CIDR that the preferred NIC resides in. 19.4.11.3. Optional configuration parameters Optional installation configuration parameters are described in the following table: Table 19.10. Optional parameters Parameter Description Values additionalTrustBundle A PEM-encoded X.509 certificate bundle that is added to the nodes' trusted certificate store. This trust bundle may also be used when a proxy has been configured. String capabilities Controls the installation of optional core cluster components. You can reduce the footprint of your OpenShift Container Platform cluster by disabling optional components. String array capabilities.baselineCapabilitySet Selects an initial set of optional capabilities to enable. Valid values are None , v4.11 and vCurrent . v4.11 enables the baremetal Operator, the marketplace Operator, and the openshift-samples content. vCurrent installs the recommended set of capabilities for the current version of OpenShift Container Platform. The default value is vCurrent . String capabilities.additionalEnabledCapabilities Extends the set of optional capabilities beyond what you specify in baselineCapabilitySet . Valid values are baremetal , marketplace and openshift-samples . You may specify multiple capabilities in this parameter. String array cgroupsV2 Enables Linux control groups version 2 (cgroups v2) on specific nodes in your cluster. The OpenShift Container Platform process for enabling cgroups v2 disables all cgroup version 1 controllers and hierarchies. The OpenShift Container Platform cgroups version 2 feature is in Developer Preview and is not supported by Red Hat at this time. true compute The configuration for the machines that comprise the compute nodes. Array of MachinePool objects. compute.architecture Determines the instruction set architecture of the machines in the pool. Currently, clusters with varied architectures are not supported. All pools must specify the same architecture. Valid values are amd64 (the default). String compute.hyperthreading Whether to enable or disable simultaneous multithreading, or hyperthreading , on compute machines. By default, simultaneous multithreading is enabled to increase the performance of your machines' cores. Important If you disable simultaneous multithreading, ensure that your capacity planning accounts for the dramatically decreased machine performance. Enabled or Disabled compute.name Required if you use compute . The name of the machine pool. worker compute.platform Required if you use compute . Use this parameter to specify the cloud provider to host the worker machines. This parameter value must match the controlPlane.platform parameter value. alibabacloud , aws , azure , gcp , ibmcloud , nutanix , openstack , ovirt , vsphere , or {} compute.replicas The number of compute machines, which are also known as worker machines, to provision. A positive integer greater than or equal to 2 . The default value is 3 . controlPlane The configuration for the machines that comprise the control plane. Array of MachinePool objects. controlPlane.architecture Determines the instruction set architecture of the machines in the pool. Currently, clusters with varied architectures are not supported. All pools must specify the same architecture. Valid values are amd64 (the default). String controlPlane.hyperthreading Whether to enable or disable simultaneous multithreading, or hyperthreading , on control plane machines.

The only supported value is 3 , which is the default value. credentialsMode The Cloud Credential Operator (CCO) mode. If no mode is specified, the CCO dynamically tries to determine the capabilities of the provided credentials, with a preference for mint mode on the platforms where multiple modes are supported. Note Not all CCO modes are supported for all cloud providers. For more information on CCO modes, see the Cloud Credential Operator entry in the Cluster Operators reference content. Note If your AWS account has service control policies (SCP) enabled, you must configure the credentialsMode parameter to Mint , Passthrough or Manual . Mint , Passthrough , Manual or an empty string ( "" ). fips Enable or disable FIPS mode. The default is false (disabled). If FIPS mode is enabled, the Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) machines that OpenShift Container Platform runs on bypass the default Kubernetes cryptography suite and use the cryptography modules that are provided with RHCOS instead. Important To enable FIPS mode for your cluster, you must run the installation program from a Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) computer configured to operate in FIPS mode. For more information about configuring FIPS mode on RHEL, see Installing the system in FIPS mode . The use of FIPS validated or Modules In Process cryptographic libraries is only supported on OpenShift Container Platform deployments on the x86_64 architecture.

Array of strings publish How to publish or expose the user-facing endpoints of your cluster, such as the Kubernetes API, OpenShift routes. Internal or External . The default value is External . Setting this field to Internal is not supported on non-cloud platforms and IBM Cloud VPC. Important If the value of the field is set to Internal , the cluster will become non-functional. For more information, refer to BZ#1953035 . sshKey The SSH key to authenticate access to 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. For example, sshKey: ssh-ed25519 AAAA.. . 19.4.11.4. Additional Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) configuration parameters Additional RHOSP configuration parameters are described in the following table: Table 19.11. Additional RHOSP parameters Parameter Description Values compute.platform.openstack.rootVolume.size For compute machines, the size in gigabytes of the root volume. If you do not set this value, machines use ephemeral storage. Integer, for example 30 . compute.platform.openstack.rootVolume.type For compute machines, the root volume's type. String, for example performance . controlPlane.platform.openstack.rootVolume.size For control plane machines, the size in gigabytes of the root volume.

If this parameter is not set, the installer relies on the default settings for Nova that the RHOSP administrator configured. On clusters that use Kuryr, RHOSP Octavia does not support availability zones. Load balancers and, if you are using the Amphora provider driver, OpenShift Container Platform services that rely on Amphora VMs, are not created according to the value of this property. A list of strings. For example, ["zone-1", "zone-2"] . compute.platform.openstack.rootVolume.zones For compute machines, the availability zone to install root volumes on. If you do not set a value for this parameter, the installer selects the default availability zone. A list of strings, for example ["zone-1", "zone-2"] . compute.platform.openstack.serverGroupPolicy Server group policy to apply to the group that will contain the compute machines in the pool. You cannot change server group policies or affiliations after creation. Supported options include anti-affinity , soft-affinity , and soft-anti-affinity . The default value is soft-anti-affinity . An affinity policy prevents migrations and therefore affects RHOSP upgrades. The affinity policy is not supported. If you use a strict anti-affinity policy, an additional RHOSP host is required during instance migration. A server group policy to apply to the machine pool. For example, soft-affinity . controlPlane.platform.openstack.additionalNetworkIDs Additional networks that are associated with control plane machines. Allowed address pairs are not created for additional networks. A list of one or more UUIDs as strings.

Load balancers and, if you are using the Amphora provider driver, OpenShift Container Platform services that rely on Amphora VMs, are not created according to the value of this property. A list of strings. For example, ["zone-1", "zone-2"] . controlPlane.platform.openstack.rootVolume.zones For control plane machines, the availability zone to install root volumes on. If you do not set this value, the installer selects the default availability zone. A list of strings, for example ["zone-1", "zone-2"] . controlPlane.platform.openstack.serverGroupPolicy Server group policy to apply to the group that will contain the control plane machines in the pool. You cannot change server group policies or affiliations after creation. Supported options include anti-affinity , soft-affinity , and soft-anti-affinity . The default value is soft-anti-affinity . An affinity policy prevents migrations, and therefore affects RHOSP upgrades. The affinity policy is not supported. If you use a strict anti-affinity policy, an additional RHOSP host is required during instance migration. A server group policy to apply to the machine pool. For example, soft-affinity . platform.openstack.clusterOSImage The location from which the installer downloads the RHCOS image. You must set this parameter to perform an installation in a restricted network. An HTTP or HTTPS URL, optionally with an SHA-256 checksum. For example, http://mirror.example.com/images/rhcos-43.81.201912131630.0-openstack.x86_64.qcow2.gz?sha256=ffebbd68e8a1f2a245ca19522c16c86f67f9ac8e4e0c1f0a812b068b16f7265d . The value can also be the name of an existing Glance image, for example my-rhcos . platform.openstack.clusterOSImageProperties Properties to add to the installer-uploaded ClusterOSImage in Glance. This property is ignored if platform.openstack.clusterOSImage is set to an existing Glance image. You can use this property to exceed the default persistent volume (PV) limit for RHOSP of 26 PVs per node. To exceed the limit, set the hw_scsi_model property value to virtio-scsi and the hw_disk_bus value to scsi . You can also use this property to enable the QEMU guest agent by including the hw_qemu_guest_agent property with a value of yes . A list of key-value string pairs. For example, ["hw_scsi_model": "virtio-scsi", "hw_disk_bus": "scsi"] . platform.openstack.defaultMachinePlatform The default machine pool platform configuration. { "type": "ml.large", "rootVolume": { "size": 30, "type": "performance" } } platform.openstack.ingressFloatingIP An existing floating IP address to associate with the Ingress port. To use this property, you must also define the platform.openstack.externalNetwork property. An IP address, for example 128.0.0.1 . platform.openstack.apiFloatingIP An existing floating IP address to associate with the API load balancer. To use this property, you must also define the platform.openstack.externalNetwork property. An IP address, for example 128.0.0.1 . platform.openstack.externalDNS IP addresses for external DNS servers that cluster instances use for DNS resolution. A list of IP addresses as strings. For example, ["8.8.8.8", "192.168.1.12"] . platform.openstack.machinesSubnet The UUID of a RHOSP subnet that the cluster's nodes use. Nodes and virtual IP (VIP) ports are created on this subnet. The first item in networking.machineNetwork must match the value of machinesSubnet . If you deploy to a custom subnet, you cannot specify an external DNS server to the OpenShift Container Platform installer. Instead, add DNS to the subnet in RHOSP . A UUID as a string. For example, fa806b2f-ac49-4bce-b9db-124bc64209bf . 19.4.11.6. Custom subnets in RHOSP deployments Optionally, you can deploy a cluster on a Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) subnet of your choice. The subnet's GUID is passed as the value of platform.openstack.machinesSubnet in the install-config.yaml file. This subnet is used as the cluster's primary subnet. By default, nodes and ports are created on it. You can create nodes and ports on a different RHOSP subnet by setting the value of the platform.openstack.machinesSubnet property to the subnet's UUID. Before you run the OpenShift Container Platform installer with a custom subnet, verify that your configuration meets the following requirements: The subnet that is used by platform.openstack.machinesSubnet has DHCP enabled. The CIDR of platform.openstack.machinesSubnet matches the CIDR of networking.machineNetwork . The installation program user has permission to create ports on this network, including ports with fixed IP addresses. Clusters that use custom subnets have the following limitations: If you plan to install a cluster that uses floating IP addresses, the platform.openstack.machinesSubnet subnet must be attached to a router that is connected to the externalNetwork network. If the platform.openstack.machinesSubnet value is set in the install-config.yaml file, the installation program does not create a private network or subnet for your RHOSP machines. You cannot use the platform.openstack.externalDNS property at the same time as a custom subnet. To add DNS to a cluster that uses a custom subnet, configure DNS on the RHOSP network. Note By default, the API VIP takes x.x.x.5 and the Ingress VIP takes x.x.x.7 from your network's CIDR block. To override these default values, set values for platform.openstack.apiVIP and platform.openstack.ingressVIP that are outside of the DHCP allocation pool. Important The CIDR ranges for networks are not adjustable after cluster installation. Red Hat does not provide direct guidance on determining the range during cluster installation because it requires careful consideration of the number of created pods per namespace. 19.4.11.7. Sample customized install-config.yaml file for RHOSP with Kuryr To deploy with Kuryr SDN instead of the default OpenShift SDN, you must modify the install-config.yaml file to include Kuryr as the desired networking.networkType and proceed with the default OpenShift Container Platform SDN installation steps. This sample install-config.yaml demonstrates all of the possible Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) customization options. Important This sample file is provided for reference only. You must obtain your install-config.yaml file by using the installation program. apiVersion: v1 baseDomain: example.com controlPlane: name: master platform: {} replicas: 3 compute: - name: worker platform: openstack: type: ml.large replicas: 3 metadata: name: example networking: clusterNetwork: - cidr: 10.128.0.0/14 hostPrefix: 23 machineNetwork: - cidr: 10.0.0.0/16 serviceNetwork: - 172.30.0.0/16 1 networkType: Kuryr platform: openstack: cloud: mycloud externalNetwork: external computeFlavor: m1.xlarge apiFloatingIP: 128.0.0.1 trunkSupport: true 2 octaviaSupport: true 3 pullSecret: '{"auths": ...}' sshKey: ssh-ed25519 AAAA... 1 The Amphora Octavia driver creates two ports per load balancer. As a result, the service subnet that the installer creates is twice the size of the CIDR that is specified as the value of the serviceNetwork property. The larger range is required to prevent IP address conflicts. 2 3 Both trunkSupport and octaviaSupport are automatically discovered by the installer, so there is no need to set them. But if your environment does not meet both requirements, Kuryr SDN will not properly work. Trunks are needed to connect the pods to the RHOSP network and Octavia is required to create the OpenShift Container Platform services. 19.4.11.8. Cluster deployment on RHOSP provider networks You can deploy your OpenShift Container Platform clusters on Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) with a primary network interface on a provider network. Provider networks are commonly used to give projects direct access to a public network that can be used to reach the internet. You can also share provider networks among projects as part of the network creation process. RHOSP provider networks map directly to an existing physical network in the data center. A RHOSP administrator must create them. In the following example, OpenShift Container Platform workloads are connected to a data center by using a provider network: OpenShift Container Platform clusters that are installed on provider networks do not require tenant networks or floating IP addresses. The installer does not create these resources during installation. Example provider network types include flat (untagged) and VLAN (802.1Q tagged). Note A cluster can support as many provider network connections as the network type allows. For example, VLAN networks typically support up to 4096 connections. You can learn more about provider and tenant networks in the RHOSP documentation . 19.4.11.8.1. RHOSP provider network requirements for cluster installation Before you install an OpenShift Container Platform cluster, your Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) deployment and provider network must meet a number of conditions: The RHOSP networking service (Neutron) is enabled and accessible through the RHOSP networking API. The RHOSP networking service has the port security and allowed address pairs extensions enabled . The provider network can be shared with other tenants. Tip Use the openstack network create command with the --share flag to create a network that can be shared. The RHOSP project that you use to install the cluster must own the provider network, as well as an appropriate subnet. Tip To create a network for a project that is named "openshift," enter the following command USD openstack network create --project openshift To create a subnet for a project that is named "openshift," enter the following command USD openstack subnet create --project openshift To learn more about creating networks on RHOSP, read the provider networks documentation . If the cluster is owned by the admin user, you must run the installer as that user to create ports on the network. Important Provider networks must be owned by the RHOSP project that is used to create the cluster. If they are not, the RHOSP Compute service (Nova) cannot request a port from that network. Verify that the provider network can reach the RHOSP metadata service IP address, which is 169.254.169.254 by default. Depending on your RHOSP SDN and networking service configuration, you might need to provide the route when you create the subnet. For example: USD openstack subnet create --dhcp --host-route destination=169.254.169.254/32,gateway=192.0.2.2 ... Optional: To secure the network, create role-based access control (RBAC) rules that limit network access to a single project. 19.4.11.8.2. Deploying a cluster that has a primary interface on a provider network You can deploy an OpenShift Container Platform cluster that has its primary network interface on an Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) provider network. Prerequisites Your Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) deployment is configured as described by "RHOSP provider network requirements for cluster installation". Procedure In a text editor, open the install-config.yaml file. Set the value of the platform.openstack.apiVIP property to the IP address for the API VIP. Set the value of the platform.openstack.ingressVIP property to the IP address for the Ingress VIP. Set the value of the platform.openstack.machinesSubnet property to the UUID of the provider network subnet. Set the value of the networking.machineNetwork.cidr property to the CIDR block of the provider network subnet. Important The platform.openstack.apiVIP and platform.openstack.ingressVIP properties must both be unassigned IP addresses from the networking.machineNetwork.cidr block. Section of an installation configuration file for a cluster that relies on a RHOSP provider network ... platform: openstack: apiVIP: 192.0.2.13 ingressVIP: 192.0.2.23 machinesSubnet: fa806b2f-ac49-4bce-b9db-124bc64209bf # ... networking: machineNetwork: - cidr: 192.0.2.0/24 Warning You cannot set the platform.openstack.externalNetwork or platform.openstack.externalDNS parameters while using a provider network for the primary network interface. When you deploy the cluster, the installer uses the install-config.yaml file to deploy the cluster on the provider network. Tip You can add additional networks, including provider networks, to the platform.openstack.additionalNetworkIDs list. After you deploy your cluster, you can attach pods to additional networks. For more information, see Understanding multiple networks . 19.4.11.9. Kuryr ports pools A Kuryr ports pool maintains a number of ports on standby for pod creation. Keeping ports on standby minimizes pod creation time. Without ports pools, Kuryr must explicitly request port creation or deletion whenever a pod is created or deleted. The Neutron ports that Kuryr uses are created in subnets that are tied to namespaces. These pod ports are also added as subports to the primary port of OpenShift Container Platform cluster nodes. Because Kuryr keeps each namespace in a separate subnet, a separate ports pool is maintained for each namespace-worker pair. Prior to installing a cluster, you can set the following parameters in the cluster-network-03-config.yml manifest file to configure ports pool behavior: The enablePortPoolsPrepopulation parameter controls pool prepopulation, which forces Kuryr to add Neutron ports to the pools when the first pod that is configured to use the dedicated network for pods is created in a namespace. The default value is false . The poolMinPorts parameter is the minimum number of free ports that are kept in the pool. The default value is 1 . The poolMaxPorts parameter is the maximum number of free ports that are kept in the pool. A value of 0 disables that upper bound. This is the default setting. If your OpenStack port quota is low, or you have a limited number of IP addresses on the pod network, consider setting this option to ensure that unneeded ports are deleted. The poolBatchPorts parameter defines the maximum number of Neutron ports that can be created at once. The default value is 3 . 19.4.11.10. Adjusting Kuryr ports pools during installation During installation, you can configure how Kuryr manages Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) Neutron ports to control the speed and efficiency of pod creation. Prerequisites Create and modify the install-config.yaml file. Procedure From a command line, create the manifest files: USD ./openshift-install create manifests --dir <installation_directory> 1 1 For <installation_directory> , specify the name of the directory that contains the install-config.yaml file for your cluster. Create a file that is named cluster-network-03-config.yml in the <installation_directory>/manifests/ directory: USD touch <installation_directory>/manifests/cluster-network-03-config.yml 1 1 For <installation_directory> , specify the directory name that contains the manifests/ directory for your cluster. After creating the file, several network configuration files are in the manifests/ directory, as shown: USD ls <installation_directory>/manifests/cluster-network-* Example output cluster-network-01-crd.yml cluster-network-02-config.yml cluster-network-03-config.yml Open the cluster-network-03-config.yml file in an editor, and enter a custom resource (CR) that describes the Cluster Network Operator configuration that you want: USD oc edit networks.operator.openshift.io cluster Edit the settings to meet your requirements. The following file is provided as an example: apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1 kind: Network metadata: name: cluster spec: clusterNetwork: - cidr: 10.128.0.0/14 hostPrefix: 23 serviceNetwork: - 172.30.0.0/16 defaultNetwork: type: Kuryr kuryrConfig: enablePortPoolsPrepopulation: false 1 poolMinPorts: 1 2 poolBatchPorts: 3 3 poolMaxPorts: 5 4 openstackServiceNetwork: 172.30.0.0/15 5 1 Set enablePortPoolsPrepopulation to true to make Kuryr create new Neutron ports when the first pod on the network for pods is created in a namespace. This setting raises the Neutron ports quota but can reduce the time that is required to spawn pods. The default value is false . 2 Kuryr creates new ports for a pool if the number of free ports in that pool is lower than the value of poolMinPorts . The default value is 1 . 3 poolBatchPorts controls the number of new ports that are created if the number of free ports is lower than the value of poolMinPorts . The default value is 3 . 4 If the number of free ports in a pool is higher than the value of poolMaxPorts , Kuryr deletes them until the number matches that value. Setting this value to 0 disables this upper bound, preventing pools from shrinking. The default value is 0 . 5 The openStackServiceNetwork parameter defines the CIDR range of the network from which IP addresses are allocated to RHOSP Octavia's LoadBalancers. If this parameter is used with the Amphora driver, Octavia takes two IP addresses from this network for each load balancer: one for OpenShift and the other for VRRP connections. Because these IP addresses are managed by OpenShift Container Platform and Neutron respectively, they must come from different pools. Therefore, the value of openStackServiceNetwork must be at least twice the size of the value of serviceNetwork , and the value of serviceNetwork must overlap entirely with the range that is defined by openStackServiceNetwork . The CNO verifies that VRRP IP addresses that are taken from the range that is defined by this parameter do not overlap with the range that is defined by the serviceNetwork parameter. If this parameter is not set, the CNO uses an expanded value of serviceNetwork that is determined by decrementing the prefix size by 1. Save the cluster-network-03-config.yml file, and exit the text editor. Optional: Back up the manifests/cluster-network-03-config.yml file. The installation program deletes the manifests/ directory while creating the cluster. 19.4.12. 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. 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. Note If you plan to install an OpenShift Container Platform cluster that uses FIPS validated or Modules In Process cryptographic libraries on the x86_64 architecture, do not create a key that uses the ed25519 algorithm. Instead, create a key that uses the rsa or ecdsa algorithm. 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 Note If your cluster is in FIPS mode, only use FIPS-compliant algorithms to generate the SSH key. The key must be either RSA or ECDSA. 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. 19.4.13. Enabling access to the environment At deployment, all OpenShift Container Platform machines are created in a Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP)-tenant network. Therefore, they are not accessible directly in most RHOSP deployments. You can configure OpenShift Container Platform API and application access by using floating IP addresses (FIPs) during installation. You can also complete an installation without configuring FIPs, but the installer will not configure a way to reach the API or applications externally. 19.4.13.1. Enabling access with floating IP addresses Create floating IP (FIP) addresses for external access to the OpenShift Container Platform API and cluster applications. Procedure Using the Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) CLI, create the API FIP: USD openstack floating ip create --description "API <cluster_name>.<base_domain>" <external_network> Using the Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) CLI, create the apps, or Ingress, FIP: USD openstack floating ip create --description "Ingress <cluster_name>.<base_domain>" <external_network> Add records that follow these patterns to your DNS server for the API and Ingress FIPs: api.<cluster_name>.<base_domain>. IN A <API_FIP> *.apps.<cluster_name>.<base_domain>. IN A <apps_FIP> Note If you do not control the DNS server, you can access the cluster by adding the cluster domain names such as the following to your /etc/hosts file: <api_floating_ip> api.<cluster_name>.<base_domain> <application_floating_ip> grafana-openshift-monitoring.apps.<cluster_name>.<base_domain> <application_floating_ip> prometheus-k8s-openshift-monitoring.apps.<cluster_name>.<base_domain> <application_floating_ip> oauth-openshift.apps.<cluster_name>.<base_domain> <application_floating_ip> console-openshift-console.apps.<cluster_name>.<base_domain> application_floating_ip integrated-oauth-server-openshift-authentication.apps.<cluster_name>.<base_domain> The cluster domain names in the /etc/hosts file grant access to the web console and the monitoring interface of your cluster locally. You can also use the kubectl or oc . You can access the user applications by using the additional entries pointing to the <application_floating_ip>. This action makes the API and applications accessible to only you, which is not suitable for production deployment, but does allow installation for development and testing. Add the FIPs to the install-config.yaml file as the values of the following parameters: platform.openstack.ingressFloatingIP platform.openstack.apiFloatingIP If you use these values, you must also enter an external network as the value of the platform.openstack.externalNetwork parameter in the install-config.yaml file. Tip You can make OpenShift Container Platform resources available outside of the cluster by assigning a floating IP address and updating your firewall configuration. 19.4.13.2. Completing installation without floating IP addresses You can install OpenShift Container Platform on Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) without providing floating IP addresses. In the install-config.yaml file, do not define the following parameters: platform.openstack.ingressFloatingIP platform.openstack.apiFloatingIP If you cannot provide an external network, you can also leave platform.openstack.externalNetwork blank. If you do not provide a value for platform.openstack.externalNetwork , a router is not created for you, and, without additional action, the installer will fail to retrieve an image from Glance. You must configure external connectivity on your own. If you run the installer from a system that cannot reach the cluster API due to a lack of floating IP addresses or name resolution, installation fails. To prevent installation failure in these cases, you can use a proxy network or run the installer from a system that is on the same network as your machines. Note You can enable name resolution by creating DNS records for the API and Ingress ports. For example: api.<cluster_name>.<base_domain>. IN A <api_port_IP> *.apps.<cluster_name>.<base_domain>. IN A <ingress_port_IP> If you do not control the DNS server, you can add the record to your /etc/hosts file. This action makes the API accessible to only you, which is not suitable for production deployment but does allow installation for development and testing. 19.4.14. 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 Obtain the OpenShift Container Platform installation program and the pull secret for your cluster. 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 . Note If the cloud provider account that you configured on your host does not have sufficient permissions to deploy the cluster, the installation process stops, and the missing permissions are displayed. 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. 19.4.15. Verifying cluster status You can verify your OpenShift Container Platform cluster's status during or after installation. Procedure In the cluster environment, export the administrator's kubeconfig file: 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. 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. View the control plane and compute machines created after a deployment: USD oc get nodes View your cluster's version: USD oc get clusterversion View your Operators' status: USD oc get clusteroperator View all running pods in the cluster: USD oc get pods -A 19.4.16. 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 See Accessing the web console for more details about accessing and understanding the OpenShift Container Platform web console. 19.4.17. Telemetry access for OpenShift Container Platform In OpenShift Container Platform 4.11, 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 See About remote health monitoring for more information about the Telemetry service 19.4.18. steps Customize your cluster . If necessary, you can opt out of remote health reporting . If you need to enable external access to node ports, configure ingress cluster traffic by using a node port . If you did not configure RHOSP to accept application traffic over floating IP addresses, configure RHOSP access with floating IP addresses . 19.5. Installing a cluster on OpenStack on your own infrastructure In OpenShift Container Platform version 4.11, you can install a cluster on Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) that runs on user-provisioned infrastructure. Using your own infrastructure allows you to integrate your cluster with existing infrastructure and modifications. The process requires more labor on your part than installer-provisioned installations, because you must create all RHOSP resources, like Nova servers, Neutron ports, and security groups. However, Red Hat provides Ansible playbooks to help you in the deployment process. 19.5.1. 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 verified that OpenShift Container Platform 4.11 is compatible with your RHOSP version by using the Supported platforms for OpenShift clusters section. You can also compare platform support across different versions by viewing the OpenShift Container Platform on RHOSP support matrix . You have an RHOSP account where you want to install OpenShift Container Platform. You understand performance and scalability practices for cluster scaling, control plane sizing, and etcd. For more information, see Recommended host practices . On the machine from which you run the installation program, you have: A single directory in which you can keep the files you create during the installation process Python 3 19.5.2. Internet access for OpenShift Container Platform In OpenShift Container Platform 4.11, 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. 19.5.3. Resource guidelines for installing OpenShift Container Platform on RHOSP To support an OpenShift Container Platform installation, your Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) quota must meet the following requirements: Table 19.13. Recommended resources for a default OpenShift Container Platform cluster on RHOSP Resource Value Floating IP addresses 3 Ports 15 Routers 1 Subnets 1 RAM 88 GB vCPUs 22 Volume storage 275 GB Instances 7 Security groups 3 Security group rules 60 Server groups 2 - plus 1 for each additional availability zone in each machine pool A cluster might function with fewer than recommended resources, but its performance is not guaranteed. Important If RHOSP object storage (Swift) is available and operated by a user account with the swiftoperator role, it is used as the default backend for the OpenShift Container Platform image registry. In this case, the volume storage requirement is 175 GB. Swift space requirements vary depending on the size of the image registry. Note By default, your security group and security group rule quotas might be low. If you encounter problems, run openstack quota set --secgroups 3 --secgroup-rules 60 <project> as an administrator to increase them. An OpenShift Container Platform deployment comprises control plane machines, compute machines, and a bootstrap machine. 19.5.3.1. Control plane machines By default, the OpenShift Container Platform installation process creates three control plane machines. Each machine requires: An instance from the RHOSP quota A port from the RHOSP quota A flavor with at least 16 GB memory and 4 vCPUs At least 100 GB storage space from the RHOSP quota 19.5.3.2. Compute machines By default, the OpenShift Container Platform installation process creates three compute machines. Each machine requires: An instance from the RHOSP quota A port from the RHOSP quota A flavor with at least 8 GB memory and 2 vCPUs At least 100 GB storage space from the RHOSP quota Tip Compute machines host the applications that you run on OpenShift Container Platform; aim to run as many as you can. 19.5.3.3. Bootstrap machine During installation, a bootstrap machine is temporarily provisioned to stand up the control plane. After the production control plane is ready, the bootstrap machine is deprovisioned. The bootstrap machine requires: An instance from the RHOSP quota A port from the RHOSP quota A flavor with at least 16 GB memory and 4 vCPUs At least 100 GB storage space from the RHOSP quota 19.5.4. Downloading playbook dependencies The Ansible playbooks that simplify the installation process on user-provisioned infrastructure require several Python modules. On the machine where you will run the installer, add the modules' repositories and then download them. Note These instructions assume that you are using Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8. Prerequisites Python 3 is installed on your machine. Procedure On a command line, add the repositories: Register with Red Hat Subscription Manager: USD sudo subscription-manager register # If not done already Pull the latest subscription data: USD sudo subscription-manager attach --pool=USDYOUR_POOLID # If not done already Disable the current repositories: USD sudo subscription-manager repos --disable=* # If not done already Add the required repositories: USD sudo subscription-manager repos \ --enable=rhel-8-for-x86_64-baseos-rpms \ --enable=openstack-16-tools-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms \ --enable=ansible-2.9-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms \ --enable=rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms Install the modules: USD sudo yum install python3-openstackclient ansible python3-openstacksdk python3-netaddr Ensure that the python command points to python3 : USD sudo alternatives --set python /usr/bin/python3 19.5.5. Downloading the installation playbooks Download Ansible playbooks that you can use to install OpenShift Container Platform on your own Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) infrastructure. Prerequisites The curl command-line tool is available on your machine. Procedure To download the playbooks to your working directory, run the following script from a command line: USD xargs -n 1 curl -O <<< ' https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openshift/installer/release-4.11/upi/openstack/bootstrap.yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openshift/installer/release-4.11/upi/openstack/common.yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openshift/installer/release-4.11/upi/openstack/compute-nodes.yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openshift/installer/release-4.11/upi/openstack/control-plane.yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openshift/installer/release-4.11/upi/openstack/inventory.yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openshift/installer/release-4.11/upi/openstack/network.yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openshift/installer/release-4.11/upi/openstack/security-groups.yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openshift/installer/release-4.11/upi/openstack/down-bootstrap.yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openshift/installer/release-4.11/upi/openstack/down-compute-nodes.yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openshift/installer/release-4.11/upi/openstack/down-control-plane.yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openshift/installer/release-4.11/upi/openstack/down-load-balancers.yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openshift/installer/release-4.11/upi/openstack/down-network.yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openshift/installer/release-4.11/upi/openstack/down-security-groups.yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openshift/installer/release-4.11/upi/openstack/down-containers.yaml' The playbooks are downloaded to your machine. Important During the installation process, you can modify the playbooks to configure your deployment. Retain all playbooks for the life of your cluster. You must have the playbooks to remove your OpenShift Container Platform cluster from RHOSP. Important You must match any edits you make in the bootstrap.yaml , compute-nodes.yaml , control-plane.yaml , network.yaml , and security-groups.yaml files to the corresponding playbooks that are prefixed with down- . For example, edits to the bootstrap.yaml file must be reflected in the down-bootstrap.yaml file, too. If you do not edit both files, the supported cluster removal process will fail. 19.5.6. Obtaining the installation program Before you install OpenShift Container Platform, download the installation file on a local computer. 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. 19.5.7. 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. Note If you plan to install an OpenShift Container Platform cluster that uses FIPS validated or Modules In Process cryptographic libraries on the x86_64 architecture, do not create a key that uses the ed25519 algorithm. Instead, create a key that uses the rsa or ecdsa algorithm. 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 Note If your cluster is in FIPS mode, only use FIPS-compliant algorithms to generate the SSH key. The key must be either RSA or ECDSA. 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. 19.5.8. Creating the Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) image The OpenShift Container Platform installation program requires that a Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) image be present in the Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) cluster. Retrieve the latest RHCOS image, then upload it using the RHOSP CLI. Prerequisites The RHOSP CLI is installed. Procedure Log in to the Red Hat Customer Portal's Product Downloads page . Under Version , select the most recent release of OpenShift Container Platform 4.11 for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8. Important The RHCOS images might not change with every release of OpenShift Container Platform. You must download images with the highest version that is less than or equal to the OpenShift Container Platform version that you install. Use the image versions that match your OpenShift Container Platform version if they are available. Download the Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) - OpenStack Image (QCOW) . Decompress the image. Note You must decompress the RHOSP image before the cluster can use it. The name of the downloaded file might not contain a compression extension, like .gz or .tgz . To find out if or how the file is compressed, in a command line, enter: USD file <name_of_downloaded_file> From the image that you downloaded, create an image that is named rhcos in your cluster by using the RHOSP CLI: USD openstack image create --container-format=bare --disk-format=qcow2 --file rhcos-USD{RHCOS_VERSION}-openstack.qcow2 rhcos Important Depending on your RHOSP environment, you might be able to upload the image in either .raw or .qcow2 formats . If you use Ceph, you must use the .raw format. Warning If the installation program finds multiple images with the same name, it chooses one of them at random. To avoid this behavior, create unique names for resources in RHOSP. After you upload the image to RHOSP, it is usable in the installation process. 19.5.9. Verifying external network access The OpenShift Container Platform installation process requires external network access. You must provide an external network value to it, or deployment fails. Before you begin the process, verify that a network with the external router type exists in Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP). Prerequisites Configure OpenStack's networking service to have DHCP agents forward instances' DNS queries Procedure Using the RHOSP CLI, verify the name and ID of the 'External' network: USD openstack network list --long -c ID -c Name -c "Router Type" Example output +--------------------------------------+----------------+-------------+ | ID | Name | Router Type | +--------------------------------------+----------------+-------------+ | 148a8023-62a7-4672-b018-003462f8d7dc | public_network | External | +--------------------------------------+----------------+-------------+ A network with an external router type appears in the network list. If at least one does not, see Creating a default floating IP network and Creating a default provider network . Note If the Neutron trunk service plugin is enabled, a trunk port is created by default. For more information, see Neutron trunk port . 19.5.10. Enabling access to the environment At deployment, all OpenShift Container Platform machines are created in a Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP)-tenant network. Therefore, they are not accessible directly in most RHOSP deployments. You can configure OpenShift Container Platform API and application access by using floating IP addresses (FIPs) during installation. You can also complete an installation without configuring FIPs, but the installer will not configure a way to reach the API or applications externally. 19.5.10.1. Enabling access with floating IP addresses Create floating IP (FIP) addresses for external access to the OpenShift Container Platform API, cluster applications, and the bootstrap process. Procedure Using the Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) CLI, create the API FIP: USD openstack floating ip create --description "API <cluster_name>.<base_domain>" <external_network> Using the Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) CLI, create the apps, or Ingress, FIP: USD openstack floating ip create --description "Ingress <cluster_name>.<base_domain>" <external_network> By using the Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) CLI, create the bootstrap FIP: USD openstack floating ip create --description "bootstrap machine" <external_network> Add records that follow these patterns to your DNS server for the API and Ingress FIPs: api.<cluster_name>.<base_domain>. IN A <API_FIP> *.apps.<cluster_name>.<base_domain>. IN A <apps_FIP> Note If you do not control the DNS server, you can access the cluster by adding the cluster domain names such as the following to your /etc/hosts file: <api_floating_ip> api.<cluster_name>.<base_domain> <application_floating_ip> grafana-openshift-monitoring.apps.<cluster_name>.<base_domain> <application_floating_ip> prometheus-k8s-openshift-monitoring.apps.<cluster_name>.<base_domain> <application_floating_ip> oauth-openshift.apps.<cluster_name>.<base_domain> <application_floating_ip> console-openshift-console.apps.<cluster_name>.<base_domain> application_floating_ip integrated-oauth-server-openshift-authentication.apps.<cluster_name>.<base_domain> The cluster domain names in the /etc/hosts file grant access to the web console and the monitoring interface of your cluster locally. You can also use the kubectl or oc . You can access the user applications by using the additional entries pointing to the <application_floating_ip>. This action makes the API and applications accessible to only you, which is not suitable for production deployment, but does allow installation for development and testing. Add the FIPs to the inventory.yaml file as the values of the following variables: os_api_fip os_bootstrap_fip os_ingress_fip If you use these values, you must also enter an external network as the value of the os_external_network variable in the inventory.yaml file. Tip You can make OpenShift Container Platform resources available outside of the cluster by assigning a floating IP address and updating your firewall configuration. 19.5.10.2. Completing installation without floating IP addresses You can install OpenShift Container Platform on Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) without providing floating IP addresses. In the inventory.yaml file, do not define the following variables: os_api_fip os_bootstrap_fip os_ingress_fip If you cannot provide an external network, you can also leave os_external_network blank. If you do not provide a value for os_external_network , a router is not created for you, and, without additional action, the installer will fail to retrieve an image from Glance. Later in the installation process, when you create network resources, you must configure external connectivity on your own. If you run the installer with the wait-for command from a system that cannot reach the cluster API due to a lack of floating IP addresses or name resolution, installation fails. To prevent installation failure in these cases, you can use a proxy network or run the installer from a system that is on the same network as your machines. Note You can enable name resolution by creating DNS records for the API and Ingress ports. For example: api.<cluster_name>.<base_domain>. IN A <api_port_IP> *.apps.<cluster_name>.<base_domain>. IN A <ingress_port_IP> If you do not control the DNS server, you can add the record to your /etc/hosts file. This action makes the API accessible to only you, which is not suitable for production deployment but does allow installation for development and testing. 19.5.11. Defining parameters for the installation program The OpenShift Container Platform installation program relies on a file that is called clouds.yaml . The file describes Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) configuration parameters, including the project name, log in information, and authorization service URLs. Procedure Create the clouds.yaml file: If your RHOSP distribution includes the Horizon web UI, generate a clouds.yaml file in it. Important Remember to add a password to the auth field. You can also keep secrets in a separate file from clouds.yaml . OpenShift Container Platform does not support application credentials. If your RHOSP distribution does not include the Horizon web UI, or you do not want to use Horizon, create the file yourself. For detailed information about clouds.yaml , see Config files in the RHOSP documentation. clouds: shiftstack: auth: auth_url: http://10.10.14.42:5000/v3 project_name: shiftstack username: <username> password: <password> user_domain_name: Default project_domain_name: Default dev-env: region_name: RegionOne auth: username: <username> password: <password> project_name: 'devonly' auth_url: 'https://10.10.14.22:5001/v2.0' If your RHOSP installation uses self-signed certificate authority (CA) certificates for endpoint authentication: Copy the certificate authority file to your machine. Add the cacerts key to the clouds.yaml file. The value must be an absolute, non-root-accessible path to the CA certificate: clouds: shiftstack: ... cacert: "/etc/pki/ca-trust/source/anchors/ca.crt.pem" Tip After you run the installer with a custom CA certificate, you can update the certificate by editing the value of the ca-cert.pem key in the cloud-provider-config keymap. On a command line, run: USD oc edit configmap -n openshift-config cloud-provider-config Place the clouds.yaml file in one of the following locations: The value of the OS_CLIENT_CONFIG_FILE environment variable The current directory A Unix-specific user configuration directory, for example ~/.config/openstack/clouds.yaml A Unix-specific site configuration directory, for example /etc/openstack/clouds.yaml The installation program searches for clouds.yaml in that order. 19.5.12. Creating the installation configuration file You can customize the OpenShift Container Platform cluster you install on Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP). 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. 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 openstack as the platform to target. Specify the Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) external network name to use for installing the cluster. Specify the floating IP address to use for external access to the OpenShift API. Specify a RHOSP flavor with at least 16 GB RAM to use for control plane nodes and 8 GB RAM for compute nodes. Select the base domain to deploy the cluster to. All DNS records will be sub-domains of this base and will also include the cluster name. Enter a name for your cluster. The name must be 14 or fewer characters long. 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. You now have the file install-config.yaml in the directory that you specified. 19.5.13. 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. 19.5.13.1. Required configuration parameters Required installation configuration parameters are described in the following table: Table 19.14. Required parameters Parameter Description Values apiVersion The API version for the install-config.yaml content. The current version is v1 . The installer 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. Object metadata.name The name of the cluster. DNS records for the cluster are all subdomains of {{.metadata.name}}.{{.baseDomain}} . String of lowercase letters, hyphens ( - ), and periods ( . ), such as dev . The string must be 14 characters or fewer long. platform The configuration for the specific platform upon which to perform the installation: alibabacloud , aws , baremetal , azure , gcp , ibmcloud , nutanix , openstack , ovirt , vsphere , or {} . For additional information about platform.<platform> parameters, consult the table for your specific platform that follows. Object pullSecret Get a pull secret from the Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager to authenticate downloading container images for OpenShift Container Platform components from services such as Quay.io. { "auths":{ "cloud.openshift.com":{ "auth":"b3Blb=", "email":"you@example.com" }, "quay.io":{ "auth":"b3Blb=", "email":"you@example.com" } } } 19.5.13.2. 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 19.15. 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 cluster network provider Container Network Interface (CNI) cluster network provider to install. Either OpenShiftSDN or OVNKubernetes . OpenShiftSDN is a CNI provider for all-Linux networks. OVNKubernetes is a CNI provider for Linux networks and hybrid networks that contain both Linux and Windows servers. The default value is OpenShiftSDN . networking.clusterNetwork The IP address blocks for pods. The default value is 10.128.0.0/14 with a host prefix of /23 . If you specify multiple IP address blocks, the blocks must not overlap. An array of objects.

An IP address block in Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) notation. The prefix length for an IPv4 block is between 0 and 32 . networking.clusterNetwork.hostPrefix The subnet prefix length to assign to each individual node. For example, if hostPrefix is set to 23 then each node is assigned a /23 subnet out of the given cidr . A hostPrefix value of 23 provides 510 (2^(32 - 23) - 2) pod IP addresses. A subnet prefix. The default value is 23 . networking.serviceNetwork The IP address block for services. The default value is 172.30.0.0/16 . The OpenShift SDN and OVN-Kubernetes network providers support only a single IP address block for the service network. An array with an IP address block in CIDR format. For example: networking: serviceNetwork: - 172.30.0.0/16 networking.machineNetwork The IP address blocks for machines. If you specify multiple IP address blocks, the blocks must not overlap. An array of objects. For example: networking: machineNetwork: - cidr: 10.0.0.0/16 networking.machineNetwork.cidr Required if you use networking.machineNetwork . An IP address block. The default value is 10.0.0.0/16 for all platforms other than libvirt. For libvirt, the default value is 192.168.126.0/24 . An IP network block in CIDR notation. For example, 10.0.0.0/16 . Note Set the networking.machineNetwork to match the CIDR that the preferred NIC resides in. 19.5.13.3. Optional configuration parameters Optional installation configuration parameters are described in the following table: Table 19.16. Optional parameters Parameter Description Values additionalTrustBundle A PEM-encoded X.509 certificate bundle that is added to the nodes' trusted certificate store. This trust bundle may also be used when a proxy has been configured. String capabilities Controls the installation of optional core cluster components. You can reduce the footprint of your OpenShift Container Platform cluster by disabling optional components. String array capabilities.baselineCapabilitySet Selects an initial set of optional capabilities to enable. Valid values are None , v4.11 and vCurrent . v4.11 enables the baremetal Operator, the marketplace Operator, and the openshift-samples content. vCurrent installs the recommended set of capabilities for the current version of OpenShift Container Platform. The default value is vCurrent . String capabilities.additionalEnabledCapabilities Extends the set of optional capabilities beyond what you specify in baselineCapabilitySet . Valid values are baremetal , marketplace and openshift-samples . You may specify multiple capabilities in this parameter. String array cgroupsV2 Enables Linux control groups version 2 (cgroups v2) on specific nodes in your cluster. The OpenShift Container Platform process for enabling cgroups v2 disables all cgroup version 1 controllers and hierarchies. The OpenShift Container Platform cgroups version 2 feature is in Developer Preview and is not supported by Red Hat at this time. true compute The configuration for the machines that comprise the compute nodes. Array of MachinePool objects. compute.architecture Determines the instruction set architecture of the machines in the pool. Currently, clusters with varied architectures are not supported. All pools must specify the same architecture. Valid values are amd64 (the default). String compute.hyperthreading Whether to enable or disable simultaneous multithreading, or hyperthreading , on compute machines. By default, simultaneous multithreading is enabled to increase the performance of your machines' cores. Important If you disable simultaneous multithreading, ensure that your capacity planning accounts for the dramatically decreased machine performance. Enabled or Disabled compute.name Required if you use compute . The name of the machine pool. worker compute.platform Required if you use compute . Use this parameter to specify the cloud provider to host the worker machines.

The only supported value is 3 , which is the default value. credentialsMode The Cloud Credential Operator (CCO) mode. If no mode is specified, the CCO dynamically tries to determine the capabilities of the provided credentials, with a preference for mint mode on the platforms where multiple modes are supported. Note Not all CCO modes are supported for all cloud providers. For more information on CCO modes, see the Cloud Credential Operator entry in the Cluster Operators reference content. Note If your AWS account has service control policies (SCP) enabled, you must configure the credentialsMode parameter to Mint , Passthrough or Manual . Mint , Passthrough , Manual or an empty string ( "" ). fips Enable or disable FIPS mode. The default is false (disabled). If FIPS mode is enabled, the Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) machines that OpenShift Container Platform runs on bypass the default Kubernetes cryptography suite and use the cryptography modules that are provided with RHCOS instead. Important To enable FIPS mode for your cluster, you must run the installation program from a Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) computer configured to operate in FIPS mode. For more information about configuring FIPS mode on RHEL, see Installing the system in FIPS mode . The use of FIPS validated or Modules In Process cryptographic libraries is only supported on OpenShift Container Platform deployments on the x86_64 architecture.

A list of one or more UUIDs as strings. For example, 7ee219f3-d2e9-48a1-96c2-e7429f1b0da7 . compute.platform.openstack.zones RHOSP Compute (Nova) availability zones (AZs) to install machines on. If this parameter is not set, the installer relies on the default settings for Nova that the RHOSP administrator configured. On clusters that use Kuryr, RHOSP Octavia does not support availability zones. Load balancers and, if you are using the Amphora provider driver, OpenShift Container Platform services that rely on Amphora VMs, are not created according to the value of this property. A list of strings. For example, ["zone-1", "zone-2"] . compute.platform.openstack.rootVolume.zones For compute machines, the availability zone to install root volumes on. If you do not set a value for this parameter, the installer selects the default availability zone. A list of strings, for example ["zone-1", "zone-2"] . compute.platform.openstack.serverGroupPolicy Server group policy to apply to the group that will contain the compute machines in the pool. You cannot change server group policies or affiliations after creation. Supported options include anti-affinity , soft-affinity , and soft-anti-affinity . The default value is soft-anti-affinity . An affinity policy prevents migrations and therefore affects RHOSP upgrades. The affinity policy is not supported. If you use a strict anti-affinity policy, an additional RHOSP host is required during instance migration. A server group policy to apply to the machine pool. For example, soft-affinity . controlPlane.platform.openstack.additionalNetworkIDs Additional networks that are associated with control plane machines. Allowed address pairs are not created for additional networks. A list of one or more UUIDs as strings. For example, fa806b2f-ac49-4bce-b9db-124bc64209bf . controlPlane.platform.openstack.additionalSecurityGroupIDs Additional security groups that are associated with control plane machines. A list of one or more UUIDs as strings. For example, 7ee219f3-d2e9-48a1-96c2-e7429f1b0da7 . controlPlane.platform.openstack.zones RHOSP Compute (Nova) availability zones (AZs) to install machines on. If this parameter is not set, the installer relies on the default settings for Nova that the RHOSP administrator configured. On clusters that use Kuryr, RHOSP Octavia does not support availability zones. Load balancers and, if you are using the Amphora provider driver, OpenShift Container Platform services that rely on Amphora VMs, are not created according to the value of this property. A list of strings. For example, ["zone-1", "zone-2"] . controlPlane.platform.openstack.rootVolume.zones For control plane machines, the availability zone to install root volumes on. If you do not set this value, the installer selects the default availability zone. A list of strings, for example ["zone-1", "zone-2"] . controlPlane.platform.openstack.serverGroupPolicy Server group policy to apply to the group that will contain the control plane machines in the pool. You cannot change server group policies or affiliations after creation. Supported options include anti-affinity , soft-affinity , and soft-anti-affinity . The default value is soft-anti-affinity . An affinity policy prevents migrations, and therefore affects RHOSP upgrades. The affinity policy is not supported. If you use a strict anti-affinity policy, an additional RHOSP host is required during instance migration. A server group policy to apply to the machine pool. For example, soft-affinity . platform.openstack.clusterOSImage The location from which the installer downloads the RHCOS image. You must set this parameter to perform an installation in a restricted network. An HTTP or HTTPS URL, optionally with an SHA-256 checksum. For example, http://mirror.example.com/images/rhcos-43.81.201912131630.0-openstack.x86_64.qcow2.gz?sha256=ffebbd68e8a1f2a245ca19522c16c86f67f9ac8e4e0c1f0a812b068b16f7265d . The value can also be the name of an existing Glance image, for example my-rhcos . platform.openstack.clusterOSImageProperties Properties to add to the installer-uploaded ClusterOSImage in Glance. This property is ignored if platform.openstack.clusterOSImage is set to an existing Glance image. You can use this property to exceed the default persistent volume (PV) limit for RHOSP of 26 PVs per node. To exceed the limit, set the hw_scsi_model property value to virtio-scsi and the hw_disk_bus value to scsi . You can also use this property to enable the QEMU guest agent by including the hw_qemu_guest_agent property with a value of yes . A list of key-value string pairs. For example, ["hw_scsi_model": "virtio-scsi", "hw_disk_bus": "scsi"] . platform.openstack.defaultMachinePlatform The default machine pool platform configuration. { "type": "ml.large", "rootVolume": { "size": 30, "type": "performance" } } platform.openstack.ingressFloatingIP An existing floating IP address to associate with the Ingress port. To use this property, you must also define the platform.openstack.externalNetwork property. An IP address, for example 128.0.0.1 . platform.openstack.apiFloatingIP An existing floating IP address to associate with the API load balancer. To use this property, you must also define the platform.openstack.externalNetwork property. An IP address, for example 128.0.0.1 . platform.openstack.externalDNS IP addresses for external DNS servers that cluster instances use for DNS resolution. A list of IP addresses as strings. For example, ["8.8.8.8", "192.168.1.12"] . platform.openstack.machinesSubnet The UUID of a RHOSP subnet that the cluster's nodes use. Nodes and virtual IP (VIP) ports are created on this subnet. The first item in networking.machineNetwork must match the value of machinesSubnet . If you deploy to a custom subnet, you cannot specify an external DNS server to the OpenShift Container Platform installer. Instead, add DNS to the subnet in RHOSP . A UUID as a string. For example, fa806b2f-ac49-4bce-b9db-124bc64209bf . 19.5.13.6. Custom subnets in RHOSP deployments Optionally, you can deploy a cluster on a Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) subnet of your choice. The subnet's GUID is passed as the value of platform.openstack.machinesSubnet in the install-config.yaml file. This subnet is used as the cluster's primary subnet. By default, nodes and ports are created on it. You can create nodes and ports on a different RHOSP subnet by setting the value of the platform.openstack.machinesSubnet property to the subnet's UUID. Before you run the OpenShift Container Platform installer with a custom subnet, verify that your configuration meets the following requirements: The subnet that is used by platform.openstack.machinesSubnet has DHCP enabled. The CIDR of platform.openstack.machinesSubnet matches the CIDR of networking.machineNetwork . The installation program user has permission to create ports on this network, including ports with fixed IP addresses. Clusters that use custom subnets have the following limitations: If you plan to install a cluster that uses floating IP addresses, the platform.openstack.machinesSubnet subnet must be attached to a router that is connected to the externalNetwork network. If the platform.openstack.machinesSubnet value is set in the install-config.yaml file, the installation program does not create a private network or subnet for your RHOSP machines. You cannot use the platform.openstack.externalDNS property at the same time as a custom subnet. To add DNS to a cluster that uses a custom subnet, configure DNS on the RHOSP network. Note By default, the API VIP takes x.x.x.5 and the Ingress VIP takes x.x.x.7 from your network's CIDR block. To override these default values, set values for platform.openstack.apiVIP and platform.openstack.ingressVIP that are outside of the DHCP allocation pool. Important The CIDR ranges for networks are not adjustable after cluster installation. Red Hat does not provide direct guidance on determining the range during cluster installation because it requires careful consideration of the number of created pods per namespace. 19.5.13.7. Sample customized install-config.yaml file for RHOSP This sample install-config.yaml demonstrates all of the possible Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) customization options. Important This sample file is provided for reference only. You must obtain your install-config.yaml file by using the installation program. apiVersion: v1 baseDomain: example.com controlPlane: name: master platform: {} replicas: 3 compute: - name: worker platform: openstack: type: ml.large replicas: 3 metadata: name: example networking: clusterNetwork: - cidr: 10.128.0.0/14 hostPrefix: 23 machineNetwork: - cidr: 10.0.0.0/16 serviceNetwork: - 172.30.0.0/16 networkType: OpenShiftSDN platform: openstack: cloud: mycloud externalNetwork: external computeFlavor: m1.xlarge apiFloatingIP: 128.0.0.1 fips: false pullSecret: '{"auths": ...}' sshKey: ssh-ed25519 AAAA... 19.5.13.8. Setting a custom subnet for machines The IP range that the installation program uses by default might not match the Neutron subnet that you create when you install OpenShift Container Platform. If necessary, update the CIDR value for new machines by editing the installation configuration file. Prerequisites You have the install-config.yaml file that was generated by the OpenShift Container Platform installation program. Procedure On a command line, browse to the directory that contains install-config.yaml . From that directory, either run a script to edit the install-config.yaml file or update the file manually: To set the value by using a script, run: USD python -c ' import yaml; path = "install-config.yaml"; data = yaml.safe_load(open(path)); data["networking"]["machineNetwork"] = [{"cidr": "192.168.0.0/18"}]; 1 open(path, "w").write(yaml.dump(data, default_flow_style=False))' 1 Insert a value that matches your intended Neutron subnet, e.g. 192.0.2.0/24 . To set the value manually, open the file and set the value of networking.machineCIDR to something that matches your intended Neutron subnet. 19.5.13.9. Emptying compute machine pools To proceed with an installation that uses your own infrastructure, set the number of compute machines in the installation configuration file to zero. Later, you create these machines manually. Prerequisites You have the install-config.yaml file that was generated by the OpenShift Container Platform installation program. Procedure On a command line, browse to the directory that contains install-config.yaml . From that directory, either run a script to edit the install-config.yaml file or update the file manually: To set the value by using a script, run: USD python -c ' import yaml; path = "install-config.yaml"; data = yaml.safe_load(open(path)); data["compute"][0]["replicas"] = 0; open(path, "w").write(yaml.dump(data, default_flow_style=False))' To set the value manually, open the file and set the value of compute.<first entry>.replicas to 0 . 19.5.13.10. Cluster deployment on RHOSP provider networks You can deploy your OpenShift Container Platform clusters on Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) with a primary network interface on a provider network. Provider networks are commonly used to give projects direct access to a public network that can be used to reach the internet. You can also share provider networks among projects as part of the network creation process. RHOSP provider networks map directly to an existing physical network in the data center. A RHOSP administrator must create them. In the following example, OpenShift Container Platform workloads are connected to a data center by using a provider network: OpenShift Container Platform clusters that are installed on provider networks do not require tenant networks or floating IP addresses. The installer does not create these resources during installation. Example provider network types include flat (untagged) and VLAN (802.1Q tagged). Note A cluster can support as many provider network connections as the network type allows. For example, VLAN networks typically support up to 4096 connections. You can learn more about provider and tenant networks in the RHOSP documentation . 19.5.13.10.1. RHOSP provider network requirements for cluster installation Before you install an OpenShift Container Platform cluster, your Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) deployment and provider network must meet a number of conditions: The RHOSP networking service (Neutron) is enabled and accessible through the RHOSP networking API. The RHOSP networking service has the port security and allowed address pairs extensions enabled . The provider network can be shared with other tenants. Tip Use the openstack network create command with the --share flag to create a network that can be shared. The RHOSP project that you use to install the cluster must own the provider network, as well as an appropriate subnet. Tip To create a network for a project that is named "openshift," enter the following command USD openstack network create --project openshift To create a subnet for a project that is named "openshift," enter the following command USD openstack subnet create --project openshift To learn more about creating networks on RHOSP, read the provider networks documentation . If the cluster is owned by the admin user, you must run the installer as that user to create ports on the network. Important Provider networks must be owned by the RHOSP project that is used to create the cluster. If they are not, the RHOSP Compute service (Nova) cannot request a port from that network. Verify that the provider network can reach the RHOSP metadata service IP address, which is 169.254.169.254 by default. Depending on your RHOSP SDN and networking service configuration, you might need to provide the route when you create the subnet. For example: USD openstack subnet create --dhcp --host-route destination=169.254.169.254/32,gateway=192.0.2.2 ... Optional: To secure the network, create role-based access control (RBAC) rules that limit network access to a single project. 19.5.13.10.2. Deploying a cluster that has a primary interface on a provider network You can deploy an OpenShift Container Platform cluster that has its primary network interface on an Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) provider network. Prerequisites Your Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) deployment is configured as described by "RHOSP provider network requirements for cluster installation". Procedure In a text editor, open the install-config.yaml file. Set the value of the platform.openstack.apiVIP property to the IP address for the API VIP. Set the value of the platform.openstack.ingressVIP property to the IP address for the Ingress VIP. Set the value of the platform.openstack.machinesSubnet property to the UUID of the provider network subnet. Set the value of the networking.machineNetwork.cidr property to the CIDR block of the provider network subnet. Important The platform.openstack.apiVIP and platform.openstack.ingressVIP properties must both be unassigned IP addresses from the networking.machineNetwork.cidr block. Section of an installation configuration file for a cluster that relies on a RHOSP provider network ... platform: openstack: apiVIP: 192.0.2.13 ingressVIP: 192.0.2.23 machinesSubnet: fa806b2f-ac49-4bce-b9db-124bc64209bf # ... networking: machineNetwork: - cidr: 192.0.2.0/24 Warning You cannot set the platform.openstack.externalNetwork or platform.openstack.externalDNS parameters while using a provider network for the primary network interface. When you deploy the cluster, the installer uses the install-config.yaml file to deploy the cluster on the provider network. Tip You can add additional networks, including provider networks, to the platform.openstack.additionalNetworkIDs list. After you deploy your cluster, you can attach pods to additional networks. For more information, see Understanding multiple networks . 19.5.14. Creating the Kubernetes manifest and Ignition config files Because you must modify some cluster definition files and manually start the cluster machines, you must generate the Kubernetes manifest and Ignition config files that the cluster needs to configure the machines. The installation configuration file transforms into the Kubernetes manifests. The manifests wrap into the Ignition configuration files, which are later used to configure the cluster machines. Important The Ignition config files that the OpenShift Container Platform 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. Prerequisites You obtained the OpenShift Container Platform installation program. You created the install-config.yaml installation configuration file. Procedure Change to the directory that contains the OpenShift Container Platform installation program and generate the Kubernetes manifests for the cluster: USD ./openshift-install create manifests --dir <installation_directory> 1 1 For <installation_directory> , specify the installation directory that contains the install-config.yaml file you created. Remove the Kubernetes manifest files that define the control plane machines and compute machine sets: USD rm -f openshift/99_openshift-cluster-api_master-machines-*.yaml openshift/99_openshift-cluster-api_worker-machineset-*.yaml Because you create and manage these resources yourself, you do not have to initialize them. You can preserve the machine set files to create compute machines by using the machine API, but you must update references to them to match your environment. Check that the mastersSchedulable parameter in the <installation_directory>/manifests/cluster-scheduler-02-config.yml Kubernetes manifest file is set to false . This setting prevents pods from being scheduled on the control plane machines: Open the <installation_directory>/manifests/cluster-scheduler-02-config.yml file. Locate the mastersSchedulable parameter and ensure that it is set to false . Save and exit the file. To create the Ignition configuration files, run the following command from the directory that contains the installation program: USD ./openshift-install create ignition-configs --dir <installation_directory> 1 1 For <installation_directory> , specify the same installation directory. Ignition config files are created for the bootstrap, control plane, and compute nodes in the installation directory. The kubeadmin-password and kubeconfig files are created in the ./<installation_directory>/auth directory: Export the metadata file's infraID key as an environment variable: USD export INFRA_ID=USD(jq -r .infraID metadata.json) Tip Extract the infraID key from metadata.json and use it as a prefix for all of the RHOSP resources that you create. By doing so, you avoid name conflicts when making multiple deployments in the same project. 19.5.15. Preparing the bootstrap Ignition files The OpenShift Container Platform installation process relies on bootstrap machines that are created from a bootstrap Ignition configuration file. Edit the file and upload it. Then, create a secondary bootstrap Ignition configuration file that Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) uses to download the primary file. Prerequisites You have the bootstrap Ignition file that the installer program generates, bootstrap.ign . The infrastructure ID from the installer's metadata file is set as an environment variable ( USDINFRA_ID ). If the variable is not set, see Creating the Kubernetes manifest and Ignition config files . You have an HTTP(S)-accessible way to store the bootstrap Ignition file. The documented procedure uses the RHOSP image service (Glance), but you can also use the RHOSP storage service (Swift), Amazon S3, an internal HTTP server, or an ad hoc Nova server. Procedure Run the following Python script. The script modifies the bootstrap Ignition file to set the hostname and, if available, CA certificate file when it runs: import base64 import json import os with open('bootstrap.ign', 'r') as f: ignition = json.load(f) files = ignition['storage'].get('files', []) infra_id = os.environ.get('INFRA_ID', 'openshift').encode() hostname_b64 = base64.standard_b64encode(infra_id + b'-bootstrap\n').decode().strip() files.append( { 'path': '/etc/hostname', 'mode': 420, 'contents': { 'source': 'data:text/plain;charset=utf-8;base64,' + hostname_b64 } }) ca_cert_path = os.environ.get('OS_CACERT', '') if ca_cert_path: with open(ca_cert_path, 'r') as f: ca_cert = f.read().encode() ca_cert_b64 = base64.standard_b64encode(ca_cert).decode().strip() files.append( { 'path': '/opt/openshift/tls/cloud-ca-cert.pem', 'mode': 420, 'contents': { 'source': 'data:text/plain;charset=utf-8;base64,' + ca_cert_b64 } }) ignition['storage']['files'] = files; with open('bootstrap.ign', 'w') as f: json.dump(ignition, f) Using the RHOSP CLI, create an image that uses the bootstrap Ignition file: USD openstack image create --disk-format=raw --container-format=bare --file bootstrap.ign <image_name> Get the image's details: USD openstack image show <image_name> Make a note of the file value; it follows the pattern v2/images/<image_ID>/file . Note Verify that the image you created is active. Retrieve the image service's public address: USD openstack catalog show image Combine the public address with the image file value and save the result as the storage location. The location follows the pattern <image_service_public_URL>/v2/images/<image_ID>/file . Generate an auth token and save the token ID: USD openstack token issue -c id -f value Insert the following content into a file called USDINFRA_ID-bootstrap-ignition.json and edit the placeholders to match your own values: { "ignition": { "config": { "merge": [{ "source": "<storage_url>", 1 "httpHeaders": [{ "name": "X-Auth-Token", 2 "value": "<token_ID>" 3 }] }] }, "security": { "tls": { "certificateAuthorities": [{ "source": "data:text/plain;charset=utf-8;base64,<base64_encoded_certificate>" 4 }] } }, "version": "3.2.0" } } 1 Replace the value of ignition.config.merge.source with the bootstrap Ignition file storage URL. 2 Set name in httpHeaders to "X-Auth-Token" . 3 Set value in httpHeaders to your token's ID. 4 If the bootstrap Ignition file server uses a self-signed certificate, include the base64-encoded certificate. Save the secondary Ignition config file. The bootstrap Ignition data will be passed to RHOSP during installation. Warning The bootstrap Ignition file contains sensitive information, like clouds.yaml credentials. Ensure that you store it in a secure place, and delete it after you complete the installation process. 19.5.16. Creating control plane Ignition config files on RHOSP Installing OpenShift Container Platform on Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) on your own infrastructure requires control plane Ignition config files. You must create multiple config files. Note As with the bootstrap Ignition configuration, you must explicitly define a hostname for each control plane machine. Prerequisites The infrastructure ID from the installation program's metadata file is set as an environment variable ( USDINFRA_ID ). If the variable is not set, see "Creating the Kubernetes manifest and Ignition config files". Procedure On a command line, run the following Python script: USD for index in USD(seq 0 2); do MASTER_HOSTNAME="USDINFRA_ID-master-USDindex\n" python -c "import base64, json, sys; ignition = json.load(sys.stdin); storage = ignition.get('storage', {}); files = storage.get('files', []); files.append({'path': '/etc/hostname', 'mode': 420, 'contents': {'source': 'data:text/plain;charset=utf-8;base64,' + base64.standard_b64encode(b'USDMASTER_HOSTNAME').decode().strip(), 'verification': {}}, 'filesystem': 'root'}); storage['files'] = files; ignition['storage'] = storage json.dump(ignition, sys.stdout)" <master.ign >"USDINFRA_ID-master-USDindex-ignition.json" done You now have three control plane Ignition files: <INFRA_ID>-master-0-ignition.json , <INFRA_ID>-master-1-ignition.json , and <INFRA_ID>-master-2-ignition.json . 19.5.17. Creating network resources on RHOSP Create the network resources that an OpenShift Container Platform on Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) installation on your own infrastructure requires. To save time, run supplied Ansible playbooks that generate security groups, networks, subnets, routers, and ports. Prerequisites Python 3 is installed on your machine. You downloaded the modules in "Downloading playbook dependencies". You downloaded the playbooks in "Downloading the installation playbooks". Procedure Optional: Add an external network value to the inventory.yaml playbook: Example external network value in the inventory.yaml Ansible playbook ... # The public network providing connectivity to the cluster. If not # provided, the cluster external connectivity must be provided in another # way. # Required for os_api_fip, os_ingress_fip, os_bootstrap_fip. os_external_network: 'external' ... Important If you did not provide a value for os_external_network in the inventory.yaml file, you must ensure that VMs can access Glance and an external connection yourself. Optional: Add external network and floating IP (FIP) address values to the inventory.yaml playbook: Example FIP values in the inventory.yaml Ansible playbook ... # OpenShift API floating IP address. If this value is non-empty, the # corresponding floating IP will be attached to the Control Plane to # serve the OpenShift API. os_api_fip: '203.0.113.23' # OpenShift Ingress floating IP address. If this value is non-empty, the # corresponding floating IP will be attached to the worker nodes to serve # the applications. os_ingress_fip: '203.0.113.19' # If this value is non-empty, the corresponding floating IP will be # attached to the bootstrap machine. This is needed for collecting logs # in case of install failure. os_bootstrap_fip: '203.0.113.20' Important If you do not define values for os_api_fip and os_ingress_fip , you must perform postinstallation network configuration. If you do not define a value for os_bootstrap_fip , the installer cannot download debugging information from failed installations. See "Enabling access to the environment" for more information. On a command line, create security groups by running the security-groups.yaml playbook: USD ansible-playbook -i inventory.yaml security-groups.yaml On a command line, create a network, subnet, and router by running the network.yaml playbook: USD ansible-playbook -i inventory.yaml network.yaml Optional: If you want to control the default resolvers that Nova servers use, run the RHOSP CLI command: USD openstack subnet set --dns-nameserver <server_1> --dns-nameserver <server_2> "USDINFRA_ID-nodes" Optionally, you can use the inventory.yaml file that you created to customize your installation. For example, you can deploy a cluster that uses bare metal machines. 19.5.17.1. Deploying a cluster with bare metal machines If you want your cluster to use bare metal machines, modify the inventory.yaml file. Your cluster can have both control plane and compute machines running on bare metal, or just compute machines. Bare-metal compute machines are not supported on clusters that use Kuryr. Note Be sure that your install-config.yaml file reflects whether the RHOSP network that you use for bare metal workers supports floating IP addresses or not. Prerequisites The RHOSP Bare Metal service (Ironic) is enabled and accessible via the RHOSP Compute API. Bare metal is available as a RHOSP flavor . If your cluster runs on an RHOSP version that is more than 16.1.6 and less than 16.2.4, bare metal workers do not function due to a known issue that causes the metadata service to be unavailable for services on OpenShift Container Platform nodes. The RHOSP network supports both VM and bare metal server attachment. Your network configuration does not rely on a provider network. Provider networks are not supported. If you want to deploy the machines on a pre-existing network, a RHOSP subnet is provisioned. If you want to deploy the machines on an installer-provisioned network, the RHOSP Bare Metal service (Ironic) is able to listen for and interact with Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE) boot machines that run on tenant networks. You created an inventory.yaml file as part of the OpenShift Container Platform installation process. Procedure In the inventory.yaml file, edit the flavors for machines: If you want to use bare-metal control plane machines, change the value of os_flavor_master to a bare metal flavor. Change the value of os_flavor_worker to a bare metal flavor. An example bare metal inventory.yaml file all: hosts: localhost: ansible_connection: local ansible_python_interpreter: "{{ansible_playbook_python}}" # User-provided values os_subnet_range: '10.0.0.0/16' os_flavor_master: 'my-bare-metal-flavor' 1 os_flavor_worker: 'my-bare-metal-flavor' 2 os_image_rhcos: 'rhcos' os_external_network: 'external' ... 1 If you want to have bare-metal control plane machines, change this value to a bare metal flavor. 2 Change this value to a bare metal flavor to use for compute machines. Use the updated inventory.yaml file to complete the installation process. Machines that are created during deployment use the flavor that you added to the file. Note The installer may time out while waiting for bare metal machines to boot. 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 19.5.18. Creating the bootstrap machine on RHOSP Create a bootstrap machine and give it the network access it needs to run on Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP). Red Hat provides an Ansible playbook that you run to simplify this process. Prerequisites You downloaded the modules in "Downloading playbook dependencies". You downloaded the playbooks in "Downloading the installation playbooks". The inventory.yaml , common.yaml , and bootstrap.yaml Ansible playbooks are in a common directory. The metadata.json file that the installation program created is in the same directory as the Ansible playbooks. Procedure On a command line, change the working directory to the location of the playbooks. On a command line, run the bootstrap.yaml playbook: USD ansible-playbook -i inventory.yaml bootstrap.yaml After the bootstrap server is active, view the logs to verify that the Ignition files were received: USD openstack console log show "USDINFRA_ID-bootstrap" 19.5.19. Creating the control plane machines on RHOSP Create three control plane machines by using the Ignition config files that you generated. Red Hat provides an Ansible playbook that you run to simplify this process. Prerequisites You downloaded the modules in "Downloading playbook dependencies". You downloaded the playbooks in "Downloading the installation playbooks". The infrastructure ID from the installation program's metadata file is set as an environment variable ( USDINFRA_ID ). The inventory.yaml , common.yaml , and control-plane.yaml Ansible playbooks are in a common directory. You have the three Ignition files that were created in "Creating control plane Ignition config files". Procedure On a command line, change the working directory to the location of the playbooks. If the control plane Ignition config files aren't already in your working directory, copy them into it. On a command line, run the control-plane.yaml playbook: USD ansible-playbook -i inventory.yaml control-plane.yaml Run the following command to monitor the bootstrapping process: USD openshift-install wait-for bootstrap-complete You will see messages that confirm that the control plane machines are running and have joined the cluster: INFO API v1.24.0 up INFO Waiting up to 30m0s for bootstrapping to complete... ... INFO It is now safe to remove the bootstrap resources 19.5.20. 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 19.5.21. Deleting bootstrap resources from RHOSP Delete the bootstrap resources that you no longer need. Prerequisites You downloaded the modules in "Downloading playbook dependencies". You downloaded the playbooks in "Downloading the installation playbooks". The inventory.yaml , common.yaml , and down-bootstrap.yaml Ansible playbooks are in a common directory. The control plane machines are running. If you do not know the status of the machines, see "Verifying cluster status". Procedure On a command line, change the working directory to the location of the playbooks. On a command line, run the down-bootstrap.yaml playbook: USD ansible-playbook -i inventory.yaml down-bootstrap.yaml The bootstrap port, server, and floating IP address are deleted. Warning If you did not disable the bootstrap Ignition file URL earlier, do so now. 19.5.22. Creating compute machines on RHOSP After standing up the control plane, create compute machines. Red Hat provides an Ansible playbook that you run to simplify this process. Prerequisites You downloaded the modules in "Downloading playbook dependencies". You downloaded the playbooks in "Downloading the installation playbooks". The inventory.yaml , common.yaml , and compute-nodes.yaml Ansible playbooks are in a common directory. The metadata.json file that the installation program created is in the same directory as the Ansible playbooks. The control plane is active. Procedure On a command line, change the working directory to the location of the playbooks. On a command line, run the playbook: USD ansible-playbook -i inventory.yaml compute-nodes.yaml steps Approve the certificate signing requests for the machines. 19.5.23. 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 v1.24.0 master-1 Ready master 63m v1.24.0 master-2 Ready master 64m v1.24.0 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 v1.24.0 master-1 Ready master 73m v1.24.0 master-2 Ready master 74m v1.24.0 worker-0 Ready worker 11m v1.24.0 worker-1 Ready worker 11m v1.24.0 Note It can take a few minutes after approval of the server CSRs for the machines to transition to the Ready status. Additional information For more information on CSRs, see Certificate Signing Requests . 19.5.24. Verifying a successful installation Verify that the OpenShift Container Platform installation is complete. Prerequisites You have the installation program ( openshift-install ) Procedure On a command line, enter: USD openshift-install --log-level debug wait-for install-complete The program outputs the console URL, as well as the administrator's login information. 19.5.25. Telemetry access for OpenShift Container Platform In OpenShift Container Platform 4.11, 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 See About remote health monitoring for more information about the Telemetry service 19.5.26. steps Customize your cluster . If necessary, you can opt out of remote health reporting . If you need to enable external access to node ports, configure ingress cluster traffic by using a node port . If you did not configure RHOSP to accept application traffic over floating IP addresses, configure RHOSP access with floating IP addresses . 19.6. Installing a cluster on OpenStack with Kuryr on your own infrastructure In OpenShift Container Platform version 4.11, you can install a cluster on Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) that runs on user-provisioned infrastructure. Using your own infrastructure allows you to integrate your cluster with existing infrastructure and modifications. The process requires more labor on your part than installer-provisioned installations, because you must create all RHOSP resources, like Nova servers, Neutron ports, and security groups. However, Red Hat provides Ansible playbooks to help you in the deployment process. 19.6.1. 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 verified that OpenShift Container Platform 4.11 is compatible with your RHOSP version by using the Supported platforms for OpenShift clusters section. You can also compare platform support across different versions by viewing the OpenShift Container Platform on RHOSP support matrix . You have an RHOSP account where you want to install OpenShift Container Platform. You understand performance and scalability practices for cluster scaling, control plane sizing, and etcd. For more information, see Recommended host practices . On the machine from which you run the installation program, you have: A single directory in which you can keep the files you create during the installation process Python 3 19.6.2. About Kuryr SDN Kuryr is a container network interface (CNI) plugin solution that uses the Neutron and Octavia Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) services to provide networking for pods and Services. Kuryr and OpenShift Container Platform integration is primarily designed for OpenShift Container Platform clusters running on RHOSP VMs. Kuryr improves the network performance by plugging OpenShift Container Platform pods into RHOSP SDN. In addition, it provides interconnectivity between pods and RHOSP virtual instances. Kuryr components are installed as pods in OpenShift Container Platform using the openshift-kuryr namespace: kuryr-controller - a single service instance installed on a master node. This is modeled in OpenShift Container Platform as a Deployment object. kuryr-cni - a container installing and configuring Kuryr as a CNI driver on each OpenShift Container Platform node. This is modeled in OpenShift Container Platform as a DaemonSet object. The Kuryr controller watches the OpenShift Container Platform API server for pod, service, and namespace create, update, and delete events. It maps the OpenShift Container Platform API calls to corresponding objects in Neutron and Octavia. This means that every network solution that implements the Neutron trunk port functionality can be used to back OpenShift Container Platform via Kuryr. This includes open source solutions such as Open vSwitch (OVS) and Open Virtual Network (OVN) as well as Neutron-compatible commercial SDNs. Kuryr is recommended for OpenShift Container Platform deployments on encapsulated RHOSP tenant networks to avoid double encapsulation, such as running an encapsulated OpenShift Container Platform SDN over an RHOSP network. If you use provider networks or tenant VLANs, you do not need to use Kuryr to avoid double encapsulation. The performance benefit is negligible. Depending on your configuration, though, using Kuryr to avoid having two overlays might still be beneficial. Kuryr is not recommended in deployments where all of the following criteria are true: The RHOSP version is less than 16. The deployment uses UDP services, or a large number of TCP services on few hypervisors. or The ovn-octavia Octavia driver is disabled. The deployment uses a large number of TCP services on few hypervisors. 19.6.3. Resource guidelines for installing OpenShift Container Platform on RHOSP with Kuryr When using Kuryr SDN, the pods, services, namespaces, and network policies are using resources from the RHOSP quota; this increases the minimum requirements. Kuryr also has some additional requirements on top of what a default install requires. Use the following quota to satisfy a default cluster's minimum requirements: Table 19.19. Recommended resources for a default OpenShift Container Platform cluster on RHOSP with Kuryr Resource Value Floating IP addresses 3 - plus the expected number of Services of LoadBalancer type Ports 1500 - 1 needed per Pod Routers 1 Subnets 250 - 1 needed per Namespace/Project Networks 250 - 1 needed per Namespace/Project RAM 112 GB vCPUs 28 Volume storage 275 GB Instances 7 Security groups 250 - 1 needed per Service and per NetworkPolicy Security group rules 1000 Server groups 2 - plus 1 for each additional availability zone in each machine pool Load balancers 100 - 1 needed per Service Load balancer listeners 500 - 1 needed per Service-exposed port Load balancer pools 500 - 1 needed per Service-exposed port A cluster might function with fewer than recommended resources, but its performance is not guaranteed. Important If RHOSP object storage (Swift) is available and operated by a user account with the swiftoperator role, it is used as the default backend for the OpenShift Container Platform image registry. In this case, the volume storage requirement is 175 GB. Swift space requirements vary depending on the size of the image registry. Important If you are using Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) version 16 with the Amphora driver rather than the OVN Octavia driver, security groups are associated with service accounts instead of user projects. Take the following notes into consideration when setting resources: The number of ports that are required is larger than the number of pods. Kuryr uses ports pools to have pre-created ports ready to be used by pods and speed up the pods' booting time. Each network policy is mapped into an RHOSP security group, and depending on the NetworkPolicy spec, one or more rules are added to the security group. Each service is mapped to an RHOSP load balancer. Consider this requirement when estimating the number of security groups required for the quota. If you are using RHOSP version 15 or earlier, or the ovn-octavia driver , each load balancer has a security group with the user project. The quota does not account for load balancer resources (such as VM resources), but you must consider these resources when you decide the RHOSP deployment's size. The default installation will have more than 50 load balancers; the clusters must be able to accommodate them. If you are using RHOSP version 16 with the OVN Octavia driver enabled, only one load balancer VM is generated; services are load balanced through OVN flows. An OpenShift Container Platform deployment comprises control plane machines, compute machines, and a bootstrap machine. To enable Kuryr SDN, your environment must meet the following requirements: Run RHOSP 13+. Have Overcloud with Octavia. Use Neutron Trunk ports extension. Use openvswitch firewall driver if ML2/OVS Neutron driver is used instead of ovs-hybrid . 19.6.3.1. Increasing quota When using Kuryr SDN, you must increase quotas to satisfy the Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) resources used by pods, services, namespaces, and network policies. Procedure Increase the quotas for a project by running the following command: USD sudo openstack quota set --secgroups 250 --secgroup-rules 1000 --ports 1500 --subnets 250 --networks 250 <project> 19.6.3.2. Configuring Neutron Kuryr CNI leverages the Neutron Trunks extension to plug containers into the Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) SDN, so you must use the trunks extension for Kuryr to properly work. In addition, if you leverage the default ML2/OVS Neutron driver, the firewall must be set to openvswitch instead of ovs_hybrid so that security groups are enforced on trunk subports and Kuryr can properly handle network policies. 19.6.3.3. Configuring Octavia Kuryr SDN uses Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP)'s Octavia LBaaS to implement OpenShift Container Platform services. Thus, you must install and configure Octavia components in RHOSP to use Kuryr SDN. To enable Octavia, you must include the Octavia service during the installation of the RHOSP Overcloud, or upgrade the Octavia service if the Overcloud already exists. The following steps for enabling Octavia apply to both a clean install of the Overcloud or an Overcloud update. Note The following steps only capture the key pieces required during the deployment of RHOSP when dealing with Octavia. It is also important to note that registry methods vary. This example uses the local registry method. Procedure If you are using the local registry, create a template to upload the images to the registry. For example: (undercloud) USD openstack overcloud container image prepare \ -e /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/environments/services-docker/octavia.yaml \ --namespace=registry.access.redhat.com/rhosp13 \ --push-destination=<local-ip-from-undercloud.conf>:8787 \ --prefix=openstack- \ --tag-from-label {version}-{product-version} \ --output-env-file=/home/stack/templates/overcloud_images.yaml \ --output-images-file /home/stack/local_registry_images.yaml Verify that the local_registry_images.yaml file contains the Octavia images. For example: ... - imagename: registry.access.redhat.com/rhosp13/openstack-octavia-api:13.0-43 push_destination: <local-ip-from-undercloud.conf>:8787 - imagename: registry.access.redhat.com/rhosp13/openstack-octavia-health-manager:13.0-45 push_destination: <local-ip-from-undercloud.conf>:8787 - imagename: registry.access.redhat.com/rhosp13/openstack-octavia-housekeeping:13.0-45 push_destination: <local-ip-from-undercloud.conf>:8787 - imagename: registry.access.redhat.com/rhosp13/openstack-octavia-worker:13.0-44 push_destination: <local-ip-from-undercloud.conf>:8787 Note The Octavia container versions vary depending upon the specific RHOSP release installed. Pull the container images from registry.redhat.io to the Undercloud node: (undercloud) USD sudo openstack overcloud container image upload \ --config-file /home/stack/local_registry_images.yaml \ --verbose This may take some time depending on the speed of your network and Undercloud disk. Since an Octavia load balancer is used to access the OpenShift Container Platform API, you must increase their listeners' default timeouts for the connections. The default timeout is 50 seconds. Increase the timeout to 20 minutes by passing the following file to the Overcloud deploy command: (undercloud) USD cat octavia_timeouts.yaml parameter_defaults: OctaviaTimeoutClientData: 1200000 OctaviaTimeoutMemberData: 1200000 Note This is not needed for RHOSP 13.0.13+. Install or update your Overcloud environment with Octavia: USD openstack overcloud deploy --templates \ -e /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/environments/services-docker/octavia.yaml \ -e octavia_timeouts.yaml Note This command only includes the files associated with Octavia; it varies based on your specific installation of RHOSP. See the RHOSP documentation for further information. For more information on customizing your Octavia installation, see installation of Octavia using Director . Note When leveraging Kuryr SDN, the Overcloud installation requires the Neutron trunk extension. This is available by default on director deployments. Use the openvswitch firewall instead of the default ovs-hybrid when the Neutron backend is ML2/OVS. There is no need for modifications if the backend is ML2/OVN. In RHOSP versions earlier than 13.0.13, add the project ID to the octavia.conf configuration file after you create the project. To enforce network policies across services, like when traffic goes through the Octavia load balancer, you must ensure Octavia creates the Amphora VM security groups on the user project. This change ensures that required load balancer security groups belong to that project, and that they can be updated to enforce services isolation. Note This task is unnecessary in RHOSP version 13.0.13 or later. Octavia implements a new ACL API that restricts access to the load balancers VIP.

Restart the Octavia worker so the new configuration loads. controller-0USD sudo docker restart octavia_worker Note Depending on your RHOSP environment, Octavia might not support UDP listeners. If you use Kuryr SDN on RHOSP version 13.0.13 or earlier, UDP services are not supported. RHOSP version 16 or later support UDP. 19.6.3.3.1. The Octavia OVN Driver Octavia supports multiple provider drivers through the Octavia API. To see all available Octavia provider drivers, on a command line, enter: USD openstack loadbalancer provider list Example output +---------+-------------------------------------------------+ | name | description | +---------+-------------------------------------------------+ | amphora | The Octavia Amphora driver. | | octavia | Deprecated alias of the Octavia Amphora driver. | | ovn | Octavia OVN driver. | +---------+-------------------------------------------------+ Beginning with RHOSP version 16, the Octavia OVN provider driver ( ovn ) is supported on OpenShift Container Platform on RHOSP deployments. ovn is an integration driver for the load balancing that Octavia and OVN provide. It supports basic load balancing capabilities, and is based on OpenFlow rules. The driver is automatically enabled in Octavia by Director on deployments that use OVN Neutron ML2. The Amphora provider driver is the default driver. If ovn is enabled, however, Kuryr uses it. If Kuryr uses ovn instead of Amphora, it offers the following benefits: Decreased resource requirements. Kuryr does not require a load balancer VM for each service. Reduced network latency. Increased service creation speed by using OpenFlow rules instead of a VM for each service. Distributed load balancing actions across all nodes instead of centralized on Amphora VMs. 19.6.3.4. Known limitations of installing with Kuryr Using OpenShift Container Platform with Kuryr SDN has several known limitations. RHOSP general limitations Using OpenShift Container Platform with Kuryr SDN has several limitations that apply to all versions and environments: Service objects with the NodePort type are not supported. Clusters that use the OVN Octavia provider driver support Service objects for which the .spec.selector property is unspecified only if the .subsets.addresses property of the Endpoints object includes the subnet of the nodes or pods. If the subnet on which machines are created is not connected to a router, or if the subnet is connected, but the router has no external gateway set, Kuryr cannot create floating IPs for Service objects with type LoadBalancer . Configuring the sessionAffinity=ClientIP property on Service objects does not have an effect. Kuryr does not support this setting. RHOSP version limitations Using OpenShift Container Platform with Kuryr SDN has several limitations that depend on the RHOSP version. RHOSP versions before 16 use the default Octavia load balancer driver (Amphora). This driver requires that one Amphora load balancer VM is deployed per OpenShift Container Platform service. Creating too many services can cause you to run out of resources. Deployments of later versions of RHOSP that have the OVN Octavia driver disabled also use the Amphora driver. They are subject to the same resource concerns as earlier versions of RHOSP. Octavia RHOSP versions before 13.0.13 do not support UDP listeners. Therefore, OpenShift Container Platform UDP services are not supported. Octavia RHOSP versions before 13.0.13 cannot listen to multiple protocols on the same port. Services that expose the same port to different protocols, like TCP and UDP, are not supported. Kuryr SDN does not support automatic unidling by a service. RHOSP environment limitations There are limitations when using Kuryr SDN that depend on your deployment environment. Because of Octavia's lack of support for the UDP protocol and multiple listeners, if the RHOSP version is earlier than 13.0.13, Kuryr forces pods to use TCP for DNS resolution. In Go versions 1.12 and earlier, applications that are compiled with CGO support disabled use UDP only. In this case, the native Go resolver does not recognize the use-vc option in resolv.conf , which controls whether TCP is forced for DNS resolution. As a result, UDP is still used for DNS resolution, which fails. To ensure that TCP forcing is allowed, compile applications either with the environment variable CGO_ENABLED set to 1 , i.e. CGO_ENABLED=1 , or ensure that the variable is absent. In Go versions 1.13 and later, TCP is used automatically if DNS resolution using UDP fails. Note musl-based containers, including Alpine-based containers, do not support the use-vc option. RHOSP upgrade limitations As a result of the RHOSP upgrade process, the Octavia API might be changed, and upgrades to the Amphora images that are used for load balancers might be required. You can address API changes on an individual basis. If the Amphora image is upgraded, the RHOSP operator can handle existing load balancer VMs in two ways: Upgrade each VM by triggering a load balancer failover . Leave responsibility for upgrading the VMs to users. If the operator takes the first option, there might be short downtimes during failovers. If the operator takes the second option, the existing load balancers will not support upgraded Octavia API features, like UDP listeners. In this case, users must recreate their Services to use these features. Important If OpenShift Container Platform detects a new Octavia version that supports UDP load balancing, it recreates the DNS service automatically. The service recreation ensures that the service default supports UDP load balancing. The recreation causes the DNS service approximately one minute of downtime. 19.6.3.5. Control plane machines By default, the OpenShift Container Platform installation process creates three control plane machines. Each machine requires: An instance from the RHOSP quota A port from the RHOSP quota A flavor with at least 16 GB memory and 4 vCPUs At least 100 GB storage space from the RHOSP quota 19.6.3.6. Compute machines By default, the OpenShift Container Platform installation process creates three compute machines. Each machine requires: An instance from the RHOSP quota A port from the RHOSP quota A flavor with at least 8 GB memory and 2 vCPUs At least 100 GB storage space from the RHOSP quota Tip Compute machines host the applications that you run on OpenShift Container Platform; aim to run as many as you can. 19.6.3.7. Bootstrap machine During installation, a bootstrap machine is temporarily provisioned to stand up the control plane. After the production control plane is ready, the bootstrap machine is deprovisioned. The bootstrap machine requires: An instance from the RHOSP quota A port from the RHOSP quota A flavor with at least 16 GB memory and 4 vCPUs At least 100 GB storage space from the RHOSP quota 19.6.4. Internet access for OpenShift Container Platform In OpenShift Container Platform 4.11, 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. 19.6.5. Downloading playbook dependencies The Ansible playbooks that simplify the installation process on user-provisioned infrastructure require several Python modules. On the machine where you will run the installer, add the modules' repositories and then download them. Note These instructions assume that you are using Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8. Prerequisites Python 3 is installed on your machine. Procedure On a command line, add the repositories: Register with Red Hat Subscription Manager: USD sudo subscription-manager register # If not done already Pull the latest subscription data: USD sudo subscription-manager attach --pool=USDYOUR_POOLID # If not done already Disable the current repositories: USD sudo subscription-manager repos --disable=* # If not done already Add the required repositories: USD sudo subscription-manager repos \ --enable=rhel-8-for-x86_64-baseos-rpms \ --enable=openstack-16-tools-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms \ --enable=ansible-2.9-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms \ --enable=rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms Install the modules: USD sudo yum install python3-openstackclient ansible python3-openstacksdk python3-netaddr Ensure that the python command points to python3 : USD sudo alternatives --set python /usr/bin/python3 19.6.6. Downloading the installation playbooks Download Ansible playbooks that you can use to install OpenShift Container Platform on your own Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) infrastructure. Prerequisites The curl command-line tool is available on your machine. Procedure To download the playbooks to your working directory, run the following script from a command line: USD xargs -n 1 curl -O <<< ' https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openshift/installer/release-4.11/upi/openstack/bootstrap.yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openshift/installer/release-4.11/upi/openstack/common.yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openshift/installer/release-4.11/upi/openstack/compute-nodes.yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openshift/installer/release-4.11/upi/openstack/control-plane.yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openshift/installer/release-4.11/upi/openstack/inventory.yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openshift/installer/release-4.11/upi/openstack/network.yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openshift/installer/release-4.11/upi/openstack/security-groups.yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openshift/installer/release-4.11/upi/openstack/down-bootstrap.yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openshift/installer/release-4.11/upi/openstack/down-compute-nodes.yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openshift/installer/release-4.11/upi/openstack/down-control-plane.yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openshift/installer/release-4.11/upi/openstack/down-load-balancers.yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openshift/installer/release-4.11/upi/openstack/down-network.yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openshift/installer/release-4.11/upi/openstack/down-security-groups.yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openshift/installer/release-4.11/upi/openstack/down-containers.yaml' The playbooks are downloaded to your machine. Important During the installation process, you can modify the playbooks to configure your deployment. Retain all playbooks for the life of your cluster. You must have the playbooks to remove your OpenShift Container Platform cluster from RHOSP. Important You must match any edits you make in the bootstrap.yaml , compute-nodes.yaml , control-plane.yaml , network.yaml , and security-groups.yaml files to the corresponding playbooks that are prefixed with down- . For example, edits to the bootstrap.yaml file must be reflected in the down-bootstrap.yaml file, too. If you do not edit both files, the supported cluster removal process will fail. 19.6.7. Obtaining the installation program Before you install OpenShift Container Platform, download the installation file on a local computer. 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. 19.6.8. 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. Note If you plan to install an OpenShift Container Platform cluster that uses FIPS validated or Modules In Process cryptographic libraries on the x86_64 architecture, do not create a key that uses the ed25519 algorithm. Instead, create a key that uses the rsa or ecdsa algorithm. 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 Note If your cluster is in FIPS mode, only use FIPS-compliant algorithms to generate the SSH key. The key must be either RSA or ECDSA. 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. 19.6.9. Creating the Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) image The OpenShift Container Platform installation program requires that a Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) image be present in the Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) cluster. Retrieve the latest RHCOS image, then upload it using the RHOSP CLI. Prerequisites The RHOSP CLI is installed. Procedure Log in to the Red Hat Customer Portal's Product Downloads page . Under Version , select the most recent release of OpenShift Container Platform 4.11 for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8. Important The RHCOS images might not change with every release of OpenShift Container Platform. You must download images with the highest version that is less than or equal to the OpenShift Container Platform version that you install. Use the image versions that match your OpenShift Container Platform version if they are available. Download the Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) - OpenStack Image (QCOW) . Decompress the image. Note You must decompress the RHOSP image before the cluster can use it. The name of the downloaded file might not contain a compression extension, like .gz or .tgz . To find out if or how the file is compressed, in a command line, enter: USD file <name_of_downloaded_file> From the image that you downloaded, create an image that is named rhcos in your cluster by using the RHOSP CLI: USD openstack image create --container-format=bare --disk-format=qcow2 --file rhcos-USD{RHCOS_VERSION}-openstack.qcow2 rhcos Important Depending on your RHOSP environment, you might be able to upload the image in either .raw or .qcow2 formats . If you use Ceph, you must use the .raw format. Warning If the installation program finds multiple images with the same name, it chooses one of them at random. To avoid this behavior, create unique names for resources in RHOSP. After you upload the image to RHOSP, it is usable in the installation process. 19.6.10. Verifying external network access The OpenShift Container Platform installation process requires external network access. You must provide an external network value to it, or deployment fails. Before you begin the process, verify that a network with the external router type exists in Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP). Prerequisites Configure OpenStack's networking service to have DHCP agents forward instances' DNS queries Procedure Using the RHOSP CLI, verify the name and ID of the 'External' network: USD openstack network list --long -c ID -c Name -c "Router Type" Example output +--------------------------------------+----------------+-------------+ | ID | Name | Router Type | +--------------------------------------+----------------+-------------+ | 148a8023-62a7-4672-b018-003462f8d7dc | public_network | External | +--------------------------------------+----------------+-------------+ A network with an external router type appears in the network list. If at least one does not, see Creating a default floating IP network and Creating a default provider network . Note If the Neutron trunk service plugin is enabled, a trunk port is created by default. For more information, see Neutron trunk port . 19.6.11. Enabling access to the environment At deployment, all OpenShift Container Platform machines are created in a Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP)-tenant network. Therefore, they are not accessible directly in most RHOSP deployments. You can configure OpenShift Container Platform API and application access by using floating IP addresses (FIPs) during installation. You can also complete an installation without configuring FIPs, but the installer will not configure a way to reach the API or applications externally. 19.6.11.1. Enabling access with floating IP addresses Create floating IP (FIP) addresses for external access to the OpenShift Container Platform API, cluster applications, and the bootstrap process. Procedure Using the Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) CLI, create the API FIP: USD openstack floating ip create --description "API <cluster_name>.<base_domain>" <external_network> Using the Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) CLI, create the apps, or Ingress, FIP: USD openstack floating ip create --description "Ingress <cluster_name>.<base_domain>" <external_network> By using the Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) CLI, create the bootstrap FIP: USD openstack floating ip create --description "bootstrap machine" <external_network> Add records that follow these patterns to your DNS server for the API and Ingress FIPs: api.<cluster_name>.<base_domain>. IN A <API_FIP> *.apps.<cluster_name>.<base_domain>. IN A <apps_FIP> Note If you do not control the DNS server, you can access the cluster by adding the cluster domain names such as the following to your /etc/hosts file: <api_floating_ip> api.<cluster_name>.<base_domain> <application_floating_ip> grafana-openshift-monitoring.apps.<cluster_name>.<base_domain> <application_floating_ip> prometheus-k8s-openshift-monitoring.apps.<cluster_name>.<base_domain> <application_floating_ip> oauth-openshift.apps.<cluster_name>.<base_domain> <application_floating_ip> console-openshift-console.apps.<cluster_name>.<base_domain> application_floating_ip integrated-oauth-server-openshift-authentication.apps.<cluster_name>.<base_domain> The cluster domain names in the /etc/hosts file grant access to the web console and the monitoring interface of your cluster locally. You can also use the kubectl or oc . You can access the user applications by using the additional entries pointing to the <application_floating_ip>. This action makes the API and applications accessible to only you, which is not suitable for production deployment, but does allow installation for development and testing. Add the FIPs to the inventory.yaml file as the values of the following variables: os_api_fip os_bootstrap_fip os_ingress_fip If you use these values, you must also enter an external network as the value of the os_external_network variable in the inventory.yaml file. Tip You can make OpenShift Container Platform resources available outside of the cluster by assigning a floating IP address and updating your firewall configuration. 19.6.11.2. Completing installation without floating IP addresses You can install OpenShift Container Platform on Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) without providing floating IP addresses. In the inventory.yaml file, do not define the following variables: os_api_fip os_bootstrap_fip os_ingress_fip If you cannot provide an external network, you can also leave os_external_network blank. If you do not provide a value for os_external_network , a router is not created for you, and, without additional action, the installer will fail to retrieve an image from Glance. Later in the installation process, when you create network resources, you must configure external connectivity on your own. If you run the installer with the wait-for command from a system that cannot reach the cluster API due to a lack of floating IP addresses or name resolution, installation fails. To prevent installation failure in these cases, you can use a proxy network or run the installer from a system that is on the same network as your machines. Note You can enable name resolution by creating DNS records for the API and Ingress ports. For example: api.<cluster_name>.<base_domain>. IN A <api_port_IP> *.apps.<cluster_name>.<base_domain>. IN A <ingress_port_IP> If you do not control the DNS server, you can add the record to your /etc/hosts file. This action makes the API accessible to only you, which is not suitable for production deployment but does allow installation for development and testing. 19.6.12. Defining parameters for the installation program The OpenShift Container Platform installation program relies on a file that is called clouds.yaml . The file describes Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) configuration parameters, including the project name, log in information, and authorization service URLs. Procedure Create the clouds.yaml file: If your RHOSP distribution includes the Horizon web UI, generate a clouds.yaml file in it. Important Remember to add a password to the auth field. You can also keep secrets in a separate file from clouds.yaml . OpenShift Container Platform does not support application credentials. If your RHOSP distribution does not include the Horizon web UI, or you do not want to use Horizon, create the file yourself. For detailed information about clouds.yaml , see Config files in the RHOSP documentation. clouds: shiftstack: auth: auth_url: http://10.10.14.42:5000/v3 project_name: shiftstack username: <username> password: <password> user_domain_name: Default project_domain_name: Default dev-env: region_name: RegionOne auth: username: <username> password: <password> project_name: 'devonly' auth_url: 'https://10.10.14.22:5001/v2.0' If your RHOSP installation uses self-signed certificate authority (CA) certificates for endpoint authentication: Copy the certificate authority file to your machine. Add the cacerts key to the clouds.yaml file. The value must be an absolute, non-root-accessible path to the CA certificate: clouds: shiftstack: ... cacert: "/etc/pki/ca-trust/source/anchors/ca.crt.pem" Tip After you run the installer with a custom CA certificate, you can update the certificate by editing the value of the ca-cert.pem key in the cloud-provider-config keymap. On a command line, run: USD oc edit configmap -n openshift-config cloud-provider-config Place the clouds.yaml file in one of the following locations: The value of the OS_CLIENT_CONFIG_FILE environment variable The current directory A Unix-specific user configuration directory, for example ~/.config/openstack/clouds.yaml A Unix-specific site configuration directory, for example /etc/openstack/clouds.yaml The installation program searches for clouds.yaml in that order. 19.6.13. Creating the installation configuration file You can customize the OpenShift Container Platform cluster you install on Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP). 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. 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 openstack as the platform to target. Specify the Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) external network name to use for installing the cluster. Specify the floating IP address to use for external access to the OpenShift API. Specify a RHOSP flavor with at least 16 GB RAM to use for control plane nodes and 8 GB RAM for compute nodes. Select the base domain to deploy the cluster to. All DNS records will be sub-domains of this base and will also include the cluster name. Enter a name for your cluster. The name must be 14 or fewer characters long. 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. You now have the file install-config.yaml in the directory that you specified. 19.6.14. 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. 19.6.14.1. Required configuration parameters Required installation configuration parameters are described in the following table: Table 19.20. Required parameters Parameter Description Values apiVersion The API version for the install-config.yaml content. The current version is v1 . The installer 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. Object metadata.name The name of the cluster. DNS records for the cluster are all subdomains of {{.metadata.name}}.{{.baseDomain}} . String of lowercase letters, hyphens ( - ), and periods ( . ), such as dev . The string must be 14 characters or fewer long. platform The configuration for the specific platform upon which to perform the installation: alibabacloud , aws , baremetal , azure , gcp , ibmcloud , nutanix , openstack , ovirt , vsphere , or {} . For additional information about platform.<platform> parameters, consult the table for your specific platform that follows. Object pullSecret Get a pull secret from the Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager to authenticate downloading container images for OpenShift Container Platform components from services such as Quay.io. { "auths":{ "cloud.openshift.com":{ "auth":"b3Blb=", "email":"you@example.com" }, "quay.io":{ "auth":"b3Blb=", "email":"you@example.com" } } } 19.6.14.2. 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 19.21. 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 cluster network provider Container Network Interface (CNI) cluster network provider to install. Either OpenShiftSDN or OVNKubernetes . OpenShiftSDN is a CNI provider for all-Linux networks. OVNKubernetes is a CNI provider for Linux networks and hybrid networks that contain both Linux and Windows servers. The default value is OpenShiftSDN . networking.clusterNetwork The IP address blocks for pods. The default value is 10.128.0.0/14 with a host prefix of /23 . If you specify multiple IP address blocks, the blocks must not overlap. An array of objects.

An IP address block in Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) notation. The prefix length for an IPv4 block is between 0 and 32 . networking.clusterNetwork.hostPrefix The subnet prefix length to assign to each individual node. For example, if hostPrefix is set to 23 then each node is assigned a /23 subnet out of the given cidr . A hostPrefix value of 23 provides 510 (2^(32 - 23) - 2) pod IP addresses. A subnet prefix. The default value is 23 . networking.serviceNetwork The IP address block for services. The default value is 172.30.0.0/16 . The OpenShift SDN and OVN-Kubernetes network providers support only a single IP address block for the service network. An array with an IP address block in CIDR format. For example: networking: serviceNetwork: - 172.30.0.0/16 networking.machineNetwork The IP address blocks for machines. If you specify multiple IP address blocks, the blocks must not overlap. An array of objects. For example: networking: machineNetwork: - cidr: 10.0.0.0/16 networking.machineNetwork.cidr Required if you use networking.machineNetwork . An IP address block. The default value is 10.0.0.0/16 for all platforms other than libvirt. For libvirt, the default value is 192.168.126.0/24 . An IP network block in CIDR notation. For example, 10.0.0.0/16 . Note Set the networking.machineNetwork to match the CIDR that the preferred NIC resides in. 19.6.14.3. Optional configuration parameters Optional installation configuration parameters are described in the following table: Table 19.22. Optional parameters Parameter Description Values additionalTrustBundle A PEM-encoded X.509 certificate bundle that is added to the nodes' trusted certificate store. This trust bundle may also be used when a proxy has been configured. String capabilities Controls the installation of optional core cluster components. You can reduce the footprint of your OpenShift Container Platform cluster by disabling optional components. String array capabilities.baselineCapabilitySet Selects an initial set of optional capabilities to enable. Valid values are None , v4.11 and vCurrent . v4.11 enables the baremetal Operator, the marketplace Operator, and the openshift-samples content. vCurrent installs the recommended set of capabilities for the current version of OpenShift Container Platform. The default value is vCurrent . String capabilities.additionalEnabledCapabilities Extends the set of optional capabilities beyond what you specify in baselineCapabilitySet . Valid values are baremetal , marketplace and openshift-samples . You may specify multiple capabilities in this parameter. String array cgroupsV2 Enables Linux control groups version 2 (cgroups v2) on specific nodes in your cluster. The OpenShift Container Platform process for enabling cgroups v2 disables all cgroup version 1 controllers and hierarchies. The OpenShift Container Platform cgroups version 2 feature is in Developer Preview and is not supported by Red Hat at this time. true compute The configuration for the machines that comprise the compute nodes. Array of MachinePool objects. compute.architecture Determines the instruction set architecture of the machines in the pool. Currently, clusters with varied architectures are not supported. All pools must specify the same architecture. Valid values are amd64 (the default). String compute.hyperthreading Whether to enable or disable simultaneous multithreading, or hyperthreading , on compute machines. By default, simultaneous multithreading is enabled to increase the performance of your machines' cores. Important If you disable simultaneous multithreading, ensure that your capacity planning accounts for the dramatically decreased machine performance. Enabled or Disabled compute.name Required if you use compute . The name of the machine pool. worker compute.platform Required if you use compute . Use this parameter to specify the cloud provider to host the worker machines.

The only supported value is 3 , which is the default value. credentialsMode The Cloud Credential Operator (CCO) mode. If no mode is specified, the CCO dynamically tries to determine the capabilities of the provided credentials, with a preference for mint mode on the platforms where multiple modes are supported. Note Not all CCO modes are supported for all cloud providers. For more information on CCO modes, see the Cloud Credential Operator entry in the Cluster Operators reference content. Note If your AWS account has service control policies (SCP) enabled, you must configure the credentialsMode parameter to Mint , Passthrough or Manual . Mint , Passthrough , Manual or an empty string ( "" ). fips Enable or disable FIPS mode. The default is false (disabled). If FIPS mode is enabled, the Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) machines that OpenShift Container Platform runs on bypass the default Kubernetes cryptography suite and use the cryptography modules that are provided with RHCOS instead. Important To enable FIPS mode for your cluster, you must run the installation program from a Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) computer configured to operate in FIPS mode. For more information about configuring FIPS mode on RHEL, see Installing the system in FIPS mode . The use of FIPS validated or Modules In Process cryptographic libraries is only supported on OpenShift Container Platform deployments on the x86_64 architecture.

Array of strings publish How to publish or expose the user-facing endpoints of your cluster, such as the Kubernetes API, OpenShift routes. Internal or External . The default value is External . Setting this field to Internal is not supported on non-cloud platforms and IBM Cloud VPC. Important If the value of the field is set to Internal , the cluster will become non-functional. For more information, refer to BZ#1953035 . sshKey The SSH key to authenticate access to 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. For example, sshKey: ssh-ed25519 AAAA.. . 19.6.14.4. Additional Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) configuration parameters Additional RHOSP configuration parameters are described in the following table: Table 19.23. Additional RHOSP parameters Parameter Description Values compute.platform.openstack.rootVolume.size For compute machines, the size in gigabytes of the root volume. If you do not set this value, machines use ephemeral storage. Integer, for example 30 . compute.platform.openstack.rootVolume.type For compute machines, the root volume's type. String, for example performance . controlPlane.platform.openstack.rootVolume.size For control plane machines, the size in gigabytes of the root volume.

If this parameter is not set, the installer relies on the default settings for Nova that the RHOSP administrator configured. On clusters that use Kuryr, RHOSP Octavia does not support availability zones. Load balancers and, if you are using the Amphora provider driver, OpenShift Container Platform services that rely on Amphora VMs, are not created according to the value of this property. A list of strings. For example, ["zone-1", "zone-2"] . compute.platform.openstack.rootVolume.zones For compute machines, the availability zone to install root volumes on. If you do not set a value for this parameter, the installer selects the default availability zone. A list of strings, for example ["zone-1", "zone-2"] . compute.platform.openstack.serverGroupPolicy Server group policy to apply to the group that will contain the compute machines in the pool. You cannot change server group policies or affiliations after creation. Supported options include anti-affinity , soft-affinity , and soft-anti-affinity . The default value is soft-anti-affinity . An affinity policy prevents migrations and therefore affects RHOSP upgrades. The affinity policy is not supported. If you use a strict anti-affinity policy, an additional RHOSP host is required during instance migration. A server group policy to apply to the machine pool. For example, soft-affinity . controlPlane.platform.openstack.additionalNetworkIDs Additional networks that are associated with control plane machines.

An affinity policy prevents migrations, and therefore affects RHOSP upgrades. The affinity policy is not supported. If you use a strict anti-affinity policy, an additional RHOSP host is required during instance migration. A server group policy to apply to the machine pool. For example, soft-affinity . platform.openstack.clusterOSImage The location from which the installer downloads the RHCOS image. You must set this parameter to perform an installation in a restricted network. An HTTP or HTTPS URL, optionally with an SHA-256 checksum. For example, http://mirror.example.com/images/rhcos-43.81.201912131630.0-openstack.x86_64.qcow2.gz?sha256=ffebbd68e8a1f2a245ca19522c16c86f67f9ac8e4e0c1f0a812b068b16f7265d . The value can also be the name of an existing Glance image, for example my-rhcos . platform.openstack.clusterOSImageProperties Properties to add to the installer-uploaded ClusterOSImage in Glance. This property is ignored if platform.openstack.clusterOSImage is set to an existing Glance image. You can use this property to exceed the default persistent volume (PV) limit for RHOSP of 26 PVs per node. To exceed the limit, set the hw_scsi_model property value to virtio-scsi and the hw_disk_bus value to scsi . You can also use this property to enable the QEMU guest agent by including the hw_qemu_guest_agent property with a value of yes . A list of key-value string pairs. For example, ["hw_scsi_model": "virtio-scsi", "hw_disk_bus": "scsi"] . platform.openstack.defaultMachinePlatform The default machine pool platform configuration. { "type": "ml.large", "rootVolume": { "size": 30, "type": "performance" } } platform.openstack.ingressFloatingIP An existing floating IP address to associate with the Ingress port. To use this property, you must also define the platform.openstack.externalNetwork property. An IP address, for example 128.0.0.1 . platform.openstack.apiFloatingIP An existing floating IP address to associate with the API load balancer. To use this property, you must also define the platform.openstack.externalNetwork property. An IP address, for example 128.0.0.1 . platform.openstack.externalDNS IP addresses for external DNS servers that cluster instances use for DNS resolution. A list of IP addresses as strings. For example, ["8.8.8.8", "192.168.1.12"] . platform.openstack.machinesSubnet The UUID of a RHOSP subnet that the cluster's nodes use. Nodes and virtual IP (VIP) ports are created on this subnet. The first item in networking.machineNetwork must match the value of machinesSubnet . If you deploy to a custom subnet, you cannot specify an external DNS server to the OpenShift Container Platform installer. Instead, add DNS to the subnet in RHOSP . A UUID as a string. For example, fa806b2f-ac49-4bce-b9db-124bc64209bf . 19.6.14.6. Custom subnets in RHOSP deployments Optionally, you can deploy a cluster on a Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) subnet of your choice. The subnet's GUID is passed as the value of platform.openstack.machinesSubnet in the install-config.yaml file. This subnet is used as the cluster's primary subnet. By default, nodes and ports are created on it. You can create nodes and ports on a different RHOSP subnet by setting the value of the platform.openstack.machinesSubnet property to the subnet's UUID. Before you run the OpenShift Container Platform installer with a custom subnet, verify that your configuration meets the following requirements: The subnet that is used by platform.openstack.machinesSubnet has DHCP enabled. The CIDR of platform.openstack.machinesSubnet matches the CIDR of networking.machineNetwork . The installation program user has permission to create ports on this network, including ports with fixed IP addresses. Clusters that use custom subnets have the following limitations: If you plan to install a cluster that uses floating IP addresses, the platform.openstack.machinesSubnet subnet must be attached to a router that is connected to the externalNetwork network. If the platform.openstack.machinesSubnet value is set in the install-config.yaml file, the installation program does not create a private network or subnet for your RHOSP machines. You cannot use the platform.openstack.externalDNS property at the same time as a custom subnet. To add DNS to a cluster that uses a custom subnet, configure DNS on the RHOSP network. Note By default, the API VIP takes x.x.x.5 and the Ingress VIP takes x.x.x.7 from your network's CIDR block. To override these default values, set values for platform.openstack.apiVIP and platform.openstack.ingressVIP that are outside of the DHCP allocation pool. Important The CIDR ranges for networks are not adjustable after cluster installation. Red Hat does not provide direct guidance on determining the range during cluster installation because it requires careful consideration of the number of created pods per namespace. 19.6.14.7. Sample customized install-config.yaml file for RHOSP with Kuryr To deploy with Kuryr SDN instead of the default OpenShift SDN, you must modify the install-config.yaml file to include Kuryr as the desired networking.networkType and proceed with the default OpenShift Container Platform SDN installation steps. This sample install-config.yaml demonstrates all of the possible Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) customization options. Important This sample file is provided for reference only. You must obtain your install-config.yaml file by using the installation program. apiVersion: v1 baseDomain: example.com controlPlane: name: master platform: {} replicas: 3 compute: - name: worker platform: openstack: type: ml.large replicas: 3 metadata: name: example networking: clusterNetwork: - cidr: 10.128.0.0/14 hostPrefix: 23 machineNetwork: - cidr: 10.0.0.0/16 serviceNetwork: - 172.30.0.0/16 1 networkType: Kuryr platform: openstack: cloud: mycloud externalNetwork: external computeFlavor: m1.xlarge apiFloatingIP: 128.0.0.1 trunkSupport: true 2 octaviaSupport: true 3 pullSecret: '{"auths": ...}' sshKey: ssh-ed25519 AAAA... 1 The Amphora Octavia driver creates two ports per load balancer. As a result, the service subnet that the installer creates is twice the size of the CIDR that is specified as the value of the serviceNetwork property. The larger range is required to prevent IP address conflicts. 2 3 Both trunkSupport and octaviaSupport are automatically discovered by the installer, so there is no need to set them. But if your environment does not meet both requirements, Kuryr SDN will not properly work. Trunks are needed to connect the pods to the RHOSP network and Octavia is required to create the OpenShift Container Platform services. 19.6.14.8. Cluster deployment on RHOSP provider networks You can deploy your OpenShift Container Platform clusters on Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) with a primary network interface on a provider network. Provider networks are commonly used to give projects direct access to a public network that can be used to reach the internet. You can also share provider networks among projects as part of the network creation process. RHOSP provider networks map directly to an existing physical network in the data center. A RHOSP administrator must create them. In the following example, OpenShift Container Platform workloads are connected to a data center by using a provider network: OpenShift Container Platform clusters that are installed on provider networks do not require tenant networks or floating IP addresses. The installer does not create these resources during installation. Example provider network types include flat (untagged) and VLAN (802.1Q tagged). Note A cluster can support as many provider network connections as the network type allows. For example, VLAN networks typically support up to 4096 connections. You can learn more about provider and tenant networks in the RHOSP documentation . 19.6.14.8.1. RHOSP provider network requirements for cluster installation Before you install an OpenShift Container Platform cluster, your Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) deployment and provider network must meet a number of conditions: The RHOSP networking service (Neutron) is enabled and accessible through the RHOSP networking API. The RHOSP networking service has the port security and allowed address pairs extensions enabled . The provider network can be shared with other tenants. Tip Use the openstack network create command with the --share flag to create a network that can be shared. The RHOSP project that you use to install the cluster must own the provider network, as well as an appropriate subnet. Tip To create a network for a project that is named "openshift," enter the following command USD openstack network create --project openshift To create a subnet for a project that is named "openshift," enter the following command USD openstack subnet create --project openshift To learn more about creating networks on RHOSP, read the provider networks documentation . If the cluster is owned by the admin user, you must run the installer as that user to create ports on the network. Important Provider networks must be owned by the RHOSP project that is used to create the cluster. If they are not, the RHOSP Compute service (Nova) cannot request a port from that network. Verify that the provider network can reach the RHOSP metadata service IP address, which is 169.254.169.254 by default. Depending on your RHOSP SDN and networking service configuration, you might need to provide the route when you create the subnet. For example: USD openstack subnet create --dhcp --host-route destination=169.254.169.254/32,gateway=192.0.2.2 ... Optional: To secure the network, create role-based access control (RBAC) rules that limit network access to a single project. 19.6.14.8.2. Deploying a cluster that has a primary interface on a provider network You can deploy an OpenShift Container Platform cluster that has its primary network interface on an Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) provider network. Prerequisites Your Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) deployment is configured as described by "RHOSP provider network requirements for cluster installation". Procedure In a text editor, open the install-config.yaml file. Set the value of the platform.openstack.apiVIP property to the IP address for the API VIP. Set the value of the platform.openstack.ingressVIP property to the IP address for the Ingress VIP. Set the value of the platform.openstack.machinesSubnet property to the UUID of the provider network subnet. Set the value of the networking.machineNetwork.cidr property to the CIDR block of the provider network subnet. Important The platform.openstack.apiVIP and platform.openstack.ingressVIP properties must both be unassigned IP addresses from the networking.machineNetwork.cidr block. Section of an installation configuration file for a cluster that relies on a RHOSP provider network ... platform: openstack: apiVIP: 192.0.2.13 ingressVIP: 192.0.2.23 machinesSubnet: fa806b2f-ac49-4bce-b9db-124bc64209bf # ... networking: machineNetwork: - cidr: 192.0.2.0/24 Warning You cannot set the platform.openstack.externalNetwork or platform.openstack.externalDNS parameters while using a provider network for the primary network interface. When you deploy the cluster, the installer uses the install-config.yaml file to deploy the cluster on the provider network. Tip You can add additional networks, including provider networks, to the platform.openstack.additionalNetworkIDs list. After you deploy your cluster, you can attach pods to additional networks. For more information, see Understanding multiple networks . 19.6.14.9. Kuryr ports pools A Kuryr ports pool maintains a number of ports on standby for pod creation. Keeping ports on standby minimizes pod creation time. Without ports pools, Kuryr must explicitly request port creation or deletion whenever a pod is created or deleted. The Neutron ports that Kuryr uses are created in subnets that are tied to namespaces. These pod ports are also added as subports to the primary port of OpenShift Container Platform cluster nodes. Because Kuryr keeps each namespace in a separate subnet, a separate ports pool is maintained for each namespace-worker pair. Prior to installing a cluster, you can set the following parameters in the cluster-network-03-config.yml manifest file to configure ports pool behavior: The enablePortPoolsPrepopulation parameter controls pool prepopulation, which forces Kuryr to add Neutron ports to the pools when the first pod that is configured to use the dedicated network for pods is created in a namespace. The default value is false . The poolMinPorts parameter is the minimum number of free ports that are kept in the pool. The default value is 1 . The poolMaxPorts parameter is the maximum number of free ports that are kept in the pool. A value of 0 disables that upper bound. This is the default setting. If your OpenStack port quota is low, or you have a limited number of IP addresses on the pod network, consider setting this option to ensure that unneeded ports are deleted. The poolBatchPorts parameter defines the maximum number of Neutron ports that can be created at once. The default value is 3 . 19.6.14.10. Adjusting Kuryr ports pools during installation During installation, you can configure how Kuryr manages Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) Neutron ports to control the speed and efficiency of pod creation. Prerequisites Create and modify the install-config.yaml file. Procedure From a command line, create the manifest files: USD ./openshift-install create manifests --dir <installation_directory> 1 1 For <installation_directory> , specify the name of the directory that contains the install-config.yaml file for your cluster. Create a file that is named cluster-network-03-config.yml in the <installation_directory>/manifests/ directory: USD touch <installation_directory>/manifests/cluster-network-03-config.yml 1 1 For <installation_directory> , specify the directory name that contains the manifests/ directory for your cluster. After creating the file, several network configuration files are in the manifests/ directory, as shown: USD ls <installation_directory>/manifests/cluster-network-* Example output cluster-network-01-crd.yml cluster-network-02-config.yml cluster-network-03-config.yml Open the cluster-network-03-config.yml file in an editor, and enter a custom resource (CR) that describes the Cluster Network Operator configuration that you want: USD oc edit networks.operator.openshift.io cluster Edit the settings to meet your requirements. The following file is provided as an example: apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1 kind: Network metadata: name: cluster spec: clusterNetwork: - cidr: 10.128.0.0/14 hostPrefix: 23 serviceNetwork: - 172.30.0.0/16 defaultNetwork: type: Kuryr kuryrConfig: enablePortPoolsPrepopulation: false 1 poolMinPorts: 1 2 poolBatchPorts: 3 3 poolMaxPorts: 5 4 openstackServiceNetwork: 172.30.0.0/15 5 1 Set enablePortPoolsPrepopulation to true to make Kuryr create new Neutron ports when the first pod on the network for pods is created in a namespace. This setting raises the Neutron ports quota but can reduce the time that is required to spawn pods. The default value is false . 2 Kuryr creates new ports for a pool if the number of free ports in that pool is lower than the value of poolMinPorts . The default value is 1 . 3 poolBatchPorts controls the number of new ports that are created if the number of free ports is lower than the value of poolMinPorts . The default value is 3 . 4 If the number of free ports in a pool is higher than the value of poolMaxPorts , Kuryr deletes them until the number matches that value. Setting this value to 0 disables this upper bound, preventing pools from shrinking. The default value is 0 . 5 The openStackServiceNetwork parameter defines the CIDR range of the network from which IP addresses are allocated to RHOSP Octavia's LoadBalancers. If this parameter is used with the Amphora driver, Octavia takes two IP addresses from this network for each load balancer: one for OpenShift and the other for VRRP connections. Because these IP addresses are managed by OpenShift Container Platform and Neutron respectively, they must come from different pools. Therefore, the value of openStackServiceNetwork must be at least twice the size of the value of serviceNetwork , and the value of serviceNetwork must overlap entirely with the range that is defined by openStackServiceNetwork . The CNO verifies that VRRP IP addresses that are taken from the range that is defined by this parameter do not overlap with the range that is defined by the serviceNetwork parameter. If this parameter is not set, the CNO uses an expanded value of serviceNetwork that is determined by decrementing the prefix size by 1. Save the cluster-network-03-config.yml file, and exit the text editor. Optional: Back up the manifests/cluster-network-03-config.yml file. The installation program deletes the manifests/ directory while creating the cluster. 19.6.14.11. Setting a custom subnet for machines The IP range that the installation program uses by default might not match the Neutron subnet that you create when you install OpenShift Container Platform. If necessary, update the CIDR value for new machines by editing the installation configuration file. Prerequisites You have the install-config.yaml file that was generated by the OpenShift Container Platform installation program. Procedure On a command line, browse to the directory that contains install-config.yaml . From that directory, either run a script to edit the install-config.yaml file or update the file manually: To set the value by using a script, run: USD python -c ' import yaml; path = "install-config.yaml"; data = yaml.safe_load(open(path)); data["networking"]["machineNetwork"] = [{"cidr": "192.168.0.0/18"}]; 1 open(path, "w").write(yaml.dump(data, default_flow_style=False))' 1 Insert a value that matches your intended Neutron subnet, e.g. 192.0.2.0/24 . To set the value manually, open the file and set the value of networking.machineCIDR to something that matches your intended Neutron subnet. 19.6.14.12. Emptying compute machine pools To proceed with an installation that uses your own infrastructure, set the number of compute machines in the installation configuration file to zero. Later, you create these machines manually. Prerequisites You have the install-config.yaml file that was generated by the OpenShift Container Platform installation program. Procedure On a command line, browse to the directory that contains install-config.yaml . From that directory, either run a script to edit the install-config.yaml file or update the file manually: To set the value by using a script, run: USD python -c ' import yaml; path = "install-config.yaml"; data = yaml.safe_load(open(path)); data["compute"][0]["replicas"] = 0; open(path, "w").write(yaml.dump(data, default_flow_style=False))' To set the value manually, open the file and set the value of compute.<first entry>.replicas to 0 . 19.6.14.13. Modifying the network type By default, the installation program selects the OpenShiftSDN network type. To use Kuryr instead, change the value in the installation configuration file that the program generated. Prerequisites You have the file install-config.yaml that was generated by the OpenShift Container Platform installation program Procedure In a command prompt, browse to the directory that contains install-config.yaml . From that directory, either run a script to edit the install-config.yaml file or update the file manually: To set the value by using a script, run: USD python -c ' import yaml; path = "install-config.yaml"; data = yaml.safe_load(open(path)); data["networking"]["networkType"] = "Kuryr"; open(path, "w").write(yaml.dump(data, default_flow_style=False))' To set the value manually, open the file and set networking.networkType to "Kuryr" . 19.6.15. Creating the Kubernetes manifest and Ignition config files Because you must modify some cluster definition files and manually start the cluster machines, you must generate the Kubernetes manifest and Ignition config files that the cluster needs to configure the machines. The installation configuration file transforms into the Kubernetes manifests. The manifests wrap into the Ignition configuration files, which are later used to configure the cluster machines. Important The Ignition config files that the OpenShift Container Platform 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. Prerequisites You obtained the OpenShift Container Platform installation program. You created the install-config.yaml installation configuration file. Procedure Change to the directory that contains the OpenShift Container Platform installation program and generate the Kubernetes manifests for the cluster: USD ./openshift-install create manifests --dir <installation_directory> 1 1 For <installation_directory> , specify the installation directory that contains the install-config.yaml file you created. Remove the Kubernetes manifest files that define the control plane machines and compute machine sets: USD rm -f openshift/99_openshift-cluster-api_master-machines-*.yaml openshift/99_openshift-cluster-api_worker-machineset-*.yaml Because you create and manage these resources yourself, you do not have to initialize them. You can preserve the machine set files to create compute machines by using the machine API, but you must update references to them to match your environment. Check that the mastersSchedulable parameter in the <installation_directory>/manifests/cluster-scheduler-02-config.yml Kubernetes manifest file is set to false . This setting prevents pods from being scheduled on the control plane machines: Open the <installation_directory>/manifests/cluster-scheduler-02-config.yml file. Locate the mastersSchedulable parameter and ensure that it is set to false . Save and exit the file. To create the Ignition configuration files, run the following command from the directory that contains the installation program: USD ./openshift-install create ignition-configs --dir <installation_directory> 1 1 For <installation_directory> , specify the same installation directory. Ignition config files are created for the bootstrap, control plane, and compute nodes in the installation directory. The kubeadmin-password and kubeconfig files are created in the ./<installation_directory>/auth directory: Export the metadata file's infraID key as an environment variable: USD export INFRA_ID=USD(jq -r .infraID metadata.json) Tip Extract the infraID key from metadata.json and use it as a prefix for all of the RHOSP resources that you create. By doing so, you avoid name conflicts when making multiple deployments in the same project. 19.6.16. Preparing the bootstrap Ignition files The OpenShift Container Platform installation process relies on bootstrap machines that are created from a bootstrap Ignition configuration file. Edit the file and upload it. Then, create a secondary bootstrap Ignition configuration file that Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) uses to download the primary file. Prerequisites You have the bootstrap Ignition file that the installer program generates, bootstrap.ign . The infrastructure ID from the installer's metadata file is set as an environment variable ( USDINFRA_ID ). If the variable is not set, see Creating the Kubernetes manifest and Ignition config files . You have an HTTP(S)-accessible way to store the bootstrap Ignition file. The documented procedure uses the RHOSP image service (Glance), but you can also use the RHOSP storage service (Swift), Amazon S3, an internal HTTP server, or an ad hoc Nova server. Procedure Run the following Python script. The script modifies the bootstrap Ignition file to set the hostname and, if available, CA certificate file when it runs: import base64 import json import os with open('bootstrap.ign', 'r') as f: ignition = json.load(f) files = ignition['storage'].get('files', []) infra_id = os.environ.get('INFRA_ID', 'openshift').encode() hostname_b64 = base64.standard_b64encode(infra_id + b'-bootstrap\n').decode().strip() files.append( { 'path': '/etc/hostname', 'mode': 420, 'contents': { 'source': 'data:text/plain;charset=utf-8;base64,' + hostname_b64 } }) ca_cert_path = os.environ.get('OS_CACERT', '') if ca_cert_path: with open(ca_cert_path, 'r') as f: ca_cert = f.read().encode() ca_cert_b64 = base64.standard_b64encode(ca_cert).decode().strip() files.append( { 'path': '/opt/openshift/tls/cloud-ca-cert.pem', 'mode': 420, 'contents': { 'source': 'data:text/plain;charset=utf-8;base64,' + ca_cert_b64 } }) ignition['storage']['files'] = files; with open('bootstrap.ign', 'w') as f: json.dump(ignition, f) Using the RHOSP CLI, create an image that uses the bootstrap Ignition file: USD openstack image create --disk-format=raw --container-format=bare --file bootstrap.ign <image_name> Get the image's details: USD openstack image show <image_name> Make a note of the file value; it follows the pattern v2/images/<image_ID>/file . Note Verify that the image you created is active. Retrieve the image service's public address: USD openstack catalog show image Combine the public address with the image file value and save the result as the storage location. The location follows the pattern <image_service_public_URL>/v2/images/<image_ID>/file . Generate an auth token and save the token ID: USD openstack token issue -c id -f value Insert the following content into a file called USDINFRA_ID-bootstrap-ignition.json and edit the placeholders to match your own values: { "ignition": { "config": { "merge": [{ "source": "<storage_url>", 1 "httpHeaders": [{ "name": "X-Auth-Token", 2 "value": "<token_ID>" 3 }] }] }, "security": { "tls": { "certificateAuthorities": [{ "source": "data:text/plain;charset=utf-8;base64,<base64_encoded_certificate>" 4 }] } }, "version": "3.2.0" } } 1 Replace the value of ignition.config.merge.source with the bootstrap Ignition file storage URL. 2 Set name in httpHeaders to "X-Auth-Token" . 3 Set value in httpHeaders to your token's ID. 4 If the bootstrap Ignition file server uses a self-signed certificate, include the base64-encoded certificate. Save the secondary Ignition config file. The bootstrap Ignition data will be passed to RHOSP during installation. Warning The bootstrap Ignition file contains sensitive information, like clouds.yaml credentials. Ensure that you store it in a secure place, and delete it after you complete the installation process. 19.6.17. Creating control plane Ignition config files on RHOSP Installing OpenShift Container Platform on Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) on your own infrastructure requires control plane Ignition config files. You must create multiple config files. Note As with the bootstrap Ignition configuration, you must explicitly define a hostname for each control plane machine. Prerequisites The infrastructure ID from the installation program's metadata file is set as an environment variable ( USDINFRA_ID ). If the variable is not set, see "Creating the Kubernetes manifest and Ignition config files". Procedure On a command line, run the following Python script: USD for index in USD(seq 0 2); do MASTER_HOSTNAME="USDINFRA_ID-master-USDindex\n" python -c "import base64, json, sys; ignition = json.load(sys.stdin); storage = ignition.get('storage', {}); files = storage.get('files', []); files.append({'path': '/etc/hostname', 'mode': 420, 'contents': {'source': 'data:text/plain;charset=utf-8;base64,' + base64.standard_b64encode(b'USDMASTER_HOSTNAME').decode().strip(), 'verification': {}}, 'filesystem': 'root'}); storage['files'] = files; ignition['storage'] = storage json.dump(ignition, sys.stdout)" <master.ign >"USDINFRA_ID-master-USDindex-ignition.json" done You now have three control plane Ignition files: <INFRA_ID>-master-0-ignition.json , <INFRA_ID>-master-1-ignition.json , and <INFRA_ID>-master-2-ignition.json . 19.6.18. Creating network resources on RHOSP Create the network resources that an OpenShift Container Platform on Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) installation on your own infrastructure requires. To save time, run supplied Ansible playbooks that generate security groups, networks, subnets, routers, and ports. Prerequisites Python 3 is installed on your machine. You downloaded the modules in "Downloading playbook dependencies". You downloaded the playbooks in "Downloading the installation playbooks". Procedure Optional: Add an external network value to the inventory.yaml playbook: Example external network value in the inventory.yaml Ansible playbook ... # The public network providing connectivity to the cluster. If not # provided, the cluster external connectivity must be provided in another # way. # Required for os_api_fip, os_ingress_fip, os_bootstrap_fip. os_external_network: 'external' ... Important If you did not provide a value for os_external_network in the inventory.yaml file, you must ensure that VMs can access Glance and an external connection yourself. Optional: Add external network and floating IP (FIP) address values to the inventory.yaml playbook: Example FIP values in the inventory.yaml Ansible playbook ... # OpenShift API floating IP address. If this value is non-empty, the # corresponding floating IP will be attached to the Control Plane to # serve the OpenShift API. os_api_fip: '203.0.113.23' # OpenShift Ingress floating IP address. If this value is non-empty, the # corresponding floating IP will be attached to the worker nodes to serve # the applications. os_ingress_fip: '203.0.113.19' # If this value is non-empty, the corresponding floating IP will be # attached to the bootstrap machine. This is needed for collecting logs # in case of install failure. os_bootstrap_fip: '203.0.113.20' Important If you do not define values for os_api_fip and os_ingress_fip , you must perform postinstallation network configuration. If you do not define a value for os_bootstrap_fip , the installer cannot download debugging information from failed installations. See "Enabling access to the environment" for more information. On a command line, create security groups by running the security-groups.yaml playbook: USD ansible-playbook -i inventory.yaml security-groups.yaml On a command line, create a network, subnet, and router by running the network.yaml playbook: USD ansible-playbook -i inventory.yaml network.yaml Optional: If you want to control the default resolvers that Nova servers use, run the RHOSP CLI command: USD openstack subnet set --dns-nameserver <server_1> --dns-nameserver <server_2> "USDINFRA_ID-nodes" 19.6.19. Creating the bootstrap machine on RHOSP Create a bootstrap machine and give it the network access it needs to run on Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP). Red Hat provides an Ansible playbook that you run to simplify this process. Prerequisites You downloaded the modules in "Downloading playbook dependencies". You downloaded the playbooks in "Downloading the installation playbooks". The inventory.yaml , common.yaml , and bootstrap.yaml Ansible playbooks are in a common directory. The metadata.json file that the installation program created is in the same directory as the Ansible playbooks. Procedure On a command line, change the working directory to the location of the playbooks. On a command line, run the bootstrap.yaml playbook: USD ansible-playbook -i inventory.yaml bootstrap.yaml After the bootstrap server is active, view the logs to verify that the Ignition files were received: USD openstack console log show "USDINFRA_ID-bootstrap" 19.6.20. Creating the control plane machines on RHOSP Create three control plane machines by using the Ignition config files that you generated. Red Hat provides an Ansible playbook that you run to simplify this process. Prerequisites You downloaded the modules in "Downloading playbook dependencies". You downloaded the playbooks in "Downloading the installation playbooks". The infrastructure ID from the installation program's metadata file is set as an environment variable ( USDINFRA_ID ). The inventory.yaml , common.yaml , and control-plane.yaml Ansible playbooks are in a common directory. You have the three Ignition files that were created in "Creating control plane Ignition config files". Procedure On a command line, change the working directory to the location of the playbooks. If the control plane Ignition config files aren't already in your working directory, copy them into it. On a command line, run the control-plane.yaml playbook: USD ansible-playbook -i inventory.yaml control-plane.yaml Run the following command to monitor the bootstrapping process: USD openshift-install wait-for bootstrap-complete You will see messages that confirm that the control plane machines are running and have joined the cluster: INFO API v1.24.0 up INFO Waiting up to 30m0s for bootstrapping to complete... ... INFO It is now safe to remove the bootstrap resources 19.6.21. 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 19.6.22. Deleting bootstrap resources from RHOSP Delete the bootstrap resources that you no longer need. Prerequisites You downloaded the modules in "Downloading playbook dependencies". You downloaded the playbooks in "Downloading the installation playbooks". The inventory.yaml , common.yaml , and down-bootstrap.yaml Ansible playbooks are in a common directory. The control plane machines are running. If you do not know the status of the machines, see "Verifying cluster status". Procedure On a command line, change the working directory to the location of the playbooks. On a command line, run the down-bootstrap.yaml playbook: USD ansible-playbook -i inventory.yaml down-bootstrap.yaml The bootstrap port, server, and floating IP address are deleted. Warning If you did not disable the bootstrap Ignition file URL earlier, do so now. 19.6.23. Creating compute machines on RHOSP After standing up the control plane, create compute machines. Red Hat provides an Ansible playbook that you run to simplify this process. Prerequisites You downloaded the modules in "Downloading playbook dependencies". You downloaded the playbooks in "Downloading the installation playbooks". The inventory.yaml , common.yaml , and compute-nodes.yaml Ansible playbooks are in a common directory. The metadata.json file that the installation program created is in the same directory as the Ansible playbooks. The control plane is active. Procedure On a command line, change the working directory to the location of the playbooks. On a command line, run the playbook: USD ansible-playbook -i inventory.yaml compute-nodes.yaml steps Approve the certificate signing requests for the machines. 19.6.24. 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 v1.24.0 master-1 Ready master 63m v1.24.0 master-2 Ready master 64m v1.24.0 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 v1.24.0 master-1 Ready master 73m v1.24.0 master-2 Ready master 74m v1.24.0 worker-0 Ready worker 11m v1.24.0 worker-1 Ready worker 11m v1.24.0 Note It can take a few minutes after approval of the server CSRs for the machines to transition to the Ready status. Additional information For more information on CSRs, see Certificate Signing Requests . 19.6.25. Verifying a successful installation Verify that the OpenShift Container Platform installation is complete. Prerequisites You have the installation program ( openshift-install ) Procedure On a command line, enter: USD openshift-install --log-level debug wait-for install-complete The program outputs the console URL, as well as the administrator's login information. 19.6.26. Telemetry access for OpenShift Container Platform In OpenShift Container Platform 4.11, 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 See About remote health monitoring for more information about the Telemetry service 19.6.27. steps Customize your cluster . If necessary, you can opt out of remote health reporting . If you need to enable external access to node ports, configure ingress cluster traffic by using a node port . If you did not configure RHOSP to accept application traffic over floating IP addresses, configure RHOSP access with floating IP addresses . 19.7. Installing a cluster on OpenStack in a restricted network In OpenShift Container Platform 4.11, you can install a cluster on Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) in a restricted network by creating an internal mirror of the installation release content. 19.7.1. 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 verified that OpenShift Container Platform 4.11 is compatible with your RHOSP version by using the Supported platforms for OpenShift clusters section. You can also compare platform support across different versions by viewing the OpenShift Container Platform on RHOSP support matrix . You created a registry on your mirror host and obtained the imageContentSources data for your version of OpenShift Container Platform. Important Because the installation media is on the mirror host, you can use that computer to complete all installation steps. You understand performance and scalability practices for cluster scaling, control plane sizing, and etcd. For more information, see Recommended host practices . You have the metadata service enabled in RHOSP. 19.7.2. About installations in restricted networks In OpenShift Container Platform 4.11, you can perform an installation that does not require an active connection to the internet to obtain software components. Restricted network installations can be completed using installer-provisioned infrastructure or user-provisioned infrastructure, depending on the cloud platform to which you are installing the cluster. If you choose to perform a restricted network installation on a cloud platform, you still require access to its cloud APIs. Some cloud functions, like Amazon Web Service's Route 53 DNS and IAM services, require internet access. Depending on your network, you might require less internet access for an installation on bare metal hardware or on VMware vSphere. To complete a restricted network installation, you must create a registry that mirrors the contents of the OpenShift image registry and contains the installation media. You can create this registry on a mirror host, which can access both the internet and your closed network, or by using other methods that meet your restrictions. 19.7.2.1. Additional limits Clusters in restricted networks have the following additional limitations and restrictions: The ClusterVersion status includes an Unable to retrieve available updates error. By default, you cannot use the contents of the Developer Catalog because you cannot access the required image stream tags. 19.7.3. Resource guidelines for installing OpenShift Container Platform on RHOSP To support an OpenShift Container Platform installation, your Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) quota must meet the following requirements: Table 19.25. Recommended resources for a default OpenShift Container Platform cluster on RHOSP Resource Value Floating IP addresses 3 Ports 15 Routers 1 Subnets 1 RAM 88 GB vCPUs 22 Volume storage 275 GB Instances 7 Security groups 3 Security group rules 60 Server groups 2 - plus 1 for each additional availability zone in each machine pool A cluster might function with fewer than recommended resources, but its performance is not guaranteed. Important If RHOSP object storage (Swift) is available and operated by a user account with the swiftoperator role, it is used as the default backend for the OpenShift Container Platform image registry. In this case, the volume storage requirement is 175 GB. Swift space requirements vary depending on the size of the image registry. Note By default, your security group and security group rule quotas might be low. If you encounter problems, run openstack quota set --secgroups 3 --secgroup-rules 60 <project> as an administrator to increase them. An OpenShift Container Platform deployment comprises control plane machines, compute machines, and a bootstrap machine. 19.7.3.1. Control plane machines By default, the OpenShift Container Platform installation process creates three control plane machines. Each machine requires: An instance from the RHOSP quota A port from the RHOSP quota A flavor with at least 16 GB memory and 4 vCPUs At least 100 GB storage space from the RHOSP quota 19.7.3.2. Compute machines By default, the OpenShift Container Platform installation process creates three compute machines. Each machine requires: An instance from the RHOSP quota A port from the RHOSP quota A flavor with at least 8 GB memory and 2 vCPUs At least 100 GB storage space from the RHOSP quota Tip Compute machines host the applications that you run on OpenShift Container Platform; aim to run as many as you can. 19.7.3.3. Bootstrap machine During installation, a bootstrap machine is temporarily provisioned to stand up the control plane. After the production control plane is ready, the bootstrap machine is deprovisioned. The bootstrap machine requires: An instance from the RHOSP quota A port from the RHOSP quota A flavor with at least 16 GB memory and 4 vCPUs At least 100 GB storage space from the RHOSP quota 19.7.4. Internet access for OpenShift Container Platform In OpenShift Container Platform 4.11, you require access to the internet to obtain the images that are necessary 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. 19.7.5. Enabling Swift on RHOSP Swift is operated by a user account with the swiftoperator role. Add the role to an account before you run the installation program. Important If the Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) object storage service , commonly known as Swift, is available, OpenShift Container Platform uses it as the image registry storage. If it is unavailable, the installation program relies on the RHOSP block storage service, commonly known as Cinder. If Swift is present and you want to use it, you must enable access to it. If it is not present, or if you do not want to use it, skip this section. Important RHOSP 17 sets the rgw_max_attr_size parameter of Ceph RGW to 256 characters. This setting causes issues with uploading container images to the OpenShift Container Platform registry. You must set the value of rgw_max_attr_size to at least 1024 characters. Before installation, check if your RHOSP deployment is affected by this problem. If it is, reconfigure Ceph RGW. Prerequisites You have a RHOSP administrator account on the target environment. The Swift service is installed. On Ceph RGW , the account in url option is enabled. Procedure To enable Swift on RHOSP: As an administrator in the RHOSP CLI, add the swiftoperator role to the account that will access Swift: USD openstack role add --user <user> --project <project> swiftoperator Your RHOSP deployment can now use Swift for the image registry. 19.7.6. Defining parameters for the installation program The OpenShift Container Platform installation program relies on a file that is called clouds.yaml . The file describes Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) configuration parameters, including the project name, log in information, and authorization service URLs. Procedure Create the clouds.yaml file: If your RHOSP distribution includes the Horizon web UI, generate a clouds.yaml file in it. Important Remember to add a password to the auth field. You can also keep secrets in a separate file from clouds.yaml . OpenShift Container Platform does not support application credentials. If your RHOSP distribution does not include the Horizon web UI, or you do not want to use Horizon, create the file yourself. For detailed information about clouds.yaml , see Config files in the RHOSP documentation. clouds: shiftstack: auth: auth_url: http://10.10.14.42:5000/v3 project_name: shiftstack username: <username> password: <password> user_domain_name: Default project_domain_name: Default dev-env: region_name: RegionOne auth: username: <username> password: <password> project_name: 'devonly' auth_url: 'https://10.10.14.22:5001/v2.0' If your RHOSP installation uses self-signed certificate authority (CA) certificates for endpoint authentication: Copy the certificate authority file to your machine. Add the cacerts key to the clouds.yaml file. The value must be an absolute, non-root-accessible path to the CA certificate: clouds: shiftstack: ... cacert: "/etc/pki/ca-trust/source/anchors/ca.crt.pem" Tip After you run the installer with a custom CA certificate, you can update the certificate by editing the value of the ca-cert.pem key in the cloud-provider-config keymap. On a command line, run: USD oc edit configmap -n openshift-config cloud-provider-config Place the clouds.yaml file in one of the following locations: The value of the OS_CLIENT_CONFIG_FILE environment variable The current directory A Unix-specific user configuration directory, for example ~/.config/openstack/clouds.yaml A Unix-specific site configuration directory, for example /etc/openstack/clouds.yaml The installation program searches for clouds.yaml in that order. 19.7.7. Setting cloud provider options Optionally, you can edit the cloud provider configuration for your cluster. The cloud provider configuration controls how OpenShift Container Platform interacts with Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP). For a complete list of cloud provider configuration parameters, see the "OpenStack cloud configuration reference guide" page in the "Installing on OpenStack" documentation. Procedure If you have not already generated manifest files for your cluster, generate them by running the following command: USD openshift-install --dir <destination_directory> create manifests In a text editor, open the cloud-provider configuration manifest file. For example: USD vi openshift/manifests/cloud-provider-config.yaml Modify the options based on the cloud configuration specification. Configuring Octavia for load balancing is a common case for clusters that do not use Kuryr. For example: #... [LoadBalancer] use-octavia=true 1 lb-provider = "amphora" 2 floating-network-id="d3deb660-4190-40a3-91f1-37326fe6ec4a" 3 create-monitor = True 4 monitor-delay = 10s 5 monitor-timeout = 10s 6 monitor-max-retries = 1 7 #... 1 This property enables Octavia integration. 2 This property sets the Octavia provider that your load balancer uses. It accepts "ovn" or "amphora" as values. If you choose to use OVN, you must also set lb-method to SOURCE_IP_PORT . 3 This property is required if you want to use multiple external networks with your cluster. The cloud provider creates floating IP addresses on the network that is specified here. 4 This property controls whether the cloud provider creates health monitors for Octavia load balancers. Set the value to True to create health monitors. As of RHOSP 16.1 and 16.2, this feature is only available for the Amphora provider. 5 This property sets the frequency with which endpoints are monitored. The value must be in the time.ParseDuration() format. This property is required if the value of the create-monitor property is True . 6 This property sets the time that monitoring requests are open before timing out. The value must be in the time.ParseDuration() format. This property is required if the value of the create-monitor property is True . 7 This property defines how many successful monitoring requests are required before a load balancer is marked as online. The value must be an integer. This property is required if the value of the create-monitor property is True . Important Prior to saving your changes, verify that the file is structured correctly. Clusters might fail if properties are not placed in the appropriate section. Important You must set the value of the create-monitor property to True if you use services that have the value of the .spec.externalTrafficPolicy property set to Local . The OVN Octavia provider in RHOSP 16.1 and 16.2 does not support health monitors. Therefore, services that have ETP parameter values set to Local might not respond when the lb-provider value is set to "ovn" . Important For installations that use Kuryr, Kuryr handles relevant services. There is no need to configure Octavia load balancing in the cloud provider. Save the changes to the file and proceed with installation. Tip You can update your cloud provider configuration after you run the installer. On a command line, run: USD oc edit configmap -n openshift-config cloud-provider-config After you save your changes, your cluster will take some time to reconfigure itself. The process is complete if none of your nodes have a SchedulingDisabled status. 19.7.7.1. External load balancers that use pre-defined floating IP addresses Commonly, Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) deployments disallow non-administrator users from creating specific floating IP addresses. If such a policy is in place and you use a floating IP address in your service specification, the cloud provider will fail to handle IP address assignment to load balancers. If you use an external cloud provider, you can avoid this problem by pre-creating a floating IP address and specifying it in your service specification. The in-tree cloud provider does not support this method. Alternatively, you can modify the RHOSP Networking service (Neutron) to allow non-administrator users to create specific floating IP addresses . Additional resources For more information about cloud provider configuration, see OpenStack cloud provider options . 19.7.8. Creating the RHCOS image for restricted network installations Download the Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) image to install OpenShift Container Platform on a restricted network Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) environment. Prerequisites Obtain the OpenShift Container Platform installation program. For a restricted network installation, the program is on your mirror registry host. Procedure Log in to the Red Hat Customer Portal's Product Downloads page . Under Version , select the most recent release of OpenShift Container Platform 4.11 for RHEL 8. Important The RHCOS images might not change with every release of OpenShift Container Platform. You must download images with the highest version that is less than or equal to the OpenShift Container Platform version that you install. Use the image versions that match your OpenShift Container Platform version if they are available. Download the Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) - OpenStack Image (QCOW) image. Decompress the image. Note You must decompress the image before the cluster can use it. The name of the downloaded file might not contain a compression extension, like .gz or .tgz . To find out if or how the file is compressed, in a command line, enter: Upload the image that you decompressed to a location that is accessible from the bastion server, like Glance. For example: Important Depending on your RHOSP environment, you might be able to upload the image in either .raw or .qcow2 formats . If you use Ceph, you must use the .raw format. Warning If the installation program finds multiple images with the same name, it chooses one of them at random. To avoid this behavior, create unique names for resources in RHOSP. The image is now available for a restricted installation. Note the image name or location for use in OpenShift Container Platform deployment. 19.7.9. Creating the installation configuration file You can customize the OpenShift Container Platform cluster you install on Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP). Prerequisites Obtain the OpenShift Container Platform installation program and the pull secret for your cluster. For a restricted network installation, these files are on your mirror host. Have the imageContentSources values that were generated during mirror registry creation. Obtain the contents of the certificate for your mirror registry. Retrieve a Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS (RHCOS) image and upload it to an accessible location. 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. 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 openstack as the platform to target. Specify the Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) external network name to use for installing the cluster. Specify the floating IP address to use for external access to the OpenShift API. Specify a RHOSP flavor with at least 16 GB RAM to use for control plane nodes and 8 GB RAM for compute nodes. Select the base domain to deploy the cluster to. All DNS records will be sub-domains of this base and will also include the cluster name. Enter a name for your cluster. The name must be 14 or fewer characters long. Paste the pull secret from the Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager . In the install-config.yaml file, set the value of platform.openstack.clusterOSImage to the image location or name. For example: platform: openstack: clusterOSImage: http://mirror.example.com/images/rhcos-43.81.201912131630.0-openstack.x86_64.qcow2.gz?sha256=ffebbd68e8a1f2a245ca19522c16c86f67f9ac8e4e0c1f0a812b068b16f7265d Edit the install-config.yaml file to give the additional information that is required for an installation in a restricted network. Update the pullSecret value to contain the authentication information for your registry: pullSecret: '{"auths":{"<mirror_host_name>:5000": {"auth": "<credentials>","email": "you@example.com"}}}' For <mirror_host_name> , specify the registry domain name that you specified in the certificate for your mirror registry, and for <credentials> , specify the base64-encoded user name and password for your mirror registry. Add the additionalTrustBundle parameter and value. additionalTrustBundle: | -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ -----END CERTIFICATE----- The value must be the contents of the certificate file that you used for your mirror registry. The certificate file can be an existing, trusted certificate authority, or the self-signed certificate that you generated for the mirror registry. Add the image content resources, which resemble the following YAML excerpt: imageContentSources: - mirrors: - <mirror_host_name>:5000/<repo_name>/release source: quay.io/openshift-release-dev/ocp-release - mirrors: - <mirror_host_name>:5000/<repo_name>/release source: registry.redhat.io/ocp/release For these values, use the imageContentSources that you recorded during mirror registry creation. Make any other modifications to the install-config.yaml file that you require. 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. 19.7.9.1. 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. Note Kuryr installations default to HTTP proxies. Prerequisites For Kuryr installations on restricted networks that use the Proxy object, the proxy must be able to reply to the router that the cluster uses. To add a static route for the proxy configuration, from a command line as the root user, enter: USD ip route add <cluster_network_cidr> via <installer_subnet_gateway> The restricted subnet must have a gateway that is defined and available to be linked to the Router resource that Kuryr creates. 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----- 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. 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. 19.7.9.2. 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. 19.7.9.2.1. Required configuration parameters Required installation configuration parameters are described in the following table: Table 19.26. Required parameters Parameter Description Values apiVersion The API version for the install-config.yaml content. The current version is v1 . The installer 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. Object metadata.name The name of the cluster. DNS records for the cluster are all subdomains of {{.metadata.name}}.{{.baseDomain}} . String of lowercase letters, hyphens ( - ), and periods ( . ), such as dev . The string must be 14 characters or fewer long. platform The configuration for the specific platform upon which to perform the installation: alibabacloud , aws , baremetal , azure , gcp , ibmcloud , nutanix , openstack , ovirt , vsphere , or {} . For additional information about platform.<platform> parameters, consult the table for your specific platform that follows. Object pullSecret Get a pull secret from the Red Hat OpenShift Cluster Manager to authenticate downloading container images for OpenShift Container Platform components from services such as Quay.io. { "auths":{ "cloud.openshift.com":{ "auth":"b3Blb=", "email":"you@example.com" }, "quay.io":{ "auth":"b3Blb=", "email":"you@example.com" } } } 19.7.9.2.2. 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 19.27. 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 cluster network provider Container Network Interface (CNI) cluster network provider to install. Either OpenShiftSDN or OVNKubernetes . OpenShiftSDN is a CNI provider for all-Linux networks. OVNKubernetes is a CNI provider for Linux networks and hybrid networks that contain both Linux and Windows servers.

The value can also be the name of an existing Glance image, for example my-rhcos . platform.openstack.clusterOSImageProperties Properties to add to the installer-uploaded ClusterOSImage in Glance. This property is ignored if platform.openstack.clusterOSImage is set to an existing Glance image. You can use this property to exceed the default persistent volume (PV) limit for RHOSP of 26 PVs per node. To exceed the limit, set the hw_scsi_model property value to virtio-scsi and the hw_disk_bus value to scsi . You can also use this property to enable the QEMU guest agent by including the hw_qemu_guest_agent property with a value of yes . A list of key-value string pairs.

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. Note If you plan to install an OpenShift Container Platform cluster that uses FIPS validated or Modules In Process cryptographic libraries on the x86_64 architecture, do not create a key that uses the ed25519 algorithm. Instead, create a key that uses the rsa or ecdsa algorithm. 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 Note If your cluster is in FIPS mode, only use FIPS-compliant algorithms to generate the SSH key. The key must be either RSA or ECDSA. 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. 19.7.11. Enabling access to the environment At deployment, all OpenShift Container Platform machines are created in a Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP)-tenant network. Therefore, they are not accessible directly in most RHOSP deployments. You can configure OpenShift Container Platform API and application access by using floating IP addresses (FIPs) during installation. You can also complete an installation without configuring FIPs, but the installer will not configure a way to reach the API or applications externally. 19.7.11.1. Enabling access with floating IP addresses Create floating IP (FIP) addresses for external access to the OpenShift Container Platform API and cluster applications. Procedure Using the Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) CLI, create the API FIP: USD openstack floating ip create --description "API <cluster_name>.<base_domain>" <external_network> Using the Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) CLI, create the apps, or Ingress, FIP: USD openstack floating ip create --description "Ingress <cluster_name>.<base_domain>" <external_network> Add records that follow these patterns to your DNS server for the API and Ingress FIPs: api.<cluster_name>.<base_domain>. IN A <API_FIP> *.apps.<cluster_name>.<base_domain>. IN A <apps_FIP> Note If you do not control the DNS server, you can access the cluster by adding the cluster domain names such as the following to your /etc/hosts file: <api_floating_ip> api.<cluster_name>.<base_domain> <application_floating_ip> grafana-openshift-monitoring.apps.<cluster_name>.<base_domain> <application_floating_ip> prometheus-k8s-openshift-monitoring.apps.<cluster_name>.<base_domain> <application_floating_ip> oauth-openshift.apps.<cluster_name>.<base_domain> <application_floating_ip> console-openshift-console.apps.<cluster_name>.<base_domain> application_floating_ip integrated-oauth-server-openshift-authentication.apps.<cluster_name>.<base_domain> The cluster domain names in the /etc/hosts file grant access to the web console and the monitoring interface of your cluster locally. You can also use the kubectl or oc . You can access the user applications by using the additional entries pointing to the <application_floating_ip>. This action makes the API and applications accessible to only you, which is not suitable for production deployment, but does allow installation for development and testing. Add the FIPs to the install-config.yaml file as the values of the following parameters: platform.openstack.ingressFloatingIP platform.openstack.apiFloatingIP If you use these values, you must also enter an external network as the value of the platform.openstack.externalNetwork parameter in the install-config.yaml file. Tip You can make OpenShift Container Platform resources available outside of the cluster by assigning a floating IP address and updating your firewall configuration. 19.7.11.2. Completing installation without floating IP addresses You can install OpenShift Container Platform on Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) without providing floating IP addresses. In the install-config.yaml file, do not define the following parameters: platform.openstack.ingressFloatingIP platform.openstack.apiFloatingIP If you cannot provide an external network, you can also leave platform.openstack.externalNetwork blank. If you do not provide a value for platform.openstack.externalNetwork , a router is not created for you, and, without additional action, the installer will fail to retrieve an image from Glance. You must configure external connectivity on your own. If you run the installer from a system that cannot reach the cluster API due to a lack of floating IP addresses or name resolution, installation fails. To prevent installation failure in these cases, you can use a proxy network or run the installer from a system that is on the same network as your machines. Note You can enable name resolution by creating DNS records for the API and Ingress ports. For example: api.<cluster_name>.<base_domain>. IN A <api_port_IP> *.apps.<cluster_name>.<base_domain>. IN A <ingress_port_IP> If you do not control the DNS server, you can add the record to your /etc/hosts file. This action makes the API accessible to only you, which is not suitable for production deployment but does allow installation for development and testing. 19.7.12. 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 Obtain the OpenShift Container Platform installation program and the pull secret for your cluster. 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 . Note If the cloud provider account that you configured on your host does not have sufficient permissions to deploy the cluster, the installation process stops, and the missing permissions are displayed. 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. 19.7.13. Verifying cluster status You can verify your OpenShift Container Platform cluster's status during or after installation. Procedure In the cluster environment, export the administrator's kubeconfig file: 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. 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. View the control plane and compute machines created after a deployment: USD oc get nodes View your cluster's version: USD oc get clusterversion View your Operators' status: USD oc get clusteroperator View all running pods in the cluster: USD oc get pods -A 19.7.14. 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 See Accessing the web console for more details about accessing and understanding the OpenShift Container Platform web console. 19.7.15. Disabling the default OperatorHub sources Operator catalogs that source content provided by Red Hat and community projects are configured for OperatorHub by default during an OpenShift Container Platform installation. In a restricted network environment, you must disable the default catalogs as a cluster administrator. Procedure Disable the sources for the default catalogs by adding disableAllDefaultSources: true to the OperatorHub object: USD oc patch OperatorHub cluster --type json \ -p '[{"op": "add", "path": "/spec/disableAllDefaultSources", "value": true}]' Tip Alternatively, you can use the web console to manage catalog sources. From the Administration Cluster Settings Configuration OperatorHub page, click the Sources tab, where you can create, update, delete, disable, and enable individual sources. 19.7.16. Telemetry access for OpenShift Container Platform In OpenShift Container Platform 4.11, 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 See About remote health monitoring for more information about the Telemetry service 19.7.17. steps Customize your cluster . If the mirror registry that you used to install your cluster has a trusted CA, add it to the cluster by configuring additional trust stores . If necessary, you can opt out of remote health reporting . If necessary, see Registering your disconnected cluster Configure image streams for the Cluster Samples Operator and the must-gather tool. Learn how to use Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM) on restricted networks . If you did not configure RHOSP to accept application traffic over floating IP addresses, configure RHOSP access with floating IP addresses . 19.8. OpenStack cloud configuration reference guide A cloud provider configuration controls how OpenShift Container Platform interacts with Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP). Use the following parameters in a cloud-provider configuration manifest file to configure your cluster. 19.8.1. OpenStack cloud provider options The cloud provider configuration, typically stored as a file named cloud.conf , controls how OpenShift Container Platform interacts with Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP). You can create a valid cloud.conf file by specifying the following options in it. 19.8.1.1. Global options The following options are used for RHOSP CCM authentication with the RHOSP Identity service, also known as Keystone. They are similiar to the global options that you can set by using the openstack CLI. Option Description auth-url The RHOSP Identity service URL. For example, http://128.110.154.166/identity . ca-file Optional. The CA certificate bundle file for communication with the RHOSP Identity service. If you use the HTTPS protocol with The Identity service URL, this option is required. domain-id The Identity service user domain ID. Leave this option unset if you are using Identity service application credentials. domain-name The Identity service user domain name. This option is not required if you set domain-id . tenant-id The Identity service project ID. Leave this option unset if you are using Identity service application credentials. In version 3 of the Identity API, which changed the identifier tenant to project , the value of tenant-id is automatically mapped to the project construct in the API. tenant-name The Identity service project name. username The Identity service user name. Leave this option unset if you are using Identity service application credentials. password The Identity service user password. Leave this option unset if you are using Identity service application credentials. region The Identity service region name. trust-id The Identity service trust ID. A trust represents the authorization of a user, or trustor, to delegate roles to another user, or trustee. Optionally, a trust authorizes the trustee to impersonate the trustor. You can find available trusts by querying the /v3/OS-TRUST/trusts endpoint of the Identity service API. 19.8.1.2. Load balancer options The cloud provider supports several load balancer options for deployments that use Octavia. Option Description use-octavia Whether or not to use Octavia for the LoadBalancer type of the service implementation rather than Neutron-LBaaS. The default value is true . floating-network-id Optional. The external network used to create floating IP addresses for load balancer virtual IP addresses (VIPs). If there are multiple external networks in the cloud, this option must be set or the user must specify loadbalancer.openstack.org/floating-network-id in the service annotation. lb-method The load balancing algorithm used to create the load balancer pool. For the Amphora provider the value can be ROUND_ROBIN , LEAST_CONNECTIONS , or SOURCE_IP . The default value is ROUND_ROBIN . For the OVN provider, only the SOURCE_IP_PORT algorithm is supported. For the Amphora provider, if using the LEAST_CONNECTIONS or SOURCE_IP methods, configure the create-monitor option as true in the cloud-provider-config config map on the openshift-config namespace and ETP:Local on the load-balancer type service to allow balancing algorithm enforcement in the client to service endpoint connections. lb-provider Optional. Used to specify the provider of the load balancer, for example, amphora or octavia . Only the Amphora and Octavia providers are supported. lb-version Optional. The load balancer API version. Only "v2" is supported. subnet-id The ID of the Networking service subnet on which load balancer VIPs are created. create-monitor Whether or not to create a health monitor for the service load balancer. A health monitor is required for services that declare externalTrafficPolicy: Local . The default value is false . This option is unsupported if you use RHOSP earlier than version 17 with the ovn provider. monitor-delay The interval in seconds by which probes are sent to members of the load balancer. The default value is 5 . monitor-max-retries The number of successful checks that are required to change the operating status of a load balancer member to ONLINE . The valid range is 1 to 10 , and the default value is 1 . monitor-timeout The time in seconds that a monitor waits to connect to the back end before it times out. The default value is 3 . 19.8.1.3. Metadata options Option Description search-order This configuration key affects the way that the provider retrieves metadata that relates to the instances in which it runs. The default value of configDrive,metadataService results in the provider retrieving instance metadata from the configuration drive first if available, and then the metadata service. Alternative values are: configDrive : Only retrieve instance metadata from the configuration drive. metadataService : Only retrieve instance metadata from the metadata service. metadataService,configDrive : Retrieve instance metadata from the metadata service first if available, and then retrieve instance metadata from the configuration drive. 19.9. Uninstalling a cluster on OpenStack You can remove a cluster that you deployed to Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP). 19.9.1. Removing a cluster that uses installer-provisioned infrastructure You can remove a cluster that uses installer-provisioned infrastructure from your cloud. Note After uninstallation, check your cloud provider for any resources not removed properly, especially with User Provisioned Infrastructure (UPI) clusters. There might be resources that the installer did not create or that the installer is unable to access. Prerequisites You have a copy of the installation program that you used to deploy the cluster. You have the files that the installation program generated when you created your cluster. Procedure On the computer that you used to install the cluster, go to the directory that contains the installation program, and run the following command: USD ./openshift-install destroy cluster \ --dir <installation_directory> --log-level info 1 2 1 For <installation_directory> , specify the path to the directory that you stored the installation files in. 2 To view different details, specify warn , debug , or error instead of info . Note You must specify the directory that contains the cluster definition files for your cluster. The installation program requires the metadata.json file in this directory to delete the cluster. Optional: Delete the <installation_directory> directory and the OpenShift Container Platform installation program. 19.10. Uninstalling a cluster on RHOSP from your own infrastructure You can remove a cluster that you deployed to Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) on user-provisioned infrastructure. 19.10.1. Downloading playbook dependencies The Ansible playbooks that simplify the removal process on user-provisioned infrastructure require several Python modules. On the machine where you will run the process, add the modules' repositories and then download them. Note These instructions assume that you are using Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8. Prerequisites Python 3 is installed on your machine. Procedure On a command line, add the repositories: Register with Red Hat Subscription Manager: USD sudo subscription-manager register # If not done already Pull the latest subscription data: USD sudo subscription-manager attach --pool=USDYOUR_POOLID # If not done already Disable the current repositories: USD sudo subscription-manager repos --disable=* # If not done already Add the required repositories: USD sudo subscription-manager repos \ --enable=rhel-8-for-x86_64-baseos-rpms \ --enable=openstack-16-tools-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms \ --enable=ansible-2.9-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms \ --enable=rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms Install the modules: USD sudo yum install python3-openstackclient ansible python3-openstacksdk Ensure that the python command points to python3 : USD sudo alternatives --set python /usr/bin/python3 19.10.2. Removing a cluster from RHOSP that uses your own infrastructure You can remove an OpenShift Container Platform cluster on Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) that uses your own infrastructure. To complete the removal process quickly, run several Ansible playbooks. Prerequisites Python 3 is installed on your machine. You downloaded the modules in "Downloading playbook dependencies." You have the playbooks that you used to install the cluster. You modified the playbooks that are prefixed with down- to reflect any changes that you made to their corresponding installation playbooks. For example, changes to the bootstrap.yaml file are reflected in the down-bootstrap.yaml file. All of the playbooks are in a common directory. Procedure On a command line, run the playbooks that you downloaded: USD ansible-playbook -i inventory.yaml \ down-bootstrap.yaml \ down-control-plane.yaml \ down-compute-nodes.yaml \ down-load-balancers.yaml \ down-network.yaml \ down-security-groups.yaml Remove any DNS record changes you made for the OpenShift Container Platform installation. OpenShift Container Platform is removed from your infrastructure.
