Chapter 5. Control plane backup and restore 5.1. Backing up etcd etcd is the key-value store for OpenShift Container Platform, which persists the state of all resource objects. Back up your cluster's etcd data regularly and store in a secure location ideally outside the OpenShift Container Platform environment. Do not take an etcd backup before the first certificate rotation completes, which occurs 24 hours after installation, otherwise the backup will contain expired certificates. It is also recommended to take etcd backups during non-peak usage hours because the etcd snapshot has a high I/O cost. Be sure to take an etcd backup after you upgrade your cluster. This is important because when you restore your cluster, you must use an etcd backup that was taken from the same z-stream release. For example, an OpenShift Container Platform 4.y.z cluster must use an etcd backup that was taken from 4.y.z. Important Back up your cluster's etcd data by performing a single invocation of the backup script on a control plane host. Do not take a backup for each control plane host. After you have an etcd backup, you can restore to a cluster state . 5.1.1. Backing up etcd data Follow these steps to back up etcd data by creating an etcd snapshot and backing up the resources for the static pods. This backup can be saved and used at a later time if you need to restore etcd. Important Only save a backup from a single control plane host. Do not take a backup from each control plane host in the cluster. Prerequisites You have access to the cluster as a user with the cluster-admin role. You have checked whether the cluster-wide proxy is enabled. Tip You can check whether the proxy is enabled by reviewing the output of oc get proxy cluster -o yaml . The proxy is enabled if the httpProxy , httpsProxy , and noProxy fields have values set. Procedure Start a debug session for a control plane node: USD oc debug node/<node_name> Change your root directory to /host : sh-4.2# chroot /host If the cluster-wide proxy is enabled, be sure that you have exported the NO_PROXY , HTTP_PROXY , and HTTPS_PROXY environment variables. Run the cluster-backup.sh script and pass in the location to save the backup to. Tip The cluster-backup.sh script is maintained as a component of the etcd Cluster Operator and is a wrapper around the etcdctl snapshot save command. sh-4.4# /usr/local/bin/cluster-backup.sh /home/core/assets/backup Example script output found latest kube-apiserver: /etc/kubernetes/static-pod-resources/kube-apiserver-pod-6 found latest kube-controller-manager: /etc/kubernetes/static-pod-resources/kube-controller-manager-pod-7 found latest kube-scheduler: /etc/kubernetes/static-pod-resources/kube-scheduler-pod-6 found latest etcd: /etc/kubernetes/static-pod-resources/etcd-pod-3 ede95fe6b88b87ba86a03c15e669fb4aa5bf0991c180d3c6895ce72eaade54a1 etcdctl version: 3.4.14 API version: 3.4 {"level":"info","ts":1624647639.0188997,"caller":"snapshot/v3_snapshot.go:119","msg":"created temporary db file","path":"/home/core/assets/backup/snapshot_2021-06-25_190035.db.part"} {"level":"info","ts":"2021-06-25T19:00:39.030Z","caller":"clientv3/maintenance.go:200","msg":"opened snapshot stream; downloading"} {"level":"info","ts":1624647639.0301006,"caller":"snapshot/v3_snapshot.go:127","msg":"fetching snapshot","endpoint":"https://10.0.0.5:2379"} {"level":"info","ts":"2021-06-25T19:00:40.215Z","caller":"clientv3/maintenance.go:208","msg":"completed snapshot read; closing"} {"level":"info","ts":1624647640.6032252,"caller":"snapshot/v3_snapshot.go:142","msg":"fetched snapshot","endpoint":"https://10.0.0.5:2379","size":"114 MB","took":1.584090459} {"level":"info","ts":1624647640.6047094,"caller":"snapshot/v3_snapshot.go:152","msg":"saved","path":"/home/core/assets/backup/snapshot_2021-06-25_190035.db"} Snapshot saved at /home/core/assets/backup/snapshot_2021-06-25_190035.db {"hash":3866667823,"revision":31407,"totalKey":12828,"totalSize":114446336} snapshot db and kube resources are successfully saved to /home/core/assets/backup In this example, two files are created in the /home/core/assets/backup/ directory on the control plane host: snapshot_<datetimestamp>.db : This file is the etcd snapshot. The cluster-backup.sh script confirms its validity. static_kuberesources_<datetimestamp>.tar.gz : This file contains the resources for the static pods. If etcd encryption is enabled, it also contains the encryption keys for the etcd snapshot. Note If etcd encryption is enabled, it is recommended to store this second file separately from the etcd snapshot for security reasons. However, this file is required to restore from the etcd snapshot. Keep in mind that etcd encryption only encrypts values, not keys. This means that resource types, namespaces, and object names are unencrypted. 5.2. Replacing an unhealthy etcd member This document describes the process to replace a single unhealthy etcd member. This process depends on whether the etcd member is unhealthy because the machine is not running or the node is not ready, or whether it is unhealthy because the etcd pod is crashlooping. Note If you have lost the majority of your control plane hosts, follow the disaster recovery procedure to restore to a cluster state instead of this procedure. If the control plane certificates are not valid on the member being replaced, then you must follow the procedure to recover from expired control plane certificates instead of this procedure. If a control plane node is lost and a new one is created, the etcd cluster Operator handles generating the new TLS certificates and adding the node as an etcd member. 5.2.1. Prerequisites Take an etcd backup prior to replacing an unhealthy etcd member. 5.2.2. Identifying an unhealthy etcd member You can identify if your cluster has an unhealthy etcd member. Prerequisites Access to the cluster as a user with the cluster-admin role. Procedure Check the status of the EtcdMembersAvailable status condition using the following command: USD oc get etcd -o=jsonpath='{range .items[0].status.conditions[?(@.type=="EtcdMembersAvailable")]}{.message}{"\n"}' Review the output: 2 of 3 members are available, ip-10-0-131-183.ec2.internal is unhealthy This example output shows that the ip-10-0-131-183.ec2.internal etcd member is unhealthy. 5.2.3. Determining the state of the unhealthy etcd member The steps to replace an unhealthy etcd member depend on which of the following states your etcd member is in: The machine is not running or the node is not ready The etcd pod is crashlooping This procedure determines which state your etcd member is in. This enables you to know which procedure to follow to replace the unhealthy etcd member. Note If you are aware that the machine is not running or the node is not ready, but you expect it to return to a healthy state soon, then you do not need to perform a procedure to replace the etcd member. The etcd cluster Operator will automatically sync when the machine or node returns to a healthy state. Prerequisites You have access to the cluster as a user with the cluster-admin role. You have identified an unhealthy etcd member. Procedure Determine if the machine is not running : USD oc get machines -A -ojsonpath='{range .items[*]}{@.status.nodeRef.name}{"\t"}{@.status.providerStatus.instanceState}{"\n"}' | grep -v running Example output ip-10-0-131-183.ec2.internal stopped 1 1 This output lists the node and the status of the node's machine. If the status is anything other than running , then the machine is not running . If the machine is not running , then follow the Replacing an unhealthy etcd member whose machine is not running or whose node is not ready procedure. Determine if the node is not ready . If either of the following scenarios are true, then the node is not ready . If the machine is running, then check whether the node is unreachable: USD oc get nodes -o jsonpath='{range .items[*]}{"\n"}{.metadata.name}{"\t"}{range .spec.taints[*]}{.key}{" "}' | grep unreachable Example output ip-10-0-131-183.ec2.internal node-role.kubernetes.io/master node.kubernetes.io/unreachable node.kubernetes.io/unreachable 1 1 If the node is listed with an unreachable taint, then the node is not ready . If the node is still reachable, then check whether the node is listed as NotReady : USD oc get nodes -l node-role.kubernetes.io/master | grep "NotReady" Example output ip-10-0-131-183.ec2.internal NotReady master 122m v1.23.0 1 1 If the node is listed as NotReady , then the node is not ready . If the node is not ready , then follow the Replacing an unhealthy etcd member whose machine is not running or whose node is not ready procedure. Determine if the etcd pod is crashlooping . If the machine is running and the node is ready, then check whether the etcd pod is crashlooping. Verify that all control plane nodes are listed as Ready : USD oc get nodes -l node-role.kubernetes.io/master Example output NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION ip-10-0-131-183.ec2.internal Ready master 6h13m v1.23.0 ip-10-0-164-97.ec2.internal Ready master 6h13m v1.23.0 ip-10-0-154-204.ec2.internal Ready master 6h13m v1.23.0 Check whether the status of an etcd pod is either Error or CrashloopBackoff : USD oc -n openshift-etcd get pods -l k8s-app=etcd Example output etcd-ip-10-0-131-183.ec2.internal 2/3 Error 7 6h9m 1 etcd-ip-10-0-164-97.ec2.internal 3/3 Running 0 6h6m etcd-ip-10-0-154-204.ec2.internal 3/3 Running 0 6h6m 1 Since this status of this pod is Error , then the etcd pod is crashlooping . If the etcd pod is crashlooping , then follow the Replacing an unhealthy etcd member whose etcd pod is crashlooping procedure. 5.2.4. Replacing the unhealthy etcd member Depending on the state of your unhealthy etcd member, use one of the following procedures: Replacing an unhealthy etcd member whose machine is not running or whose node is not ready Replacing an unhealthy etcd member whose etcd pod is crashlooping Replacing an unhealthy stopped baremetal etcd member 5.2.4.1. Replacing an unhealthy etcd member whose machine is not running or whose node is not ready This procedure details the steps to replace an etcd member that is unhealthy either because the machine is not running or because the node is not ready. Prerequisites You have identified the unhealthy etcd member. You have verified that either the machine is not running or the node is not ready. You have access to the cluster as a user with the cluster-admin role. You have taken an etcd backup. Important It is important to take an etcd backup before performing this procedure so that your cluster can be restored if you encounter any issues. Procedure Remove the unhealthy member. Choose a pod that is not on the affected node: In a terminal that has access to the cluster as a cluster-admin user, run the following command: USD oc -n openshift-etcd get pods -l k8s-app=etcd Example output etcd-ip-10-0-131-183.ec2.internal 3/3 Running 0 123m etcd-ip-10-0-164-97.ec2.internal 3/3 Running 0 123m etcd-ip-10-0-154-204.ec2.internal 3/3 Running 0 124m Connect to the running etcd container, passing in the name of a pod that is not on the affected node: In a terminal that has access to the cluster as a cluster-admin user, run the following command: USD oc rsh -n openshift-etcd etcd-ip-10-0-154-204.ec2.internal View the member list: sh-4.2# etcdctl member list -w table Example output +------------------+---------+------------------------------+---------------------------+---------------------------+ | ID | STATUS | NAME | PEER ADDRS | CLIENT ADDRS | +------------------+---------+------------------------------+---------------------------+---------------------------+ | 6fc1e7c9db35841d | started | ip-10-0-131-183.ec2.internal | https://10.0.131.183:2380 | https://10.0.131.183:2379 | | 757b6793e2408b6c | started | ip-10-0-164-97.ec2.internal | https://10.0.164.97:2380 | https://10.0.164.97:2379 | | ca8c2990a0aa29d1 | started | ip-10-0-154-204.ec2.internal | https://10.0.154.204:2380 | https://10.0.154.204:2379 | +------------------+---------+------------------------------+---------------------------+---------------------------+ Take note of the ID and the name of the unhealthy etcd member, because these values are needed later in the procedure. The USD etcdctl endpoint health command will list the removed member until the procedure of replacement is finished and a new member is added. Remove the unhealthy etcd member by providing the ID to the etcdctl member remove command: sh-4.2# etcdctl member remove 6fc1e7c9db35841d Example output Member 6fc1e7c9db35841d removed from cluster ead669ce1fbfb346 View the member list again and verify that the member was removed: sh-4.2# etcdctl member list -w table Example output +------------------+---------+------------------------------+---------------------------+---------------------------+ | ID | STATUS | NAME | PEER ADDRS | CLIENT ADDRS | +------------------+---------+------------------------------+---------------------------+---------------------------+ | 757b6793e2408b6c | started | ip-10-0-164-97.ec2.internal | https://10.0.164.97:2380 | https://10.0.164.97:2379 | | ca8c2990a0aa29d1 | started | ip-10-0-154-204.ec2.internal | https://10.0.154.204:2380 | https://10.0.154.204:2379 | +------------------+---------+------------------------------+---------------------------+---------------------------+ You can now exit the node shell. Important After you remove the member, the cluster might be unreachable for a short time while the remaining etcd instances reboot. Turn off the quorum guard by entering the following command: USD oc patch etcd/cluster --type=merge -p '{"spec": {"unsupportedConfigOverrides": {"useUnsupportedUnsafeNonHANonProductionUnstableEtcd": true}}}' This command ensures that you can successfully re-create secrets and roll out the static pods. Remove the old secrets for the unhealthy etcd member that was removed. List the secrets for the unhealthy etcd member that was removed. USD oc get secrets -n openshift-etcd | grep ip-10-0-131-183.ec2.internal 1 1 Pass in the name of the unhealthy etcd member that you took note of earlier in this procedure. There is a peer, serving, and metrics secret as shown in the following output: Example output etcd-peer-ip-10-0-131-183.ec2.internal kubernetes.io/tls 2 47m etcd-serving-ip-10-0-131-183.ec2.internal kubernetes.io/tls 2 47m etcd-serving-metrics-ip-10-0-131-183.ec2.internal kubernetes.io/tls 2 47m Delete the secrets for the unhealthy etcd member that was removed. Delete the peer secret: USD oc delete secret -n openshift-etcd etcd-peer-ip-10-0-131-183.ec2.internal Delete the serving secret: USD oc delete secret -n openshift-etcd etcd-serving-ip-10-0-131-183.ec2.internal Delete the metrics secret: USD oc delete secret -n openshift-etcd etcd-serving-metrics-ip-10-0-131-183.ec2.internal Delete and recreate the control plane machine. After this machine is recreated, a new revision is forced and etcd scales up automatically. If you are running installer-provisioned infrastructure, or you used the Machine API to create your machines, follow these steps. Otherwise, you must create the new master using the same method that was used to originally create it. Obtain the machine for the unhealthy member. In a terminal that has access to the cluster as a cluster-admin user, run the following command: USD oc get machines -n openshift-machine-api -o wide Example output NAME PHASE TYPE REGION ZONE AGE NODE PROVIDERID STATE clustername-8qw5l-master-0 Running m4.xlarge us-east-1 us-east-1a 3h37m ip-10-0-131-183.ec2.internal aws:///us-east-1a/i-0ec2782f8287dfb7e stopped 1 clustername-8qw5l-master-1 Running m4.xlarge us-east-1 us-east-1b 3h37m ip-10-0-154-204.ec2.internal aws:///us-east-1b/i-096c349b700a19631 running clustername-8qw5l-master-2 Running m4.xlarge us-east-1 us-east-1c 3h37m ip-10-0-164-97.ec2.internal aws:///us-east-1c/i-02626f1dba9ed5bba running clustername-8qw5l-worker-us-east-1a-wbtgd Running m4.large us-east-1 us-east-1a 3h28m ip-10-0-129-226.ec2.internal aws:///us-east-1a/i-010ef6279b4662ced running clustername-8qw5l-worker-us-east-1b-lrdxb Running m4.large us-east-1 us-east-1b 3h28m ip-10-0-144-248.ec2.internal aws:///us-east-1b/i-0cb45ac45a166173b running clustername-8qw5l-worker-us-east-1c-pkg26 Running m4.large us-east-1 us-east-1c 3h28m ip-10-0-170-181.ec2.internal aws:///us-east-1c/i-06861c00007751b0a running 1 This is the control plane machine for the unhealthy node, ip-10-0-131-183.ec2.internal .

Warning Be sure to remove the correct etcd member; removing a good etcd member might lead to quorum loss. 5.2.4.2. Replacing an unhealthy etcd member whose etcd pod is crashlooping This procedure details the steps to replace an etcd member that is unhealthy because the etcd pod is crashlooping. Prerequisites You have identified the unhealthy etcd member. You have verified that the etcd pod is crashlooping. You have access to the cluster as a user with the cluster-admin role. You have taken an etcd backup. Important It is important to take an etcd backup before performing this procedure so that your cluster can be restored if you encounter any issues. Procedure Stop the crashlooping etcd pod. Debug the node that is crashlooping. In a terminal that has access to the cluster as a cluster-admin user, run the following command: USD oc debug node/ip-10-0-131-183.ec2.internal 1 1 Replace this with the name of the unhealthy node. Change your root directory to /host : sh-4.2# chroot /host Move the existing etcd pod file out of the kubelet manifest directory: sh-4.2# mkdir /var/lib/etcd-backup sh-4.2# mv /etc/kubernetes/manifests/etcd-pod.yaml /var/lib/etcd-backup/ Move the etcd data directory to a different location: sh-4.2# mv /var/lib/etcd/ /tmp You can now exit the node shell.

Replacing an unhealthy bare metal etcd member whose machine is not running or whose node is not ready This procedure details the steps to replace a bare metal etcd member that is unhealthy either because the machine is not running or because the node is not ready. If you are running installer-provisioned infrastructure or you used the Machine API to create your machines, follow these steps. Otherwise you must create the new control plane node using the same method that was used to originally create it. Prerequisites You have identified the unhealthy bare metal etcd member. You have verified that either the machine is not running or the node is not ready. You have access to the cluster as a user with the cluster-admin role. You have taken an etcd backup. Important You must take an etcd backup before performing this procedure so that your cluster can be restored if you encounter any issues. Procedure Verify and remove the unhealthy member.

About disaster recovery The disaster recovery documentation provides information for administrators on how to recover from several disaster situations that might occur with their OpenShift Container Platform cluster. As an administrator, you might need to follow one or more of the following procedures to return your cluster to a working state. Important Disaster recovery requires you to have at least one healthy control plane host. Restoring to a cluster state This solution handles situations where you want to restore your cluster to a state, for example, if an administrator deletes something critical. This also includes situations where you have lost the majority of your control plane hosts, leading to etcd quorum loss and the cluster going offline. As long as you have taken an etcd backup, you can follow this procedure to restore your cluster to a state. If applicable, you might also need to recover from expired control plane certificates . Warning Restoring to a cluster state is a destructive and destablizing action to take on a running cluster. This procedure should only be used as a last resort. Prior to performing a restore, see About restoring cluster state for more information on the impact to the cluster. Note If you have a majority of your masters still available and have an etcd quorum, then follow the procedure to replace a single unhealthy etcd member . Recovering from expired control plane certificates This solution handles situations where your control plane certificates have expired. For example, if you shut down your cluster before the first certificate rotation, which occurs 24 hours after installation, your certificates will not be rotated and will expire. You can follow this procedure to recover from expired control plane certificates. 5.3.2. Restoring to a cluster state To restore the cluster to a state, you must have previously backed up etcd data by creating a snapshot. You will use this snapshot to restore the cluster state. 5.3.2.1. About restoring cluster state You can use an etcd backup to restore your cluster to a state. This can be used to recover from the following situations: The cluster has lost the majority of control plane hosts (quorum loss). An administrator has deleted something critical and must restore to recover the cluster. Warning Restoring to a cluster state is a destructive and destablizing action to take on a running cluster. This should only be used as a last resort. If you are able to retrieve data using the Kubernetes API server, then etcd is available and you should not restore using an etcd backup. Restoring etcd effectively takes a cluster back in time and all clients will experience a conflicting, parallel history. This can impact the behavior of watching components like kubelets, Kubernetes controller managers, SDN controllers, and persistent volume controllers. It can cause Operator churn when the content in etcd does not match the actual content on disk, causing Operators for the Kubernetes API server, Kubernetes controller manager, Kubernetes scheduler, and etcd to get stuck when files on disk conflict with content in etcd. This can require manual actions to resolve the issues. In extreme cases, the cluster can lose track of persistent volumes, delete critical workloads that no longer exist, reimage machines, and rewrite CA bundles with expired certificates. 5.3.2.2. Restoring to a cluster state You can use a saved etcd backup to restore a cluster state or restore a cluster that has lost the majority of control plane hosts. Important When you restore your cluster, you must use an etcd backup that was taken from the same z-stream release. For example, an OpenShift Container Platform 4.7.2 cluster must use an etcd backup that was taken from 4.7.2. Prerequisites Access to the cluster as a user with the cluster-admin role through a certificate-based kubeconfig file, like the one that was used during installation. A healthy control plane host to use as the recovery host. SSH access to control plane hosts. A backup directory containing both the etcd snapshot and the resources for the static pods, which were from the same backup. The file names in the directory must be in the following formats: snapshot_<datetimestamp>.db and static_kuberesources_<datetimestamp>.tar.gz . Important For non-recovery control plane nodes, it is not required to establish SSH connectivity or to stop the static pods. You can delete and recreate other non-recovery, control plane machines, one by one. Procedure Select a control plane host to use as the recovery host. This is the host that you will run the restore operation on. Establish SSH connectivity to each of the control plane nodes, including the recovery host. The Kubernetes API server becomes inaccessible after the restore process starts, so you cannot access the control plane nodes. For this reason, it is recommended to establish SSH connectivity to each control plane host in a separate terminal. Important If you do not complete this step, you will not be able to access the control plane hosts to complete the restore procedure, and you will be unable to recover your cluster from this state. Copy the etcd backup directory to the recovery control plane host. This procedure assumes that you copied the backup directory containing the etcd snapshot and the resources for the static pods to the /home/core/ directory of your recovery control plane host. Stop the static pods on any other control plane nodes. Note You do not need to stop the static pods on the recovery host. Access a control plane host that is not the recovery host. Move the existing etcd pod file out of the kubelet manifest directory: USD sudo mv /etc/kubernetes/manifests/etcd-pod.yaml /tmp Verify that the etcd pods are stopped. USD sudo crictl ps | grep etcd | grep -v operator The output of this command should be empty. If it is not empty, wait a few minutes and check again. Move the existing Kubernetes API server pod file out of the kubelet manifest directory: USD sudo mv /etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-apiserver-pod.yaml /tmp Verify that the Kubernetes API server pods are stopped. USD sudo crictl ps | grep kube-apiserver | grep -v operator The output of this command should be empty. If it is not empty, wait a few minutes and check again. Move the etcd data directory to a different location: USD sudo mv /var/lib/etcd/ /tmp Repeat this step on each of the other control plane hosts that is not the recovery host. Access the recovery control plane host. If the cluster-wide proxy is enabled, be sure that you have exported the NO_PROXY , HTTP_PROXY , and HTTPS_PROXY environment variables. Tip You can check whether the proxy is enabled by reviewing the output of oc get proxy cluster -o yaml . The proxy is enabled if the httpProxy , httpsProxy , and noProxy fields have values set. Run the restore script on the recovery control plane host and pass in the path to the etcd backup directory: USD sudo -E /usr/local/bin/cluster-restore.sh /home/core/backup Example script output ...stopping kube-scheduler-pod.yaml ...stopping kube-controller-manager-pod.yaml ...stopping etcd-pod.yaml ...stopping kube-apiserver-pod.yaml Waiting for container etcd to stop .complete Waiting for container etcdctl to stop .............................complete Waiting for container etcd-metrics to stop complete Waiting for container kube-controller-manager to stop complete Waiting for container kube-apiserver to stop ..........................................................................................complete Waiting for container kube-scheduler to stop complete Moving etcd data-dir /var/lib/etcd/member to /var/lib/etcd-backup starting restore-etcd static pod starting kube-apiserver-pod.yaml static-pod-resources/kube-apiserver-pod-7/kube-apiserver-pod.yaml starting kube-controller-manager-pod.yaml static-pod-resources/kube-controller-manager-pod-7/kube-controller-manager-pod.yaml starting kube-scheduler-pod.yaml static-pod-resources/kube-scheduler-pod-8/kube-scheduler-pod.yaml Note The restore process can cause nodes to enter the NotReady state if the node certificates were updated after the last etcd backup. Check the nodes to ensure they are in the Ready state. Run the following command: USD oc get nodes -w Sample output NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION host-172-25-75-28 Ready master 3d20h v1.23.3+e419edf host-172-25-75-38 Ready infra,worker 3d20h v1.23.3+e419edf host-172-25-75-40 Ready master 3d20h v1.23.3+e419edf host-172-25-75-65 Ready master 3d20h v1.23.3+e419edf host-172-25-75-74 Ready infra,worker 3d20h v1.23.3+e419edf host-172-25-75-79 Ready worker 3d20h v1.23.3+e419edf host-172-25-75-86 Ready worker 3d20h v1.23.3+e419edf host-172-25-75-98 Ready infra,worker 3d20h v1.23.3+e419edf It can take several minutes for all nodes to report their state. If any nodes are in the NotReady state, log in to the nodes and remove all of the PEM files from the /var/lib/kubelet/pki directory on each node. You can SSH into the nodes or use the terminal window in the web console. USD ssh -i <ssh-key-path> core@<master-hostname> Sample pki directory Restart the kubelet service on all control plane hosts. From the recovery host, run the following command: USD sudo systemctl restart kubelet.service Repeat this step on all other control plane hosts. Approve the pending CSRs: Get the list of current CSRs: USD oc get csr Example output 1 2 A pending kubelet service CSR (for user-provisioned installations). 3 4 A pending node-bootstrapper CSR. Review the details of a CSR to verify that it is valid: USD oc describe csr <csr_name> 1 1 <csr_name> is the name of a CSR from the list of current CSRs. Approve each valid node-bootstrapper CSR: USD oc adm certificate approve <csr_name> For user-provisioned installations, approve each valid kubelet service CSR: USD oc adm certificate approve <csr_name> Verify that the single member control plane has started successfully. From the recovery host, verify that the etcd container is running. USD sudo crictl ps | grep etcd | egrep -v "operator|etcd-guard" Example output 3ad41b7908e32 36f86e2eeaaffe662df0d21041eb22b8198e0e58abeeae8c743c3e6e977e8009 About a minute ago Running etcd 0 7c05f8af362f0 From the recovery host, verify that the etcd pod is running.

Note Perform the following step only if you are using OVNKubernetes Container Network Interface (CNI) plugin. Restart the Open Virtual Network (OVN) Kubernetes pods on all the hosts. Remove the northbound database (nbdb) and southbound database (sbdb). Access the recovery host and the remaining control plane nodes by using Secure Shell (SSH) and run the following command: USD sudo rm -f /var/lib/ovn/etc/*.db Delete all OVN-Kubernetes control plane pods by running the following command: USD oc delete pods -l app=ovnkube-master -n openshift-ovn-kubernetes Ensure that any OVN-Kubernetes control plane pods are deployed again and are in a Running state by running the following command: USD oc get pods -l app=ovnkube-master -n openshift-ovn-kubernetes Example output NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE ovnkube-master-nb24h 4/4 Running 0 48s Delete all ovnkube-node pods by running the following command: USD oc get pods -n openshift-ovn-kubernetes -o name | grep ovnkube-node | while read p ; do oc delete USDp -n openshift-ovn-kubernetes ; done Ensure that all the ovnkube-node pods are deployed again and are in a Running state by running the following command: USD oc get pods -n openshift-ovn-kubernetes | grep ovnkube-node Delete and re-create other non-recovery, control plane machines, one by one. After the machines are re-created, a new revision is forced and etcd automatically scales up. If you use a user-provisioned bare metal installation, you can re-create a control plane machine by using the same method that you used to originally create it. For more information, see "Installing a user-provisioned cluster on bare metal". Warning Do not delete and re-create the machine for the recovery host. If you are running installer-provisioned infrastructure, or you used the Machine API to create your machines, follow these steps: Warning Do not delete and re-create the machine for the recovery host. For bare metal installations on installer-provisioned infrastructure, control plane machines are not re-created. For more information, see "Replacing a bare-metal control plane node". Obtain the machine for one of the lost control plane hosts.

Repeat these steps for each lost control plane host that is not the recovery host. Turn off the quorum guard by entering the following command: USD oc patch etcd/cluster --type=merge -p '{"spec": {"unsupportedConfigOverrides": {"useUnsupportedUnsafeNonHANonProductionUnstableEtcd": true}}}' This command ensures that you can successfully re-create secrets and roll out the static pods. In a separate terminal window within the recovery host, export the recovery kubeconfig file by running the following command: USD export KUBECONFIG=/etc/kubernetes/static-pod-resources/kube-apiserver-certs/secrets/node-kubeconfigs/localhost-recovery.kubeconfig Force etcd redeployment. In the same terminal window where you exported the recovery kubeconfig file, run the following command: USD oc patch etcd cluster -p='{"spec": {"forceRedeploymentReason": "recovery-'"USD( date --rfc-3339=ns )"'"}}' --type=merge 1 1 The forceRedeploymentReason value must be unique, which is why a timestamp is appended. When the etcd cluster Operator performs a redeployment, the existing nodes are started with new pods similar to the initial bootstrap scale up. Verify all nodes are updated to the latest revision. In a terminal that has access to the cluster as a cluster-admin user, run the following command: USD oc get etcd -o=jsonpath='{range .items[0].status.conditions[?(@.type=="NodeInstallerProgressing")]}{.reason}{"\n"}{.message}{"\n"}' Review the NodeInstallerProgressing status condition for etcd to verify that all nodes are at the latest revision. The output shows AllNodesAtLatestRevision upon successful update: AllNodesAtLatestRevision 3 nodes are at revision 7 1 1 In this example, the latest revision number is 7 . If the output includes multiple revision numbers, such as 2 nodes are at revision 6; 1 nodes are at revision 7 , this means that the update is still in progress. Wait a few minutes and try again. After etcd is redeployed, force new rollouts for the control plane. The Kubernetes API server will reinstall itself on the other nodes because the kubelet is connected to API servers using an internal load balancer. In a terminal that has access to the cluster as a cluster-admin user, run the following commands. Force a new rollout for the Kubernetes API server: USD oc patch kubeapiserver cluster -p='{"spec": {"forceRedeploymentReason": "recovery-'"USD( date --rfc-3339=ns )"'"}}' --type=merge Verify all nodes are updated to the latest revision. USD oc get kubeapiserver -o=jsonpath='{range .items[0].status.conditions[?(@.type=="NodeInstallerProgressing")]}{.reason}{"\n"}{.message}{"\n"}' Review the NodeInstallerProgressing status condition to verify that all nodes are at the latest revision.

Verify that all control plane hosts have started and joined the cluster. In a terminal that has access to the cluster as a cluster-admin user, run the following command: USD oc -n openshift-etcd get pods -l k8s-app=etcd Example output etcd-ip-10-0-143-125.ec2.internal 2/2 Running 0 9h etcd-ip-10-0-154-194.ec2.internal 2/2 Running 0 9h etcd-ip-10-0-173-171.ec2.internal 2/2 Running 0 9h To ensure that all workloads return to normal operation following a recovery procedure, restart each pod that stores Kubernetes API information. This includes OpenShift Container Platform components such as routers, Operators, and third-party components. Note On completion of the procedural steps, you might need to wait a few minutes for all services to return to their restored state. For example, authentication by using oc login might not immediately work until the OAuth server pods are restarted. Consider using the system:admin kubeconfig file for immediate authentication. This method basis its authentication on SSL/TLS client certificates as against OAuth tokens. You can authenticate with this file by issuing the following command: USD export KUBECONFIG=<installation_directory>/auth/kubeconfig Issue the following command to display your authenticated user name: USD oc whoami 5.3.2.3. Additional resources Installing a user-provisioned cluster on bare metal Creating a bastion host to access OpenShift Container Platform instances and the control plane nodes with SSH Replacing a bare-metal control plane node 5.3.2.4. Issues and workarounds for restoring a persistent storage state If your OpenShift Container Platform cluster uses persistent storage of any form, a state of the cluster is typically stored outside etcd. It might be an Elasticsearch cluster running in a pod or a database running in a StatefulSet object. When you restore from an etcd backup, the status of the workloads in OpenShift Container Platform is also restored. However, if the etcd snapshot is old, the status might be invalid or outdated. Important The contents of persistent volumes (PVs) are never part of the etcd snapshot. When you restore an OpenShift Container Platform cluster from an etcd snapshot, non-critical workloads might gain access to critical data, or vice-versa. The following are some example scenarios that produce an out-of-date status: MySQL database is running in a pod backed up by a PV object. Restoring OpenShift Container Platform from an etcd snapshot does not bring back the volume on the storage provider, and does not produce a running MySQL pod, despite the pod repeatedly attempting to start. You must manually restore this pod by restoring the volume on the storage provider, and then editing the PV to point to the new volume. Pod P1 is using volume A, which is attached to node X. If the etcd snapshot is taken while another pod uses the same volume on node Y, then when the etcd restore is performed, pod P1 might not be able to start correctly due to the volume still being attached to node Y. OpenShift Container Platform is not aware of the attachment, and does not automatically detach it. When this occurs, the volume must be manually detached from node Y so that the volume can attach on node X, and then pod P1 can start. Cloud provider or storage provider credentials were updated after the etcd snapshot was taken. This causes any CSI drivers or Operators that depend on the those credentials to not work. You might have to manually update the credentials required by those drivers or Operators. A device is removed or renamed from OpenShift Container Platform nodes after the etcd snapshot is taken. The Local Storage Operator creates symlinks for each PV that it manages from /dev/disk/by-id or /dev directories. This situation might cause the local PVs to refer to devices that no longer exist. To fix this problem, an administrator must: Manually remove the PVs with invalid devices. Remove symlinks from respective nodes. Delete LocalVolume or LocalVolumeSet objects (see Storage Configuring persistent storage Persistent storage using local volumes Deleting the Local Storage Operator Resources ). 5.3.3. Recovering from expired control plane certificates 5.3.3.1. Recovering from expired control plane certificates The cluster can automatically recover from expired control plane certificates. However, you must manually approve the pending node-bootstrapper certificate signing requests (CSRs) to recover kubelet certificates. For user-provisioned installations, you might also need to approve pending kubelet serving CSRs. Use the following steps to approve the pending CSRs: Procedure Get the list of current CSRs: USD oc get csr Example output 1 2 A pending kubelet service CSR (for user-provisioned installations). 3 4 A pending node-bootstrapper CSR. Review the details of a CSR to verify that it is valid: USD oc describe csr <csr_name> 1 1 <csr_name> is the name of a CSR from the list of current CSRs. Approve each valid node-bootstrapper CSR: USD oc adm certificate approve <csr_name> For user-provisioned installations, approve each valid kubelet serving CSR: USD oc adm certificate approve <csr_name>
