Chapter 2. OpenShift Container Storage deployed using local storage devices

Procedure

1. Identify the NODE and get labels on the node to be replaced.

   $ oc get nodes --show-labels | grep <node_name>

2. Identify the mon (if any) and OSDs that are running in the node to be replaced.

   $ oc get pods -n openshift-storage -o wide | grep -i <node_name>

3. Scale down the deployments of the pods identified in the previous step.

   For example:

   $ oc scale deployment rook-ceph-mon-c --replicas=0 -n openshift-storage
   $ oc scale deployment rook-ceph-osd-0 --replicas=0 -n openshift-storage
   $ oc scale deployment --selector=app=rook-ceph-crashcollector,node_name=<node_name>  --replicas=0 -n openshift-storage

4. Mark the node as unschedulable.

   $ oc adm cordon <node_name>

5. Drain the node.

   $ oc adm drain <node_name> --force --delete-local-data --ignore-daemonsets

6. Delete the node.

   $ oc delete node <node_name>

7. Get a new bare metal machine with required infrastructure. See Installing a cluster on bare metal.

   Important

   For information about how to replace a master node when you have installed OpenShift Container Storage on a three-node OpenShift compact bare-metal cluster, see the Backup and Restore guide in the OpenShift Container Platform documentation.

8. Create a new OpenShift Container Platform node using the new bare metal machine.

9. Check for certificate signing requests (CSRs) related to OpenShift Container Platform that are in Pending state:

   $ oc get csr

10. Approve all required OpenShift Container Platform CSRs for the new node:

    $ oc adm certificate approve <Certificate_Name>

11. Click Compute → Nodes in OpenShift Web Console, confirm if the new node is in Ready state.

12. Apply the OpenShift Container Storage label to the new node using any one of the following:

    From User interface

    1. For the new node, click Action Menu (⋮) → Edit Labels.
    2. Add cluster.ocs.openshift.io/openshift-storage and click Save.

    From Command line interface

    • Execute the following command to apply the OpenShift Container Storage label to the new node:

      $ oc label node <new_node_name> cluster.ocs.openshift.io/openshift-storage=""

13. Identify the namespace where OpenShift local storage operator is installed and assign it to local_storage_project variable:

    $ local_storage_project=$(oc get csv --all-namespaces | awk '{print $1}' | grep local)

    For example:

    $ local_storage_project=$(oc get csv --all-namespaces | awk '{print $1}' | grep local)
    echo $local_storage_project
    openshift-local-storage

14. Add a new worker node to localVolumeDiscovery and localVolumeSet.

    1. Update the localVolumeDiscovery definition to include the new node and remove the failed node.

       [...]
          nodeSelector:
           nodeSelectorTerms:
             - matchExpressions:
                 - key: kubernetes.io/hostname
                   operator: In
                   values:
                   - server1.example.com
                   - server2.example.com
                   #- server3.example.com
                   - newnode.example.com
       [...]

       Remember to save before exiting the editor.

       In the above example, server3.example.com was removed and newnode.example.com is the new node.

    2. Determine which localVolumeSet to edit.

       # oc get -n $local_storage_project localvolumeset
       NAME          AGE
       localblock   25h

    3. Update the localVolumeSet definition to include the new node and remove the failed node.

       # oc edit -n $local_storage_project localvolumeset localblock
       [...]
          nodeSelector:
           nodeSelectorTerms:
             - matchExpressions:
                 - key: kubernetes.io/hostname
                   operator: In
                   values:
                   - server1.example.com
                   - server2.example.com
                   #- server3.example.com
                   - newnode.example.com
       [...]

       Remember to save before exiting the editor.

       In the above example, server3.example.com was removed and newnode.example.com is the new node.

15. Verify that the new localblock PV is available.

    $ oc process -n openshift-storage ocs-osd-removal \
    -p FAILED_OSD_IDS=failed-osd-id1,failed-osd-id2 | oc create -f -

18. Verify that the OSD was removed successfully by checking the status of the ocs-osd-removal-job pod.

    A status of Completed confirms that the OSD removal job succeeded.

    # oc get pod -l job-name=ocs-osd-removal-job -n openshift-storage

    Note

    If ocs-osd-removal-job fails and the pod is not in the expected Completed state, check the pod logs for further debugging. For example:

    # oc logs -l job-name=ocs-osd-removal-job -n openshift-storage

19. Delete the ocs-osd-removal-job.

    # oc delete -n openshift-storage job ocs-osd-removal-job

    Example output:

    job.batch "ocs-osd-removal-job" deleted

Verification steps

    -p FAILED_OSD_IDS=failed-osd-id1,failed-osd-id2 | oc create -f -

19. Verify that the OSD was removed successfully by checking the status of the ocs-osd-removal-job pod.

    A status of Completed confirms that the OSD removal job succeeded.

    # oc get pod -l job-name=ocs-osd-removal-job -n openshift-storage

    Note

    If ocs-osd-removal-job fails and the pod is not in the expected Completed state, check the pod logs for further debugging. For example:

    # oc logs -l job-name=ocs-osd-removal-job -n openshift-storage

20. Delete the ocs-osd-removal-job.

    # oc delete -n openshift-storage job ocs-osd-removal-job

    Example output:

    job.batch "ocs-osd-removal-job" deleted

Verification steps

1. Execute the following command and verify that the new node is present in the output:

   $ oc get nodes --show-labels | grep cluster.ocs.openshift.io/openshift-storage= |cut -d' ' -f1

2. Click Workloads → Pods, confirm that at least the following pods on the new node are in Running state:

   • csi-cephfsplugin-*
   • csi-rbdplugin-*

3. Verify that all other required OpenShift Container Storage pods are in Running state.

   Ensure that the new incremental mon is created and is in the Running state.

   $ oc get pod -n openshift-storage | grep mon

   Example output:

4. Verify that new OSD pods are running on the replacement node.

   $ oc get pods -o wide -n openshift-storage| egrep -i new-node-name | egrep osd

5. (Optional) If cluster-wide encryption is enabled on the cluster, verify that the new OSD devices are encrypted.

   For each of the new nodes identified in previous step, do the following:

   1. Create a debug pod and open a chroot environment for the selected host(s).

      $ oc debug node/<node name>
      $ chroot /host

   2. Run “lsblk” and check for the “crypt” keyword beside the ocs-deviceset name(s)

      $ lsblk

Verification steps

1. Execute the following command and verify that the new node is present in the output:

   $ oc get nodes --show-labels | grep cluster.ocs.openshift.io/openshift-storage= |cut -d' ' -f1

2. Click Workloads → Pods, confirm that at least the following pods on the new node are in Running state:

   • csi-cephfsplugin-*
   • csi-rbdplugin-*

3. Verify that all other required OpenShift Container Storage pods are in Running state.

   Ensure that the new incremental mon is created and is in the Running state.

   $ oc get pod -n openshift-storage | grep mon

   Example output:

   rook-ceph-mon-a-cd575c89b-b6k66         2/2     Running
   0          38m
   rook-ceph-mon-b-6776bc469b-tzzt8        2/2     Running
   0          38m
   rook-ceph-mon-d-5ff5d488b5-7v8xh        2/2     Running
   0          4m8s

   OSD and Mon might take several minutes to get to the Running state.

4. Verify that new OSD pods are running on the replacement node.

   $ oc get pods -o wide -n openshift-storage| egrep -i new-node-name | egrep osd

5. (Optional) If cluster-wide encryption is enabled on the cluster, verify that the new OSD devices are encrypted.

   For each of the new nodes identified in previous step, do the following:

   1. Create a debug pod and open a chroot environment for the selected host(s).

      $ oc debug node/<node name>
      $ chroot /host

   2. Run “lsblk” and check for the “crypt” keyword beside the ocs-deviceset name(s)

18. Change to the openshift-storage project.

    $ oc project openshift-storage

19. Remove the failed OSD from the cluster. You can specify multiple failed OSDs if required.

    1. Identify the PVC as afterwards we need to delete PV associated with that specific PVC.

       $ osd_id_to_remove=1
       $ oc get -n openshift-storage -o yaml deployment rook-ceph-osd-${osd_id_to_remove} | grep ceph.rook.io/pvc

       where, osd_id_to_remove is the integer in the pod name immediately after the rook-ceph-osd prefix. In this example, the deployment name is rook-ceph-osd-1.

       Example output:

       ceph.rook.io/pvc: ocs-deviceset-localblock-0-data-0-g2mmc
           ceph.rook.io/pvc: ocs-deviceset-localblock-0-data-0-g2mmc

       In this example, the PVC name is ocs-deviceset-localblock-0-data-0-g2mmc.

    2. Remove the failed OSD from the cluster.

       $ oc process -n openshift-storage ocs-osd-removal -p FAILED_OSD_IDS=${osd_id_to_remove} |oc create -f -

       You can remove more than one OSD by adding comma separated OSD IDs in the command. (For example: FAILED_OSD_IDS=0,1,2)

       Warning

       This step results in OSD being completely removed from the cluster. Ensure that the correct value of osd_id_to_remove is provided.

20. Verify that the OSD is removed successfully by checking the status of the ocs-osd-removal-job pod.

    A status of Completed confirms that the OSD removal job succeeded.

    # oc get pod -l job-name=ocs-osd-removal-job -n openshift-storage

    Note

    If ocs-osd-removal-job fails and the pod is not in the expected Completed state, check the pod logs for further debugging. For example:

    # oc logs -l job-name=ocs-osd-removal-job -n openshift-storage

21. Delete the PV associated with the failed node.

    1. Identify the PV associated with the PVC. PVC name should be identical to what we obtained in Step 16(a).

       # oc get pv -L kubernetes.io/hostname | grep localblock | grep Released
       local-pv-5c9b8982  500Gi  RWO  Delete  Released  openshift-storage/ocs-deviceset-localblock-0-data-0-g2mmc  localblock  24h  worker-0

    2. Delete the PV.

       # oc delete pv <persistent-volume>

       For example:

       # oc delete pv local-pv-5c9b8982
       persistentvolume "local-pv-5c9b8982" deleted

22. Delete the crashcollector pod deployment.

    $ oc delete deployment --selector=app=rook-ceph-crashcollector,node_name=<node_name> -n openshift-storage

23. Delete the ocs-osd-removal-job.

    # oc delete -n openshift-storage job ocs-osd-removal-job

    Example output:

    job.batch "ocs-osd-removal-job" deleted

Verification steps

1. Execute the following command and verify that the new node is present in the output:

   $ oc get nodes --show-labels | grep cluster.ocs.openshift.io/openshift-storage= |cut -d' ' -f1

2. Click Workloads → Pods, confirm that at least the following pods on the new node are in Running state:

   • csi-cephfsplugin-*
   • csi-rbdplugin-*

3. Verify that all other required OpenShift Container Storage pods are in Running state.

   Ensure that the new incremental mon is created and is in the Running state.

   $ oc get pod -n openshift-storage | grep mon

   Example output:

   rook-ceph-mon-b-74f6dc9dd6-4llzq                                   1/1     Running     0          6h14m
   rook-ceph-mon-c-74948755c-h7wtx                                  1/1     Running     0          4h24m
   rook-ceph-mon-d-598f69869b-4bv49                                   1/1     Running     0          162m

   OSD and Mon might take several minutes to get to the Running state.

4. Verify that new OSD pods are running on the replacement node.

   $ oc get pods -o wide -n openshift-storage| egrep -i new-node-name | egrep osd

5. (Optional) If cluster-wide encryption is enabled on the cluster, verify that the new OSD devices are encrypted.

   For each of the new nodes identified in previous step, do the following:

   1. Create a debug pod and open a chroot environment for the selected host(s).

      $ oc debug node/<node name>
      $ chroot /host

   2. Run “lsblk” and check for the “crypt” keyword beside the ocs-deviceset name(s)

      $ lsblk

6. If verification steps fail, contact Red Hat Support.
