Chapter 4. Overriding the cluster-wide default node selector for OpenShift Data Foundation post deployment

When a cluster-wide default node selector is used for OpenShift Data Foundation, the pods generated by CSI daemonsets are able to start only on the nodes that match the selector. To be able to use OpenShift Data Foundation from nodes which do not match the selector, override the cluster-wide default node selector by performing the following steps in the command line interface :

Procedure

  1. Specify a blank node selector for the openshift-storage namespace. 

    $ oc annotate namespace openshift-storage openshift.io/node-selector=

  2. Delete the original pods generated by the DaemonSets. 

    oc delete pod -l app=csi-cephfsplugin -n openshift-storage
oc delete pod -l app=csi-rbdplugin -n openshift-storage
