Adding nodes in IBM Power clusters can result in failed File Integrity node status
Issue
When using the File Integrity Operator on IBM Power systems, you may observe Failed
File Integrity node status for newly added nodes when scaling up the cluster.
This issue will manifest after scaling up the machine set. When the new node reaches a Provisioned
and Running
state, the File Integrity Operator will deploy AIDE to monitor the file system. At this point, any changes to the file system not explicitly excluded in the AIDE configuration file, will result in an alert and Failed
node status:
$ oc get fileintegritynodestatuses.fileintegrity.openshift.io
NAME NODE STATUS
example-fileintegrity-worker worker-node Failed
Environment
Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform environments hosted on IBM Power hardware using the File Integrity Operator version 1.3.1.
