PODs failed to configure pod interface: timed out waiting for OVS port binding in Openshift 4

Solution In Progress - Updated -

Issue

  • PODs creation/restart does not work due to the inability to add the Container Network Interface:
    error adding container to network "ovn-kubernetes": CNI request failed with status 400
    failed to configure pod interface: timed out waiting for OVS port binding (ovn-installed) for 0a:58:xX:Xx:xX:Xx [192.168.X.XX/25]
  • High number of restarts for ovn-kube node PODs.
  • ovn-controllers take a very large amount of memory.
  • Worker Nodes go into OOM and become NotReady.

Environment

  • Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform (RHOCP)
    • 4
    • OVNKubernetes
