Install using oVirt platform provider

Overview

This provider enables the OpenShift Installer to provision VM resources in an oVirt data center, that will be used as worker and masters of the clusters. It will also create the bootstrap machine, and the configuration needed to get the initial cluster running by supplying DNS a service and load balancing, all using static pods. This work is related to the Bare-Metal provider because oVirt does not supply DNS and LB services but is a platform provider. See also OpenShift-Metal³ kni-installer

Prerequisite

  1. oVirt/RHV version 4.3.9.4 or later.
  2. Allocate 3 IP on the VM network:
    • IP for the internal kubernetes api, that all components will interact with
    • IP for the internal DNS service, to bootstrap etcd and to resolve names like api.$CLUSTER_NAME.$CLUSTER_DOMAIN and node names
    • IP for the Ingress, the load balancer in front of the cluster apps To work with this provider one must supply 2 IPs that are related to any MAC in the virtualization env, where the cluster will run. Those IPs will be active by keepalived, on, initially the bootstrap machine, and then the masters, after a fail-over, when the bootstrap is killed. Locate those IP's in the target network. If you want the network details, go to oVirt's webadmin and look for the designated cluster details and its networks. One way to check if an IP is in use is to check if it has ARP associated with it perform this check while on one of the hosts that would run the VMs: 
      $ arp 10.35.1.19
10.35.1.1 (10.35.1.1) -- no entry
  3. Name resolution of api_vip from your installing machine The installer must resolve the api_vip during the installation, as it will interact with the API to follow the cluster version progress.

Minimum resources

The default master/worker:

  • 4 CPUs
  • 16 RAM
  • 120 GB disk

For 3 masters/3 workers, the target Cluster must have at least:

Worker count can be reduced to 2 in install-config.yaml in case needed.

The cluster will create by default 1 bootstrap, 3 master, and 3 workers machines. By the time the first worker is up the bootstrap VM should be destroyed, and this is included in the minimum resources calculation.

Install

Install using the wizard

At this stage the installer can create a cluster by gathering all the information using a wizard:

$ openshift-install create cluster --dir=install_dir
? SSH Public Key /home/user/.ssh/id_dsa.pub
? Platform ovirt
? Enter oVirt's api endpoint URL https://ovirt-engine-fqdn/ovirt-engine/api
? Is the installed oVirt certificate trusted? Yes
? Enter ovirt-engine username admin@internal
? Enter password ***
? oVirt cluster xxxx
? oVirt storage xxxx
? oVirt network xxxx
? Internal API virtual IP 10.0.0.1
? Internal DNS virtual IP 10.0.0.2
? Ingress virtual IP 10.0.0.3
? Base Domain example.org
? Cluster Name test
? Pull Secret [? for help]

INFO Login to the console with user: kubeadmin, password: xxxxxxxxx

Install in stages when customization is needed

Start the installation by creating an install-config interactively, using a work-dir:

$ openshift-install create install-config --dir=install_dir

The resulting install_dir/install-config.yaml can be further customized if needed. For general customization please see docs/user/customization.md For ovirt-specific see customization.md Continue the installation using the install-config in the new folder install_dir

$ openshift-install create cluster --dir=install_dir

When the all prompts are done the installer will create 3 VMs under the Cluster supplied, and another VM as the bootstrap node. The bootstrap will perform ignition fully and will advertise the IP in the pre-login msg. Go to Engine webadmin UI, and open the console of the bootstrap VM to get it. In the end the installer finishes and the cluster should be up.

To access the cluster as the system:admin user:

$ export KUBECONFIG=$PWD/install_dir/auth/kubeconfig
$ oc get nodes
