Cluster node Management

General things to look at when rebooting a node

  1. Does the node have any rook-ceph-osd-* pods? Check the corresponging ceph cluster for health, make sure you bring down one node of that cluster at a time
  2. Does the node have any haproxy-ingress-* pods? If node is coming down for a long time, disable the record in Constellix DNS.
  3. Does the node have the nautilus.io/linstor-server label? This node is the linstor server. Some are redundant, some are not.
  4. Does the node have nautilus.io/bgp-speaker label? There are 2 nodes in the cluster used for MetalLB IPs, keep one of those alive.
  5. Does the node have node-role.kubernetes.io/master label and is not admiralty virtual node? Rebooting this node will make the cluster not accessible.

Prerequisites

  1. Install Ansible on a local computer.

  2. Clone the repo of ansible playbooks:

    git clone https://gitlab.nrp-nautilus.io/prp/nautilus-ansible.git
    
  3. Pull the latest updates from the playbook repo:

      cd nautilus-ansible;
      git pull
    

Reboot a node due to GPU failure

ansible-playbook reboot.yaml -i nautilus-ansible/nautilus-hosts.yaml -l <nodename>

Special instruction to reboot Ceph nodes

If multiple nodes within a Ceph cluster need to be rebooted, in order to maintain enough OSDs for redundancy, only one node is allowed to be rebooted at a time.

Run this command to enter rook-ceph-tools pod shell, where is the namespace of the corresponding Ceph cluster (one of rook, rook-east, rook-pacific, rook-haosu, rook-suncave):

kubectl exec -it -n <namespace> $(kubectl get pods -n <namespace> --selector=app=rook-ceph-tools --output=jsonpath={.items..metadata.name}) -- bash

In the pod shell, run

watch ceph health detail

Wait until [WRN] OSD_DOWN: 1 osds down to disappear from the ceph health detail output to reboot the next node.
