Graceful Startup of an Openshift 4 Cluster

This SOP should be followed in the following scenarios:

  • Graceful start up of an Openshift 4 cluster.

Steps

Prequisite steps:

Start the VM Control Plane instances

Ensure that the control plane instances start first.

# Virsh command to start the VMs

Start the physical nodes

To connect to idrac, you must be connected to the Red Hat VPN. Next find the management IP associated with each node.

On the batcave01 instance, in the dns configuration, the following bare metal machines make up the production/staging OCP4 worker nodes.

oshift-dell01             IN        A     10.16.160.180  # worker01 prod
oshift-dell02             IN        A     10.16.160.181  # worker02 prod
oshift-dell03             IN        A     10.16.160.182  # worker03 prod
oshift-dell04             IN        A     10.16.160.183  # worker01 staging
oshift-dell05             IN        A     10.16.160.184  # worker02 staging
oshift-dell06             IN        A     10.16.160.185  # worker03 staging

Login to the idrac interface that corresponds with each worker, one at a time. Ensure the node is booting via harddrive, then power it on.

Once the nodes have been started they must be uncordoned if appropriate
