Description Eduardo Minguez 2020-03-26 15:58:50 UTC
Description of problem:
In recent OCP4 versions, nodeip-configuration service is failing:

[root@kni1-worker-0 ~]# systemctl status nodeip-configuration.service

It seems the problem is the service was executed before an address in the vip subnet was set.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.4.0-202003230106 at least (4.4 RC0)

How reproducible:
It seems a race condition because sometimes it works.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Deploy an IPI baremetal cluster
2. 
3.

Actual results:
Installation fails due to timeout.

Expected results:
Installation finish successfully.

Additional info:
The service has After=network-online.target dependency but according to the docs:

Units that strictly require a configured network connection should pull in network-online.target (via a Wants= type dependency) and order themselves after it. This target unit is intended to pull in a service that delays further execution until the network is sufficiently set up. What precisely this requires is left to the implementation of the network managing service.

So I'm not sure if NetworkManager starts the network-online.target before having that IP and if that's the case, maybe an ExecStartPre directive to ping the gateway or something in that direction will fix it.

Comment 1 Antoni Segura Puimedon 2020-03-30 12:55:46 UTC
The issue is:

* NetworkManager-wait-online will only wait for whichever networking comes up first (which is not necessarily the control plane network we need) or 30 seconds (whichever comes first).
* The nodeip configuration service runs as a oneshot systemd service and if it fails it does not restart.

We'll either leverage newer systemd support for retry on failure oneshot services or add the mechanism to the executables being called by the service.

Comment 2 Antoni Segura Puimedon 2020-03-30 13:15:56 UTC
The commit to systemd that adds the restart capability is:


    10e72727ee - (6 months ago) Allow restart for oneshot units — Claudio Zumbo

This got included to systemd releases:

    $ git tag --contains 10e72727ee
    v244
    v244-rc1
    v245
    v245-rc1
    v245-rc2

So most likely we need to implement the retry mechanism in our executables.

Comment 5 Dana Safford 2020-04-02 18:54:34 UTC
As this is becoming important, I raised the Customer Escalation Flag.

Comment 6 Steve Milner 2020-04-03 13:15:13 UTC
Updating to 4.4.0 target per https://github.com/openshift/machine-config-operator/pull/1601#issuecomment-608425178

Comment 9 Victor Voronkov 2020-04-10 09:15:46 UTC
Verified on 4.4.0-0.ci-2020-04-09-133825

we modified the systemd configuration to let the nodeip service start before network-online.target

sudo vi /etc/systemd/system/nodeip-configuration.service
[Unit]
Description=Writes IP address configuration so that kubelet and crio services select a valid node IP
# This only applies to VIP managing environments where the kubelet and crio IP
# address picking logic is flawed and may end up selecting an address from a
# different subnet or a deprecated address

Before=kubelet.service crio.service

[Service]

##### then rebooted the node and watch the log:
