Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
The flannel network was previously defined using the same subnet as the kubernetes services subnet. This caused a conflict between services and SDN networks. The flannel network is now correctly defined by the osm_cluster_network_cidr variable.

Description Ryan Howe 2017-07-21 21:39:00 UTC
Description of problem:

For flannel installs we are setting the pod network = to the service network. Instead the pod network needs to be set to the value we pass for osm_cluster_network_cidr when configuring flannel. 

Version-Release number of the following components:
OCP 3.5 


Additional info:

The flannel configuration uses the portal_net and default to 172.30.0.0/16. We also hard set the min network to 172.30.5.0  This value should be set via the installer host variables passed.

3.6 as well.

Tested with openshift-ansible-3.7.0-0.126.4.git.0.3fc2b9b.el7.noarch.rpm

Comment 6 Miheer Salunke 2017-09-18 06:52:44 UTC
After setting ->
osm_cluster_network_cidr=10.128.0.0/14
osm_host_subnet_length=9

I get the following error ->
AnsibleError: {{ 32 - openshift.master.sdn_host_subnet_length }}: Unexpected templating type error occurred on ({{ 32 - openshift.master.sdn_host_subnet_length }}): unsupported operand type(s) for -: 'int' and 'AnsibleUnsafeText'




The following helped to set the CIDR ->

openshift.master.sdn_cluster_network_cidr=10.128.0.0/14
openshift.master.sdn_host_subnet_length=9

Comment 7 Eduardo Minguez 2017-09-19 09:08:27 UTC
So, I've created a cluster from scratch using the latest 3.6 bits + modifying manually the files provided in the PR, and using the default values (so I didn't touched osm_cluster_network_cidr nor osm_host_subnet_length) and it worked for me:


# alias oetcdctl='etcdctl --cert-file=/etc/etcd/peer.crt --key-file=/etc/etcd/peer.key --ca-file=/etc/etcd/ca.crt --peers="https://master-0.edu.flannel.com:2379,https://master-1.edu.flannel.com:2379,https://master-2.edu.flannel.com:2379"'
# oetcdctl get /openshift.com/network/config
{
    "Network": "10.128.0.0/14",
    "SubnetLen": 23,
    "Backend": {
        "Type": "host-gw"
     }
}
# oetcdctl ls /openshift.com/network/subnets
/openshift.com/network/subnets/10.128.10.0-23
/openshift.com/network/subnets/10.128.108.0-23

# oetcdctl get /openshift.com/network/subnets/10.128.98.0-23
{"PublicIP":"192.168.98.10","BackendType":"host-gw"}

Is there any other modification that can affect that since the version in GA right now (the one I've used)?

Eduardo, your change is only on the master branch you'll want to test a 3.7 version of the installer, right?

I can do it if needed, but the thing is I think it should be backported to older releases as well. I've tested 3.6 + manually patching those files as is the GA bits I can use (IDK how to test 3.7 TBH)

So was it that the following values we used were ignored and the default values were taken ?

openshift.master.sdn_cluster_network_cidr=10.128.0.0/14
openshift.master.sdn_host_subnet_length=9

Also what if a customer want set custom cluster cidr and host subnet length ?

Comment 11 Eduardo Minguez 2017-09-21 07:47:14 UTC
So, I did deployed the OCP cluster not setting any values to pod network nor services network to check if it worked with default values (the most common scenario AFAIK)

I didn't have the chance to test it with different values for the cidr or subnet yet.

Comment 12 Eduardo Minguez 2017-09-21 16:04:41 UTC
I've tested with custom values and it failed. I've created a new PR[1] that fixes the issue in my tests


[cloud-user@bastion ~]$ grep -E 'osm|portal' /etc/ansible/hosts
osm_default_node_selector="role=app"
osm_use_cockpit=true
osm_cluster_network_cidr=10.130.0.0/14
osm_host_subnet_length=8
openshift_portal_net=10.111.0.0/16

After the installation:


[root@master-0 ~]# alias oetcdctl='etcdctl --cert-file=/etc/etcd/peer.crt --key-file=/etc/etcd/peer.key --ca-file=/etc/etcd/ca.crt --peers="https://master-0.edu.flannel.com:2379,https://master-1.edu.flannel.com:2379,https://master-2.edu.flannel.com:2379"'
[root@master-0 ~]# oetcdctl get /openshift.com/network/config
{
    "Network": "10.130.0.0/14",
    "SubnetLen": 24,
    "Backend": {
        "Type": "host-gw"
     }
}


But, the subnets assigned to the nodes are on different subnet:

[root@master-0 ~]# oetcdctl ls /openshift.com/network/subnets
/openshift.com/network/subnets/10.128.83.0-24
/openshift.com/network/subnets/10.128.18.0-24
/openshift.com/network/subnets/10.128.77.0-24
/openshift.com/network/subnets/10.128.101.0-24
/openshift.com/network/subnets/10.128.20.0-24
/openshift.com/network/subnets/10.128.92.0-24
/openshift.com/network/subnets/10.128.58.0-24
/openshift.com/network/subnets/10.128.48.0-24

I think I will need some help with that, as TBH I'm not an openshift-ansible expert.

Comment 13 Eduardo Minguez 2017-09-29 09:02:23 UTC
So the PR has been merged as the subnets were ok (it was just me not knowing how to subnet :D)
Is there anything I can do in order to push it? Will it be backported to <3.7 releases?
Thx!

Comment 14 Scott Dodson 2017-09-29 13:21:46 UTC
PRs against release-3.6, release-1.5, and release-1.4 branches would be helpful. I'll try to get to those today if you don't. We should include both of your fixes in each of those PRs.

I think I got it:

* PR against release-1.4 -> https://github.com/openshift/openshift-ansible/pull/5592
* PR against release-1.5 -> https://github.com/openshift/openshift-ansible/pull/5591
* PR against release-3.6 -> https://github.com/openshift/openshift-ansible/pull/5590

Thanks!

Verified with openshift-ansible-3.7.0-0.147.0.git.0.2fb41ee.el7.noarch.rpm

Both default vales and custom values works.
