Description Walid A. 2019-02-14 05:55:54 UTC
Description:

Description of problem:
When trying to scale nodejs/mongodb quickstart app deployment past 250 pods per worker node, we are getting pod volume mount errors around 50 pods per node pod density.  This is causing the nodejs-mogodb-example pods to terminate, and eventually worker nodes go NodeNotReady as we try to deploy more quickstart apps.  This is on AWS cluster with 3 masters (m4.xlarge) and 3 worker nodes (m4.16xlarge).  KubeletArgument maxPods was set to 500 (from default 250) in the jopes of being able to scale pod deployment past 250 per node.

Events from namespace where the pod volume mount errors are observed:

# ./openshift-install version
./openshift-install v4.0.0-0.150.0.0-dirty


How reproducible:
Reproduced several times.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new OCP 4.0 cluster with nightly payload:
  a. export BUILD_VERSION=4.0.0-0.nightly-2019-01-30-145955
  b. oc adm release info --pullspecs registry.svc.ci.openshift.org/ocp/release:${BUILD_VERSION} | grep installer
  c. export CONTAINER_ID=$(docker create quay.io/openshift-release-dev/ocp-v4.0-art-dev@sha256:ae9b43dac5708dae29a2c0899aa21e99f56d54540222f5b7da383261af0ba741)
  d. mkdir installer_2019-01-30-145955, 
  e. cd installer_2019-01-30-145955
  f. docker cp $CONTAINER_ID:/usr/bin/openshift-install .
  g. export OPENSHIFT_INSTALL_RELEASE_IMAGE_OVERRIDE=registry.svc.ci.openshift.org/ocp/release:4.0.0-0.nightly-2019-01-30-145955
  h. export _OPENSHIFT_INSTALL_RELEASE_IMAGE_OVERRIDE=registry.svc.ci.openshift.org/ocp/release:4.0.0-0.nightly-2019-01-30-145955
  i. ./openshift-install --dir=$(pwd) create cluster --log-level=debug

2. git clone the openshift/svt repo:
   git clone https://github.com/openshift/svt.git
   
3. cd svt/openshift_scalability/
4. Run python cluster-loader with config file to deploy 10 projects each with one nodejs-mongodb quickstart build, deploymentconfig, resulting in one mongodb pod and 4 replicas of nodejs-mongodb-example pods.  Total 50 pods.  Config file and template is in the attached Logs.
5. Wait 10 minutes
6. Deploy next 10 projects with 50 more mongo/nodejs pods
7. Repeat steps 5-6 three more times 

Actual results:
After about 50 mongo/nodejs running pods per worker node, we started getting errors "MountVolume.SetUp failed for volume ... couldn't propagate object cache: timed out waiting for the condition" and the nodejs-mongodb-example started to get deleted.  Each subsequent project with new quickstart mongodb/nodejs deployment was not successful, as we kep getting these MountVolume.Setup failed errors.  Eventually the worker node go NotReady.

Expected results:
All mongodb and nodejs-mongodb-example pods should running in all the projects

Links to journal logs from worker nodes, events, and oc command outputs are provided in next comment.

Comment 2 Robert Krawitz 2019-02-18 16:23:19 UTC
It looks like there are some other dependencies (I'm getting a dependency on rbd, for instance).  Running

pip install rbd

gives

$ pip install rbd
Collecting rbd
  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement rbd (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for rbd

Also, what is the exact conmmand required for step 4?

Comment 9 Robert Krawitz 2019-02-19 16:54:48 UTC
Reproduced in testing.  Note additional error of "MountVolume.SetUp failed for volume "build-system-configs" : configmap "nodejs-mongodb-example-1-sys-config" not found".

Ran 150 projects, each with 5 nodejs/mongodb apps deployed.  The last 20 pods went into pending state as we reached the max 250 pods per worker node.
Value of kubeletArgument maxPods was the default 250.  I did not see any nodejs app pods terminating after being started.

This is the first time on OCP 4.0 that we were able to scale nodejs quickstart app deployment up to the maxPods 250 pods per node value.
