Description Christian Koep 2020-03-07 21:50:30 UTC

Document URL: 

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/openshift_container_platform/3.11/html/cluster_administration/admin-guide-sysctls

Section Number and Name: 

34.5. Enabling unsafe sysctls

Describe the issue: 

The documentation (in version 3.11) should advise to adjust node ConfigMaps instead of editing  /etc/origin/node/node-config.yaml directly.

Suggestions for improvement: 

https://access.redhat.com/solutions/4830591 describes the correct process.

Christian --

Please see https://github.com/openshift/openshift-docs/pull/20812.

Do we need all of the steps in the solution? Previously, we instructed users to edit the config map and restart the node service. Nothing about updating the SCC or editing the deploymentConfigs.
