Description Will Gordon 2020-07-17 15:43:39 UTC
Description of problem:

The installer is currently validating and warning for a CIDR overlap that doesn't exist: https://github.com/openshift/installer/blob/master/pkg/validate/validate.go#L138

After confirming with SDN, this Docker Bridge subnet does not exist, nor is used in OCP v4 on CRI-O


How reproducible: always


Steps to Reproduce:

1. Provide a Machine CIDR of "172.17.0.0/16" in the installer
2. Try to install your cluster


Actual results:

"time="2020-04-21T10:45:21Z" level=debug msg="installer console log: level=fatal msg=\"failed to fetch Master Machines: failed to load asset \\\"Install Config\\\": invalid \\\"install-config.yaml\\\" file: networking.clusterNetwork[0].cidr: Invalid value: \\\"172.16.0.0/15\\\": overlaps with default Docker Bridge subnet (172.16.0.0/15)\"\n" installID=qn46zp8f"


Expected results:

This validation is invalid and should be removed


Additional info:
Validation appears to have been originally introduced in https://github.com/openshift/installer/pull/342/files#diff-474a68b8f7d6552a4f35f1d003d86e8bR463. This *was* a valid validation in OCP v3, but no longer in OCP v4

Comment 2 Dan Williams 2020-07-17 16:35:05 UTC
Docker will not be present on any OCP 4.x clusters, as docker is not installed by RHCOS and should not even be used on BYOH. As such https://github.com/openshift/installer/blob/master/pkg/validate/validate.go#L137 is wrong and should be removed.

The code in question validates whether the ClusterCIDR, ServiceCIDR, and MachineNetworks overlap with "special" subnets. Docker won't be one of those in 4.x.

The only thing I can think of to check is the podman/crio default bridge subnet, but normally nodes should not be running non-host-network containers in an OpenShift cluster outside of kubelet and the CNI plugin. That subnet is 10.88.0.0/16

Comment 5 Abhinav Dahiya 2020-07-17 18:52:01 UTC
> 
"time="2020-04-21T10:45:21Z" level=debug msg="installer console log: level=fatal msg=\"failed to fetch Master Machines: failed to load asset \\\"Install Config\\\": invalid \\\"install-config.yaml\\\" file: networking.clusterNetwork[0].cidr: Invalid value: \\\"172.16.0.0/15\\\": overlaps with default Docker Bridge subnet (172.16.0.0/15)\"\n" installID=qn46zp8f"

The validation message is clear that the installer does not support networks that overlap with docker subnnet bridge (172.16.0.0/15). This is not a bug. If the user requirement is to remove this restriction please track the feature work in JIRA by creating a story in
- https://issues.redhat.com/projects/RFE or,
- https://issues.redhat.com/projects/CORS

Comment 7 Dan Williams 2020-07-18 01:23:54 UTC
@abhinav it is a bug, because docker has not been present on *any* OpenShift 4.x cluster ever. It is a bug that a user of OpenShift 4.x cannot assign a ClusterCIDR, ServiceCIDR, or MachineNetwork that overlaps with a subnet that is not, and will never be, used by a docker bridge in OpenShift or RHEL.

Comment 15 Yang Yang 2020-08-03 04:24:56 UTC
Reproducing it with openshift-install 4.5.0-rc.5
Install GCP cluster with network set as below:
networking:
  clusterNetwork:
  - cidr: 172.16.0.0/14
    hostPrefix: 23
  machineNetwork:
  - cidr: 10.211.66.0/23 
  networkType: OpenShiftSDN
  serviceNetwork:
  - 172.30.0.0/16

# openshift-install create cluster --dir bz
FATAL failed to fetch Metadata: failed to load asset "Install Config": invalid "install-config.yaml" file: networking.clusterNetwork[0].cidr: Invalid value: "172.16.0.0/14": overlaps with default Docker Bridge subnet (172.16.0.0/14) 

Verifying it with openshift-install 4.6.0-0.nightly-2020-08-02-091622 on GCP

There is a warning against CIDR prompted and the installation is successful.

Comment 16 Yang Yang 2020-08-03 05:56:07 UTC
Verifying it on libvirt with below setting:

networking:
  clusterNetwork:
  - cidr: 172.16.0.0/14
    hostPrefix: 23
  machineNetwork:
  - cidr: 10.211.66.0/23

There is an error against CIDR prompted

Comment 17 Yang Yang 2020-08-04 06:11:54 UTC
Verified on AWS with below networking:
networking:
  clusterNetwork:
  - cidr: 10.128.0.0/14
    hostPrefix: 23
  machineNetwork:
  - cidr: 172.17.0.0/16
  networkType: OpenShiftSDN
  serviceNetwork:
  - 172.30.0.0/16

+ ./openshift-install create manifests --dir '/home/jenkins/workspace/Launch Environment Flexy/workdir/install-dir'
level=warning msg="networking.machineNetwork[0]: 172.17.0.0/16 overlaps with default Docker Bridge subnet"

There is a warning against CIDR prompted and the installation is successful.

Comment 18 Yang Yang 2020-08-04 06:24:34 UTC
Verified on vsphere with below networking:
networking:
  clusterNetwork:
  - cidr: 10.128.0.0/14
    hostPrefix: 23
  machineNetwork:
  - cidr: 10.0.0.0/16
  networkType: OpenShiftSDN
  serviceNetwork:
  - 172.17.0.0/14

+ ./openshift-install create manifests --dir '/home/installer4/workspace/Launch Environment Flexy/workdir/install-dir'
level=warning msg="networking.serviceNetwork[0]: 172.17.0.0/14 overlaps with default Docker Bridge subnet"

There is a warning against serviceNetwork prompted.

In short, on libvirt platform overlap with docker bridge is forbidden, and on the others platform overloap with docker bridge is allowed and has an warning shown to user. Moving it to verified state.

The issue is fixed in 4.6, so please have a try with 4.6 payload.
