Description Ryan Fredette 2021-05-12 20:38:28 UTC
Description of problem:
When keepalived is starting, the startup script calls iptables to add a rule allowing VRRP multicast. However, iptables is not present in the image, so the error "iptables: command not found" is thrown


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch a pod using the image registry.redhat.io/openshift4/ose-keepalived-ipfailover:latest
2. Run oc logs <pod-name>
3.

Actual results:

$ oc logs ipfailover-keepalived-7d95646cb5-7vkcm
... snip ...
  - check for iptables rule for keepalived multicast (224.0.0.18) ...
/var/lib/ipfailover/keepalived/lib/failover-functions.sh: line 55: iptables: command not found
  - adding iptables rule to INPUT to access 224.0.0.18.
/var/lib/ipfailover/keepalived/lib/failover-functions.sh: line 58: iptables: command not found
... snip ...


Expected results:

Comment 1 Miciah Dashiel Butler Masters 2021-05-18 16:51:11 UTC
We suspect that the requirement to use the host's iptables command comes from the RHEL8 rebase, which landed in OpenShift 4.6.  Let's get this fixed in 4.8 and then check if we need to backport changes to 4.7 and 4.6.
