Document URL: https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/3.11/admin_guide/assembly_restore-etcd-quorum.html#cluster-restore-etcd-quorum-single-node_restore-etcd-quorum Section Number and Name: Creating a single-node etcd cluster From Step 2 onward, the instructions do not work out of the box with a fresh cluster. Describe the issue: [1] The following file from Step2 is not present by default. This requires `etcd` to be installed in the default namespace. ` /usr/lib/systemd/system/etcd.service ` This can be resolved by ensuring that `rpm -qa etcd` is present or running `yum install -y etcd`. [2] In fresh clusters, ETCD certificates are protected and only accessible with `root` permissions. The `/usr/lib/systemd/system/etcd.service` file is configured to use `etcd` user. This should be changed to `root`. [3] Step 3 must specify the certificates/endpoints, or ensure that the ETCD server will serve insecure clients Suggestions for improvement: Replace the reference to `/usr/lib/systemd/system/etcd.service` with the values expected for the systemctl command. Additional information: This issue was experienced in a customers cluster and then reproduced on Red Hat's quicklab clusters.
