Document URL: https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.13/virt/install/preparing-cluster-for-virt.html#cluster-high-availability-options_preparing-cluster-for-virt ~ and ~ https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.13/virt/virtual_machines/virt-triggering-vm-failover-resolving-failed-node.html Section Number and Name: See above Describe the issue: Today two relevant parts to "fencing" are disconnected in the docs. One part is part of "Installation" second half is part of "VM Management". Suggestions for improvement: Create a new section under AdV vm mgmt to be called "High Availability" and to link to the two existing sections. Additional information:
Fabian, We have an existing section called "Node maintenance" (https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.13/virt/node_maintenance/virt-about-node-maintenance.html). We could move the HA section and node documentation there. What do you think? Also, the Operator needs to be updated to Node Self Remediation Operator in the docs.
Avital, I see where you are coming from. But I actually tink that the two places we have today are good: 1. Installation, to call out to make sure HA is enabled 2. User looking to undertsand how to make a VM HA, this belongs into a VM section. Thus while it concerns nodes, the existing two sections are .. good where they are. However, I could imagine a new section under node to be caleld "Node recovery" or "remediation" which tells how this cna be done manually or automatically. But this would be an RFE iiuic.
Fabian, > 2. User looking to undertsand how to make a VM HA, this belongs into a VM section. Re: https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.13/virt/virtual_machines/virt-triggering-vm-failover-resolving-failed-node.html This looks like a remediation to me. I am not sure why it belongs in the VM section.
You are right https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.13/virt/virtual_machines/virt-triggering-vm-failover-resolving-failed-node.html better fits into node maintenance. The remaining issue: we do not have anything about VM HA, IIRC. We do not call it out specifically in the docs. Thus from a content perspective, as you said, it should move to node maint. but from a topic perspective we should see that we fill the gap for VM HA. Thus now I'm requesting a short section called "High-Availability" in "Advanced Virtual Machine Management" to - state that VM HA is enabled by enabling remediating nodes - node remediation can be done manually (link to resolving failed node) and automatically with NHC/MHC (link to preparing cluster)
Fabian, please review the PR: https://github.com/openshift/openshift-docs/pull/62506
