Chapter 10. Removing Serverless
10.1. Removing OpenShift Serverless overview
If you need to remove OpenShift Serverless from your cluster, you can do so by manually removing the OpenShift Serverless Operator and other OpenShift Serverless components. Before you can remove the OpenShift Serverless Operator, you must remove Knative Serving and Knative Eventing.
After uninstalling the OpenShift Serverless, you can remove the Operator and API custom resource definitions (CRDs) that remain on the cluster.
The steps for fully removing OpenShift Serverless are detailed in the following procedures:
10.2. Uninstalling OpenShift Serverless Knative Eventing
Before you can remove the OpenShift Serverless Operator, you must remove Knative Eventing. To uninstall Knative Eventing, you must remove the KnativeEventing
custom resource (CR) and delete the knative-eventing
namespace.
10.2.1. Uninstalling Knative Eventing
Prerequisites
- You have access to an OpenShift Container Platform account with cluster administrator access.
-
Install the OpenShift CLI (
oc
).
Procedure
Delete the
KnativeEventing
CR:$ oc delete knativeeventings.operator.knative.dev knative-eventing -n knative-eventing
After the command has completed and all pods have been removed from the
knative-eventing
namespace, delete the namespace:$ oc delete namespace knative-eventing
10.3. Uninstalling OpenShift Serverless Knative Serving
Before you can remove the OpenShift Serverless Operator, you must remove Knative Serving. To uninstall Knative Serving, you must remove the KnativeServing
custom resource (CR) and delete the knative-serving
namespace.
10.3.1. Uninstalling Knative Serving
Prerequisites
- You have access to an OpenShift Container Platform account with cluster administrator access.
-
Install the OpenShift CLI (
oc
).
Procedure
Delete the
KnativeServing
CR:$ oc delete knativeservings.operator.knative.dev knative-serving -n knative-serving
After the command has completed and all pods have been removed from the
knative-serving
namespace, delete the namespace:$ oc delete namespace knative-serving
10.4. Removing the OpenShift Serverless Operator
After you have removed Knative Serving and Knative Eventing, you can remove the OpenShift Serverless Operator. You can do this by using the OpenShift Container Platform web console or the oc
CLI.
10.4.1. Deleting Operators from a cluster using the web console
Cluster administrators can delete installed Operators from a selected namespace by using the web console.
Prerequisites
-
Access to an OpenShift Container Platform cluster web console using an account with
cluster-admin
permissions.
Procedure
-
Navigate to the Operators
Installed Operators page. - Scroll or enter a keyword into the Filter by name field to find the Operator that you want to remove. Then, click on it.
On the right side of the Operator Details page, select Uninstall Operator from the Actions list.
An Uninstall Operator? dialog box is displayed.
Select Uninstall to remove the Operator, Operator deployments, and pods. Following this action, the Operator stops running and no longer receives updates.
NoteThis action does not remove resources managed by the Operator, including custom resource definitions (CRDs) and custom resources (CRs). Dashboards and navigation items enabled by the web console and off-cluster resources that continue to run might need manual clean up. To remove these after uninstalling the Operator, you might need to manually delete the Operator CRDs.
10.4.2. Deleting Operators from a cluster using the CLI
Cluster administrators can delete installed Operators from a selected namespace by using the CLI.
Prerequisites
-
Access to an OpenShift Container Platform cluster using an account with
cluster-admin
permissions. -
oc
command installed on workstation.
Procedure
Check the current version of the subscribed Operator (for example,
jaeger
) in thecurrentCSV
field:$ oc get subscription jaeger -n openshift-operators -o yaml | grep currentCSV
Example output
currentCSV: jaeger-operator.v1.8.2
Delete the subscription (for example,
jaeger
):$ oc delete subscription jaeger -n openshift-operators
Example output
subscription.operators.coreos.com "jaeger" deleted
Delete the CSV for the Operator in the target namespace using the
currentCSV
value from the previous step:$ oc delete clusterserviceversion jaeger-operator.v1.8.2 -n openshift-operators
Example output
clusterserviceversion.operators.coreos.com "jaeger-operator.v1.8.2" deleted
10.4.3. Refreshing failing subscriptions
In Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM), if you subscribe to an Operator that references images that are not accessible on your network, you can find jobs in the openshift-marketplace
namespace that are failing with the following errors:
Example output
ImagePullBackOff for Back-off pulling image "example.com/openshift4/ose-elasticsearch-operator-bundle@sha256:6d2587129c846ec28d384540322b40b05833e7e00b25cca584e004af9a1d292e"
Example output
rpc error: code = Unknown desc = error pinging docker registry example.com: Get "https://example.com/v2/": dial tcp: lookup example.com on 10.0.0.1:53: no such host
As a result, the subscription is stuck in this failing state and the Operator is unable to install or upgrade.
You can refresh a failing subscription by deleting the subscription, cluster service version (CSV), and other related objects. After recreating the subscription, OLM then reinstalls the correct version of the Operator.
Prerequisites
- You have a failing subscription that is unable to pull an inaccessible bundle image.
- You have confirmed that the correct bundle image is accessible.
Procedure
Get the names of the
Subscription
andClusterServiceVersion
objects from the namespace where the Operator is installed:$ oc get sub,csv -n <namespace>
Example output
NAME PACKAGE SOURCE CHANNEL subscription.operators.coreos.com/elasticsearch-operator elasticsearch-operator redhat-operators 5.0 NAME DISPLAY VERSION REPLACES PHASE clusterserviceversion.operators.coreos.com/elasticsearch-operator.5.0.0-65 OpenShift Elasticsearch Operator 5.0.0-65 Succeeded
Delete the subscription:
$ oc delete subscription <subscription_name> -n <namespace>
Delete the cluster service version:
$ oc delete csv <csv_name> -n <namespace>
Get the names of any failing jobs and related config maps in the
openshift-marketplace
namespace:$ oc get job,configmap -n openshift-marketplace
Example output
NAME COMPLETIONS DURATION AGE job.batch/1de9443b6324e629ddf31fed0a853a121275806170e34c926d69e53a7fcbccb 1/1 26s 9m30s NAME DATA AGE configmap/1de9443b6324e629ddf31fed0a853a121275806170e34c926d69e53a7fcbccb 3 9m30s
Delete the job:
$ oc delete job <job_name> -n openshift-marketplace
This ensures pods that try to pull the inaccessible image are not recreated.
Delete the config map:
$ oc delete configmap <configmap_name> -n openshift-marketplace
- Reinstall the Operator using OperatorHub in the web console.
Verification
Check that the Operator has been reinstalled successfully:
$ oc get sub,csv,installplan -n <namespace>
10.5. Deleting OpenShift Serverless custom resource definitions
After uninstalling the OpenShift Serverless, the Operator and API custom resource definitions (CRDs) remain on the cluster. You can use the following procedure to remove the remaining CRDs.
Removing the Operator and API CRDs also removes all resources that were defined by using them, including Knative services.
10.5.1. Removing OpenShift Serverless Operator and API CRDs
Delete the Operator and API CRDs using the following procedure.
Prerequisites
-
Install the OpenShift CLI (
oc
). - You have access to an OpenShift Container Platform account with cluster administrator access.
- You have uninstalled Knative Serving and removed the OpenShift Serverless Operator.
Procedure
To delete the remaining OpenShift Serverless CRDs, enter the following command:
$ oc get crd -oname | grep 'knative.dev' | xargs oc delete
