   This activity may take at least 5-10 minutes. Ceph errors generated during this period are temporary and are automatically resolved when the new node is labeled and functional.

7. Click Compute → Nodes, confirm if the new node is in Ready state.

8. Apply the OpenShift Container Storage label to the new node using any one of the following:

   From the web user interface

   1. For the new node, click Action Menu (⋮) → Edit Labels
   2. Add cluster.ocs.openshift.io/openshift-storage and click Save.

   From the command line interface

   • Execute the following command to apply the OpenShift Container Storage label to the new node:

     $ oc label node <new_node_name> cluster.ocs.openshift.io/openshift-storage=""

     Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

9. Execute the following command and verify that the new node is present in the output:

   $ oc get nodes --show-labels | grep cluster.ocs.openshift.io/openshift-storage= | cut -d' ' -f1

   Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

10. Click Workloads → Pods, confirm that at least the following pods on the new node are in Running state:

    • csi-rbdplugin-*
11. Verify that all other required OpenShift Container Storage pods are in Running state.

12. Verify that new OSD pods are running on the replacement node.

    $ oc get pods -o wide -n openshift-storage| egrep -i new-node-name | egrep osd

    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

13. (Optional) If data encryption is enabled on the cluster, verify that the new OSD devices are encrypted.

    For each of the new nodes identified in previous step, do the following:

    1. Create a debug pod and open a chroot environment for the selected host(s).

       $ oc debug node/<node name>
       $ chroot /host

       Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

    2. Run “lsblk” and check for the “crypt” keyword beside the ocs-deviceset name(s)

       $ lsblk
