Chapter 24. Validating an installation


You can check the status of an OpenShift Container Platform cluster after an installation by following the procedures in this document.

24.1. Reviewing the installation log

You can review a summary of an installation in the OpenShift Container Platform installation log. If an installation succeeds, the information required to access the cluster is included in the log.

Prerequisites

  • You have access to the installation host.

Procedure

  • Review the .openshift_install.log log file in the installation directory on your installation host:

    $ cat <install_dir>/.openshift_install.log

    Example output

    Cluster credentials are included at the end of the log if the installation is successful, as outlined in the following example:

    ...
    time="2020-12-03T09:50:47Z" level=info msg="Install complete!"
    time="2020-12-03T09:50:47Z" level=info msg="To access the cluster as the system:admin user when using 'oc', run 'export KUBECONFIG=/home/myuser/install_dir/auth/kubeconfig'"
    time="2020-12-03T09:50:47Z" level=info msg="Access the OpenShift web-console here: https://console-openshift-console.apps.mycluster.example.com"
    time="2020-12-03T09:50:47Z" level=info msg="Login to the console with user: \"kubeadmin\", and password: \"password\""
    time="2020-12-03T09:50:47Z" level=debug msg="Time elapsed per stage:"
    time="2020-12-03T09:50:47Z" level=debug msg="    Infrastructure: 6m45s"
    time="2020-12-03T09:50:47Z" level=debug msg="Bootstrap Complete: 11m30s"
    time="2020-12-03T09:50:47Z" level=debug msg=" Bootstrap Destroy: 1m5s"
    time="2020-12-03T09:50:47Z" level=debug msg=" Cluster Operators: 17m31s"
    time="2020-12-03T09:50:47Z" level=info msg="Time elapsed: 37m26s"

24.2. Viewing the image pull source

For clusters with unrestricted network connectivity, you can view the source of your pulled images by using a command on a node, such as crictl images.

However, for disconnected installations, to view the source of pulled images, you must review the CRI-O logs to locate the Trying to access log entry, as shown in the following procedure. Other methods to view the image pull source, such as the crictl images command, show the non-mirrored image name, even though the image is pulled from the mirrored location.

Prerequisites

  • You have access to the cluster as a user with the cluster-admin role.

Procedure

  • Review the CRI-O logs for a master or worker node:

    $  oc adm node-logs <node_name> -u crio

    Example output

    The Trying to access log entry indicates where the image is being pulled from.

    ...
    Mar 17 02:52:50 ip-10-0-138-140.ec2.internal crio[1366]: time="2021-08-05 10:33:21.594930907Z" level=info msg="Pulling image: quay.io/openshift-release-dev/ocp-release:4.10.0-ppc64le" id=abcd713b-d0e1-4844-ac1c-474c5b60c07c name=/runtime.v1alpha2.ImageService/PullImage
    Mar 17 02:52:50 ip-10-0-138-140.ec2.internal crio[1484]: time="2021-03-17 02:52:50.194341109Z" level=info msg="Trying to access \"li0317gcp1.mirror-registry.qe.gcp.devcluster.openshift.com:5000/ocp/release@sha256:1926eae7cacb9c00f142ec98b00628970e974284b6ddaf9a6a086cb9af7a6c31\""
    Mar 17 02:52:50 ip-10-0-138-140.ec2.internal crio[1484]: time="2021-03-17 02:52:50.226788351Z" level=info msg="Trying to access \"li0317gcp1.mirror-registry.qe.gcp.devcluster.openshift.com:5000/ocp/release@sha256:1926eae7cacb9c00f142ec98b00628970e974284b6ddaf9a6a086cb9af7a6c31\""
    ...

    The log might show the image pull source twice, as shown in the preceding example.

    If your ImageContentSourcePolicy object lists multiple mirrors, OpenShift Container Platform attempts to pull the images in the order listed in the configuration, for example:

    Trying to access \"li0317gcp1.mirror-registry.qe.gcp.devcluster.openshift.com:5000/ocp/release@sha256:1926eae7cacb9c00f142ec98b00628970e974284b6ddaf9a6a086cb9af7a6c31\"
    Trying to access \"li0317gcp2.mirror-registry.qe.gcp.devcluster.openshift.com:5000/ocp/release@sha256:1926eae7cacb9c00f142ec98b00628970e974284b6ddaf9a6a086cb9af7a6c31\"

24.3. Getting cluster version, status, and update details

You can view the cluster version and status by running the oc get clusterversion command. If the status shows that the installation is still progressing, you can review the status of the Operators for more information.

You can also list the current update channel and review the available cluster updates.

Prerequisites

  • You have access to the cluster as a user with the cluster-admin role.
  • You have installed the OpenShift CLI (oc).

Procedure

  1. Obtain the cluster version and overall status:

    $ oc get clusterversion

    Example output

    NAME      VERSION   AVAILABLE   PROGRESSING   SINCE   STATUS
    version   4.6.4     True        False         6m25s   Cluster version is 4.6.4

    The example output indicates that the cluster has been installed successfully.

  2. If the cluster status indicates that the installation is still progressing, you can obtain more detailed progress information by checking the status of the Operators:

    $ oc get clusteroperators.config.openshift.io
  3. View a detailed summary of cluster specifications, update availability, and update history:

    $ oc describe clusterversion
  4. List the current update channel:

    $ oc get clusterversion -o jsonpath='{.items[0].spec}{"\n"}'

    Example output

    {"channel":"stable-4.6","clusterID":"245539c1-72a3-41aa-9cec-72ed8cf25c5c"}

  5. Review the available cluster updates:

    $ oc adm upgrade

    Example output

    Cluster version is 4.6.4
    
    Updates:
    
    VERSION IMAGE
    4.6.6   quay.io/openshift-release-dev/ocp-release@sha256:c7e8f18e8116356701bd23ae3a23fb9892dd5ea66c8300662ef30563d7104f39

24.4. Querying the status of the cluster nodes by using the CLI

You can verify the status of the cluster nodes after an installation.

Prerequisites

  • You have access to the cluster as a user with the cluster-admin role.
  • You have installed the OpenShift CLI (oc).

Procedure

  1. List the status of the cluster nodes. Verify that the output lists all of the expected control plane and compute nodes and that each node has a Ready status:

    $ oc get nodes

    Example output

    NAME                          STATUS   ROLES    AGE   VERSION
    compute-1.example.com         Ready    worker   33m   v1.23.0
    control-plane-1.example.com   Ready    master   41m   v1.23.0
    control-plane-2.example.com   Ready    master   45m   v1.23.0
    compute-2.example.com         Ready    worker   38m   v1.23.0
    compute-3.example.com         Ready    worker   33m   v1.23.0
    control-plane-3.example.com   Ready    master   41m   v1.23.0

  2. Review CPU and memory resource availability for each cluster node:

    $ oc adm top nodes

    Example output

    NAME                          CPU(cores)   CPU%   MEMORY(bytes)   MEMORY%
    compute-1.example.com         128m         8%     1132Mi          16%
    control-plane-1.example.com   801m         22%    3471Mi          23%
    control-plane-2.example.com   1718m        49%    6085Mi          40%
    compute-2.example.com         935m         62%    5178Mi          75%
    compute-3.example.com         111m         7%     1131Mi          16%
    control-plane-3.example.com   942m         26%    4100Mi          27%
