Red Hat Summit10.8. Disabling the control plane machine set
Disable the control plane machine set if you need to manually manage control plane machines or troubleshoot Operator behavior.
The .spec.state field in an activated ControlPlaneMachineSet custom resource (CR) cannot be changed from Active to Inactive. To disable the control plane machine set, you must delete the CR so that it is removed from the cluster.
When you delete the CR, the Control Plane Machine Set Operator performs cleanup operations and disables the control plane machine set. The Operator then removes the CR from the cluster and creates an inactive control plane machine set with default settings.
10.8.1. Deleting the control plane machine set
To stop managing control plane machines with the control plane machine set on your cluster, you must delete the ControlPlaneMachineSet custom resource (CR).
Procedure
Delete the control plane machine set CR by running the following command:
$ oc delete controlplanemachineset.machine.openshift.io cluster \ -n openshift-machine-api
Verification
-
Check the control plane machine set custom resource state. A result of
Inactiveindicates that the removal and replacement process is successful. AControlPlaneMachineSetCR exists but is not activated.
