2.4. Migrating your applications

You can migrate your applications by using the Migration Toolkit for Containers (MTC) web console or on the command line.

2.4.1. Prerequisites
复制链接

The Migration Toolkit for Containers (MTC) has the following prerequisites:

  • You must be logged in as a user with cluster-admin privileges on all clusters.
  • The MTC version must be the same on all clusters.

  • Clusters:

    • The source cluster must be upgraded to the latest MTC z-stream release.
    • The cluster on which the migration-controller pod is running must have unrestricted network access to the other clusters.
    • The clusters must have unrestricted network access to each other.
    • The clusters must have unrestricted network access to the replication repository.
    • The clusters must be able to communicate using OpenShift routes on port 443.
    • The clusters must have no critical conditions.
    • The clusters must be in a ready state.

  • Volume migration:

    • The persistent volumes (PVs) must be valid.
    • The PVs must be bound to persistent volume claims.
    • If you copy the PVs by using the move method, the clusters must have unrestricted network access to the remote volume.

    • If you copy the PVs by using the snapshot copy method, the following prerequisites apply:

      • The cloud provider must support snapshots.
      • The volumes must have the same cloud provider.
      • The volumes must be located in the same geographic region.
      • The volumes must have the same storage class.
  • If you perform a direct volume migration in a proxy environment, you must configure an Stunnel TCP proxy.
  • If you perform a direct image migration, you must expose the internal registry of the source cluster to external traffic.

2.4.1.1. Creating a CA certificate bundle file
复制链接

If you use a self-signed certificate to secure a cluster or a replication repository for the Migration Toolkit for Containers (MTC), certificate verification might fail with the following error message: Certificate signed by unknown authority.

You can create a custom CA certificate bundle file and upload it in the MTC web console when you add a cluster or a replication repository.

Procedure

Download a CA certificate from a remote endpoint and save it as a CA bundle file: 

$ echo -n | openssl s_client -connect <host_FQDN>:<port> \
1 

  | sed -ne '/-BEGIN CERTIFICATE-/,/-END CERTIFICATE-/p' > <ca_bundle.cert>
2
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
1
Specify the host FQDN and port of the endpoint, for example, api.my-cluster.example.com:6443.
2
Specify the name of the CA bundle file.

2.4.1.2. Configuring a proxy for direct volume migration
复制链接

If you are performing direct volume migration from a source cluster behind a proxy, you must configure an Stunnel proxy in the MigrationController custom resource (CR). Stunnel creates a transparent tunnel between the source and target clusters for the TCP connection without changing the certificates.

注意

Direct volume migration supports only one proxy. The source cluster cannot access the route of the target cluster if the target cluster is also behind a proxy.

Prerequisites

  • You must be logged in as a user with cluster-admin privileges on all clusters.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the cluster on which the MigrationController pod runs.

  2. Get the MigrationController CR manifest: 

    $ oc get migrationcontroller <migration_controller> -n openshift-migration
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  3. Add the stunnel_tcp_proxy parameter: 

    apiVersion: migration.openshift.io/v1alpha1
kind: MigrationController
metadata:
  name: migration-controller
  namespace: openshift-migration
...
spec:
  stunnel_tcp_proxy: <stunnel_proxy>
    1
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    1
    Specify the Stunnel proxy: http://<user_name>:<password>@<ip_address>:<port>.
  4. Save the manifest as migration-controller.yaml.

  5. Apply the updated manifest: 

    $ oc replace -f migration-controller.yaml -n openshift-migration
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

2.4.1.3. Writing an Ansible playbook for a migration hook
复制链接

You can write an Ansible playbook to use as a migration hook. The hook is added to a migration plan by using the MTC web console or by specifying values for the spec.hooks parameters in the MigPlan custom resource (CR) manifest.

The Ansible playbook is mounted onto a hook container as a config map. The hook container runs as a job, using the cluster, service account, and namespace specified in the MigPlan CR. The hook container uses a specified service account token so that the tasks do not require authentication before they run in the cluster.

2.4.1.3.1. Ansible modules
复制链接

You can use the Ansible shell module to run oc commands.

Example shell module

- hosts: localhost
  gather_facts: false
  tasks:
  - name: get pod name
    shell: oc get po --all-namespaces
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

You can use kubernetes.core modules, such as k8s_info, to interact with Kubernetes resources.

Example k8s_facts module

- hosts: localhost
  gather_facts: false
  tasks:
  - name: Get pod
    k8s_info:
      kind: pods
      api: v1
      namespace: openshift-migration
      name: "{{ lookup( 'env', 'HOSTNAME') }}"
    register: pods

  - name: Print pod name
    debug:
      msg: "{{ pods.resources[0].metadata.name }}"
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

You can use the fail module to produce a non-zero exit status in cases where a non-zero exit status would not normally be produced, ensuring that the success or failure of a hook is detected. Hooks run as jobs and the success or failure status of a hook is based on the exit status of the job container.

Example fail module

- hosts: localhost
  gather_facts: false
  tasks:
  - name: Set a boolean
    set_fact:
      do_fail: true

  - name: "fail"
    fail:
      msg: "Cause a failure"
    when: do_fail
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

2.4.1.3.2. Environment variables
复制链接

The MigPlan CR name and migration namespaces are passed as environment variables to the hook container. These variables are accessed by using the lookup plug-in.

Example environment variables

- hosts: localhost
  gather_facts: false
  tasks:
  - set_fact:
      namespaces: "{{ (lookup( 'env', 'migration_namespaces')).split(',') }}"

  - debug:
      msg: "{{ item }}"
    with_items: "{{ namespaces }}"

  - debug:
      msg: "{{ lookup( 'env', 'migplan_name') }}"

2.4.1.4. Additional resources
复制链接

You can configure clusters and a replication repository by using the MTC web console. Then, you can create and run a migration plan.

2.4.2.1. Launching the MTC web console
复制链接

You can launch the Migration Toolkit for Containers (MTC) web console in a browser.

Prerequisites

  • The MTC web console must have network access to the OpenShift Container Platform web console.
  • The MTC web console must have network access to the OAuth authorization server.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the OpenShift Container Platform cluster on which you have installed MTC.

  2. Obtain the MTC web console URL by entering the following command:

    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

    The output resembles the following: https://migration-openshift-migration.apps.cluster.openshift.com.

  3. Launch a browser and navigate to the MTC web console.

    注意

    If you try to access the MTC web console immediately after installing the Migration Toolkit for Containers Operator, the console might not load because the Operator is still configuring the cluster. Wait a few minutes and retry.

  4. If you are using self-signed CA certificates, you will be prompted to accept the CA certificate of the source cluster API server. The web page guides you through the process of accepting the remaining certificates.
  5. Log in with your OpenShift Container Platform username and password.

You can add a cluster to the Migration Toolkit for Containers (MTC) web console.

Prerequisites

  • If you are using Azure snapshots to copy data:

    • You must specify the Azure resource group name for the cluster.
    • The clusters must be in the same Azure resource group.
    • The clusters must be in the same geographic location.

      • S3 bucket name: Specify the name of the S3 bucket you created.
      • S3 bucket region: Specify the S3 bucket region. Required for AWS S3. Optional for other S3 providers.
      • S3 endpoint: Specify the URL of the S3 service, not the bucket, for example, https://<s3-storage.apps.cluster.com>. Required for a generic S3 provider. You must use the https:// prefix.
      • S3 provider access key: Specify the <AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY> for AWS or the S3 provider access key for MCG.
      • S3 provider secret access key: Specify the <AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID> for AWS or the S3 provider secret access key for MCG.
      • Require SSL verification: Clear this check box if you are using a generic S3 provider.
      • If you use a custom CA bundle, click Browse and browse to the Base64-encoded CA bundle file.

    • GCP:

2.4.2.4. Creating a migration plan in the MTC web console
复制链接

You can create a migration plan in the Migration Toolkit for Containers (MTC) web console.

Prerequisites

  • You must be logged in as a user with cluster-admin privileges on all clusters.
  • You must ensure that the same MTC version is installed on all clusters.
  • You must add the clusters and the replication repository to the MTC web console.
  • If you want to use the move data copy method to migrate a persistent volume (PV), the source and target clusters must have uninterrupted network access to the remote volume.
  • If you want to use direct image migration, the MigCluster custom resource manifest of the source cluster must specify the exposed route of the internal image registry.

Procedure

  1. In the MTC web console, click Migration plans.
  2. Click Add migration plan.

  3. Enter the Plan name and click Next.

    The migration plan name must not exceed 253 lower-case alphanumeric characters (a-z, 0-9) and must not contain spaces or underscores (_).

  4. Select a Source cluster.
  5. Select a Target cluster.
  6. Select a Replication repository.
  7. Select the projects to be migrated and click Next.
  8. Select a Source cluster, a Target cluster, and a Repository, and click Next.
  9. On the Namespaces page, select the projects to be migrated and click Next.

  10. On the Persistent volumes page, click a Migration type for each PV:

    • The Copy option copies the data from the PV of a source cluster to the replication repository and then restores the data on a newly created PV, with similar characteristics, in the target cluster.
    • The Move option unmounts a remote volume, for example, NFS, from the source cluster, creates a PV resource on the target cluster pointing to the remote volume, and then mounts the remote volume on the target cluster. Applications running on the target cluster use the same remote volume that the source cluster was using.
  11. Click Next.

  12. On the Copy options page, select a Copy method for each PV:

    • Snapshot copy backs up and restores data using the cloud provider’s snapshot functionality. It is significantly faster than Filesystem copy.

    • Filesystem copy backs up the files on the source cluster and restores them on the target cluster.

      The file system copy method is required for direct volume migration.

  13. You can select Verify copy to verify data migrated with Filesystem copy. Data is verified by generating a checksum for each source file and checking the checksum after restoration. Data verification significantly reduces performance.

  14. Select a Target storage class.

    If you selected Filesystem copy, you can change the target storage class.

  15. Click Next.

  16. On the Migration options page, the Direct image migration option is selected if you specified an exposed image registry route for the source cluster. The Direct PV migration option is selected if you are migrating data with Filesystem copy.

    The direct migration options copy images and files directly from the source cluster to the target cluster. This option is much faster than copying images and files from the source cluster to the replication repository and then from the replication repository to the target cluster.

  17. Click Next.

  18. Optional: On the Hooks page, click Add Hook to add a hook to the migration plan.

    A hook runs custom code. You can add up to four hooks to a single migration plan. Each hook runs during a different migration step.

    1. Enter the name of the hook to display in the web console.
    2. If the hook is an Ansible playbook, select Ansible playbook and click Browse to upload the playbook or paste the contents of the playbook in the field.
    3. Optional: Specify an Ansible runtime image if you are not using the default hook image.

    4. If the hook is not an Ansible playbook, select Custom container image and specify the image name and path.

      A custom container image can include Ansible playbooks.

    5. Select Source cluster or Target cluster.
    6. Enter the Service account name and the Service account namespace.

    7. Select the migration step for the hook:

      • preBackup: Before the application workload is backed up on the source cluster
      • postBackup: After the application workload is backed up on the source cluster
      • preRestore: Before the application workload is restored on the target cluster
      • postRestore: After the application workload is restored on the target cluster
    8. Click Add.

  19. Click Finish.

    The migration plan is displayed in the Migration plans list.

2.4.2.5. Running a migration plan in the MTC web console
复制链接

You can stage or migrate applications and data with the migration plan you created in the Migration Toolkit for Containers (MTC) web console.

注意

During migration, MTC sets the reclaim policy of migrated persistent volumes (PVs) to Retain on the target cluster.

The Backup custom resource contains a PVOriginalReclaimPolicy annotation that indicates the original reclaim policy. You can manually restore the reclaim policy of the migrated PVs.

Prerequisites

The MTC web console must contain the following:

  • Source cluster in a Ready state
  • Target cluster in a Ready state
  • Replication repository
  • Valid migration plan

Procedure

  1. Log in to the source cluster.

  2. Delete old images: 

    $ oc adm prune images
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  3. Log in to the MTC web console and click Migration plans.

  4. Click the Options menu kebab next to a migration plan and select Stage to copy data from the source cluster to the target cluster without stopping the application.

    You can run Stage multiple times to reduce the actual migration time.

  5. When you are ready to migrate the application workload, the Options menu kebab beside a migration plan and select Migrate.
  6. Optional: In the Migrate window, you can select Do not stop applications on the source cluster during migration.
  7. Click Migrate.

  8. When the migration is complete, verify that the application migrated successfully in the OpenShift Container Platform web console:

    1. Click Home Projects.
    2. Click the migrated project to view its status.
    3. In the Routes section, click Location to verify that the application is functioning, if applicable.
    4. Click Workloads Pods to verify that the pods are running in the migrated namespace.
    5. Click Storage Persistent volumes to verify that the migrated persistent volume is correctly provisioned.

2.4.3. Migrating your applications from the command line
复制链接

You can migrate your applications on the command line by using the MTC custom resources (CRs).

You can migrate applications from a local cluster to a remote cluster, from a remote cluster to a local cluster, and between remote clusters.

MTC terminology

The following terms are relevant for configuring clusters:

  • host cluster:

    • The migration-controller pod runs on the host cluster.
    • A host cluster does not require an exposed secure registry route for direct image migration.
  • Local cluster: The local cluster is often the same as the host cluster but this is not a requirement.

  • Remote cluster:

    • A remote cluster must have an exposed secure registry route for direct image migration.
    • A remote cluster must have a Secret CR containing the migration-controller service account token.

The following terms are relevant for performing a migration:

  • Source cluster: Cluster from which the applications are migrated.
  • Destination cluster: Cluster to which the applications are migrated.

You can migrate your applications on the command line with the Migration Toolkit for Containers (MTC) API.

You can migrate applications from a local cluster to a remote cluster, from a remote cluster to a local cluster, and between remote clusters.

This procedure describes how to perform indirect migration and direct migration:

  • Indirect migration: Images, volumes, and Kubernetes objects are copied from the source cluster to the replication repository and then from the replication repository to the destination cluster.
  • Direct migration: Images or volumes are copied directly from the source cluster to the destination cluster. Direct image migration and direct volume migration have significant performance benefits.

You create the following custom resources (CRs) to perform a migration:

  • MigCluster CR: Defines a host, local, or remote cluster

    The migration-controller pod runs on the host cluster.

  • Secret CR: Contains credentials for a remote cluster or storage

  • MigStorage CR: Defines a replication repository

    Different storage providers require different parameters in the MigStorage CR manifest.

  • MigPlan CR: Defines a migration plan

  • MigMigration CR: Performs a migration defined in an associated MigPlan

    You can create multiple MigMigration CRs for a single MigPlan CR for the following purposes:

  • To perform stage migrations, which copy most of the data without stopping the application, before running a migration. Stage migrations improve the performance of the migration.
  • To cancel a migration in progress
  • To roll back a completed migration

Prerequisites

  • You must have cluster-admin privileges for all clusters.
  • You must install the OpenShift Container Platform CLI (oc).
  • You must install the Migration Toolkit for Containers Operator on all clusters.
  • The version of the installed Migration Toolkit for Containers Operator must be the same on all clusters.
  • You must configure an object storage as a replication repository.
  • If you are using direct image migration, you must expose a secure registry route on all remote clusters.
  • If you are using direct volume migration, the source cluster must not have an HTTP proxy configured.

2.4.4. Additional resources
复制链接

2.4.5. Configuring a migration plan
复制链接

You can increase the number of objects to be migrated or exclude resources from the migration.

2.4.5.1. Increasing limits for large migrations
复制链接

You can increase the limits on migration objects and container resources for large migrations with the Migration Toolkit for Containers (MTC).

重要

You must test these changes before you perform a migration in a production environment.

Procedure

  1. Edit the MigrationController custom resource (CR) manifest: 

    $ oc edit migrationcontroller -n openshift-migration
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  2. Update the following parameters: 

    ...
mig_controller_limits_cpu: "1"
    1 
    
mig_controller_limits_memory: "10Gi"
    2 
    
...
mig_controller_requests_cpu: "100m"
    3 
    
mig_controller_requests_memory: "350Mi"
    4 
    
...
mig_pv_limit: 100
    5 
    
mig_pod_limit: 100
    6 
    
mig_namespace_limit: 10
    7 
    
...
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    1
    Specifies the number of CPUs available to the MigrationController CR.
    2
    Specifies the amount of memory available to the MigrationController CR.
    3
    Specifies the number of CPU units available for MigrationController CR requests. 100m represents 0.1 CPU units (100 * 1e-3).
    4
    Specifies the amount of memory available for MigrationController CR requests.
    5
    Specifies the number of persistent volumes that can be migrated.
    6
    Specifies the number of pods that can be migrated.
    7
    Specifies the number of namespaces that can be migrated.

  3. Create a migration plan that uses the updated parameters to verify the changes.

    If your migration plan exceeds the MigrationController CR limits, the MTC console displays a warning message when you save the migration plan.

2.4.5.2. Excluding resources from a migration plan
复制链接

You can exclude resources, for example, image streams, persistent volumes (PVs), or subscriptions, from a Migration Toolkit for Containers (MTC) migration plan in order to reduce the resource load for migration or to migrate images or PVs with a different tool.

By default, the MTC excludes service catalog resources and Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM) resources from migration. These resources are parts of the service catalog API group and the OLM API group, neither of which is supported for migration at this time.

Procedure

  1. Edit the MigrationController custom resource manifest: 

    $ oc edit migrationcontroller <migration_controller> -n openshift-migration
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  2. Update the spec section by adding a parameter to exclude specific resources or by adding a resource to the excluded_resources parameter if it does not have its own exclusion parameter: 

    apiVersion: migration.openshift.io/v1alpha1
kind: MigrationController
metadata:
  name: migration-controller
  namespace: openshift-migration
spec:
  disable_image_migration: true
    1 
    
  disable_pv_migration: true
    2 
    
  ...
  excluded_resources:
    3 
    
  - imagetags
  - templateinstances
  - clusterserviceversions
  - packagemanifests
  - subscriptions
  - servicebrokers
  - servicebindings
  - serviceclasses
  - serviceinstances
  - serviceplans
  - operatorgroups
  - events
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    1
    Add disable_image_migration: true to exclude image streams from the migration. Do not edit the excluded_resources parameter. imagestreams is added to excluded_resources when the MigrationController pod restarts.
    2
    Add disable_pv_migration: true to exclude PVs from the migration plan. Do not edit the excluded_resources parameter. persistentvolumes and persistentvolumeclaims are added to excluded_resources when the MigrationController pod restarts. Disabling PV migration also disables PV discovery when you create the migration plan.
    3
    You can add OpenShift Container Platform resources to the excluded_resources list. Do not delete the default excluded resources. These resources are problematic to migrate and must be excluded.
  3. Wait two minutes for the MigrationController pod to restart so that the changes are applied.

  4. Verify that the resource is excluded: 

    $ oc get deployment -n openshift-migration migration-controller -o yaml | grep EXCLUDED_RESOURCES -A1
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

    The output contains the excluded resources:

    Example output

        - name: EXCLUDED_RESOURCES
      value:
