+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of
Bug #2070318
+++

Description of problem:
In OCP VRRP deployment (using OCP cluster networking), we have an additional data interface which is configured along with the regular management interface in each control node. In some deployments, the kubernetes address 172.30.0.1:443 is nat’ed to the data management interface instead of the mgmt interface (10.40.1.4:6443 vs 10.30.1.4:6443 as we configure the boostrap node) even though the default route is set to 10.30.1.0 network. Because of that, all requests to 172.30.0.1:443 were failed. After 10-15 minutes, OCP magically fixes it and nat’ing correctly to 10.30.1.4:6443.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:

1.Provision OCP cluster using cluster networking for DNS & Load Balancer instead of external DNS & Load Balancer. Provision the host with 1 management interface and an additional interface for data network. Along with OCP manifest, add manifest to create a pod which will trigger communication with kube-apiserver.

2.Start cluster installation.

3.Check on the custom pod log in the cluster when the first 2 master nodes were installing to see GET operation to kube-apiserver timed out. Check nft table and chase the ip chains to see the that the data IP address was nat'ed to kubernetes service IP address instead of the management IP. This is not happening all the time, we have seen 50:50 chance.

Actual results:
After 10-15 minutes OCP will correct that by itself.

Expected results:
Wrong natting should not happen.

This is not managed by runtimecfg, but in order to route the bug correctly I need to know which CNI plugin you're using - OpenShiftSDN or OVNKubernetes. Thanks.

Hi Ben,

We were deploying Contrail CNI with OCP. However, this issue happens at very early deployment time, right after the bootstrap node is started
and there's no SDN/CNI there yet.

Can you please provide the iptables rules causing the DNAT as well as the routes on the host? Might be easiest to get a sosreport during initial bring up during that 10-15 min when the problem occurs.

All nodes have two interfaces:

eth0: 10.30.1.0/24
eth1: 10.40.1.0/24

machineNetwork is 10.30.1.0/24
default route points to 10.30.1.1

The kubeapi service ip is 172.30.0.1:443

all Kubernetes services are supposed to be reachable via machineNetwork (10.30.1.0/24)

To make the kubeapi service ip reachable in hostnetwork, something (openshift installer?) creates a set of nat rules which translates the service ip to the real ip of the nodes which have kubeapi active.

Initially kubeapi is only active on the bootstrap node so there should be a nat rule like

172.30.0.1:443 -> 10.30.1.10:6443 (assuming that 10.30.1.10 is the bootstrap nodes' ip address in the machine network)

However, what we see is
172.30.0.1:443 -> 10.40.1.10:6443 (which is the bootstrap nodes' eth1 ip address)

The rule is configured on the controller nodes and lead to asymmetrical routing as the controller sends a packet FROM machineNetwork (10.30.1.x) to 172.30.0.1 which is then translated and forwarded to 10.40.1.10 which then tries to reply back on the 10.40.1.0 network which fails as the request came from 10.30.1.0 network.

So, we want to understand why openshift installer picks the 10.40.1.x ip address rather than the 10.30.1.x ip for the nat rule. What's the mechanism for getting the ip in case the system has multiple interfaces with ips configured.

Note: after a while (10-20 minutes) the bootstrap process resets itself and then it picks the correct ip address from the machineNetwork and things start to work.

Looking at the must-gather I think your iptables rules are most likely coming from the fact that kube-proxy is installed:

[trozet@fedora must-gather.local.288458111102725709]$ omg get pods -n openshift-kube-proxy
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
openshift-kube-proxy-kmm2p 2/2 Running 0 19h
openshift-kube-proxy-m2dz7 2/2 Running 0 16h
openshift-kube-proxy-s9p9g 2/2 Running 1 19h
openshift-kube-proxy-skrcv 2/2 Running 0 19h
openshift-kube-proxy-z4kjj 2/2 Running 0 19h

I'm not sure why this is installed. Is it intentional? I don't see the configuration in CNO to enable kube-proxy. Anyway the node IP detection is done via:
https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/f173d01c011c3574dea73a6fa3e20b0ab94531bb/cmd/kube-proxy/app/server.go#L844
Which just looks at the IP of the node. During bare metal install a VIP is chosen and used with keepalived for kubelet to have kapi access. I don't think there is any NAT rule for services until CNO comes up. So I suspect what really is happening is your node IP is changing during install, and kube-proxy is getting deployed (either intentionally or unintentionally) and that is causing the behavior you see. The node IP is chosen via the node ip configuration service:
https://github.com/openshift/machine-config-operator/blob/da6494c26c643826f44fbc005f26e0dfd10513ae/templates/common/_base/units/nodeip-configuration.service.yaml
This service will determine the node ip via which interfaces have a default route and which one has the lowest metric. With your 2 interfaces, do they both have default routes? If so, are they using dhcp and perhaps its random which route gets installed with a lower metric?

trozet@redhat.com
on 2022-04-21 21:13:15 UTC —

Correction: looks like standalone kube-proxy is installed by default when the provider is not SDN, OVN, or kuryr so this looks like the correct default behavior for kube-proxy to be deployed.

— Additional comment from
lpbinh@gmail.com
on 2022-04-25 04:05:14 UTC —

Hi Tim,

You are right, kube-proxy is deployed by default and we don't change that behavior.

There is only 1 default route configured for the management interface (10.30.1.x) , we used to have a default route for the data/vrrp interface (10.40.1.x) with higher metric before. As said, we don't have the default route for the second interface any more but still encounter the issue pretty often.

— Additional comment from
trozet@redhat.com
on 2022-04-25 14:24:05 UTC —

Binh, can you please provide a sosreport for one of the nodes that shows this behavior? Then we can try to figure out what is going on with the interfaces and the node ip service. Thanks.

— Additional comment from
trozet@redhat.com
on 2022-04-25 16:12:04 UTC —

Actually Ben reminded me that the invalid endpoint is actually the boostrap node itself:
172.30.0.1:443 -> 10.30.1.10:6443 (assuming that 10.30.1.10 is the bootstrap nodes' ip address in the machine network)

vs
172.30.0.1:443 -> 10.40.1.10:6443 (which is the bootstrap nodes' eth1 ip address)

So maybe a sosreport off that node is necessary? I'm not as familiar with the bare metal install process, moving back to Ben.

Hi Tim,

We observe this issue when deploying clusters using OpenStack instances as our infrastructure is based on OpenStack.

I followed the steps here to collect the sosreport:
https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.8/support/gathering-cluster-data.html
Got the sosreport which is 22MB which exceeds the size permitted (19MB), so I split it to 2 files (xaa and xab), if you can't join them then we will need to put the collected sosreport on a share drive like we did with the must-gather data.

Here are some notes about the cluster:

First two control nodes are below, ocp-binhle-8dvald-ctrl-3 is the bootstrap node.

[core@ocp-binhle-8dvald-ctrl-2 ~]$ oc get node
NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION
ocp-binhle-8dvald-ctrl-1 Ready master 14m v1.21.8+ed4d8fd
ocp-binhle-8dvald-ctrl-2 Ready master 22m v1.21.8+ed4d8fd

We see the behavior that wrong nat'ing was done at the beginning, then corrected later:

This issue is causing delays in Juniper's CI/CD pipeline and makes for a less than ideal user experience for deployments.

I'm getting a lot of pressure from the partner on this for an update and progress. I've had them open a case [1] to help progress.

Please let us know if there is any other data needed by Juniper or if there is anything I can do to help move this forward.

I'm currently discussing this with some other internal teams because I'm unfamiliar with this type of bootstrap setup. I need to understand what the intended behavior is before we decide on a path forward.

Here is the cluster ID, copied from the bug description:
ClusterID: 24bbde0b-79b3-4ae6-afc5-cb694fa48895

In regard to your earlier question about OpenStack & baremetal (2022-06-03 18:15:17 UTC):

We had an issue with platform validation in OpenStack earlier. Host validation was failing with the error message “Platform network settings: Platform OpenStack Compute is allowed only for Single Node OpenShift or user-managed networking.”

It's found out that there is no platform type "OpenStack" available in [
https://github.com/openshift/assisted-service/blob/master/models/platform_type.go#L29
] so we set "baremetal" as the platform type on our computes. That's the reason why you are seeing baremetal as the platform type.

Thank you

Hey, first you are currect, When you set 10.30.1.0/24 as the machine network, the bootstrap process should use the IP on that subnet in the bootstrap node.

I'm trying to understand how exactly this cluster was installed.
You are using on-prem deployment of assisted-installer (podman/ACM)?
You are trying to form a cluster from OpenStack Vms?
You set the platform to Baremetal where?
Did you set user-managed-netwroking?

Some more info, when using OpenStack platform you should install the cluster with user-managed-netwroking.
And that's what the failing validation is for.

You are using on-prem deployment of assisted-installer (podman/ACM)?
--> Yes, we are using on-prem deployment of assisted-installer.

You are trying to form a cluster from OpenStack Vms?
--> Yes.

You set the platform to Baremetal where?
--> It was set in the Cluster object, Platform field when we model the cluster.

Did you set user-managed-netwroking?

on 2022-06-09 08:23:18 UTC —

OK, as noted before when using OpenStack platform you should install the cluster with user-managed-netwroking (set to true).
Can you explain how you workaround this failing validation? “Platform network settings: Platform OpenStack Compute is allowed only for Single Node OpenShift or user-managed networking.”
What does this mean exactly? 'we set "baremetal" as the platform type on our computes'

To be honest I'm surprised that the installation was completed successfully.

@
oamizur@redhat.com
I thought installing on OpenStack VMs with baremetal platform (user-managed-networking=false) will always fail?

lpbinh@gmail.com
on 2022-06-10 16:04:56 UTC —

@
itsoiref@redhat.com
: I will reproduce and collect the logs. Is that supposed to be included in the provided must-gather?
@
ercohen@redhat.com
:

• user-managed-networking set to true when we use external Load Balancer and DNS server. For VRRP we use OpenShift's internal LB and DNS server hence it's set to false, following the doc.
• As explained OpenShift returns platform type as 'none' for OpenStack:
  https://github.com/openshift/assisted-service/blob/master/models/platform_type.go#L29
  , therefore we set the platformtype as 'baremetal' in the cluster object for provisioning the cluster using OpenStack VMs.

just for the protocol, we don't support baremetal ocp on openstack that's why validation is failing

as explained it's just a workaround on our side to make OCP work in our lab, and from my understanding on OCP perspective it will see that deployment is on baremetal only, not related to OpenStack (please correct me if I am wrong).

We have been doing thousands of OCP cluster deployments in our automation so far, if it's why validation is failing then it should be failing every time. However it only occurs occasionally when nodes have 2 interfaces, using OCP internal DNS and Load balancer, and sometime resolved by itself and sometime not.

For now i can assume that this endpoint is causing the issue:

The issue is that kube-api service advertise wrong ip but it does it cause kubelet chooses the one arbitrary and we currently have no mechanism to set kubelet ip, especially in bootstrap flow.

@
itsoiref@redhat.com
how do you perform OCP deployment in setups that have multiple interfaces if letting kubelet chooses an interface arbitrary instead of configuring a specific IP address for it to listen on? With what you describe above chance of deployment failure in system with multiple interfaces would be high.

I set the Customer Escalation flag = Yes, per ACE EN-52253.
The impact is noted by the RH Account team: "Juniper is pressing and this impacts the Unica Next Project at Telefónica Spain. Unica Next is a critical project for Red Hat. We go live the 1st of July and this issue could impact the go live dates. We need clear information about the status and its possible resolution.

I have sent an image with possible fix to Juniper and waiting for their feedback, once they will confirm it works for them we will proceed with the PRs.

//EMT note//

Update from our consultant Manuel Martinez Briceno -

====
on 28th June, 2022 the last feedback from Juniper Project Manager and our Partner Manager was that they are testing the fix. They didn't give an Estimate Time to finish, but we will be tracking this closely and let us know of any news.
