$ oc adm cordon <node_name>
If a node fails and machine health checks are not deployed on your cluster, virtual machines (VMs) with RunStrategy: Always
configured are not automatically relocated to healthy nodes. To trigger VM failover, you must manually delete the Node
object.
If you installed your cluster by using installer-provisioned infrastructure and you properly configured machine health checks:
|
A node where a virtual machine was running has the NotReady
condition.
The virtual machine that was running on the failed node has RunStrategy
set to Always
.
You have installed the OpenShift CLI (oc
).
When you delete a node using the CLI, the node object is deleted in Kubernetes, but the pods that exist on the node are not deleted. Any bare pods not backed by a replication controller become inaccessible to OpenShift Container Platform. Pods backed by replication controllers are rescheduled to other available nodes. You must delete local manifest pods.
Delete a node from an OpenShift Container Platform cluster running on bare metal by completing the following steps:
Mark the node as unschedulable:
$ oc adm cordon <node_name>
Drain all pods on your node:
$ oc adm drain <node_name> --force=true
Delete your node from the cluster:
$ oc delete node <node_name>
Although the node object is now deleted from the cluster, it can still rejoin the cluster after reboot or if the kubelet service is restarted. To permanently delete the node and all its data, you must decommission the node.
