All PVs are being created on a single node

[joshuacox]

I am trying to install a multi-node cluster of opensearch and all pods were spawning on a single node, after apply anti-affinity to them, 2 of the 3 nodes are now failing to start up as the PVs are getting some sort of affinity to a single node:

kubectl describe pv -n example pvc-deadbeef-1234

│ Node Affinity:                                                                                                                                                             │
│   Required Terms:                                                                                                                                                          │
│     Term 0:        openebs.io/nodename in [node1]

my storage class looks like this:

apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1
kind: StorageClass
metadata:
  name: openebs-lvmpv
parameters:
  storage: "lvm"
  volgroup: "AirVG"
provisioner: local.csi.openebs.io

I installed openebs using the official chart with the default values file.

I have verified that all nodes have the AirVG and free space on it with vgs:

vgs
  VG    #PV #LV #SN Attr   VSize   VFree  
  AirVG   1   4   0 wz--n- <99.00g <79.00g

this node even has some lvs on it leftover from a previous run:

 lvs
  LV                                       VG    Attr       LSize Pool Origin Data%  Meta%  Move Log Cpy%Sync Convert
  pvc-1d2ac269-3e07-4296-8e24-cc8f6ad9c0d9 AirVG -wi-a----- 5.00g                                                    
  pvc-7123f4e0-2711-4ef7-9bf3-34f406040b09 AirVG -wi-a----- 5.00g                                                    
  pvc-7e399988-89e7-4f69-a636-281d7e3242ee AirVG -wi-a----- 5.00g                                                    
  pvc-bc052119-4edb-4767-b258-b8265dcc83f6 AirVG -wi-a----- 5.00g  

so I know its possible for openebs lvmpv to provision to all the nodes, its just everytime I spin something up the PVs all get stuck on one node.

Hi @joshuacox ,

You don't need to have anti-affinity as pods will be scheduled on the node where lvmvolume is provisioned. Since they have anti-affinity they are forced to go on different node where volumes is not provisioned.

Can you please run:

kubectl get lvmnodes -n <ns> -o yaml

[joshuacox]

@abhilashshetty04

kubectl get lvmnodes -A -o yaml

[joshuacox]

notice I had to -A and not name a namespace as the one I thought it was in was empty

apiVersion: v1
items: []
kind: List
metadata:
  resourceVersion: ""

Also, I notice it only names one node (unconvinced-sparkplug is an appropriate name atm).

If you want a WA for now you could try to side step our scheduling with volumeBindingMode: WaitForFirstConsumer ?

[joshuacox]

@tiagolobocastro I have volumeBindingMode: WaitForFirstConsumer under loki and minio, should I alter it?

loki:
  enabled: true
  # NOTE: For all possible storage options for loki, check https://github.com/openebs/openebs/blob/HEAD/charts/loki-storage.md
  # Configuration for loki's localpv hostpath storage class.
  localpvScConfig:
    enabled: true
    loki:
      # Name of loki's localpv hostpath storage class.
      name: "openebs-loki-localpv"
      # -- Host path where local loki data is stored in.
      basePath: "/var/local/{{ .Release.Name }}/localpv-hostpath/loki"
      # -- ReclaimPolicy of loki's localpv hostpath storage class.
      reclaimPolicy: Delete
      # -- VolumeBindingMode of loki's localpv hostpath storage class.
      volumeBindingMode: WaitForFirstConsumer
    minio:
      # Name of minio's localpv hostpath storage class.
      name: "openebs-minio-localpv"
      # -- Host path where local minio data is stored in.
      basePath: "/var/local/{{ .Release.Name }}/localpv-hostpath/minio"
      # -- ReclaimPolicy of minio's localpv hostpath storage class.
      reclaimPolicy: Delete
      # -- VolumeBindingMode of minio's localpv hostpath storage class.
      volumeBindingMode: WaitForFirstConsumer

[tiagolobocastro]

@joshuacox the volumeBindingMode in the code which you pasted above is only for the volumes which we use specifically for mini and Loki through for our own logging
If these are the volumes which you are talking about then this should suffice.

If you are using other storage classes for other volumes then yes, this change here will not affect anything else, so you'd have to configure other storage classes appropriately, not just for the volumeBindingMode but for all configurations.

[abhilashshetty04]

@joshuacox , If you need anti-affinity among pods then you should use WaitForFirstConsumer in SC. It should be on openebs-lvmpv SC.

However, Your lvmnodes output does not seems correct. Which version of localpv-lvm have you installed?

Can you share:

kubectl get pod -n
kubectl get lvmnodes -n -oyaml

[joshuacox]

After a rebuild of the cluster the PVCs are still getting stuck on one node, but at least this time all three nodes are showing up in this list:

 kubectl get lvmnodes -A -oyaml

on version of localpv-lvm I have the one that is installed by the current official helm chart with the default values https://github.com/openebs/openebs/blob/develop/charts/values.yaml

[joshuacox]

WaitForFirstConsumer is in these places on the default values file:

loki:
  enabled: true
  # NOTE: For all possible storage options for loki, check https://github.com/openebs/openebs/blob/HEAD/charts/loki-storage.md
  # Configuration for loki's localpv hostpath storage class.
  localpvScConfig:
    enabled: true
    loki:
      # Name of loki's localpv hostpath storage class.
      name: "openebs-loki-localpv"
      # -- Host path where local loki data is stored in.
      basePath: "/var/local/{{ .Release.Name }}/localpv-hostpath/loki"
      # -- ReclaimPolicy of loki's localpv hostpath storage class.
      reclaimPolicy: Delete
      # -- VolumeBindingMode of loki's localpv hostpath storage class.
      volumeBindingMode: WaitForFirstConsumer
    minio:
      # Name of minio's localpv hostpath storage class.
      name: "openebs-minio-localpv"
      # -- Host path where local minio data is stored in.
      basePath: "/var/local/{{ .Release.Name }}/localpv-hostpath/minio"
      # -- ReclaimPolicy of minio's localpv hostpath storage class.
      reclaimPolicy: Delete
      # -- VolumeBindingMode of minio's localpv hostpath storage class.
      volumeBindingMode: WaitForFirstConsumer

Should I alter it?

[joshuacox]

ahh its the storage class that needs it added, not the helm chart values

workaround achieved. Is this a workaround? i.e. is there something that needs to be fixed and then I should revert this change?

[abhilashshetty04]

For the volumes to be consumed by user application, It needs to be on the storage Class. But the values.yaml you pasted above is installing the default storage class. It will be fine if you apply it and use it while creating PVs.
