Chapter 12. Updating managed clusters with the Topology Aware Lifecycle Manager
Chapter 12. Updating managed clusters with the Topology Aware Lifecycle Manager You can use the Topology Aware Lifecycle Manager (TALM) to manage the software lifecycle of multiple clusters. TALM uses Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management (RHACM) policies to perform changes on the target clusters. Important Using PolicyGenerator resources with GitOps ZTP is a Technology Preview feature only. Technology Preview features are not supported with Red Hat production service level agreements (SLAs) and might not be functionally complete. Red Hat does not recommend using them in production. These features provide early access to upcoming product features, enabling customers to test functionality and provide feedback during the development process. For more information about the support scope of Red Hat Technology Preview features, see Technology Preview Features Support Scope . 12.1. About the Topology Aware Lifecycle Manager configuration The Topology Aware Lifecycle Manager (TALM) manages the deployment of Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management (RHACM) policies for one or more OpenShift Container Platform clusters. Using TALM in a large network of clusters allows the phased rollout of policies to the clusters in limited batches. This helps to minimize possible service disruptions when updating. With TALM, you can control the following actions: The timing of the update The number of RHACM-managed clusters The subset of managed clusters to apply the policies to The update order of the clusters The set of policies remediated to the cluster The order of policies remediated to the cluster The assignment of a canary cluster For single-node OpenShift, the Topology Aware Lifecycle Manager (TALM) offers pre-caching images for clusters with limited bandwidth. TALM supports the orchestration of the OpenShift Container Platform y-stream and z-stream updates, and day-two operations on y-streams and z-streams. 12.2. About managed policies used with Topology Aware Lifecycle Manager The Topology Aware Lifecycle Manager (TALM) uses RHACM policies for cluster updates. TALM can be used to manage the rollout of any policy CR where the remediationAction field is set to inform . Supported use cases include the following: Manual user creation of policy CRs Automatically generated policies from the PolicyGenerator or PolicyGentemplate custom resource definition (CRD) For policies that update an Operator subscription with manual approval, TALM provides additional functionality that approves the installation of the updated Operator. For more information about managed policies, see Policy Overview in the RHACM documentation. Additional resources About the PolicyGenerator CRD 12.3. Installing the Topology Aware Lifecycle Manager by using the web console You can use the OpenShift Container Platform web console to install the Topology Aware Lifecycle Manager. Prerequisites Install the latest version of the RHACM Operator. TALM 4.16 requires RHACM 2.9 or later. Set up a hub cluster with a disconnected registry. Log in as a user with cluster-admin privileges. Procedure In the OpenShift Container Platform web console, navigate to Operators OperatorHub . Search for the Topology Aware Lifecycle Manager from the list of available Operators, and then click Install . Keep the default selection of Installation mode ["All namespaces on the cluster (default)"] and Installed Namespace ("openshift-operators") to ensure that the Operator is installed properly. Click Install . Verification To confirm that the installation is successful: Navigate to the Operators Installed Operators page. Check that the Operator is installed in the All Namespaces namespace and its status is Succeeded . If the Operator is not installed successfully: Navigate to the Operators Installed Operators page and inspect the Status column for any errors or failures. Navigate to the Workloads Pods page and check the logs in any containers in the cluster-group-upgrades-controller-manager pod that are reporting issues. 12.4. Installing the Topology Aware Lifecycle Manager by using the CLI You can use the OpenShift CLI ( oc ) to install the Topology Aware Lifecycle Manager (TALM). Prerequisites Install the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). Install the latest version of the RHACM Operator. TALM 4.16 requires RHACM 2.9 or later. Set up a hub cluster with disconnected registry. Log in as a user with cluster-admin privileges. Procedure Create a Subscription CR: Define the Subscription CR and save the YAML file, for example, talm-subscription.yaml : apiVersion: operators.coreos.com/v1alpha1 kind: Subscription metadata: name: openshift-topology-aware-lifecycle-manager-subscription namespace: openshift-operators spec: channel: "stable" name: topology-aware-lifecycle-manager source: redhat-operators sourceNamespace: openshift-marketplace Create the Subscription CR by running the following command: USD oc create -f talm-subscription.yaml Verification Verify that the installation succeeded by inspecting the CSV resource: USD oc get csv -n openshift-operators Example output NAME DISPLAY VERSION REPLACES PHASE topology-aware-lifecycle-manager.4.16.x Topology Aware Lifecycle Manager 4.16.x Succeeded Verify that the TALM is up and running: USD oc get deploy -n openshift-operators Example output NAMESPACE NAME READY UP-TO-DATE AVAILABLE AGE openshift-operators cluster-group-upgrades-controller-manager 1/1 1 1 14s 12.5. About the ClusterGroupUpgrade CR The Topology Aware Lifecycle Manager (TALM) builds the remediation plan from the ClusterGroupUpgrade CR for a group of clusters. You can define the following specifications in a ClusterGroupUpgrade CR: Clusters in the group Blocking ClusterGroupUpgrade CRs Applicable list of managed policies Number of concurrent updates Applicable canary updates Actions to perform before and after the update Update timing You can control the start time of an update using the enable field in the ClusterGroupUpgrade CR. For example, if you have a scheduled maintenance window of four hours, you can prepare a ClusterGroupUpgrade CR with the enable field set to false . You can set the timeout by configuring the spec.remediationStrategy.timeout setting as follows: spec remediationStrategy: maxConcurrency: 1 timeout: 240 You can use the batchTimeoutAction to determine what happens if an update fails for a cluster. You can specify continue to skip the failing cluster and continue to upgrade other clusters, or abort to stop policy remediation for all clusters. Once the timeout elapses, TALM removes all enforce policies to ensure that no further updates are made to clusters. To apply the changes, you set the enabled field to true . For more information see the "Applying update policies to managed clusters" section. As TALM works through remediation of the policies to the specified clusters, the ClusterGroupUpgrade CR can report true or false statuses for a number of conditions. Note After TALM completes a cluster update, the cluster does not update again under the control of the same ClusterGroupUpgrade CR. You must create a new ClusterGroupUpgrade CR in the following cases: When you need to update the cluster again When the cluster changes to non-compliant with the inform policy after being updated 12.5.1. Selecting clusters TALM builds a remediation plan and selects clusters based on the following fields: The clusterLabelSelector field specifies the labels of the clusters that you want to update. This consists of a list of the standard label selectors from k8s.io/apimachinery/pkg/apis/meta/v1 . Each selector in the list uses either label value pairs or label expressions. Matches from each selector are added to the final list of clusters along with the matches from the clusterSelector field and the cluster field. The clusters field specifies a list of clusters to update. The canaries field specifies the clusters for canary updates. The maxConcurrency field specifies the number of clusters to update in a batch. The actions field specifies beforeEnable actions that TALM takes as it begins the update process, and afterCompletion actions that TALM takes as it completes policy remediation for each cluster. You can use the clusters , clusterLabelSelector , and clusterSelector fields together to create a combined list of clusters. The remediation plan starts with the clusters listed in the canaries field. Each canary cluster forms a single-cluster batch. Sample ClusterGroupUpgrade CR with the enabled field set to false apiVersion: ran.openshift.io/v1alpha1 kind: ClusterGroupUpgrade metadata: creationTimestamp: '2022-11-18T16:27:15Z' finalizers: - ran.openshift.io/cleanup-finalizer generation: 1 name: talm-cgu namespace: talm-namespace resourceVersion: '40451823' uid: cca245a5-4bca-45fa-89c0-aa6af81a596c Spec: actions: afterCompletion: 1 addClusterLabels: upgrade-done: "" deleteClusterLabels: upgrade-running: "" deleteObjects: true beforeEnable: 2 addClusterLabels: upgrade-running: "" clusters: 3 - spoke1 enable: false 4 managedPolicies: 5 - talm-policy preCaching: false remediationStrategy: 6 canaries: 7 - spoke1 maxConcurrency: 2 8 timeout: 240 clusterLabelSelectors: 9 - matchExpressions: - key: label1 operator: In values: - value1a - value1b batchTimeoutAction: 10 status: 11 computedMaxConcurrency: 2 conditions: - lastTransitionTime: '2022-11-18T16:27:15Z' message: All selected clusters are valid reason: ClusterSelectionCompleted status: 'True' type: ClustersSelected 12 - lastTransitionTime: '2022-11-18T16:27:15Z' message: Completed validation reason: ValidationCompleted status: 'True' type: Validated 13 - lastTransitionTime: '2022-11-18T16:37:16Z' message: Not enabled reason: NotEnabled status: 'False' type: Progressing managedPoliciesForUpgrade: - name: talm-policy namespace: talm-namespace managedPoliciesNs: talm-policy: talm-namespace remediationPlan: - - spoke1 - - spoke2 - spoke3 status: 1 Specifies the action that TALM takes when it completes policy remediation for each cluster. 2 Specifies the action that TALM takes as it begins the update process. 3 Defines the list of clusters to update. 4 The enable field is set to false . 5 Lists the user-defined set of policies to remediate. 6 Defines the specifics of the cluster updates. 7 Defines the clusters for canary updates. 8 Defines the maximum number of concurrent updates in a batch. The number of remediation batches is the number of canary clusters, plus the number of clusters, except the canary clusters, divided by the maxConcurrency value. The clusters that are already compliant with all the managed policies are excluded from the remediation plan. 9 Displays the parameters for selecting clusters. 10 Controls what happens if a batch times out. Possible values are abort or continue . If unspecified, the default is continue . 11 Displays information about the status of the updates. 12 The ClustersSelected condition shows that all selected clusters are valid. 13 The Validated condition shows that all selected clusters have been validated. Note Any failures during the update of a canary cluster stops the update process. When the remediation plan is successfully created, you can you set the enable field to true and TALM starts to update the non-compliant clusters with the specified managed policies. Note You can only make changes to the spec fields if the enable field of the ClusterGroupUpgrade CR is set to false . 12.5.2. Validating TALM checks that all specified managed policies are available and correct, and uses the Validated condition to report the status and reasons as follows: true Validation is completed. false Policies are missing or invalid, or an invalid platform image has been specified. 12.5.3. Pre-caching Clusters might have limited bandwidth to access the container image registry, which can cause a timeout before the updates are completed. On single-node OpenShift clusters, you can use pre-caching to avoid this. The container image pre-caching starts when you create a ClusterGroupUpgrade CR with the preCaching field set to true . TALM compares the available disk space with the estimated OpenShift Container Platform image size to ensure that there is enough space. If a cluster has insufficient space, TALM cancels pre-caching for that cluster and does not remediate policies on it. TALM uses the PrecacheSpecValid condition to report status information as follows: true The pre-caching spec is valid and consistent. false The pre-caching spec is incomplete. TALM uses the PrecachingSucceeded condition to report status information as follows: true TALM has concluded the pre-caching process. If pre-caching fails for any cluster, the update fails for that cluster but proceeds for all other clusters. A message informs you if pre-caching has failed for any clusters. false Pre-caching is still in progress for one or more clusters or has failed for all clusters. For more information see the "Using the container image pre-cache feature" section. 12.5.4. Updating clusters TALM enforces the policies following the remediation plan. Enforcing the policies for subsequent batches starts immediately after all the clusters of the current batch are compliant with all the managed policies. If the batch times out, TALM moves on to the batch. The timeout value of a batch is the spec.timeout field divided by the number of batches in the remediation plan. TALM uses the Progressing condition to report the status and reasons as follows: true TALM is remediating non-compliant policies. false The update is not in progress. Possible reasons for this are: All clusters are compliant with all the managed policies. The update timed out as policy remediation took too long. Blocking CRs are missing from the system or have not yet completed. The ClusterGroupUpgrade CR is not enabled. Note The managed policies apply in the order that they are listed in the managedPolicies field in the ClusterGroupUpgrade CR. One managed policy is applied to the specified clusters at a time. When a cluster complies with the current policy, the managed policy is applied to it. Sample ClusterGroupUpgrade CR in the Progressing state apiVersion: ran.openshift.io/v1alpha1 kind: ClusterGroupUpgrade metadata: creationTimestamp: '2022-11-18T16:27:15Z' finalizers: - ran.openshift.io/cleanup-finalizer generation: 1 name: talm-cgu namespace: talm-namespace resourceVersion: '40451823' uid: cca245a5-4bca-45fa-89c0-aa6af81a596c Spec: actions: afterCompletion: deleteObjects: true beforeEnable: {} clusters: - spoke1 enable: true managedPolicies: - talm-policy preCaching: true remediationStrategy: canaries: - spoke1 maxConcurrency: 2 timeout: 240 clusterLabelSelectors: - matchExpressions: - key: label1 operator: In values: - value1a - value1b batchTimeoutAction: status: clusters: - name: spoke1 state: complete computedMaxConcurrency: 2 conditions: - lastTransitionTime: '2022-11-18T16:27:15Z' message: All selected clusters are valid reason: ClusterSelectionCompleted status: 'True' type: ClustersSelected - lastTransitionTime: '2022-11-18T16:27:15Z' message: Completed validation reason: ValidationCompleted status: 'True' type: Validated - lastTransitionTime: '2022-11-18T16:37:16Z' message: Remediating non-compliant policies reason: InProgress status: 'True' type: Progressing 1 managedPoliciesForUpgrade: - name: talm-policy namespace: talm-namespace managedPoliciesNs: talm-policy: talm-namespace remediationPlan: - - spoke1 - - spoke2 - spoke3 status: currentBatch: 2 currentBatchRemediationProgress: spoke2: state: Completed spoke3: policyIndex: 0 state: InProgress currentBatchStartedAt: '2022-11-18T16:27:16Z' startedAt: '2022-11-18T16:27:15Z' 1 The Progressing fields show that TALM is in the process of remediating policies. 12.5.5. Update status TALM uses the Succeeded condition to report the status and reasons as follows: true All clusters are compliant with the specified managed policies. false Policy remediation failed as there were no clusters available for remediation, or because policy remediation took too long for one of the following reasons: The current batch contains canary updates and the cluster in the batch does not comply with all the managed policies within the batch timeout. Clusters did not comply with the managed policies within the timeout value specified in the remediationStrategy field. Sample ClusterGroupUpgrade CR in the Succeeded state apiVersion: ran.openshift.io/v1alpha1 kind: ClusterGroupUpgrade metadata: name: cgu-upgrade-complete namespace: default spec: clusters: - spoke1 - spoke4 enable: true managedPolicies: - policy1-common-cluster-version-policy - policy2-common-pao-sub-policy remediationStrategy: maxConcurrency: 1 timeout: 240 status: 1 clusters: - name: spoke1 state: complete - name: spoke4 state: complete conditions: - message: All selected clusters are valid reason: ClusterSelectionCompleted status: "True" type: ClustersSelected - message: Completed validation reason: ValidationCompleted status: "True" type: Validated - message: All clusters are compliant with all the managed policies reason: Completed status: "False" type: Progressing 2 - message: All clusters are compliant with all the managed policies reason: Completed status: "True" type: Succeeded 3 managedPoliciesForUpgrade: - name: policy1-common-cluster-version-policy namespace: default - name: policy2-common-pao-sub-policy namespace: default remediationPlan: - - spoke1 - - spoke4 status: completedAt: '2022-11-18T16:27:16Z' startedAt: '2022-11-18T16:27:15Z' 2 In the Progressing fields, the status is false as the update has completed; clusters are compliant with all the managed policies. 3 The Succeeded fields show that the validations completed successfully. 1 The status field includes a list of clusters and their respective statuses. The status of a cluster can be complete or timedout .

Blocking ClusterGroupUpgrade CRs You can create multiple ClusterGroupUpgrade CRs and control their order of application. For example, if you create ClusterGroupUpgrade CR C that blocks the start of ClusterGroupUpgrade CR A, then ClusterGroupUpgrade CR A cannot start until the status of ClusterGroupUpgrade CR C becomes UpgradeComplete . One ClusterGroupUpgrade CR can have multiple blocking CRs. In this case, all the blocking CRs must complete before the upgrade for the current CR can start. Prerequisites Install the Topology Aware Lifecycle Manager (TALM). Provision one or more managed clusters. Log in as a user with cluster-admin privileges. Create RHACM policies in the hub cluster.

Update policies on managed clusters The Topology Aware Lifecycle Manager (TALM) remediates a set of inform policies for the clusters specified in the ClusterGroupUpgrade custom resource (CR). TALM remediates inform policies by controlling the remediationAction specification in a Policy CR through the bindingOverrides.remediationAction and subFilter specifications in the PlacementBinding CR. Each policy has its own corresponding RHACM placement rule and RHACM placement binding. One by one, TALM adds each cluster from the current batch to the placement rule that corresponds with the applicable managed policy. If a cluster is already compliant with a policy, TALM skips applying that policy on the compliant cluster. TALM then moves on to applying the policy to the non-compliant cluster. After TALM completes the updates in a batch, all clusters are removed from the placement rules associated with the policies. Then, the update of the batch starts. If a spoke cluster does not report any compliant state to RHACM, the managed policies on the hub cluster can be missing status information that TALM needs. TALM handles these cases in the following ways: If a policy's status.compliant field is missing, TALM ignores the policy and adds a log entry. Then, TALM continues looking at the policy's status.status field. If a policy's status.status is missing, TALM produces an error. If a cluster's compliance status is missing in the policy's status.status field, TALM considers that cluster to be non-compliant with that policy. The ClusterGroupUpgrade CR's batchTimeoutAction determines what happens if an upgrade fails for a cluster. You can specify continue to skip the failing cluster and continue to upgrade other clusters, or specify abort to stop the policy remediation for all clusters. Once the timeout elapses, TALM removes all the resources it created to ensure that no further updates are made to clusters.

Additional resources About the PolicyGenerator CRD 12.6.1. Configuring Operator subscriptions for managed clusters that you install with TALM Topology Aware Lifecycle Manager (TALM) can only approve the install plan for an Operator if the Subscription custom resource (CR) of the Operator contains the status.state.AtLatestKnown field. Procedure Add the status.state.AtLatestKnown field to the Subscription CR of the Operator: Example Subscription CR apiVersion: operators.coreos.com/v1alpha1 kind: Subscription metadata: name: cluster-logging namespace: openshift-logging annotations: ran.openshift.io/ztp-deploy-wave: "2" spec: channel: "stable" name: cluster-logging source: redhat-operators sourceNamespace: openshift-marketplace installPlanApproval: Manual status: state: AtLatestKnown 1 1 The status.state: AtLatestKnown field is used for the latest Operator version available from the Operator catalog. Note When a new version of the Operator is available in the registry, the associated policy becomes non-compliant. Apply the changed Subscription policy to your managed clusters with a ClusterGroupUpgrade CR. 12.6.2. Applying update policies to managed clusters You can update your managed clusters by applying your policies. Prerequisites Install the Topology Aware Lifecycle Manager (TALM). TALM 4.16 requires RHACM 2.9 or later. Provision one or more managed clusters. Log in as a user with cluster-admin privileges. Create RHACM policies in the hub cluster. Procedure Save the contents of the ClusterGroupUpgrade CR in the cgu-1.yaml file. apiVersion: ran.openshift.io/v1alpha1 kind: ClusterGroupUpgrade metadata: name: cgu-1 namespace: default spec: managedPolicies: 1 - policy1-common-cluster-version-policy - policy2-common-nto-sub-policy - policy3-common-ptp-sub-policy - policy4-common-sriov-sub-policy enable: false clusters: 2 - spoke1 - spoke2 - spoke5 - spoke6 remediationStrategy: maxConcurrency: 2 3 timeout: 240 4 batchTimeoutAction: 5 1 The name of the policies to apply. 2 The list of clusters to update. 3 The maxConcurrency field signifies the number of clusters updated at the same time. 4 The update timeout in minutes. 5 Controls what happens if a batch times out. Possible values are abort or continue . If unspecified, the default is continue . Create the ClusterGroupUpgrade CR by running the following command: USD oc create -f cgu-1.yaml Check if the ClusterGroupUpgrade CR was created in the hub cluster by running the following command: USD oc get cgu --all-namespaces Example output NAMESPACE NAME AGE STATE DETAILS default cgu-1 8m55 NotEnabled Not Enabled Check the status of the update by running the following command: USD oc get cgu -n default cgu-1 -ojsonpath='{.status}' | jq Example output { "computedMaxConcurrency": 2, "conditions": [ { "lastTransitionTime": "2022-02-25T15:34:07Z", "message": "Not enabled", 1 "reason": "NotEnabled", "status": "False", "type": "Progressing" } ], "managedPoliciesContent": { "policy1-common-cluster-version-policy": "null", "policy2-common-nto-sub-policy": "[{\"kind\":\"Subscription\",\"name\":\"node-tuning-operator\",\"namespace\":\"openshift-cluster-node-tuning-operator\"}]", "policy3-common-ptp-sub-policy": "[{\"kind\":\"Subscription\",\"name\":\"ptp-operator-subscription\",\"namespace\":\"openshift-ptp\"}]", "policy4-common-sriov-sub-policy": "[{\"kind\":\"Subscription\",\"name\":\"sriov-network-operator-subscription\",\"namespace\":\"openshift-sriov-network-operator\"}]" }, "managedPoliciesForUpgrade": [ { "name": "policy1-common-cluster-version-policy", "namespace": "default" }, { "name": "policy2-common-nto-sub-policy", "namespace": "default" }, { "name": "policy3-common-ptp-sub-policy", "namespace": "default" }, { "name": "policy4-common-sriov-sub-policy", "namespace": "default" } ], "managedPoliciesNs": { "policy1-common-cluster-version-policy": "default", "policy2-common-nto-sub-policy": "default", "policy3-common-ptp-sub-policy": "default", "policy4-common-sriov-sub-policy": "default" }, "placementBindings": [ "cgu-policy1-common-cluster-version-policy", "cgu-policy2-common-nto-sub-policy", "cgu-policy3-common-ptp-sub-policy", "cgu-policy4-common-sriov-sub-policy" ], "placementRules": [ "cgu-policy1-common-cluster-version-policy", "cgu-policy2-common-nto-sub-policy", "cgu-policy3-common-ptp-sub-policy", "cgu-policy4-common-sriov-sub-policy" ], "remediationPlan": [ [ "spoke1", "spoke2" ], [ "spoke5", "spoke6" ] ], "status": {} } 1 The spec.enable field in the ClusterGroupUpgrade CR is set to false .

Run this command again to receive updated information about the progress. Check the status of the policies by running the following command: oc get policies -A Example output NAMESPACE NAME REMEDIATION ACTION COMPLIANCE STATE AGE spoke1 default.policy1-common-cluster-version-policy enforce Compliant 18m spoke1 default.policy2-common-nto-sub-policy enforce NonCompliant 18m spoke2 default.policy1-common-cluster-version-policy enforce Compliant 18m spoke2 default.policy2-common-nto-sub-policy enforce NonCompliant 18m spoke5 default.policy3-common-ptp-sub-policy inform NonCompliant 18m spoke5 default.policy4-common-sriov-sub-policy inform NonCompliant 18m spoke6 default.policy3-common-ptp-sub-policy inform NonCompliant 18m spoke6 default.policy4-common-sriov-sub-policy inform NonCompliant 18m default policy1-common-ptp-sub-policy inform Compliant 18m default policy2-common-sriov-sub-policy inform NonCompliant 18m default policy3-common-ptp-sub-policy inform NonCompliant 18m default policy4-common-sriov-sub-policy inform NonCompliant 18m The spec.remediationAction value changes to enforce for the child policies applied to the clusters from the current batch. The spec.remedationAction value remains inform for the child policies in the rest of the clusters. After the batch is complete, the spec.remediationAction value changes back to inform for the enforced child policies. If the policies include Operator subscriptions, you can check the installation progress directly on the single-node cluster. Export the KUBECONFIG file of the single-node cluster you want to check the installation progress for by running the following command: USD export KUBECONFIG=<cluster_kubeconfig_absolute_path> Check all the subscriptions present on the single-node cluster and look for the one in the policy you are trying to install through the ClusterGroupUpgrade CR by running the following command: USD oc get subs -A | grep -i <subscription_name> Example output for cluster-logging policy NAMESPACE NAME PACKAGE SOURCE CHANNEL openshift-logging cluster-logging cluster-logging redhat-operators stable If one of the managed policies includes a ClusterVersion CR, check the status of platform updates in the current batch by running the following command against the spoke cluster: USD oc get clusterversion Example output NAME VERSION AVAILABLE PROGRESSING SINCE STATUS version 4.4.16.5 True True 43s Working towards 4.4.16.7: 71 of 735 done (9% complete) Check the Operator subscription by running the following command: USD oc get subs -n <operator-namespace> <operator-subscription> -ojsonpath="{.status}" Check the install plans present on the single-node cluster that is associated with the desired subscription by running the following command: USD oc get installplan -n <subscription_namespace> Example output for cluster-logging Operator NAMESPACE NAME CSV APPROVAL APPROVED openshift-logging install-6khtw cluster-logging.5.3.3-4 Manual true 1 1 The install plans have their Approval field set to Manual and their Approved field changes from false to true after TALM approves the install plan. Note When TALM is remediating a policy containing a subscription, it automatically approves any install plans attached to that subscription. Where multiple install plans are needed to get the operator to the latest known version, TALM might approve multiple install plans, upgrading through one or more intermediate versions to get to the final version. Check if the cluster service version for the Operator of the policy that the ClusterGroupUpgrade is installing reached the Succeeded phase by running the following command: USD oc get csv -n <operator_namespace> Example output for OpenShift Logging Operator NAME DISPLAY VERSION REPLACES PHASE cluster-logging.5.4.2 Red Hat OpenShift Logging 5.4.2 Succeeded 12.7. Using the container image pre-cache feature Single-node OpenShift clusters might have limited bandwidth to access the container image registry, which can cause a timeout before the updates are completed. Note The time of the update is not set by TALM. You can apply the ClusterGroupUpgrade CR at the beginning of the update by manual application or by external automation. The container image pre-caching starts when the preCaching field is set to true in the ClusterGroupUpgrade CR. TALM uses the PrecacheSpecValid condition to report status information as follows: true The pre-caching spec is valid and consistent. false The pre-caching spec is incomplete. TALM uses the PrecachingSucceeded condition to report status information as follows: true TALM has concluded the pre-caching process. If pre-caching fails for any cluster, the update fails for that cluster but proceeds for all other clusters. A message informs you if pre-caching has failed for any clusters. false Pre-caching is still in progress for one or more clusters or has failed for all clusters. After a successful pre-caching process, you can start remediating policies. The remediation actions start when the enable field is set to true . If there is a pre-caching failure on a cluster, the upgrade fails for that cluster. The upgrade process continues for all other clusters that have a successful pre-cache. The pre-caching process can be in the following statuses: NotStarted This is the initial state all clusters are automatically assigned to on the first reconciliation pass of the ClusterGroupUpgrade CR. In this state, TALM deletes any pre-caching namespace and hub view resources of spoke clusters that remain from incomplete updates. TALM then creates a new ManagedClusterView resource for the spoke pre-caching namespace to verify its deletion in the PrecachePreparing state. PreparingToStart Cleaning up any remaining resources from incomplete updates is in progress. Starting Pre-caching job prerequisites and the job are created. Active The job is in "Active" state. Succeeded The pre-cache job succeeded. PrecacheTimeout The artifact pre-caching is partially done. UnrecoverableError The job ends with a non-zero exit code. 12.7.1. Using the container image pre-cache filter The pre-cache feature typically downloads more images than a cluster needs for an update. You can control which pre-cache images are downloaded to a cluster. This decreases download time, and saves bandwidth and storage. You can see a list of all images to be downloaded using the following command: USD oc adm release info <ocp-version> The following ConfigMap example shows how you can exclude images using the excludePrecachePatterns field. apiVersion: v1 kind: ConfigMap metadata: name: cluster-group-upgrade-overrides data: excludePrecachePatterns: | azure 1 aws vsphere alibaba 1 TALM excludes all images with names that include any of the patterns listed here. 12.7.2. Creating a ClusterGroupUpgrade CR with pre-caching For single-node OpenShift, the pre-cache feature allows the required container images to be present on the spoke cluster before the update starts. Note For pre-caching, TALM uses the spec.remediationStrategy.timeout value from the ClusterGroupUpgrade CR. You must set a timeout value that allows sufficient time for the pre-caching job to complete. When you enable the ClusterGroupUpgrade CR after pre-caching has completed, you can change the timeout value to a duration that is appropriate for the update. Prerequisites Install the Topology Aware Lifecycle Manager (TALM). Provision one or more managed clusters. Log in as a user with cluster-admin privileges. Procedure Save the contents of the ClusterGroupUpgrade CR with the preCaching field set to true in the clustergroupupgrades-group-du.yaml file: apiVersion: ran.openshift.io/v1alpha1 kind: ClusterGroupUpgrade metadata: name: du-upgrade-4918 namespace: ztp-group-du-sno spec: preCaching: true 1 clusters: - cnfdb1 - cnfdb2 enable: false managedPolicies: - du-upgrade-platform-upgrade remediationStrategy: maxConcurrency: 2 timeout: 240 1 The preCaching field is set to true , which enables TALM to pull the container images before starting the update. When you want to start pre-caching, apply the ClusterGroupUpgrade CR by running the following command: USD oc apply -f clustergroupupgrades-group-du.yaml Verification Check if the ClusterGroupUpgrade CR exists in the hub cluster by running the following command: USD oc get cgu -A Example output NAMESPACE NAME AGE STATE DETAILS ztp-group-du-sno du-upgrade-4918 10s InProgress Precaching is required and not done 1 1 The CR is created.

Troubleshooting the Topology Aware Lifecycle Manager The Topology Aware Lifecycle Manager (TALM) is an OpenShift Container Platform Operator that remediates RHACM policies. When issues occur, use the oc adm must-gather command to gather details and logs and to take steps in debugging the issues. For more information about related topics, see the following documentation: Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes 2.4 Support Matrix Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management Troubleshooting The "Troubleshooting Operator issues" section 12.8.1. General troubleshooting You can determine the cause of the problem by reviewing the following questions: Is the configuration that you are applying supported? Are the RHACM and the OpenShift Container Platform versions compatible? Are the TALM and RHACM versions compatible? Which of the following components is causing the problem? Section 12.8.3, "Managed policies" Section 12.8.4, "Clusters" Section 12.8.5, "Remediation Strategy" Section 12.8.6, "Topology Aware Lifecycle Manager" To ensure that the ClusterGroupUpgrade configuration is functional, you can do the following: Create the ClusterGroupUpgrade CR with the spec.enable field set to false . Wait for the status to be updated and go through the troubleshooting questions. If everything looks as expected, set the spec.enable field to true in the ClusterGroupUpgrade CR. Warning After you set the spec.enable field to true in the ClusterUpgradeGroup CR, the update procedure starts and you cannot edit the CR's spec fields anymore. 12.8.2. Cannot modify the ClusterUpgradeGroup CR Issue You cannot edit the ClusterUpgradeGroup CR after enabling the update. Resolution Restart the procedure by performing the following steps: Remove the old ClusterGroupUpgrade CR by running the following command: USD oc delete cgu -n <ClusterGroupUpgradeCR_namespace> <ClusterGroupUpgradeCR_name> Check and fix the existing issues with the managed clusters and policies. Ensure that all the clusters are managed clusters and available. Ensure that all the policies exist and have the spec.remediationAction field set to inform . Create a new ClusterGroupUpgrade CR with the correct configurations. USD oc apply -f <ClusterGroupUpgradeCR_YAML> 12.8.3. Managed policies Checking managed policies on the system Issue You want to check if you have the correct managed policies on the system. Resolution Run the following command: USD oc get cgu lab-upgrade -ojsonpath='{.spec.managedPolicies}' Example output ["group-du-sno-validator-du-validator-policy", "policy2-common-nto-sub-policy", "policy3-common-ptp-sub-policy"] Checking remediationAction mode Issue You want to check if the remediationAction field is set to inform in the spec of the managed policies.

Clusters are not compliant to some policies after a ClusterGroupUpgrade CR has completed Issue The policy compliance status that TALM uses to decide if remediation is needed has not yet fully updated for all clusters. This may be because: The CGU was run too soon after a policy was created or updated. The remediation of a policy affects the compliance of subsequent policies in the ClusterGroupUpgrade CR. Resolution Create and apply a new ClusterGroupUpdate CR with the same specification. Auto-created ClusterGroupUpgrade CR in the GitOps ZTP workflow has no managed policies Issue If there are no policies for the managed cluster when the cluster becomes Ready , a ClusterGroupUpgrade CR with no policies is auto-created. Upon completion of the ClusterGroupUpgrade CR, the managed cluster is labeled as ztp-done . If the PolicyGenerator or PolicyGenTemplate CRs were not pushed to the Git repository within the required time after SiteConfig resources were pushed, this might result in no policies being available for the target cluster when the cluster became Ready . Resolution Verify that the policies you want to apply are available on the hub cluster, then create a ClusterGroupUpgrade CR with the required policies. You can either manually create the ClusterGroupUpgrade CR or trigger auto-creation again. To trigger auto-creation of the ClusterGroupUpgrade CR, remove the ztp-done label from the cluster and delete the empty ClusterGroupUpgrade CR that was previously created in the zip-install namespace. Pre-caching has failed Issue Pre-caching might fail for one of the following reasons: There is not enough free space on the node. For a disconnected environment, the pre-cache image has not been properly mirrored. There was an issue when creating the pod. Resolution To check if pre-caching has failed due to insufficient space, check the log of the pre-caching pod in the node. Find the name of the pod using the following command: USD oc get pods -n openshift-talo-pre-cache Check the logs to see if the error is related to insufficient space using the following command: USD oc logs -n openshift-talo-pre-cache <pod name> If there is no log, check the pod status using the following command: USD oc describe pod -n openshift-talo-pre-cache <pod name> If the pod does not exist, check the job status to see why it could not create a pod using the following command: USD oc describe job -n openshift-talo-pre-cache pre-cache Additional resources OpenShift Container Platform Troubleshooting Operator Issues Updating managed policies with Topology Aware Lifecycle Manager About the PolicyGenerator CRD
