Why does the OpenShift Data Foundation installation fail for OpenShift Virtualization?

Virtual Private Cloud 4.17 and later Bare metal worker nodes only RHCOS only

You try to set up OpenShift Data Foundation (ODF) for OpenShift Virtualization, but the installation does not complete successfully.

ODF for virtualization on VPC bare metal workers requires local NVMe storage, enough worker nodes, and a healthy storage cluster deployment. Installation can fail if the worker nodes do not have suitable local disks or if the storage cluster does not become ready.

To resolve the issue,

verify the worker node storage, confirm the node count, and review the storage cluster status.

1. Verify that your bare metal worker nodes have local NVMe storage.

   oc debug node/<node_name>
   chroot /host
   lsblk
   

2. Ensure that your cluster has at least three worker nodes.

   oc get nodes
   

3. Verify that the disks you plan to use are available.

   oc debug node/<node_name>
   chroot /host
   lsblk
   

4. Review the ODF operator logs.

   oc logs -n openshift-storage -l app=ocs-operator
   

5. Check the storage cluster status.

   oc get storagecluster -n openshift-storage
   oc describe storagecluster -n openshift-storage
   

6. Review Setting up storage for OpenShift Virtualization and Deploying OpenShift Data Foundation on VPC clusters to confirm that your cluster meets the supported ODF requirements.
