The Nodelet(KDU Hosting) Cluster Creation Failed With "unknown flag: --bootstrap-config" Error.

Problem:

• Management Plane Hosting nodelet cluster creation is failing when --bootstrap-config flag is used.

[root@anik8s-ddu-lts2-2 ~]# /opt/pf9/airctl/airctl advanced-ddu create-mgmt --bootstrap-config /root/clusterSpec.yaml

Error: unknown flag: --bootstrap-config

Environment:

• Platform9 Edge Cloud - LTS2
• Nodelet Cluster(DDU hosting Cluster)

Cause

• The flag --bootstrap-config is now replaced with the flag --config hence use of --bootstrap-config flag will result in such a kind of installation failures.
• Also one more thing to notice here is, the flag --config expects the airctl configuration file as the input or value.
• The example airctl configuration file can be found at the path /opt/pf9/airctl/conf/airctl-config-example.yaml
• Since this file has the parameter bootstrapCfgPath already defined in it hence there is no need to provide the bootstrap configuration file separately during creation of management plane.

[root@anik8s-ddu-lts2-2 ~]# cat /opt/pf9/airctl/conf/airctl-config-example.yaml | grep -i bootstrapCfgPath

bootstrapCfgPath: /etc/nodelet/airctl-mgmt/airctl-mgmt.yaml

Solution:

• The correct command to be used for the the Management Plane creation is as mentioned below.

/opt/pf9/airctl/airctl advanced-ddu create-mgmt --config /opt/pf9/airctl/conf/airctl-config.yaml
