pf9-kube Fails to Start on Master Node(s)

Problem

• Cluster stays in a Pending state after creation.
• One of the Master nodes is reporting as "Offline" or in an "Error Authorizing State"
• In the Flannel logs on the node located at /var/log/pf9/kube/flannel.log, the following error can be observed.

None

{"log":"E1010 XX:XX:XX.583282       1 main.go:280] Error registering network: failed to acquire lease: out of subnets<br>","stream":"stderr","time":"XXXX-XX-XXTXX:XX:XX.1234Z"}

Environment

• Platform9 Managed Kubernetes - v3.6.0 and Higher

Cause

• The container CIDR parameter specified during the cluster creation was too small.

Resolution

1. Delete the existing cluster and try deploying a fresh cluster with Container CIDR values as /16.
2. Verify that cluster creation completes successfully and all the nodes become Ready.
