Tungsten Fabric known issues

This section lists the Tungsten Fabric (TF) known issues with workarounds for the Mirantis OpenStack for Kubernetes release 24.1. For TF limitations, see Tungsten Fabric known limitations.

[40032] tf-rabbitmq fails to start after rolling reboot

Occasionally, RabbitMQ instances in tf-rabbitmq pods fail to enable the tracking_records_in_ets during the initialization process.

To work around the problem, restart the affected pods manually.

[13755] TF pods switch to CrashLoopBackOff after a simultaneous reboot

Rebooting all Cassandra cluster TFConfig or TFAnalytics nodes, maintenance, or other circumstances that cause the Cassandra pods to start simultaneously may cause a broken Cassandra TFConfig and/or TFAnalytics cluster. In this case, Cassandra nodes do not join the ring and do not update the IPs of the neighbor nodes. As a result, the TF services cannot operate Cassandra cluster(s).

To verify that a Cassandra cluster is affected:

Run the nodetool status command specifying the config or analytics cluster and the replica number:

kubectl -n tf exec -it tf-cassandra-<config/analytics>-dc1-rack1-<replica number> -c cassandra -- nodetool status

Example of system response with outdated IP addresses:

Workaround:

Manually delete the Cassandra pod from the failed config or analytics cluster to re-initiate the bootstrap process for one of the Cassandra nodes:

kubectl -n tf delete pod tf-cassandra-<config/analytics>-dc1-rack1-<replica_num>
