Description

Having a problem getting the SQL 2019 HA to deploy on my K8s 1.18

  • docker-ce-19.03.8
  • docker-ce-cli-19.03.8
  • containerd.io-1.2.13
  • kubelet-1.18.5
  • kubeadm-1.18.5
  • kubectl-1.18.5
  • etcd-3.4.10
  • Use Flannel for Pod Overlay Net
  • Performed all of the host-level work (SELinux permissive, swapoff, etc.)
  • All Centos7 in an on-prem Vsphere envioronment (6.7U3)

I've built all my configs and currently have:

  • a 3-node external/stand-alone etcd cluster with peer-to-peer and client-server encrypted transmissions
  • a 3-node control plane cluster -- kubeadm init is bootstrapped with x509s and targets to the 3 etcds (so stacked etcd never happens)
  • HAProxy and Keepalived are installed on two of the etcd cluster members, load-balancing access to the API server endpoints on the control plane (TCP6443)
  • 6-worker nodes
  • Storage configured with the in-tree Vmware Cloud Provider (I know it's deprecated)--and yes, this is my DEFAULT SC

Status Checks:

  • kubectl cluster-info reports:
[me@km-01 pods]$ kubectl cluster-info

To the problem: There are a number of articles talking about a SQL2019 HA build. It appears that every single one however, is in the cloud whereas mine is on-prem in a Vsphere env. They appear to be very simple: Run 3 scripts in this order: operator.yaml, sql.yaml, and ag-service.yaml.

My YAML's are based on: https://github.com/microsoft/sql-server-samples/tree/master/samples/features/high%20availability/Kubernetes/sample-manifest-files

For the blogs that actually screenshot the environment afterward, there should be at least 7 pods (1 Operator, 3 SQL Init, 3 SQL). If you look at my aforementioned all --all-namespaces output, I have everything (and in a running state) but no pods other than the running Operator...???

I actually broke the control plane back to a single-node just to try to isolate the logs. /var/log/container/* and /var/log/pod/* contain nothing of value to indicate a problem with storage or any other reason the the Pods are non-existent. It's probably also worth noting that I started using the latest sql2019 label: 2019-latest but when I got the same behavior there, I decided to try to use the old bits since so many blogs are based on CTP 2.1.

I can create PVs and PVCs using the VCP storage provider. I have my Secrets and can see them in the Secrets store.

I'm at a loss as to explain why pods are missing or where to look after checking journalctl, the daemons themselves, and /var/log and I don't see any indication there's even an attempt to create them -- the kubectl apply -f mssql-server2019.yaml that I adapted runs to completion and without error indicating 3 sql objects and 3 sql services get created. But here is the file anyway targeting CTP2.1:

I've looked over my operator and mssql2019.yamls (specifically around the kind: SqlServer, since that seems to be where it's failing) and can't identify any glaring inconsistencies or differences.

I'd like to reiterate that I was originally using the 2019latest bits instead of the CTP2.1. I went back to CTP2.1 since that's what all of the online documentation is referencing (including MS's).

Am being told on StackOverflow that this is a K8s version problem between the 2019 operator and my version of K8s. Is that correct?

Research direction

Start with the Kubernetes manifests in the referenced sample-manifest-files directory and the adapted mssql-server2019.yaml, then inspect the mssql-operator resources and logs after applying it. Done means the SqlServer resources produce the expected three SQL init pods and three SQL pods, with their services running in namespace ag1.
