vspherevolumekube: An HTML repository from rainbowjose

Basic requirements

Update your ESXI to latest(6.7 U3) version from "ESXi shell": esxcli software profile update -p ESXi-6.7.0-20200403001-standard -d https://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/PRODUCTION/main/vmw-depot-index.xml or, in other case, from your vCenter

Upadate your vCenter also.

1. ProviderID env AND disk.EnableUUID = TRUE on ALL nodes.

Correct ProviderID can be applied by script:

    #!/bin/bash
    PAIRS=$(kubectl get nodes -o json | jq -r -c '.items[]|[.metadata.name, .status.nodeInfo.systemUUID]' | tr -d '[]"')
    for vm in $PAIRS; do
    	VM_NAME=${vm%,*}
    	v=${vm#*,}
    	echo Patching $VM_NAME with $VM_UUID
    	kubectl patch node $VM_NAME -p "{\"spec\":{\"providerID\":\"vsphere://${v:6:2}${v:4:2}${v:2:2}${v:0:2}-${v:11:2}${v:9:2}-${v:16:2}${v:14:2}${v:18:36}\"}}"
    done

OR you can use updateproviderid package in that way: helm install updateproviderid .

and then helm delete updateproviderid

it may be useful if you do not want to run any scripts for some reasons.

Check presence of the necessary parameters: kubectl get nodes -o json | jq '.items[]|[.metadata.name, .spec.providerID, .status.nodeInfo.systemUUID]'

2. vSphere CSI things installed in your kubernetes cluster

CPI - Cloud Provider Interface, a thing for aplying UUIDs and some unobivious managing shit. You don't need it!

https://github.com/kubernetes/cloud-provider-vsphere

CSI - Container Storage Interface, driver that must be installed on all your nodes, required to connect your cluster to vSphere.

https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/vsphere-csi-driver/tree/master/manifests

You can find required configuration guides inside repo's

3. Create your SC and PVC for smoke-testing

apiVersion: v1
kind: StorageClass
apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1
metadata:
  name: fast
  annotations:
    storageclass.kubernetes.io/is-default-class: "true"
provisioner: csi.vsphere.vmware.com

apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
metadata:
  name: pvc
spec:
  accessModes:
  - ReadWriteOnce
  resources:
    requests:
      storage: 1Gi
  storageClassName: fast

Troubleshooting

If you re cant edit ProviderID and get message like this:

spec.providerID: Forbidden: node updates may not change providerID except from "" to valid
[]: Forbidden: node updates may only change labels, taints, or capacity (or configSource, if the DynamicKubeletConfig feature gate is enabled)

You can do this: kubectl delete node node1

reboot node

Now the master nodes are gone, lets restore them: kubectl label nodes node1 node-role.kubernetes.io/master=

And then apply patch again!
