Upgrade-system job gets stuck

[HendrikLevering]

Description

In my cluster the system-upgrade job gets stuck on nodes. Probably during node drain. I have to use --force and delete a longhorn instance-manager pod manually. Then I have to delete the system-upgrade job and the jobs pod. Only then the job restarts and finishes successfully.
This happens for nodes which have strict node local volumes attached.

  # If you must change the network CIDR you can do so below, but it is highly advised against.
  # network_ipv4_cidr = "10.0.0.0/8"

  # Using the default configuration you can only create a maximum of 42 agent-nodepools.
  # This is due to the creation of a subnet for each nodepool with CIDRs being in the shape of 10.[nodepool-index].0.0/16 which collides with k3s' cluster and service IP ranges (defaults below).
  # Furthermore the maximum number of nodepools (controlplane and agent) is 50, due to a hard limit of 50 subnets per network, see https://docs.hetzner.com/cloud/networks/faq/.
  # So to be able to create a maximum of 50 nodepools in total, the values below have to be changed to something outside that range, e.g. `10.200.0.0/16` and `10.201.0.0/16` for cluster and service respectively.

  # If you must change the cluster CIDR you can do so below, but it is highly advised against.
  # The cluster CIDR must be a part of the network CIDR!
  # cluster_ipv4_cidr = "10.42.0.0/16"

  # If you must change the service CIDR you can do so below, but it is highly advised against.
  # The service CIDR must be a part of the network CIDR!
  # service_ipv4_cidr = "10.43.0.0/16"

  # For the control planes, at least three nodes are the minimum for HA. Otherwise, you need to turn off the automatic upgrades (see README).
  # **It must always be an ODD number, never even!** Search the internet for "splitbrain problem with etcd" or see https://rancher.com/docs/k3s/latest/en/installation/ha-embedded/
  # For instance, one is ok (non-HA), two is not ok, and three is ok (becomes HA). It does not matter if they are in the same nodepool or not! So they can be in different locations and of various types.

  # Of course, you can choose any number of nodepools you want, with the location you want. The only constraint on the location is that you need to stay in the same network region, Europe, or the US.
  # For the server type, the minimum instance supported is cpx11 (just a few cents more than cx11); see https://www.hetzner.com/cloud.

  # IMPORTANT: Before you create your cluster, you can do anything you want with the nodepools, but you need at least one of each, control plane and agent.
  # Once the cluster is up and running, you can change nodepool count and even set it to 0 (in the case of the first control-plane nodepool, the minimum is 1).
  # You can also rename it (if the count is 0), but do not remove a nodepool from the list.

  # You can safely add or remove nodepools at the end of each list. That is due to how subnets and IPs get allocated (FILO).
  # The maximum number of nodepools you can create combined for both lists is 50 (see above).
  # Also, before decreasing the count of any nodepools to 0, it's essential to drain and cordon the nodes in question. Otherwise, it will leave your cluster in a bad state.

  # Before initializing the cluster, you can change all parameters and add or remove any nodepools. You need at least one nodepool of each kind, control plane, and agent.
  # The nodepool names are entirely arbitrary, you can choose whatever you want, but no special characters or underscore, and they must be unique; only alphanumeric characters and dashes are allowed.

  # If you want to have a single node cluster, have one control plane nodepools with a count of 1, and one agent nodepool with a count of 0.

  # Please note that changing labels and taints after the first run will have no effect. If needed, you can do that through Kubernetes directly.

  # ⚠️ When choosing ARM cax* server types, for the moment they are only available in fsn1.
  # Muli-architecture clusters are OK for most use cases, as container underlying images tend to be multi-architecture too.

  # Image and version of Kubernetes Cluster Autoscaler for Hetzner Cloud:
  #   - cluster_autoscaler_image: Image of Kubernetes Cluster Autoscaler for Hetzner Cloud to be used.
  #   - cluster_autoscaler_version: Version of Kubernetes Cluster Autoscaler for Hetzner Cloud. Should be aligned with Kubernetes version.
  #
  # Logging related arguments are managed using separate variables:
  #   - cluster_autoscaler_log_level: Controls the verbosity of logs (--v)
  #   - cluster_autoscaler_log_to_stderr: Determines whether to log to stderr (--logtostderr)
  #   - cluster_autoscaler_stderr_threshold: Sets the threshold for logs that go to stderr (--stderrthreshold)
  #
  # Example (using the default values):
  #
  # cluster_autoscaler_image = "registry.k8s.io/autoscaling/cluster-autoscaler"
  # cluster_autoscaler_version = "v1.26.2"
  # cluster_autoscaler_log_level = 4
  # cluster_autoscaler_log_to_stderr = true
  # cluster_autoscaler_stderr_threshold = "WARNING"

  # Additional Cluster Autoscaler binary configuration
  #
  # cluster_autoscaler_extra_args can be used for additional arguments. The default is an empty array.
  #
  # Please note that following arguments are managed by terraform-hcloud-kube-hetzner or the variables above and should not be set manually:
  #   - --v=${var.cluster_autoscaler_log_level}
  #   - --logtostderr=${var.cluster_autoscaler_log_to_stderr}

  # Let's say you are not using the control plane LB solution above, and still want to have one hostname point to all your control-plane nodes.
  # You could create multiple A records of to let's say cp.cluster.my.org pointing to all of your control-plane nodes ips.
  # In which case, you need to define that hostname in the k3s TLS-SANs config to allow connection through it. It can be hostnames or IP addresses.
  # additional_tls_sans = ["cp.cluster.my.org"]

  # lb_hostname Configuration:
  #
  # Purpose:
  # The lb_hostname setting optimizes communication between services within the Kubernetes cluster
  # when they use domain names instead of direct service names. By associating a domain name directly
  # with the Hetzner Load Balancer, this setting can help reduce potential communication delays.
  #
  # Scenario:
  # If Service B communicates with Service A using a domain (e.g., `a.mycluster.domain.com`) that points
  # to an external Load Balancer, there can be a slowdown in communication.
  #
  # Guidance:
  # - If your internal services use domain names pointing to an external LB, set lb_hostname to a domain
  #   like `mycluster.domain.com`.
  # - Create an A record pointing `mycluster.domain.com` to your LB's IP.
  # - Create a CNAME record for `a.mycluster.domain.com` (or xyz.com) pointing to `mycluster.domain.com`.
  #
  # Technical Note:
  # This setting sets the `load-balancer.hetzner.cloud/hostname` in the Hetzner LB definition, suitable for
  # both Nginx and Traefik ingress controllers.
  #
  # Recommendation:
  # This setting is optional. If services communicate using direct service names, you can leave this unset.
  # For inter-namespace communication, use `.service_name` as per Kubernetes norms.
  #
  # Example:
  # lb_hostname = "mycluster.domain.com"

  # You can enable Rancher (installed by Helm behind the scenes) with the following flag, the default is "false".
  # ⚠️ Rancher currently only supports Kubernetes v1.25 and earlier, you will need to set initial_k3s_channel to a supported version: https://github.com/rancher/rancher/issues/41113
  # When Rancher is enabled, it automatically installs cert-manager too, and it uses rancher's own self-signed certificates.
  # See for options https://rancher.com/docs/rancher/v2.0-v2.4/en/installation/resources/advanced/helm2/helm-rancher/#choose-your-ssl-configuration
  # The easiest thing is to leave everything as is (using the default rancher self-signed certificate) and put Cloudflare in front of it.
  # As for the number of replicas, by default it is set to the numbe of control plane nodes.
  # You can customized all of the above by adding a rancher_values variable see at the end of this file in the advanced section.
  # After the cluster is deployed, you can always use HelmChartConfig definition to tweak the configuration.
  # IMPORTANT: Rancher's install is quite memory intensive, you will require at least 4GB if RAM, meaning cx21 server type (for your control plane).
  # ALSO, in order for Rancher to successfully deploy, you have to set the "rancher_hostname".
  # enable_rancher = true

  # If using Rancher you can set the Rancher hostname, it must be unique hostname even if you do not use it.
  # If not pointing the DNS, you can just port-forward locally via kubectl to get access to the dashboard.
  # If you already set the lb_hostname above and are using a Hetzner LB, you do not need to set this one, as it will be used by default.
  # But if you set this one explicitly, it will have preference over the lb_hostname in rancher settings.
  # rancher_hostname = "rancher.xyz.dev"

  # When Rancher is deployed, by default is uses the "latest" channel. But this can be customized.
  # The allowed values are "stable" or "latest".
  # rancher_install_channel = "stable"

  # Finally, you can specify a bootstrap-password for your rancher instance. Minimum 48 characters long!
  # If you leave empty, one will be generated for you.
  # (Can be used by another rancher2 provider to continue setup of rancher outside this module.)
  # rancher_bootstrap_password = ""

  # Separate from the above Rancher config (only use one or the other). You can import this cluster directly on an
  # an already active Rancher install. By clicking "import cluster" choosing "generic", giving it a name and pasting
  # the cluster registration url below. However, you can also ignore that and apply the url via kubectl as instructed
  # by Rancher in the wizard, and that would register your cluster too.

There are some longhorn global settings that you can use to still allow for upgrades. It's because of the longhorn pdbs

[HendrikLevering]

Thanks for your reply. Yes that makes sense. Do you have a link to longhorn docs, where these settings are described? Or can you tell me which settings I have to look for?

[mysticaltech]

@HendrikLevering Where you able to solve this?

[HendrikLevering]

I still get stuck upgrades. I don't think that they are caused by longhorn anymore (that part is solved). Now I have problems with cloud native Postgres operator, which might get stuck if not stoppend gracefully: cloudnative-pg/cloudnative-pg#2842
In the k3s upgrade agent plan I see a drain:-force. That could cause trouble with cnpg. The other thing are os updates and node reboots. How is this handled? Is the node, that will be updated, drained gracefully or forced?

[Silvest89]

@HendrikLevering
It's handled by kured. drain/eviction of pods and reboot, until everything is done it won't reboot.

[HendrikLevering]

I tested a kured reboot of the Postgres primary node. The reboot wasn't stuck and the Postgres failover worked. I will test some more times in the next days to be confident that os related drains and reboots do not cause problems. I still suspect, that the k3s-upgrade plan with the drain:--force setting caused the problem.

[mysticaltech]

@HendrikLevering Thanks for the info, please keep us informed.

[HendrikLevering]

I am not 100 % sure, yet. I hit some volume attach /detach loop iscsi bug. Therefore I had to do manual intervention. I can tell after the next upgrade if it worked.

[pat-s]

Also encountered this just recently on the upgrade to 1.29.9. Seems to be a widespread issue: longhorn/longhorn#5910

[pat-s]

@HendrikLevering You can try setting the new system_upgrade_enable_eviction=false flag (#1338). This should evict the pods even if they have a PDB.

@mysticaltech Given the heavy use of longhorn here and the fact that its PDB prevents system-upgrade-controller from working currently (as longhorn-manager won't be evicted unless all replicas have been moved from the node (which again is not possible/working the way system-upgrade-controller is initializing the drain process), I was wondering if system_upgrade_enable_eviction=false should be made the default?

[mysticaltech]

@pat-s, if you can, please try it and report back 🙏

[pat-s]

In addition:

• spotting the upgrade job failing is pretty hard if you are not super familiar with system-upgrade-controller as the job is executed only once for 20 mins. Unless you know that you need to search for failed jobs in NS system-upgrade, you likely wait forever and wonder why the cluster is not upgraded.

• Most users making use of longhorn don't use more nodes than needed, i.e. there won't be X standby nodes available that can take all replicas of a specific node (which would be required for longhorn-manager to be evicted AFAICS). Not having a full standy node is not an issue because if there are 3 replicas on 3 nodes, loosing one node in a hard way isn't causing any issues. Yes, there are some dangerous settings within longhorn that one can set to allow evicting longhorn-manager pods without healthy/sufficient replicas, but if this is enabled, the risk is high that at some point all pods are evicted without a healthy replica left, leading to faulty volumes). Given the nodes are not removed during this action also means all replicas will stay on the local volume and will just be rediscovered one longhorn-manager is running again.

NB: I think the tag of the core team in your previous comment didn't work.

if you can, please try it and report back 🙏

ATM all of my clusters are already on latest stable (1.30.6) as I used a different manual variant to workaround the issue. But maybe somebody else still on 1.30.5 can report if that actually works - maybe @HendrikLevering or @Talinx?

[HendrikLevering]

Our cluster is running version 1.29.10. I run an up-to-date CNPG DB-cluster with node local volumes and node-drain-policy with value allow-if-replica-is-stopped. This setup is running stable for 2 month now. The cluster is updating the nodes flawlessly. No stuck jobs anymore.

[Talinx]

Our cluster is also on 1.29.10.

[pat-s]

If you're still on 1.29.10 then you're either not following the "stable" (1.30.6 right now) k3s channel (is initial_k3s_channel set to 1.29?) or your upgrade jobs don't work.

You can check if there are any failed ones with kubectl get job -n system-upgrade.
