What do I do if the openelb-manager Pod is stuck in pending state?

Symptom

During the installation of OpenELB, the openelb-manager Pod is stuck in pending state.

root@node1:~/openelb# kubectl get pod -n openelb-system
NAME                               READY   STATUS      RESTARTS   AGE
openelb-admission-create-m2p52     0/1     Completed   0          30s
openelb-admission-patch-qmvnq      0/1     Completed   0          30s
openelb-manager-74c5467674-pgtmh   0/1     Pending     0          30s

Possible Cause

OpenELB uses port 443 by default. If another component in the system has occupied port 443, the openelb-manager Pod will be stuck in pending state.

Solution

Perform the following steps to change port 443 of OpenELB. The namespace in the commands is only an example.

1. Run the following command to edit the openelb-manager Deployment:

   kubectl edit deployment openelb-manager -n openelb-system
   

2. Change port 443 to a different value (for example, 30443) to avoid the port conflict:

   spec:
     template:
       spec:
         containers:
         - args:
           - --webhook-port=443 # Change the port number.
           ports:
           - containerPort: 443 # Change the port number.
             hostPort: 443 # Change the port number.
   

3. Run the following command to check whether the status of openelb-manager is READY: 1/1 and STATUS: Running. If yes, OpenELB has been installed successfully.

   root@node1:~/openelb# kubectl get pod -n openelb-system
   NAME                               READY   STATUS      RESTARTS   AGE
   openelb-admission-create-m2p52     0/1     Completed   0          7m22s
   openelb-admission-patch-qmvnq      0/1     Completed   0          7m22s
   openelb-manager-74c5467674-pgtmh   1/1     Running     0          30s
