Recovering pods

Use this information to recover a pod.

About this task

When a first node (for example NODE1) goes to NotReady state because of some issue, the hosted pods that are using PVC with ReadWriteOnce (RWO) access mode try to move to the second node (for example NODE2) but get stuck due to multi-attach error. In such a case, you can recover MON, OSD, and application pods by using the following steps.

Procedure

  1. Power off NODE1 (from AWS or vSphere side) and ensure that NODE1 is completely down.
  2. Force delete the pods on NODE1 by using the following command: 
    oc delete pod <pod-name> --grace-period=0 --force
