This page currently only covers the set up for SDN-C clustering on single node Kubernetes.

About the SDN-C Clustering

The following diagram illustrates the desired SDN-C cluster deployment in this page(as described in 

• 2 DB pods
• 3 SDN-C sdnc (ODL) pods
• 2 1 admin (portal) podspod
• 1 dgbuilder pod

SDN-C DB Clustering details

See details from SDN-C DB (MySQL) Clustered Deployment.

Deployment Setup Steps

• Deployment with Kubernetes Cluster Configured by Rancher or
• Deploying Kubernetes Cluster with kubeadm

Additional Information

SDN-C Startup Order

Troubleshoot SDN-C pods are not start up in order

Usually, this is caused by init-container malfuntion. You can troubleshoot it by the following steps:

• Do a describe of the pod using command kubectl describe pod <pod-name>, to ensure the Init Container section is presented as your defined in your yaml template.

• If it does not exist, it is possible that your Kubernetes version supports a different format for the init-containers:

  init-containers syntax supported by Kubernetes 1.5, 1.6 and 1.7 and not supported by Kubernetes 1.8 and greater

  initContainers syntax supported from Kubernetes 1.6 and greater

Restart Dead Instance (start a new one in its place)

When a pod is dead, Kubernetes automatically starts a new one to replace the dead pod.
