* Correcting Openshift on IBM Documentation Error I have to admit to some significant error and embarrassment regarding the documentation update about Openshift on IBM Cloud pull request https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/pull/8069. I will correct my error before it gets any further. Just exposing /var/data/kubelet/pods is incorrect and host path /var/lib/kubelet/pods should remain unchanged. The errors with the defaults during csi snapshot data movement were: data path backup failed: Failed to run kopia backup: unable to get local block device entry: resolveSymlink: lstat /var/data/: no such file or directory I suspected this was the same as RancherOS and Nutanix. It is not. The original tested changes changed both /var/lib/kubelet/{pods,plugins} to /var/data/kubelet/{pods,plugins}. The published changes only result in the error: ``` status: completionTimestamp: '2024-08-02T17:12:29Z' message: >- data path backup failed: Failed to run kopia backup: unable to get local block device entry: resolveSymlink: lstat /var/data/kubelet/plugins: no such file or directory node: 10.240.0.5 phase: Failed progress: {} startTimestamp: '2024-08-02T17:12:11Z' ``` After making continued modifications to the daemonset the correct configuration was: ``` volumeMounts: - name: host-pods mountPath: /host_pods mountPropagation: HostToContainer - name: host-plugins mountPath: /var/data/kubelet/plugins mountPropagation: HostToContainer ``` ``` volumes: - name: host-pods hostPath: path: /var/lib/kubelet/pods type: '' - name: host-plugins hostPath: path: /var/data/kubelet/plugins type: '' ``` Only the changes to the plugin path were required. The plugin path changes were required to both the mount path and the host path. Regardless of whether /var/lib/kubelet/pods or /var/data/kubelet/pods host path, backups and restore succeeded provided the plugin path was modified. ``` volumeMounts: - name: host-pods mountPath: /host_pods mountPropagation: HostToContainer - name: host-plugins mountPath: /var/data/kubelet/plugins mountPropagation: HostToContainer ``` ``` volumes: - name: host-pods hostPath: path: /var/data/kubelet/pods type: '' - name: host-plugins hostPath: path: /var/data/kubelet/plugins type: '' ``` After getting on-host access was able to confirm. Pods are at /var/lib/kubelet/pods. ``` ls /var/lib/kubelet/pods 07c0be63-335d-4cfb-b39f-816bc2fb32cd 51f31b3e-4710-4ef0-8626-5f1a78a624b2 a4802fd3-3b62-45a4-8f21-974880b6f92a cccb35c9-b4f9-4ca9-a697-736ae64f09ad 0a5d4366-7fa1-4525-9e45-a43a362b8542 558b0643-0661-4d4a-b03e-aac60c6ad710 a4b106fb-5b7b-48e5-828a-ea7b41ba0e59 ce1290e1-4330-4df6-8166-14784bcce930 ``` On host the volumes are in /var/data/kubelet/plugins. ``` ls /var/data/kubelet/plugins/kubernetes.io/csi/openshift-storage.cephfs.csi.ceph.com/231e04896c4f528efb95d23a3c153db9fc4a7206b7320f74443f30de7228dba5/globalmount/velero/backups/backup-resources-41d84d16-47a7-4ea8-a9cb-6348d01bcb2c/ backup-resources-41d84d16-47a7-4ea8-a9cb-6348d01bcb2c-csi-volumesnapshotclasses.json.gz backup-resources-41d84d16-47a7-4ea8-a9cb-6348d01bcb2c-resource-list.json.gz backup-resources-41d84d16-47a7-4ea8-a9cb-6348d01bcb2c-csi-volumesnapshotcontents.json.gz backup-resources-41d84d16-47a7-4ea8-a9cb-6348d01bcb2c-results.gz backup-resources-41d84d16-47a7-4ea8-a9cb-6348d01bcb2c-csi-volumesnapshots.json.gz backup-resources-41d84d16-47a7-4ea8-a9cb-6348d01bcb2c-volumesnapshots.json.gz backup-resources-41d84d16-47a7-4ea8-a9cb-6348d01bcb2c-itemoperations.json.gz backup-resources-41d84d16-47a7-4ea8-a9cb-6348d01bcb2c.tar.gz backup-resources-41d84d16-47a7-4ea8-a9cb-6348d01bcb2c-logs.gz velero-backup.json backup-resources-41d84d16-47a7-4ea8-a9cb-6348d01bcb2c-podvolumebackups.json.gz ``` With the volume config changed to expose /var/data/kubelet/plugins for the plugin hostPath, the DataUploads and DataDownloads succeed for both Filesystem and Block mode PVCs. ``` status: completionTimestamp: '2024-08-02T17:23:33Z' node: 10.240.0.5 path: >- /host_pods/7fcb9d56-7885-437c-acd3-67db6b1ee8ae/volumeDevices/kubernetes.io~csi/pvc-47b91f56-db8c-44bf-9ecc-737170561b4b phase: Completed progress: bytesDone: 5368709120 totalBytes: 5368709120 snapshotID: 8faae36b3592fee4efbfad024f26033e startTimestamp: '2024-08-02T17:21:22Z' ``` ``` status: completionTimestamp: '2024-08-02T18:42:19Z' node: 10.240.0.5 phase: Completed progress: bytesDone: 5368709120 totalBytes: 5368709120 startTimestamp: '2024-08-02T18:41:00Z' ``` My apologies for the error.
