In some cases, it is necessary to reinstall the K3S cluster on the appliances. On VELOS, there is a easy way to reinstall the Kubernetes cluster by creating the flag "touch /var/omd/CLUSTER_REINSTALL". Starting with the F50S-A 1.6.0 release, we extended this provision to rSeries appliances.
Existing tenants will be moved back to a Configured state and traffic will be interrupted. New tenants won't get deployed until the cluster is installed properly.
It is recommended to reinstall the cluster as the last measure if there are any issues with tenant deployment/running.
The cluster reinstall feature is usually the mitigation/workaround.
To initiate cluster reinstall, do: touch /var/omd/CLUSTER_REINSTALL (needs root access)
