Local NSMgr restart

This example shows that NSM keeps working after the local NSMgr restart.

NSC and NSE are using the kernel mechanism to connect to its local forwarder. Forwarders are using the vxlan mechanism to connect with each other.

Requires

Make sure that you have completed steps from basic or memory setup.

Run

Create test namespace:

NAMESPACE=($(kubectl create -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/networkservicemesh/deployments-k8s/c89573ec0f82ee02c425c43da72b026397cb52fc/examples/heal/namespace.yaml)[0])
NAMESPACE=${NAMESPACE:10}

Get nodes exclude control-plane:

NODES=($(kubectl get nodes -o go-template='{{range .items}}{{ if not .spec.taints  }}{{index .metadata.labels "kubernetes.io/hostname"}} {{end}}{{end}}'))

Create customization file:

cat > kustomization.yaml <<EOF
---
apiVersion: kustomize.config.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: Kustomization

namespace: ${NAMESPACE}

Deploy NSC and NSE:

kubectl apply -k .

Wait for applications ready:

kubectl wait --for=condition=ready --timeout=1m pod -l app=nsc-kernel -n ${NAMESPACE}

kubectl wait --for=condition=ready --timeout=1m pod -l app=nse-kernel -n ${NAMESPACE}

Find NSC and NSE pods by labels:

NSC=$(kubectl get pods -l app=nsc-kernel -n ${NAMESPACE} --template '{{range .items}}{{.metadata.name}}{{"\n"}}{{end}}')

NSE=$(kubectl get pods -l app=nse-kernel -n ${NAMESPACE} --template '{{range .items}}{{.metadata.name}}{{"\n"}}{{end}}')

Ping from NSC to NSE:

kubectl exec ${NSC} -n ${NAMESPACE} -- ping -c 4 172.16.1.100

Ping from NSE to NSC:

kubectl exec ${NSE} -n ${NAMESPACE} -- ping -c 4 172.16.1.101

Find local NSMgr pod:

NSMGR=$(kubectl get pods -l app=nsmgr --field-selector spec.nodeName==${NODES[0]} -n nsm-system --template '{{range .items}}{{.metadata.name}}{{"\n"}}{{end}}')

Restart local NSMgr and wait for it to start:

kubectl delete pod ${NSMGR} -n nsm-system

kubectl wait --for=condition=ready --timeout=1m pod -l app=nsmgr --field-selector spec.nodeName==${NODES[0]} -n nsm-system

Ping from NSC to NSE:

kubectl exec ${NSC} -n ${NAMESPACE} -- ping -c 4 172.16.1.100

Ping from NSE to NSC:

kubectl exec ${NSE} -n ${NAMESPACE} -- ping -c 4 172.16.1.101

Cleanup

Delete ns:

kubectl delete ns ${NAMESPACE}
