Deployment of OpenShift Container Platform patterns V1.0.1.0 and IBM Cloud Pak patterns V1.0.1.0 fails due to change in RHEL version prerequisites

Troubleshooting


Problem

All OpenShift Container Platform (OCP) based  pattern deployment fails to complete the installation of OpenShift cluster.

Symptom

The impacted patterns are:

  • OpenShift Container Platform pattern - GlusterFS V1.0.1.0
  • OpenShift Container Platform with HA pattern - GlusterFS V1.0.1.0
  • IBM Cloud Pak for Application Platform pattern V1.0.1.0
  • IBM Cloud Pak for Cloud Integration Platform pattern V1.0.1.0
  • IBM Cloud Pak for Digital Business Automation pattern V1.0.1.0
  • IBM Cloud Pak for Multi Cloud Management pattern V1.0.1.0

These patterns are bundled with IBM Cloud Pak System V2.3.0.1. All these patterns were tested with openshift-ansible packages V3.11.104 and V3.10.127, and OpenShift docker images V3.11.104 and V3.10.127.

The deployment fails to complete when these patterns are deployed with the latest openshift-ansible packages (openshift-ansible-3.11.146 and latest) and OpenShift docker images (ose-ansible:v3.11.146 and latest).

The openshift-ansible.log file displays the following error message:

"msg": "The installed kernel version does not meet the required minimum for RHEL 7.6.\nPlease update the kernel before continuing.\nMinimum Kernel-Version: 3.10.0-957.27.2\nInstalled Kernel-Version: 3.10.0-957.21.3.el7.x86_64\nReference: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1749024\n"
