When installing MAS Manage within an Openshift 4.5 on IBM Cloud (ROKS) environment, the build process fails to find available resources to allocate the ephemeral storage request, even if the cluster has ample resources available.
After deploying Manage on MAS, the build process hangs for an extended period of time, eventually failing with an error message similar to the following in the Openshift pod record:
“Warning FailedScheduling <unknown> default-scheduler 0/3 nodes are available: 3 Insufficient ephemeral-storage”.
Manage on Maximo Application Suite,
IBM Cloud (ROKS) OpenShift 4.5.
After deploying Manage on Maximo Application Suite, verify that the pod named "admin-build-config-1-build" stays in Pending state for an extended period of time, and in the Events tab an error similar to is logged:
“Warning FailedScheduling <unknown> default-scheduler 0/3 nodes are available: 3 Insufficient ephemeral-storage”.
By editing the ManageWorkspace Custom Resource, the user can alter the size of the ephemeral-storage allocation request to be 0Gi as a way to circumvent this issue.
Procedure
1. On the Openshift console, navigate to the ManageWorkspace Custom Resource. Under Administration, Custom Resource Definitions, filter for ManageWorkspace.
2. Under the Instances tab, look for the record associated with the user installation. The record name should follow the naming convention of {instanceId}-{workspaceId}.
3. Under the YAML tab, edit or insert the following section for the ephemeral-storage request to be explicitly 0Gi (required change in bold):

4. Save the YAML.
5. Wait for the operator to reconcile.
