Migrating from RPM to Kubernetes: Waiting for multi-user.target in wrong namespace

[thothonegan]

Once the pod is started up, it monitors the pod till systemd starts up. However, it doesn't set a namespace - causing it to not detect the pod is started if we install into the namespace 'uyuni'.

Debug output: previous commands use the namespace 'uyuni' properly

If running the command manually (first the one its sending, second if i fix the namespace manually)

❯ kubectl exec uyuni-55976f4bcb-5bdm9 -- systemctl is-active -q multi-user.target
Error from server (NotFound): pods "uyuni-55976f4bcb-5bdm9" not found

❯ kubectl -n uyuni exec uyuni-55976f4bcb-5bdm9 -- systemctl is-active -q multi-user.target
Defaulted container "uyuni" out of: uyuni, init-var-cobbler (init), init-var-salt (init), init-var-pgsql (init), init-var-cache (init), init-var-log (init), init-srv-salt (init), init-srv-www (init), init-srv-tftpboot (init), init-srv-formulametadata (init), init-srv-pillar (init), init-srv-susemanager (init), init-srv-spacewalk (init), init-root (init), init-etc-apache2 (init), init-etc-rhn (init), init-etc-systemd-multi (init), init-etc-systemd-sockets (init), init-etc-salt (init), init-etc-tomcat (init), init-etc-cobbler (init), init-etc-sysconfig (init), init-etc-postfix (init), init-etc-sssd (init)

Workaround: kubectl config set-context --current --namespace=uyuni
prior to running the migration.

Environment:

• Harvester cluster with 3 nodes using longhorn
• RKE2 cluster on top of openSUSE MicroOS
• Manually created volumes to have some use different storage classes

Migration command:
mgradm migrate kubernetes uyuni.i.hackerguild.com --helm-uyuni-namespace uyuni --helm-uyuni-values values.yaml --logLevel debug

values.yaml

storageClass: "-"
matchPvByLabel: true
ingress: nginx

Hello. Thanks for trying it out and reporting issues. I know there are issues with migration to kubernetes and I am currently heavily refactoring it. This issue though may be addressed by PR #420

[cbosdo]

@rjpmestre Could you take a look?

[rjpmestre]

@cbosdo , @thothonegan yes, i can confirm this migration scenario is covered on #420
