[ICN-614] Network config cannot be renamed when deploying ovn4nfv as a secondary CNI with Multus

Thu, 28 Oct 2021 16:24:40 +0000

The ovn4nfv is deployed as a secondary CNI along with multus. The steps used and the issue observed are as follows,

Deploy the flannel as primary CNI in the k8s cluster.
Deploy the multus CNI. After this the CNI files installed in the host are as below, $ ls /etc/cni/net.d/
00-multus.conf 10-flannel.conflist multus.d
Deploy the ovn4nfv CNI. Now the folder "/etc/cni/net.d/" has the following files,folders
00-multus.conf 00-network.conf 10-flannel.conflist multus.d ovn4nfv-k8s.d
$ sudo cat /etc/cni/net.d/00-multus.conf

{ "cniVersion": "0.3.1", "name": "multus-cni-network", "type": "multus", "kubeconfig": "/etc/cni/net.d/multus.d/multus.kubeconfig", "delegates": [ { "name": "ovn4nfv-k8s-plugin", "type": "ovn4nfvk8s-cni", "cniVersion": "0.3.1" }
] }*

$ sudo cat /etc/cni/net.d/00-network.conf
{
"name": "ovn4nfv-k8s-plugin",
"type": "ovn4nfvk8s-cni",
"cniVersion": "0.3.1"
}

The ovn4nfv network conf is installed (alphabetically) before the flannel network configuration and the multus has the configuration of ovn4nfv (instead of flannel).

Due to this issue, the new pods are assigned the IP address from the ovn4nfv subnet as below,

The issue seems to be with the "entrypoint" file where the filename for the network.conf is fixed to 00-network.conf

OVN4NFV_NET_CONF_FILE="/tmp/ovn4nfv-cni/00-network.conf"

CNI_CONF_DIR="/host/etc/cni/net.d"

cp -f $OVN4NFV_NET_CONF_FILE $CNI_CONF_DIR
