Restarting nodes on kubernetes as the node status shows unknown

+2 votes

The status of the node is coming as unknown right now

"conditions": [
          {
            "type": "Ready",
            "status": "Unknown",
            "lastHeartbeatTime": "2015-11-12T06:03:19Z",
            "lastTransitionTime": "2015-11-12T06:04:03Z",
            "reason": "Kubelet stopped posting node status."
          }

kubectl get nodes shows that the node is not ready. How do I fix this?

Considering that the node was previously working and recently stopped showing the ready status restart you kubelet service. Just ssh into the affected node and execute:

/etc/init.d/kubelet restart

Back on your master node run kubectl get nodes to check if the node is working now

For further details, refer to the Kubernetes Course.

Delete the node and then create a node object with the name of the one that died, bounce your schedulers & controllers, and then delete the node object. This seems to allow the scheduler to pick a new, good, node

You can try moving the cluster to the new node pool got rid of the weird stuck pods. But this is not the best solution, probably a temporary solution.

I had faced a similar issue. In my case I had 10 nodes already up and running. I had created two new nodes and the status was stuck at unknown state. After a lot of research I figured I didnt have memory to deploy any more nodes. So in my case the memory was the issue. Try checking if you have sufficient memory.

I had a similar issue, but mine was a very stupid silly mistake, I had made. On my node machine I had forgotten to unstall Docker engine. But what I still dont get it, is how did that node manage to join the cluster with having docker engine running on it?
