Verify the cluster
Run these after the last node has joined and storage is set up. Each line says what a healthy answer looks like.
| Check | Command | Healthy |
|---|---|---|
| Ready | stratumctl admin readiness |
Exit 0. No blocking finding. Warnings name only what you chose to skip, such as operator images. |
| Members | stratumctl admin cluster members list |
Every node active, none joining or failed. |
| Nodes | stratumctl nodes list |
Every node ready, with a recent last-seen. |
| Substrate | stratumctl admin selfcheck |
Exit 0. Its cluster HA check covers Postgres, OpenBao, OVN and the service addresses on every node, and its PKI check that every node trusts one cluster CA. |
| Versions | stratumctl admin doctor |
Every component supported, and the OVN central and ovn-controller versions match. |
| Reconcilers | stratumctl admin reconcilers fleet |
converged, or disabled for services that wait for the object gateway. |
| Ceph | curl -s "$API/v1/admin/storage/ceph/status" -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" |
HEALTH_OK, every OSD up and in, all placement groups active and clean. |
| Storage | stratumctl storage-classes list |
A default class, and the ceph-rbd class. |
| Images | stratumctl images list |
An active image. |
The three Postgres, OpenBao and OVN clusters each show one leader and the other members following. The cluster at a glance shows how to read them.
Launch an instance
Section titled “Launch an instance”The end-to-end check creates a VPC, subnet, security group, key pair and an instance from an existing image in the project, waits for it to run, and deletes everything:
stratumctl admin selfcheck --tenant --project p-systemBefore you hand it over
Section titled “Before you hand it over”- Revoke the join code if it is still live.
- Configure a platform backup. Without it the cluster’s certificate authority exists in one place.
- Set an alert channel.
- Choose a new admin password at first sign-in, and
give a second person
platform-admin. - Reboot one node and watch the cluster return to READY: see shutdown and reboot.
