$ oc expose -n kubevirt-hyperconverged deployment/secondary-dns --name=dns-lb \
--type=LoadBalancer --port=53 --target-port=5353 --protocol='UDP'
You can access a virtual machine (VM) that is attached to a secondary network interface from outside the cluster by using its fully qualified domain name (FQDN).
Accessing a VM from outside the cluster by using its FQDN is a Technology Preview feature only. Technology Preview features are not supported with Red Hat production service level agreements (SLAs) and might not be functionally complete. Red Hat does not recommend using them in production. These features provide early access to upcoming product features, enabling customers to test functionality and provide feedback during the development process. For more information about the support scope of Red Hat Technology Preview features, see Technology Preview Features Support Scope. |
The Cluster Network Addons Operator (CNAO) deploys a Domain Name Server (DNS) server and monitoring components when you enable the deployKubeSecondaryDNS
feature gate in the HyperConverged
custom resource (CR).
You installed the OpenShift CLI (oc
).
You configured a load balancer for the cluster.
You logged in to the cluster with cluster-admin
permissions.
Create a load balancer service to expose the DNS server outside the cluster by running the oc expose
command according to the following example:
$ oc expose -n kubevirt-hyperconverged deployment/secondary-dns --name=dns-lb \
--type=LoadBalancer --port=53 --target-port=5353 --protocol='UDP'
Retrieve the external IP address by running the following command:
$ oc get service -n kubevirt-hyperconverged
NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE
dns-lb LoadBalancer 172.30.27.5 10.46.41.94 53:31829/TCP 5s
Edit the HyperConverged
CR in your default editor by running the following command:
$ oc edit hyperconverged kubevirt-hyperconverged -n kubevirt-hyperconverged
Enable the DNS server and monitoring components according to the following example:
apiVersion: hco.kubevirt.io/v1beta1
kind: HyperConverged
metadata:
name: kubevirt-hyperconverged
namespace: kubevirt-hyperconverged
spec:
featureGates:
deployKubeSecondaryDNS: true
kubeSecondaryDNSNameServerIP: "10.46.41.94" (1)
# ...
1 | Specify the external IP address exposed by the load balancer service. |
Save the file and exit the editor.
Retrieve the cluster FQDN by running the following command:
$ oc get dnses.config.openshift.io cluster -o jsonpath='{.spec.baseDomain}'
openshift.example.com
Point to the DNS server by using one of the following methods:
Add the kubeSecondaryDNSNameServerIP
value to the resolv.conf
file on your local machine.
Editing the |
Add the kubeSecondaryDNSNameServerIP
value and the cluster FQDN to the enterprise DNS server records. For example:
vm.<FQDN>. IN NS ns.vm.<FQDN>.
ns.vm.<FQDN>. IN A 10.46.41.94
You can access a running virtual machine (VM) attached to a secondary network interface by using the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the cluster.
You installed the QEMU guest agent on the VM.
The IP address of the VM is public.
You configured the DNS server for secondary networks.
You retrieved the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the cluster.
Retrieve the network interface name from the VM configuration by running the following command:
$ oc get vm -n <namespace> <vm_name> -o yaml
apiVersion: kubevirt.io/v1
kind: VirtualMachine
metadata:
name: example-vm
namespace: example-namespace
spec:
running: true
template:
spec:
domain:
devices:
interfaces:
- bridge: {}
name: example-nic
# ...
networks:
- multus:
networkName: bridge-conf
name: example-nic (1)
1 | Note the name of the network interface. |
Connect to the VM by using the ssh
command:
$ ssh <user_name>@<interface_name>.<vm_name>.<namespace>.vm.<cluster_fqdn>
