using network plugins "cni": cni config unintialized; Skipping pod

10/20/2016

I created the kubernetes cluster by using kubeadm kubeadm init.

I am getting error messages in /var/log/messages.

The DNS pod is failing:

kube-system   kube-dns-2247936740-j5rtc        0/3       ContainerCreating   21         1h

If I disabled CNI, the DNS pod is running. But the issue for DNS persists.

The method to disable cni is to comment the KUBELET_NETWORK_ARGS line in /etc/systemd/system/kubelet.service.d/10-kubeadm.conf and restart kubelet service

followed by:

sudo systemctl restart kubelet

The cni intialization should be completed during kubelet initialization. So try reboot kubelet service and make sure that cni configuration can be parsed correctly.

I'm guessing that you forgot to setup the pod network.

From the documentation:

It is necessary to do this before you try to deploy any applications to your cluster, and before kube-dns will start up. Note also that kubeadm only supports CNI based networks and therefore kubenet based networks will not work.

You can install a pod network add-on with the following command:

kubectl apply -f <add-on.yaml>

Example:

kubectl create -f https://git.io/weave-kube

To install Weave Net add-on.

After you have done this, you might need to recreate kube-dns pod.
