- Around line 39-43: Rename the OvnNorth and OvnSouth sections to the
case-sensitive ovnnorth and ovnsouth names, update the corresponding awk
selectors in the node DaemonSet, and remove the relay workaround so ovnkube uses
the configured TCP addresses directly.
In `@assets/components/ovn/multi-node/node/daemonset.yaml`:
- Around line 232-233: Remove the `|| true` fallback from the `ovs-vsctl`
command that sets `external_ids:ovn-remote` in the worker daemon configuration.
Allow command failures to propagate so the container exits and the DaemonSet
restarts it instead of continuing with a stale value.
- Line 211: Update the worker-detection condition near SB_ADDR and K8S_NODE_IP
to extract the host portion from SB_ADDR and compare it for exact equality,
avoiding substring matches such as 10.0.0.1 versus 10.0.0.10. Preserve the
existing primary/worker branch behavior while ensuring workers start the relay
and refresh ovn-remote.
- Around line 87-91: Update the stale-PID cleanup around the ovn-controller
pid-file handling to verify that OLD_PID belongs to an ovn-controller process
before sending any signal. Preserve the existing cleanup for the confirmed
process, but skip termination when the PID has been reused by an unrelated host
process.
In `@pkg/components/networking.go`:
- Around line 121-122: Secure the OVN_NB_PORT and OVN_SB_PORT remotes used in
multinode mode by switching the published and master DaemonSet endpoints from
unauthenticated tcp/ptcp to authenticated TLS (pssl/ssl), or enforce firewall
rules limiting access to the cluster node network. Keep the advertised ports and
OVN connectivity functional while ensuring unauthorized hosts cannot read or
modify the OVN databases.
In `@pkg/node/kubelet.go`:
- Around line 92-94: Update the kubelet initialization flow around
BootstrapKubeConfigExists and kubeletFlags.NodeLabels to reconcile
node.microshift.io/role=primary onto an already-existing primary Node, not only
during new Node registration. Ensure upgraded primary Nodes receive the label so
the ovnkube-master selector can schedule, while preserving the existing
bootstrap labeling behavior.

ovn-kubernetes ovnkube.conf config file OvnNorth OvnSouth section address field format
💡 Result:
In the ovn-kubernetes configuration file (ovnkube.conf), the address field within the [ovnnorth] and [ovnsouth] sections uses a format that specifies the connection protocol followed by the IP address and port [1][2]. The standard format is: address=:<ip_address>: Common examples include: - For SSL/TLS connections: address=ssl:1.2.3.4:6641 [1][2] - For plain TCP connections: address=tcp:1.2.3.4:6641 [3] In these sections, the address defines the connection point for the OVN Northbound and Southbound database APIs, respectively [1][2]. When SSL is used, additional fields in the same section are required to specify client and server private keys, certificates, and CA certificates [1][2].

site:github.com/openshift/ovn-kubernetes ovnkube config parser ovnnorth ovnsouth OvnNorth OvnSouth config.go
💡 Result:
In the ovn-kubernetes project, the configuration for OVN Northbound and Southbound databases is handled primarily within the go-controller/pkg/config/config.go file [1][2][3]. The structures OvnNorth and OvnSouth define the parameters required to connect to these databases, including database locations, run directories, and SSL/TLS authentication details [1]. Key configuration details include: Structure Definitions: Both OvnNorth and OvnSouth are instances of the OvnAuthConfig struct [1]. This struct contains fields such as Address, ClientPrivKey, ClientCert, ClientCACert, ServerPrivKey, ServerCert, ServerCACert, RunDir, and DbLocation [1][4]. Configuration Sources: - Configuration File: Options are parsed from a configuration file (defaulting to /etc/openvswitch/ovn_k8s.conf) under the [ovnnorth] and [ovnsouth] sections [4][5][6]. - Command-Line Arguments: The project allows command-line arguments to override settings defined in the configuration file [4][5]. Usage: - The [ovnnorth] and [ovnsouth] sections specify the database connection addresses and, if SSL is used, the necessary certificate paths [4]. - The DbLocation field specifies the path to the database files, while RunDir specifies the directory for OVN runtime files [1]. These structures and parsing logic allow the ovnkube executable to properly initialize connections to the OVN databases, which is essential for managing OVN resources within the Kubernetes cluster [4][7].

🌐 Web query:
github openshift ovn-kubernetes go-controller/pkg/config/config.go config.ReadConfig ovnnorth section case sensitive
💡 Result:
In the ovn-kubernetes configuration, the section header [ovnnorth] (and [ovnsouth]) is case-sensitive when defined in the configuration file [1][2][3][4]. The ovn-kubernetes project uses the gcfg library to parse these configuration files [5][6], which adheres to standard INI-style section naming conventions where identifiers are typically case-sensitive. In the official configuration documentation and example files, the section is consistently represented in lowercase as [ovnnorth] [1][7][8][4]. Using incorrect casing, such as [OvnNorth], will result in the configuration parser failing to recognize the section, causing the options contained within it (such as address, client-cert, etc.) to be ignored or remain unset, as they will not be correctly mapped to the OvnNorth struct defined in go-controller/pkg/config/config.go [5][9]. If you are encountering issues where settings in the [ovnnorth] section are not taking effect, verify that your configuration file uses the exact lowercase [ovnnorth] header [1][4].

Rename the OVN database sections and remove the relay workaround.
ovn-kubernetes requires case-sensitive [ovnnorth] and [ovnsouth] sections. The current mixed-case names leave the address= values unset. Rename both sections, update the matching awk selectors in the node DaemonSet, and let ovnkube use the TCP addresses directly.

The stale-PID cleanup can kill an unrelated host process.
This container runs with hostPID: true. OLD_PID is read from a pid file that may be stale after a node reboot or a container restart. Linux reuses PIDs, so the value can belong to an unrelated host process. kill "${OLD_PID}" then terminates that process.
Confirm the process is ovn-controller before you send the signal.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔴 Critical | ⚡ Quick win
The worker detection uses a substring match and can misclassify a worker as the primary.
[[ "${SB_ADDR}" != *"${K8S_NODE_IP}"* ]] matches anywhere in the string. If the primary IP is 10.0.0.10 and the worker IP is 10.0.0.1, the substring 10.0.0.1 is found in tcp:10.0.0.10:9642. The worker then takes the else branch. No relay starts, ovn-remote stays stale, and pod networking on that worker fails silently.
Compare the host portion exactly.

Do not swallow the ovn-remote failure on a worker.
|| true hides an ovs-vsctl failure. If the command fails, ovn-remote keeps its previous value. The ovn-controller container then either waits forever or connects to the wrong database, and no log line reports the cause. Fail the container instead so the DaemonSet restarts it.

Reconcile the primary label on existing Nodes.
kubeletFlags.NodeLabels applies during new Node registration. Kubelet does not apply this custom label when an existing Node is found. The multi-node ovnkube-master DaemonSet selects node.microshift.io/role=primary, so an upgraded primary Node can remain unlabeled and leave the DaemonSet unscheduled.

… on workers In MicroShift multinode mode both nodes carry node-role.kubernetes.io/master, so ovnkube-master ran on all nodes — each started its own isolated OVN RAFT cluster with no knowledge of the other node. Two fixes: 1. pkg/node/kubelet.go: the primary node (identified by the absence of a bootstrap kubeconfig) receives the label node.microshift.io/role=primary at kubelet startup. This distinguishes the primary from workers for other consumers without changing the DaemonSet topology. 2. assets/components/ovn/multi-node/master/daemonset.yaml: the sbdb and nbdb containers now detect whether they are running on a worker node by reading the [OvnSouth]/[OvnNorth] address from the mounted ovnkube.conf. When the address points to a different host, they pass --db-sb-cluster-remote-addr (--db-nb-cluster-remote-addr) to join the primary's existing RAFT cluster instead of starting a new one. Each node then gets a local unix socket connected to the shared replicated database — no application-level TCP connection needed from ovnkube-node or ovn-controller.

…nodes Commit 8a0f4f2 removed --nb-address/--sb-address from ovnkube --init-node, which were the only mechanism pointing worker nodes at the primary's NB/SB databases. After that removal ovnkube fell back to local unix sockets that do not exist on workers, leaving each node with an isolated OVN RAFT cluster. The replacement per upstream OVN-K design is the config file: adding [OvnNorth]/[OvnSouth] stanzas with the primary's TCP addresses to ovnkube.conf so the binary can connect to the remote databases without explicit CLI flags. Three related fixes: 1. ovnkube.conf (configmap): in multinode mode add [OvnNorth]/[OvnSouth] stanzas with the primary's IP and NB/SB port. The sbdb/nbdb containers also use these addresses to discover the primary RAFT cluster to join. 2. networking.go — configmap guard: only the primary writes the ovnkube-config ConfigMap. A worker writing it would overwrite the correct primary IP with its own, breaking SBDB connectivity and RAFT join for all nodes. 3. networking.go — passes MultiNodeEnabled render param so the configmap template can conditionally emit the stanzas.

Summary
Fixes broken OVN multinode pod networking introduced by PR #6912 (June 2026), which removed `--nb-address`/`--sb-address` from `ovnkube --init-node` during a nightly rebase. Without those flags, worker nodes fall back to local unix sockets that don't exist on workers, causing each node to form an isolated OVN RAFT cluster — no geneve tunnels form and all cross-node pod traffic is silently dropped.
Root cause
`commit 8a0f4f2` removed deprecated CLI flags that were the sole mechanism for pointing worker nodes at the primary's NB/SB databases:
```diff
```
The upstream OVN-K design intends the config file (`[OvnNorth]`/`[OvnSouth]` stanzas in `ovnkube.conf`) to replace these flags. This PR implements that design in MicroShift.
Note: the `ovnkube` binary in the current container image does not yet parse `address=` from the `[OvnNorth]`/`[OvnSouth]` INI sections correctly (gcfg error: `can't store data at section "OvnSouth", variable "address"`). A fix is needed upstream in OVN-K to restore `Address string \`gcfg:"address"\`` in `OvnAuthConfig`, so the config-file mechanism actually works end-to-end for workers.
Two commits
1. Label primary node / restrict master DaemonSet
Both nodes carry `node-role.kubernetes.io/master`, so `ovnkube-master` (which includes the full SBDB/NBDB/northd stack) was scheduled on every node. Each node started its own isolated OVN RAFT cluster with no knowledge of the other.
2. Add SBDB/NBDB addresses to `ovnkube.conf` and guard worker writes
