Checking Hardware

Check whether the hardware can run Kata Containers using the kata-runtime kata-check command. This requires a running Kubernetes deployment.

  1. Start an administration console on a worker node.

    Some operations described in this and later steps must be run directly on a worker node, using an administration console. You can start an administration console on any Kubernetes node using the ocne cluster console command. The syntax is:

    ocne cluster console 
    [{-d|--direct}]
    {-N|--node} nodename
    [{-t|--toolbox}]
    [-- command] 

    For more information on the syntax options, see Oracle Cloud Native Environment: CLI.

    Start an administration console on any worker node, chrooted to the root of the node's file system. Run the following command, replacing ocne-worker-1 with the name of a worker node:

    ocne cluster console --direct --node ocne-worker-1
  2. Run the kata-check command on the worker node.

    At the administration console prompt on the worker node, run the following command:

    sudo kata-runtime kata-check

    For more information on using the kata-runtime command, use the kata-runtime --help command.

  3. Exit the administration console on the worker node.

    Exit the administration console on the worker node by typing exit at the console prompt.

    exit
