Summary

  • preserve the NICo Machine maintenance-mode implementation with its explicit fixture and mutation gates
  • add a focused Kubernetes implementation using the NVIDIA Maintenance Operator on a NICo/DSX datahall cluster
  • require an explicit node and ISVTEST_BREAKFIX_ALLOW_MUTATION=1; no node is selected automatically
  • create one uniquely owned pause workload and drain only that workload through drainSpec.podSelector
  • require current-generation Ready=True, one eviction, 100% drain progress, replacement blocking, and workload recovery
  • delete resources with server-side UID preconditions and fail the validation if cleanup or restoration cannot be proven
  • strengthen ReturnNodeMaintenanceCheck so request, maintenance state, node identity, and restoration evidence are mandatory

Kubernetes usage

KUBECTL="kubectl --context nv-prd-dgxc.teleport.sh-az51-dev4-dh1" \
ISVTEST_INCLUDE_UNRELEASED=1 \
ISVTEST_BREAKFIX_ALLOW_MUTATION=1 \
ISVTEST_BREAKFIX_NODE=<dedicated-test-node> \
uv run isvctl test run \
  -f isvctl/configs/providers/kubernetes-node-maintenance.yaml \
  --label breakfix --no-upload -- \
  -v -s -k ReturnNodeMaintenanceCheck

This uses the NICo/DSX machine as the environment while exercising the Kubernetes Maintenance Operator API. The existing nico/config/bare_metal.yaml path continues to exercise NICo REST.

Live validation

Focused execution on az51-dev4-dh1-cp-6022:

  • ReturnNodeMaintenanceCheck: PASSED
  • lifecycle observed independently: Pending -> Draining (evictionPods=1) -> Ready (drainProgress=100)
  • after cleanup: node Ready=True, unschedulable=false, zero active NodeMaintenance requests, and zero BFX01-02 Deployments/Pods
  • node UID and pre-existing Ready transition timestamp were unchanged

Repository validation:

  • focused and affected regression tests: 249 passed
  • focused configuration validation: passed
  • suite metadata validation: passed
  • plan coverage validation: passed
  • all pre-commit hooks: passed

Safety

The probe never drains pre-existing workloads. It targets only its own unique label, refuses an already cordoned or claimed node, and relies on the operator finalizer to restore schedulability. It never strips finalizers or manually uncordons a node during cleanup.

Closes #207.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to e17a3

The PR adds node-maintenance validation that creates and drains an isolated workload before restoring the node, but the configured 1,200-second budget may be shorter than the operation’s worst-case runtime; a timeout could stop cleanup while the node remains cordoned or the maintenance request remains active. Merge should wait for this timeout risk to be corrected or explicitly accepted.

Add a case for incomplete drain evidence.

Both end-to-end tests supply drainProgress: 100 and no waitForEviction, so the drain assertions in main() (script Lines 805-812) are only exercised on the passing path. Add one case where the operator reports Ready with drainProgress below 100 or a non-empty waitForEviction, and assert the run fails.

kubectl auth can-i returns status 1 and prints no when permission is denied. _run defaults to check=True, so it raises before the scoped message runs. Use check=False, but preserve a separate command error for other non-zero results, such as API connectivity failures.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

The step timeout is below the script's worst-case runtime, which risks leaving the node cordoned.

shared/breakfix/return_node_maintenance.py defaults --timeout-seconds to 300 and applies that budget to each sequential phase: initial probe readiness, NodeMaintenance Ready, evacuation and replacement blocking, NodeMaintenance deletion, node restoration, workload recovery, plus bounded probe cleanup. The worst case exceeds 1900 seconds, so this 1200 second step timeout can kill the process. The finally cleanup then never completes, and the NodeMaintenance object and the cordon remain on the target node.

Pass an explicit per-phase timeout that fits the step budget.

NVIDIA maintenance-operator NodeMaintenance v1alpha1 CRD status drain waitForEviction drainProgress conditions Ready RequestorFailed

💡 Result:

The NodeMaintenance v1alpha1 CRD in the NVIDIA Maintenance Operator (by Mellanox) manages the lifecycle of node maintenance operations, including cordoning and draining nodes [1][2]. The status of a NodeMaintenance resource provides visibility into these processes through specific fields and conditions [3]. Drain Status Details The status.drain field contains information about the node's draining progress [3][4]: - drainProgress: An int32 representing the percentage of completion for the node drain operation [3][5]. - waitForEviction: A list of namespaced pod names that are currently pending eviction [3][6]. - totalPods: The total number of pods on the node when the drain operation began [3]. - evictionPods: The number of pods that needed to be evicted when the drain operation began [3]. Conditions The status.conditions field uses standard Kubernetes meta/v1.Condition objects to represent the state of the maintenance [3][4]: - Ready: This condition is set to True when the node has been successfully drained and is ready for maintenance [1][2]. - RequestorFailed: This condition type is used by requestors to signal that a maintenance operation has failed [4][7]. If this condition is set to True, the controller may update the Ready condition with a MaintenanceFailed reason [7]. The maintenance workflow typically transitions through states: pending, scheduled, cordon, waitForPodCompletion, draining, and finally ready [1][4]. If a requestor reports a failure, the state can transition to requestorFailed [1][2].

site:github.com/Mellanox/maintenance-operator "type DrainStatus" "evictionPods" "drainProgress" "waitForEviction"

💡 Result:

The terms DrainStatus, evictionPods, drainProgress, and waitForEviction are components of the NodeMaintenance API used by the Mellanox/NVIDIA maintenance-operator [1][2], rather than standard Kubernetes core API fields. This operator is used to manage node maintenance operations, including cordoning and draining nodes. The DrainStatus object represents the current state of a node's draining process within the maintenance-operator. Its fields are defined as follows: - totalPods (int32): The total number of pods present on the node when the NodeMaintenance drain process began [1]. - evictionPods (int32): The total number of pods that are required to be evicted at the time the drain process started [1]. - drainProgress (int32): The current progress of the drain operation, expressed as a percentage [1]. - waitForEviction ([]string): A list of namespaced pod names that are currently waiting to be evicted [1].

🌐 Web query:

site:github.com/Mellanox/maintenance-operator "RequestorFailed" "MaintenanceFailed" NodeMaintenance API

💡 Result:

The terms RequestorFailed and MaintenanceFailed are associated with the NodeMaintenance API within the Mellanox/maintenance-operator project, which is used to manage node maintenance in Kubernetes environments [1]. Specifically, these terms function as follows: 1. RequestorFailed: This is a condition type within the NodeMaintenance API [1]. It allows a requestor (the entity initiating the maintenance) to report that a maintenance operation has failed [1]. 2. MaintenanceFailed: This is a reason assigned to the RequestorFailed condition when a maintenance operation fails [1]. Additionally, MaintenanceFailed can be used as a reason within the Ready condition of a node, indicating that the controller has identified a failure state after the RequestorFailed condition has been set to True [1]. These additions allow for better visibility into the status of maintenance operations, enabling both the requestor and the system controller to communicate and record failure states clearly [1].

Mellanox maintenance-operator api-reference.md NodeMaintenance Ready reason RequestorFailed MaintenanceFailed status conditions

💡 Result:

In the Mellanox maintenance-operator, the NodeMaintenance Custom Resource (CR) uses status conditions to track the lifecycle of a maintenance request. The specific conditions and reasons mentioned are part of the mechanism to report the success or failure of the maintenance operation by the requestor [1]. Ready Condition The Ready condition indicates whether the node is prepared for maintenance. The operator sets this condition to True once the node has been successfully cordoned and drained according to the provided specifications [2][3]. MaintenanceFailed Reason The maintenance-operator supports conveying failed maintenance operations through specific condition types and reasons [1]: RequestorFailed Condition: This condition type is intended to be set by requestors to indicate that the maintenance operation has failed [1]. MaintenanceFailed Reason (for RequestorFailed): When a requestor indicates failure, the reason MaintenanceFailed is associated with the RequestorFailed condition [1]. MaintenanceFailed Reason (for Ready): The controller will also set the Ready condition's reason to MaintenanceFailed if the Ready condition is present and the RequestorFailed condition is explicitly set to True [1]. In summary, when a maintenance operation fails, the RequestorFailed condition is used to signal this state, and the controller updates the Ready condition with the MaintenanceFailed reason to reflect that the process could not be completed successfully [1].

Mellanox maintenance-operator api-reference.md status.drain evictionPods drainProgress waitForEviction

💡 Result:

In the Mellanox maintenance-operator, the DrainStatus structure—documented in the api-reference.md file—tracks the progress of a node drain operation [1][2]. The fields specified in your query provide the following information regarding the state of a node undergoing maintenance: evictionPods: Represents the total number of pods that need to be evicted at the time the NodeMaintenance operation began [1][2]. drainProgress: Represents the draining progress expressed as an integer percentage [1][2]. waitForEviction: A list of namespaced pod names that are currently pending eviction [1][2]. These fields are part of the DrainStatus object, which is nested within the status field of the NodeMaintenance Custom Resource (CR) [1][2]. The NodeMaintenance CR is used to request and manage maintenance operations on specific Kubernetes nodes [3]. When a node is ready for maintenance, the operator updates the Ready condition to True [3]. The maintenance-operator is frequently used in conjunction with the NVIDIA Network Operator to prepare nodes for tasks such as firmware configuration [4][5].

Citations:


Use MaintenanceFailed for the failure reason. The drain fields are correctly nested under status.drain. RequestorFailed is a condition type, not the Ready condition reason; the failure reason is MaintenanceFailed. Replace the ready_reason == "RequestorFailed" check with MaintenanceFailed, or rely on the existing RequestorFailed=True check.
