hello folks, I new to harvester i just want to know if my harvesterhci will crash by any scenario can i recover it (if yes how), and it will damage my running vm inside the harvester or not thank you

Is installation of Rancher on Harvester cluster officially supported now or still highly recommended to install Rancher on its own K8S cluster? I really like the fact that I don’t have to setup external ingress for it when installed on Harvester cluster. Thank you.

Or Does Rancher comes as ISO like Harvester with integrated ingress controller? Wish list. Lol!

In the past I had to use haproxy for LB on a separate server outside the K8s cluster. Will the master nodes use MetalLB to LB if I install it in one the master node?

hello folks, i started experimenting with Harvester and got d feeling that is a perfect product, at least d idea is realy great, however, i am facing some technical issues such as " Handler disconnected, when i started the management UI and could not find further details to do troubleshooting my self !, is any one of you kind enough and can provide me with some usefully hints, I would be very thank full.

am running V 1.1.1-rc2,, get Node Status ready soon and almost always but mngt url takes long time 2 get raedy & sometimes does not get ready. moreover, when i added the 1st node(Host) physical Machine), k3s connection to mngt Node refused. 🤕🤯

Hi, I need some advice. I am running a EKS cluster in AWS that has Rancher v2.7.0 running. Trying to add a harvester cluster under "Virtualization Management" and the cluster never checks in. Harvester V1.1.1 This previously worked with a harveter cluster v1.0.3 and Rancher V2.6.7.

Is harvester 1.1.1 and rancher 2.7.0 compatible?

Harvster was a fresh install

Hi, I tried installing Harvester v1.1.0 now. Same config as V1.1.1 and it installs fine, however it is stuck on "Setting up Harvester" Any advice? Mangement comes up and I can access the node with SSH, I see networking looks goo, VIP won't start, but I guess it is because something else is not starting or completing. Please help

Hi, When you deploy harvester cluster from Rancher that is running on three master nodes and two worker nodes does Rancher install it on the worker nodes as a container or requires new three nodes outside the existing nodes?

Hi, I am busy deploying RKE2 via rancher into a harvester cluster. I want to deploy 3 nodes. We do not have/use DHCP. In Vmware you can use Network Protocol profile and pass the IP info the the VMs. This works, has harvester got a similar solution? I want them to assign static IPs in the deployment per VM. Any advice please?

Hi there, I'm trying to install Harvester on a Supermicro box, and i have a strange bug. Boot on the ISO file is ok. After i fill the HostName field, i can't move down to the Managment NIC field. I tried to hit Tab, Enter, down arrow, but i always go back to the first screen : "Choose installation method". I think it's a stupid problem but i don't know how to workaround. If anybody got a solution i will be happy to know it. Thanks in advance

does anyone have a store class yaml they can share? my storage class create page has been broken, and i'm not getting much love from the community on figuring out how to fix it 😞 https://github.com/harvester/harvester/issues/3348

Hey Guys, I have a few questions about harvester, anyone around? • does havester have support for multiple distinct datacenters managed from a single pane of glass, like vmware or ovirt does? • Is there any support for using external storage, like NFS, for VMs?

Hey everyone. There is currently no way to deploy Rancher without creating a VM, correct? I found this link which says that Harvester is re-using names/components from Rancher: https://forums.rancher.com/t/install-rancher-on-a-harvester-node-not-in-a-vm/38991/4

Did anyone tried to install Nvidia GPU Operator or k8s-device-plugin on Harvester?

Are there any differences between Rancher and embedded Rancher on Harvester?

I managed to get myself another intel NUC type box and am going to play with tinkerbell provisioning harvester... but one thing I was always interested in was a good guide/tutorial/write up on using letsencrypt certs with an auto renewal mechanism on the harvester appliance itself. I currently use an external certbot and then apply those certs on my single node right now. Does anyone have anything more elegant?

We are using a 3-node cluster for our development. Setup is working fine, however sometime a specific Node is keep getting into “*Cordoned*” state with the message “*Kubelet stopped posting node status*”. I tried a lot but haven't been able to nail down the actual issue with that specific Node. Can someone please help me with some pointers towards the troubleshooting? Do we have any tool I can use for the troubleshooting?

having difficulty successfully configuring VmwareSource CRD - I have applied the secret and the source cluster successfully, but the check "kubectl get vmwareresource.migration" does not return "clusterReady" • ping Harvester host --> vCenter host (FQDN or IP) works • ping Harvester host --> ESXi host (FQDN or IP) works • ping vCenter host --> Harvester nodes works • ping ESXi host --> Harvester nodes works I would be most grateful for any troubleshooting suggestions or help.

Hello I tried to install harvester 1.1.1 on a supermicro box, and i encounter this error, even if i use static or dhcp configuration. I tried all the bond modes too. I know there is an issue (https://github.com/harvester/harvester/issues/2422), but wihout any solution. Any idea ?

preparing to properly test out a multinode harvester cluster and using tinkerbell to deploy it! Slight problem, I forgot my cluster token. I can get my node token from: hv01:/var/lib/rancher/rke2/server # ls agent-token cred db etc logs manifests node-token tls token hv01:/var/lib/rancher/rke2/server # cat node-token K101133andmorehex:servermyRancherPassword is there a location I can grab the friendly cluster token from?

Is there any guidance on pitfalls related to reconfiguring the networks in an existing harvester cluster? Currently all machines on vlan networks are connected to the management cluster network (due to initial hardware constraints), but with more network interfaces I’d like to fan out and use separate VM and storage networks

Hey hey people, did anyone see an issue where installation finishes and then just restarts when trying join an existing cluster?
