Hello all, I created RKE2 cluster from Rancher UI (2.6.x). This was done several months ago and cluster is working fine. Now, I need to add vSphere storage to this RKE2 cluster so need to deploy vSphere CPI/CSI from Apps. However, I am facing the issue discussed here: https://github.com/rancher/rke2/issues/1844 From my cluster:

# netstat -tulpn | grep LISTEN | grep 10258
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:10258         0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      4542/cloud-controll

But, I am unsure where in the Rancher UI do I need to set these options:

cloud-provider-name: none
disable-cloud-controller: true

OR should I set this instead (where):

cloud-provider-name: rancher-vsphere

Set the former in your config.yaml. I would also suggest looking at the upstream vSphere CSI / CPI

Thanks; so that is under /etc/rancher/rke2 directory? I do not have config.yaml there but I am assuming I can create it? And for 3-node HA cluster should I create that file across all 3 control plane/etcd nodes and restart server service (my guess)?

How did you provision your master nodes? Your nodes should have

➜ /etc/rancher/rke2/config.yaml

, the file should be the same across all masters.

via Rancher UI... I do have this file:

/etc/rancher/rke2/config.yaml.d/50-rancher.yaml

I see. I don't use the UI for anything RKE2. Yes, that file will likely be what you need. Check its content and add the lines you need and restart each node one by one.

thanks!

No worries. 🙂

well, that didn't work... after making changes to

/etc/rancher/rke2/config.yaml.d/50-rancher.yaml

file, I restart rke2-server service and my changes are undone...

Then I suggest editing within the rancher cluster webUI

yep, was thinking the same thing

I think I still have a dev deployment of it around here somewhere... let me try look.
