OC ADM(1)

NAME

oc adm drain - Drain node in preparation for maintenance

SYNOPSIS

oc adm drain [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

Drain node in preparation for maintenance.

The given node will be marked unschedulable to prevent new pods from arriving. Then drain deletes all pods except mirror pods (which cannot be deleted through the API server). If there are DaemonSet-managed pods, drain will not proceed without --ignore-daemonsets, and regardless it will not delete any DaemonSet-managed pods, because those pods would be immediately replaced by the DaemonSet controller, which ignores unschedulable markings. If there are any pods that are neither mirror pods nor managed--by ReplicationController, ReplicaSet, DaemonSet or Job--, then drain will not delete any pods unless you use --force.

When you are ready to put the node back into service, use kubectl uncordon, which will make the node schedulable again.

OPTIONS

--delete-local-data=false
    Continue even if there are pods using emptyDir (local data that will be deleted when the node is drained).

--force=false
    Continue even if there are pods not managed by a ReplicationController, ReplicaSet, Job, or DaemonSet.

--grace-period=-1
    Period of time in seconds given to each pod to terminate gracefully. If negative, the default value specified in the pod will be used.

--ignore-daemonsets=false
    Ignore DaemonSet-managed pods.
