Pods failed to start after switch cni plugin from flannel to calico and then flannel

问题

I install kubernetes v1.11.5 from kubeadm with cni plugin flannel and everything is ok. But I after try to switch to calico I found that the cross machine pod communication is broken. So I switch back to flannel. But got error message when creating pod:

It seems that I need to reset cni network? But I don't know how to solve this problem.

My flannel and calico installation is follow kubeadm instruction with zero config update.

回答1:

I use following steps to remove old calico configs from kubernetes without kubeadm reset:

1. clear ip route: ip route flush proto bird
2. remove all calico links in all nodes ip link list | grep cali | awk '{print $2}' | cut -c 1-15 | xargs -I {} ip link delete {}
3. remove ipip module modprobe -r ipip
4. remove calico configs rm /etc/cni/net.d/10-calico.conflist && rm /etc/cni/net.d/calico-kubeconfig
5. restart kubelet service kubelet restart

After those steps all the running pods won't be connect, then I have to delete all the pods, then all the pods works. This has litter influence if you are using replicaset.
