Determine the phase of a machine by using the CLI

To troubleshoot issues with a machine, you can find the phase of a machine by using the OpenShift CLI (oc).

Prerequisites

  • You have access to an OpenShift Container Platform cluster using an account with cluster-admin permissions.

  • You have installed the oc CLI.

Procedure

  • List the machines on the cluster by running the following command:

    $ oc get machine -n openshift-machine-api
    Example output
    NAME                                      PHASE     TYPE         REGION      ZONE         AGE
mycluster-5kbsp-master-0                  Running   m6i.xlarge   us-west-1   us-west-1a   4h55m
mycluster-5kbsp-master-1                  Running   m6i.xlarge   us-west-1   us-west-1b   4h55m
mycluster-5kbsp-master-2                  Running   m6i.xlarge   us-west-1   us-west-1a   4h55m
mycluster-5kbsp-worker-us-west-1a-fmx8t   Running   m6i.xlarge   us-west-1   us-west-1a   4h51m
mycluster-5kbsp-worker-us-west-1a-m889l   Running   m6i.xlarge   us-west-1   us-west-1a   4h51m
mycluster-5kbsp-worker-us-west-1b-c8qzm   Running   m6i.xlarge   us-west-1   us-west-1b   4h51m

    The PHASE column of the output contains the phase of each machine.
