Figure out why the etcd pod isn't running on the existing server node. Have you checked the kubelet.log, and etcd pod logs under /var/log/pods?

Note, RKE2 does not have "master" nodes. Just server and agents.

Looks like bug/issue was in v1.30.4, after changing new version (v1.30.5) issue fixed.

By the way, do you have any idea how to find right stable (bug/issue free) version ?

[brandond]

I'm not aware of any issues with etcd in v1.30.4+rke2r1, so it is unlikely that whatever was going on was resolved by the change in version. Without logs I really can't say though.

In general I'd recommend the latest version available. If we're aware of a bug, we either fix it, or call it out in the release notes.

Thank you for reply.

Based on your issue (https://github.com/rancher/rke2/issues/5804), I decided to check another version & it works.

Biggest challenge is is we setting up in Airgap Env :)

Once again thanks for prompt reply.
