I have a pre-existing k8 cluster that I want to add a node to. It appears that there's a version issue and Im not sure how to resolve it.

When I attempt to join the new node (using kubeadm join):

...
[kubelet] Downloading configuration for the kubelet from the "kubelet-config-1.12" ConfigMap in the kube-system namespace      
configmaps "kubelet-config-1.12" is forbidden: User "system:bootstrap:rsezn8" cannot get configmaps in the namespace "kube-system"

On an existing node:

[root@kube0 ~]# kubeadm version
kubeadm version: &version.Info{Major:"1", Minor:"12", GitVersion:"v1.12.1", GitCommit:"4ed3216f3ec431b140b1d899130a69fc671678f4", GitTreeState:"clean", BuildDate:"2018-10-05T16:43:08Z", GoVersion:"go1.10.4", Compiler:"gc", Platform:"linux/amd64"}
[root@kube0 ~]# rpm -qa | grep kube
kubeadm-1.12.1-2.x86_64
kubernetes-cni-0.6.0-2.x86_64
kubectl-1.12.1-2.x86_64
kubelet-1.12.1-2.x86_64

On the (putative) new node:

[root@kube4 ~]# rpm -qa | grep kube
kubectl-1.12.1-0.x86_64
kubelet-1.12.1-0.x86_64
kubernetes-cni-0.6.0-0.x86_64
kubeadm-1.12.1-0.x86_64

On the master node:

[root@kube-master kubernetes]# kubectl get configmap -n kube-system
NAME                                 DATA   AGE
coredns                              1      106d
extension-apiserver-authentication   6      106d
filebeat-config                      1      16d
filebeat-inputs                      1      16d
kube-proxy                           2      106d
kubeadm-config                       1      106d
kubelet-config-1.11                  1      106d
kubernetes-dashboard-settings        1      105d
weave-net                            0      106d
[root@kube-master kubernetes]# kubelet --version
Kubernetes v1.12.1

When I look at previous solutions to this problem (here) it seems like the new node is higher version than the existing. In my case the opposite is (somehow) true. (yum update doesn't show any newer versions)

Another issue is the kubelet-config-1.11. Is that my issue here? How do I fix that?

The fix was to follow the std upgrade process. Somehow I had a system with kubeadm version 1.21.1 and cluster version 1.11.0.

Followed the instructions here.

When it came to downloading new software it was already on the system(s).
