Hello @Vikas,

Welcome to our community — it’s great to have you here! :star_struck:

I have seen same error here:

I’m not entirely certain nor experience with OpenShift, but you can try the following steps:

  • Explicitly set the address for Weaviate in Openshift, if possible.
  • Ensure your OpenShift pod has a valid private IP.

It would also help if you could share your configuration and YAML so we can take a closer look. Additionally, make sure you test on the latest Weaviate DB version (1.32), as 1.29 is now outdated.
