Let's say you are attempting to deploy a pod on OpenShift, and something like this is being returned. Notice in this example that 2 nodes have insufficient CPU.

Almost always, pods are deployed to worker nodes, thus it's probably the worker nodes that have insufficient CPU. The oc get nodes command can be used to list your nodes.

~]$ oc get nodes

You can view the node YAML to determine how much allocatable and capacity CPU the node has.

~]$ oc get node my-node-worker-lk5vm --output yaml
status:
  allocatable:
    cpu: 3500m
    ephemeral-storage: "114396791822"
    hugepages-1Gi: "0"
    hugepages-2Mi: "0"
    memory: 62447948Ki
    pods: "250"
  capacity:
    cpu: "4"
    ephemeral-storage: 125293548Ki
    hugepages-1Gi: "0"
    hugepages-2Mi: "0"
    memory: 65696076Ki
    pods: "250"

And you can view the pod YAML to see if the containers in the pod have CPU requests/limits. In this example, there are 3 containers in the pod, each requesting 500m of CPU. That's quite a bit of CPU to be requesting.

~]$ oc get pod my-pod-kzz2w --output yaml
spec:
  containers:
  - name: my-container
    resources:
      requests:
        cpu: 500m
        memory: 128Mi
  initContainers:
  - name: my-first-init-container
    resources:
      requests:
        cpu: 500m
        memory: 128Mi
  - name: my-second-init-container
    resources:
      requests:
        cpu: 500m        

If the pod is managed by a deployment, you can try reducing the CPU requests in the deployment, to see if the pod is able to be scheduled on the node with less CPU. Of course, the pod may not function probably if it actually needs 500m of CPU requests, but you can at least try this change to see what the result it.
