Chapter 7. Adding file and object storage to an existing external OpenShift Data Foundation cluster
Chapter 7. Adding file and object storage to an existing external OpenShift Data Foundation cluster When OpenShift Data Foundation is configured in external mode, there are several ways to provide storage for persistent volume claims and object bucket claims. Persistent volume claims for block storage are provided directly from the external Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster. Persistent volume claims for file storage can be provided by adding a Metadata Server (MDS) to the external Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster. Object bucket claims for object storage can be provided either by using the Multicloud Object Gateway or by adding the Ceph Object Gateway to the external Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster. Use the following process to add file storage (using Metadata Servers) or object storage (using Ceph Object Gateway) or both to an external OpenShift Data Foundation cluster that was initially deployed to provide only block storage. Prerequisites OpenShift Data Foundation 4.17 is installed and running on the OpenShift Container Platform version 4.17 or above. Also, the OpenShift Data Foundation Cluster in external mode is in the Ready state. Your external Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster is configured with one or both of the following: a Ceph Object Gateway (RGW) endpoint that can be accessed by the OpenShift Container Platform cluster for object storage a Metadata Server (MDS) pool for file storage Ensure that you know the parameters used with the ceph-external-cluster-details-exporter.py script during external OpenShift Data Foundation cluster deployment. Procedure Download the OpenShift Data Foundation version of the ceph-external-cluster-details-exporter.py python script using the following command: Update permission caps on the external Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster by running ceph-external-cluster-details-exporter.py on any client node in the external Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster. You may need to ask your Red Hat Ceph Storage administrator to do this. --run-as-user The client name used during OpenShift Data Foundation cluster deployment. Use the default client name client.healthchecker if a different client name was not set. --rgw-pool-prefix The prefix used for the Ceph Object Gateway pool. This can be omitted if the default prefix is used. Generate and save configuration details from the external Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster. Generate configuration details by running ceph-external-cluster-details-exporter.py on any client node in the external Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster. --monitoring-endpoint Is optional. It accepts comma separated list of IP addresses of active and standby mgrs reachable from the OpenShift Container Platform cluster. If not provided, the value is automatically populated. --monitoring-endpoint-port Is optional. It is the port associated with the ceph-mgr Prometheus exporter specified by --monitoring-endpoint . If not provided, the value is automatically populated. --run-as-user The client name used during OpenShift Data Foundation cluster deployment. Use the default client name client.healthchecker if a different client name was not set. --rgw-endpoint Provide this parameter to provision object storage through Ceph Object Gateway for OpenShift Data Foundation. (optional parameter) --rgw-pool-prefix The prefix used for the Ceph Object Gateway pool. This can be omitted if the default prefix is used. User permissions are updated as shown: Note Ensure that all the parameters (including the optional arguments) except the Ceph Object Gateway details (if provided), are the same as what was used during the deployment of OpenShift Data Foundation in external mode. Save the output of the script in an external-cluster-config.json file. The following example output shows the generated configuration changes in bold text. Upload the generated JSON file. Log in to the OpenShift web console. Click Workloads Secrets . Set project to openshift-storage . Click on rook-ceph-external-cluster-details . Click Actions (...) Edit Secret Click Browse and upload the external-cluster-config.json file. Click Save . Verification steps To verify that the OpenShift Data Foundation cluster is healthy and data is resilient, navigate to Storage Data foundation Storage Systems tab and then click on the storage system name. On the Overview Block and File tab, check the Status card to confirm that the Storage Cluster has a green tick indicating it is healthy. If you added a Metadata Server for file storage: Click Workloads Pods and verify that csi-cephfsplugin-* pods are created new and are in the Running state. Click Storage Storage Classes and verify that the ocs-external-storagecluster-cephfs storage class is created. If you added the Ceph Object Gateway for object storage: Click Storage Storage Classes and verify that the ocs-external-storagecluster-ceph-rgw storage class is created. To verify that the OpenShift Data Foundation cluster is healthy and data is resilient, navigate to Storage Data foundation Storage Systems tab and then click on the storage system name. Click the Object tab and confirm Object Service and Data resiliency has a green tick indicating it is healthy.
