Chapter 5. Using Container Storage Interface (CSI)
Chapter 5. Using Container Storage Interface (CSI) 5.1. Configuring CSI volumes The Container Storage Interface (CSI) allows OpenShift Container Platform to consume storage from storage back ends that implement the CSI interface as persistent storage. Note OpenShift Container Platform 4.9 supports version 1.5.0 of the CSI specification . 5.1.1. CSI Architecture CSI drivers are typically shipped as container images. These containers are not aware of OpenShift Container Platform where they run. To use CSI-compatible storage back end in OpenShift Container Platform, the cluster administrator must deploy several components that serve as a bridge between OpenShift Container Platform and the storage driver. The following diagram provides a high-level overview about the components running in pods in the OpenShift Container Platform cluster. It is possible to run multiple CSI drivers for different storage back ends. Each driver needs its own external controllers deployment and daemon set with the driver and CSI registrar. 5.1.1.1. External CSI controllers External CSI Controllers is a deployment that deploys one or more pods with five containers: The snapshotter container watches VolumeSnapshot and VolumeSnapshotContent objects and is responsible for the creation and deletion of VolumeSnapshotContent object. The resizer container is a sidecar container that watches for PersistentVolumeClaim updates and triggers ControllerExpandVolume operations against a CSI endpoint if you request more storage on PersistentVolumeClaim object. An external CSI attacher container translates attach and detach calls from OpenShift Container Platform to respective ControllerPublish and ControllerUnpublish calls to the CSI driver. An external CSI provisioner container that translates provision and delete calls from OpenShift Container Platform to respective CreateVolume and DeleteVolume calls to the CSI driver. A CSI driver container The CSI attacher and CSI provisioner containers communicate with the CSI driver container using UNIX Domain Sockets, ensuring that no CSI communication leaves the pod. The CSI driver is not accessible from outside of the pod. Note attach , detach , provision , and delete operations typically require the CSI driver to use credentials to the storage backend. Run the CSI controller pods on infrastructure nodes so the credentials are never leaked to user processes, even in the event of a catastrophic security breach on a compute node. Note The external attacher must also run for CSI drivers that do not support third-party attach or detach operations. The external attacher will not issue any ControllerPublish or ControllerUnpublish operations to the CSI driver. However, it still must run to implement the necessary OpenShift Container Platform attachment API. 5.1.1.2. CSI driver daemon set The CSI driver daemon set runs a pod on every node that allows OpenShift Container Platform to mount storage provided by the CSI driver to the node and use it in user workloads (pods) as persistent volumes (PVs). The pod with the CSI driver installed contains the following containers: A CSI driver registrar, which registers the CSI driver into the openshift-node service running on the node. The openshift-node process running on the node then directly connects with the CSI driver using the UNIX Domain Socket available on the node. A CSI driver. The CSI driver deployed on the node should have as few credentials to the storage back end as possible. OpenShift Container Platform will only use the node plugin set of CSI calls such as NodePublish / NodeUnpublish and NodeStage / NodeUnstage , if these calls are implemented. 5.1.2. CSI drivers supported by OpenShift Container Platform OpenShift Container Platform installs certain CSI drivers by default, giving users storage options that are not possible with in-tree volume plugins. To create CSI-provisioned persistent volumes that mount to these supported storage assets, OpenShift Container Platform installs the necessary CSI driver Operator, the CSI driver, and the required storage class by default. For more details about the default namespace of the Operator and driver, see the documentation for the specific CSI Driver Operator. The following table describes the CSI drivers that are installed with OpenShift Container Platform and which CSI features they support, such as volume snapshots, cloning, and resize. Table 5.1. Supported CSI drivers and features in OpenShift Container Platform CSI driver CSI volume snapshots CSI cloning CSI resize AWS EBS ✅ - ✅ AWS EFS (Tech Preview) - - - Google Cloud Platform (GCP) persistent disk (PD) ✅ - ✅ Microsoft Azure Disk (Tech Preview) ✅ ✅ ✅ Microsoft Azure Stack Hub ✅ ✅ ✅ OpenStack Cinder ✅ ✅ ✅ OpenShift Container Storage ✅ ✅ ✅ OpenStack Manila ✅ - - Red Hat Virtualization (oVirt) - - ✅ VMware vSphere (Tech Preview) - - - Important If your CSI driver is not listed in the preceding table, you must follow the installation instructions provided by your CSI storage vendor to use their supported CSI features. 5.1.3. Dynamic provisioning Dynamic provisioning of persistent storage depends on the capabilities of the CSI driver and underlying storage back end. The provider of the CSI driver should document how to create a storage class in OpenShift Container Platform and the parameters available for configuration. The created storage class can be configured to enable dynamic provisioning. Procedure Create a default storage class that ensures all PVCs that do not require any special storage class are provisioned by the installed CSI driver. # oc create -f - << EOF apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1 kind: StorageClass metadata: name: <storage-class> 1 annotations: storageclass.kubernetes.io/is-default-class: "true" provisioner: <provisioner-name> 2 parameters: EOF 1 The name of the storage class that will be created. 2 The name of the CSI driver that has been installed 5.1.4. Example using the CSI driver The following example installs a default MySQL template without any changes to the template. Prerequisites The CSI driver has been deployed. A storage class has been created for dynamic provisioning. Procedure Create the MySQL template: # oc new-app mysql-persistent Example output --> Deploying template "openshift/mysql-persistent" to project default ... # oc get pvc Example output NAME STATUS VOLUME CAPACITY ACCESS MODES STORAGECLASS AGE mysql Bound kubernetes-dynamic-pv-3271ffcb4e1811e8 1Gi RWO cinder 3s 5.2. CSI inline ephemeral volumes Container Storage Interface (CSI) inline ephemeral volumes allow you to define a Pod spec that creates inline ephemeral volumes when a pod is deployed and delete them when a pod is destroyed. This feature is only available with supported Container Storage Interface (CSI) drivers. Important CSI inline ephemeral volumes is a Technology Preview feature only. Technology Preview features are not supported with Red Hat production service level agreements (SLAs) and might not be functionally complete. Red Hat does not recommend using them in production. These features provide early access to upcoming product features, enabling customers to test functionality and provide feedback during the development process. For more information about the support scope of Red Hat Technology Preview features, see Technology Preview Features Support Scope . 5.2.1. Overview of CSI inline ephemeral volumes Traditionally, volumes that are backed by Container Storage Interface (CSI) drivers can only be used with a PersistentVolume and PersistentVolumeClaim object combination. This feature allows you to specify CSI volumes directly in the Pod specification, rather than in a PersistentVolume object. Inline volumes are ephemeral and do not persist across pod restarts. 5.2.1.1. Support limitations By default, OpenShift Container Platform supports CSI inline ephemeral volumes with these limitations: Support is only available for CSI drivers. In-tree and FlexVolumes are not supported. OpenShift Container Platform does not include any CSI drivers. Use the CSI drivers provided by community or storage vendors . Follow the installation instructions provided by the CSI driver. CSI drivers might not have implemented the inline volume functionality, including Ephemeral capacity. For details, see the CSI driver documentation. 5.2.2. Embedding a CSI inline ephemeral volume in the pod specification You can embed a CSI inline ephemeral volume in the Pod specification in OpenShift Container Platform. At runtime, nested inline volumes follow the ephemeral lifecycle of their associated pods so that the CSI driver handles all phases of volume operations as pods are created and destroyed. Procedure Create the Pod object definition and save it to a file. Embed the CSI inline ephemeral volume in the file. my-csi-app.yaml kind: Pod apiVersion: v1 metadata: name: my-csi-app spec: containers: - name: my-frontend image: busybox volumeMounts: - mountPath: "/data" name: my-csi-inline-vol command: [ "sleep", "1000000" ] volumes: 1 - name: my-csi-inline-vol csi: driver: inline.storage.kubernetes.io volumeAttributes: foo: bar 1 The name of the volume that is used by pods. Create the object definition file that you saved in the step. USD oc create -f my-csi-app.yaml 5.3. CSI volume snapshots This document describes how to use volume snapshots with supported Container Storage Interface (CSI) drivers to help protect against data loss in OpenShift Container Platform. Familiarity with persistent volumes is suggested. 5.3.1. Overview of CSI volume snapshots A snapshot represents the state of the storage volume in a cluster at a particular point in time. Volume snapshots can be used to provision a new volume. OpenShift Container Platform supports CSI volume snapshots by default. However, a specific CSI driver is required. With CSI volume snapshots, a cluster administrator can: Deploy a third-party CSI driver that supports snapshots. Create a new persistent volume claim (PVC) from an existing volume snapshot. Take a snapshot of an existing PVC. Restore a snapshot as a different PVC. Delete an existing volume snapshot. With CSI volume snapshots, an app developer can: Use volume snapshots as building blocks for developing application- or cluster-level storage backup solutions. Rapidly rollback to a development version. Use storage more efficiently by not having to make a full copy each time. Be aware of the following when using volume snapshots: Support is only available for CSI drivers. In-tree and FlexVolumes are not supported. OpenShift Container Platform only ships with select CSI drivers. For CSI drivers that are not provided by an OpenShift Container Platform Driver Operator, it is recommended to use the CSI drivers provided by community or storage vendors . Follow the installation instructions provided by the CSI driver. CSI drivers may or may not have implemented the volume snapshot functionality. CSI drivers that have provided support for volume snapshots will likely use the csi-external-snapshotter sidecar. See documentation provided by the CSI driver for details. 5.3.2. CSI snapshot controller and sidecar OpenShift Container Platform provides a snapshot controller that is deployed into the control plane. In addition, your CSI driver vendor provides the CSI snapshot sidecar as a helper container that is installed during the CSI driver installation. The CSI snapshot controller and sidecar provide volume snapshotting through the OpenShift Container Platform API. These external components run in the cluster. The external controller is deployed by the CSI Snapshot Controller Operator. 5.3.2.1. External controller The CSI snapshot controller binds VolumeSnapshot and VolumeSnapshotContent objects. The controller manages dynamic provisioning by creating and deleting VolumeSnapshotContent objects. 5.3.2.2. External sidecar Your CSI driver vendor provides the csi-external-snapshotter sidecar. This is a separate helper container that is deployed with the CSI driver. The sidecar manages snapshots by triggering CreateSnapshot and DeleteSnapshot operations. Follow the installation instructions provided by your vendor. 5.3.3. About the CSI Snapshot Controller Operator The CSI Snapshot Controller Operator runs in the openshift-cluster-storage-operator namespace. It is installed by the Cluster Version Operator (CVO) in all clusters by default. The CSI Snapshot Controller Operator installs the CSI snapshot controller, which runs in the openshift-cluster-storage-operator namespace. 5.3.3.1. Volume snapshot CRDs During OpenShift Container Platform installation, the CSI Snapshot Controller Operator creates the following snapshot custom resource definitions (CRDs) in the snapshot.storage.k8s.io/v1 API group: VolumeSnapshotContent A snapshot taken of a volume in the cluster that has been provisioned by a cluster administrator. Similar to the PersistentVolume object, the VolumeSnapshotContent CRD is a cluster resource that points to a real snapshot in the storage back end. For manually pre-provisioned snapshots, a cluster administrator creates a number of VolumeSnapshotContent CRDs. These carry the details of the real volume snapshot in the storage system. The VolumeSnapshotContent CRD is not namespaced and is for use by a cluster administrator. VolumeSnapshot Similar to the PersistentVolumeClaim object, the VolumeSnapshot CRD defines a developer request for a snapshot. The CSI Snapshot Controller Operator runs the CSI snapshot controller, which handles the binding of a VolumeSnapshot CRD with an appropriate VolumeSnapshotContent CRD. The binding is a one-to-one mapping. The VolumeSnapshot CRD is namespaced. A developer uses the CRD as a distinct request for a snapshot. VolumeSnapshotClass Allows a cluster administrator to specify different attributes belonging to a VolumeSnapshot object. These attributes may differ among snapshots taken of the same volume on the storage system, in which case they would not be expressed by using the same storage class of a persistent volume claim. The VolumeSnapshotClass CRD defines the parameters for the csi-external-snapshotter sidecar to use when creating a snapshot. This allows the storage back end to know what kind of snapshot to dynamically create if multiple options are supported. Dynamically provisioned snapshots use the VolumeSnapshotClass CRD to specify storage-provider-specific parameters to use when creating a snapshot. The VolumeSnapshotContentClass CRD is not namespaced and is for use by a cluster administrator to enable global configuration options for their storage back end. 5.3.4. Volume snapshot provisioning There are two ways to provision snapshots: dynamically and manually. 5.3.4.1. Dynamic provisioning Instead of using a preexisting snapshot, you can request that a snapshot be taken dynamically from a persistent volume claim. Parameters are specified using a VolumeSnapshotClass CRD. 5.3.4.2. Manual provisioning As a cluster administrator, you can manually pre-provision a number of VolumeSnapshotContent objects. These carry the real volume snapshot details available to cluster users. 5.3.5. Creating a volume snapshot When you create a VolumeSnapshot object, OpenShift Container Platform creates a volume snapshot. Prerequisites Logged in to a running OpenShift Container Platform cluster. A PVC created using a CSI driver that supports VolumeSnapshot objects. A storage class to provision the storage back end. No pods are using the persistent volume claim (PVC) that you want to take a snapshot of. Note Do not create a volume snapshot of a PVC if a pod is using it. Doing so might cause data corruption because the PVC is not quiesced (paused). Be sure to first tear down a running pod to ensure consistent snapshots. Procedure To dynamically create a volume snapshot: Create a file with the VolumeSnapshotClass object described by the following YAML: volumesnapshotclass.yaml apiVersion: snapshot.storage.k8s.io/v1 kind: VolumeSnapshotClass metadata: name: csi-hostpath-snap driver: hostpath.csi.k8s.io 1 deletionPolicy: Delete 1 The name of the CSI driver that is used to create snapshots of this VolumeSnapshotClass object. The name must be the same as the Provisioner field of the storage class that is responsible for the PVC that is being snapshotted. Create the object you saved in the step by entering the following command: USD oc create -f volumesnapshotclass.yaml Create a VolumeSnapshot object: volumesnapshot-dynamic.yaml apiVersion: snapshot.storage.k8s.io/v1 kind: VolumeSnapshot metadata: name: mysnap spec: volumeSnapshotClassName: csi-hostpath-snap 1 source: persistentVolumeClaimName: myclaim 2 1 The request for a particular class by the volume snapshot. If the volumeSnapshotClassName setting is absent and there is a default volume snapshot class, a snapshot is created with the default volume snapshot class name. But if the field is absent and no default volume snapshot class exists, then no snapshot is created. 2 The name of the PersistentVolumeClaim object bound to a persistent volume. This defines what you want to create a snapshot of. Required for dynamically provisioning a snapshot. Create the object you saved in the step by entering the following command: USD oc create -f volumesnapshot-dynamic.yaml To manually provision a snapshot: Provide a value for the volumeSnapshotContentName parameter as the source for the snapshot, in addition to defining volume snapshot class as shown above. volumesnapshot-manual.yaml apiVersion: snapshot.storage.k8s.io/v1 kind: VolumeSnapshot metadata: name: snapshot-demo spec: source: volumeSnapshotContentName: mycontent 1 1 The volumeSnapshotContentName parameter is required for pre-provisioned snapshots. Create the object you saved in the step by entering the following command: USD oc create -f volumesnapshot-manual.yaml Verification After the snapshot has been created in the cluster, additional details about the snapshot are available. To display details about the volume snapshot that was created, enter the following command: USD oc describe volumesnapshot mysnap The following example displays details about the mysnap volume snapshot: volumesnapshot.yaml apiVersion: snapshot.storage.k8s.io/v1 kind: VolumeSnapshot metadata: name: mysnap spec: source: persistentVolumeClaimName: myclaim volumeSnapshotClassName: csi-hostpath-snap status: boundVolumeSnapshotContentName: snapcontent-1af4989e-a365-4286-96f8-d5dcd65d78d6 1 creationTime: "2020-01-29T12:24:30Z" 2 readyToUse: true 3 restoreSize: 500Mi 1 The pointer to the actual storage content that was created by the controller. 2 The time when the snapshot was created. The snapshot contains the volume content that was available at this indicated time. 3 If the value is set to true , the snapshot can be used to restore as a new PVC. If the value is set to false , the snapshot was created. However, the storage back end needs to perform additional tasks to make the snapshot usable so that it can be restored as a new volume. For example, Amazon Elastic Block Store data might be moved to a different, less expensive location, which can take several minutes. To verify that the volume snapshot was created, enter the following command: USD oc get volumesnapshotcontent The pointer to the actual content is displayed. If the boundVolumeSnapshotContentName field is populated, a VolumeSnapshotContent object exists and the snapshot was created. To verify that the snapshot is ready, confirm that the VolumeSnapshot object has readyToUse: true . 5.3.6. Deleting a volume snapshot You can configure how OpenShift Container Platform deletes volume snapshots. Procedure Specify the deletion policy that you require in the VolumeSnapshotClass object, as shown in the following example: volumesnapshotclass.yaml apiVersion: snapshot.storage.k8s.io/v1 kind: VolumeSnapshotClass metadata: name: csi-hostpath-snap driver: hostpath.csi.k8s.io deletionPolicy: Delete 1 1 When deleting the volume snapshot, if the Delete value is set, the underlying snapshot is deleted along with the VolumeSnapshotContent object. If the Retain value is set, both the underlying snapshot and VolumeSnapshotContent object remain. If the Retain value is set and the VolumeSnapshot object is deleted without deleting the corresponding VolumeSnapshotContent object, the content remains. The snapshot itself is also retained in the storage back end. Delete the volume snapshot by entering the following command: USD oc delete volumesnapshot <volumesnapshot_name> Example output volumesnapshot.snapshot.storage.k8s.io "mysnapshot" deleted If the deletion policy is set to Retain , delete the volume snapshot content by entering the following command: USD oc delete volumesnapshotcontent <volumesnapshotcontent_name> Optional: If the VolumeSnapshot object is not successfully deleted, enter the following command to remove any finalizers for the leftover resource so that the delete operation can continue: Important Only remove the finalizers if you are confident that there are no existing references from either persistent volume claims or volume snapshot contents to the VolumeSnapshot object. Even with the --force option, the delete operation does not delete snapshot objects until all finalizers are removed. USD oc patch -n USDPROJECT volumesnapshot/USDNAME --type=merge -p '{"metadata": {"finalizers":null}}' Example output volumesnapshotclass.snapshot.storage.k8s.io "csi-ocs-rbd-snapclass" deleted The finalizers are removed and the volume snapshot is deleted. 5.3.7. Restoring a volume snapshot The VolumeSnapshot CRD content can be used to restore the existing volume to a state. After your VolumeSnapshot CRD is bound and the readyToUse value is set to true , you can use that resource to provision a new volume that is pre-populated with data from the snapshot. .Prerequisites * Logged in to a running OpenShift Container Platform cluster. * A persistent volume claim (PVC) created using a Container Storage Interface (CSI) driver that supports volume snapshots. * A storage class to provision the storage back end. * A volume snapshot has been created and is ready to use. Procedure Specify a VolumeSnapshot data source on a PVC as shown in the following: pvc-restore.yaml apiVersion: v1 kind: PersistentVolumeClaim metadata: name: myclaim-restore spec: storageClassName: csi-hostpath-sc dataSource: name: mysnap 1 kind: VolumeSnapshot 2 apiGroup: snapshot.storage.k8s.io 3 accessModes: - ReadWriteOnce resources: requests: storage: 1Gi 1 Name of the VolumeSnapshot object representing the snapshot to use as source. 2 Must be set to the VolumeSnapshot value. 3 Must be set to the snapshot.storage.k8s.io value. Create a PVC by entering the following command: USD oc create -f pvc-restore.yaml Verify that the restored PVC has been created by entering the following command: USD oc get pvc A new PVC such as myclaim-restore is displayed. 5.4. CSI volume cloning Volume cloning duplicates an existing persistent volume to help protect against data loss in OpenShift Container Platform. This feature is only available with supported Container Storage Interface (CSI) drivers. You should be familiar with persistent volumes before you provision a CSI volume clone. 5.4.1. Overview of CSI volume cloning A Container Storage Interface (CSI) volume clone is a duplicate of an existing persistent volume at a particular point in time. Volume cloning is similar to volume snapshots, although it is more efficient. For example, a cluster administrator can duplicate a cluster volume by creating another instance of the existing cluster volume. Cloning creates an exact duplicate of the specified volume on the back-end device, rather than creating a new empty volume. After dynamic provisioning, you can use a volume clone just as you would use any standard volume. No new API objects are required for cloning. The existing dataSource field in the PersistentVolumeClaim object is expanded so that it can accept the name of an existing PersistentVolumeClaim in the same namespace. 5.4.1.1. Support limitations By default, OpenShift Container Platform supports CSI volume cloning with these limitations: The destination persistent volume claim (PVC) must exist in the same namespace as the source PVC. The source and destination storage class must be the same. Support is only available for CSI drivers. In-tree and FlexVolumes are not supported. CSI drivers might not have implemented the volume cloning functionality. For details, see the CSI driver documentation. 5.4.2. Provisioning a CSI volume clone When you create a cloned persistent volume claim (PVC) API object, you trigger the provisioning of a CSI volume clone. The clone pre-populates with the contents of another PVC, adhering to the same rules as any other persistent volume. The one exception is that you must add a dataSource that references an existing PVC in the same namespace. Prerequisites You are logged in to a running OpenShift Container Platform cluster. Your PVC is created using a CSI driver that supports volume cloning. Your storage back end is configured for dynamic provisioning. Cloning support is not available for static provisioners. Procedure To clone a PVC from an existing PVC: Create and save a file with the PersistentVolumeClaim object described by the following YAML: pvc-clone.yaml apiVersion: v1 kind: PersistentVolumeClaim metadata: name: pvc-1-clone namespace: mynamespace spec: storageClassName: csi-cloning 1 accessModes: - ReadWriteOnce resources: requests: storage: 5Gi dataSource: kind: PersistentVolumeClaim name: pvc-1 1 The name of the storage class that provisions the storage back end. The default storage class can be used and storageClassName can be omitted in the spec. Create the object you saved in the step by running the following command: USD oc create -f pvc-clone.yaml A new PVC pvc-1-clone is created. Verify that the volume clone was created and is ready by running the following command: USD oc get pvc pvc-1-clone The pvc-1-clone shows that it is Bound . You are now ready to use the newly cloned PVC to configure a pod. Create and save a file with the Pod object described by the YAML. For example: kind: Pod apiVersion: v1 metadata: name: mypod spec: containers: - name: myfrontend image: dockerfile/nginx volumeMounts: - mountPath: "/var/www/html" name: mypd volumes: - name: mypd persistentVolumeClaim: claimName: pvc-1-clone 1 1 The cloned PVC created during the CSI volume cloning operation. The created Pod object is now ready to consume, clone, snapshot, or delete your cloned PVC independently of its original dataSource PVC. 5.5. CSI automatic migration OpenShift Container Platform provides automatic migration for supported in-tree volume plugins to their equivalent Container Storage Interface (CSI) drivers. Important CSI automatic migration is a Technology Preview feature only. Technology Preview features are not supported with Red Hat production service level agreements (SLAs) and might not be functionally complete. Red Hat does not recommend using them in production. These features provide early access to upcoming product features, enabling customers to test functionality and provide feedback during the development process. For more information about the support scope of Red Hat Technology Preview features, see Technology Preview Features Support Scope . 5.5.1. Overview With the automatic migration feature enabled, volumes provisioned using in-tree storage plugins supported by this feature are migrated to their counterpart CSI drivers. The following drivers are supported: Amazon Web Services (AWS) Elastic Block Storage (EBS) OpenStack Cinder Azure Disk Google Compute Engine Persistent Disk (in-tree) and Google Cloud Platform Persistent Disk (CSI) CSI automatic migration should be seamless. Enabling this feature does not change how you use all existing API objects (for example, PersistentVolumes , PersistentVolumeClaims , and StorageClasses ). By default, automatic migration is disabled. Important CSI automatic migration will be enabled by default in a future OpenShift Container Platform release, so it is highly recommended that you test it now and report any issues. 5.5.2. Enabling CSI automatic migration Note Enabling CSI automatic migration drains, and then restarts, all nodes in the cluster in sequence. This might take some time. Procedure Enable feature gates (see Nodes Working with clusters Enabling features using feature gates ). Important After turning on Technology Preview features using feature gates, they cannot be turned off. As a result, cluster upgrades are prevented. The following configuration example enables CSI automatic migration to all CSI drivers supported by this feature: apiVersion: config.openshift.io/v1 kind: FeatureGate metadata: name: cluster spec: featureSet: TechPreviewNoUpgrade 1 ... 1 Enables automatic migration for AWS EBS, Cinder, and Azure Disk. You can specify CSI automatic migration for a selected CSI driver by setting CustomNoUpgrade featureSet and for featuregates to one of the following: CSIMigrationAWS CSIMigrationOpenStack CSIMigrationAzure CSIMigrationGCE The following configuration example enables automatic migration to the AWS EBS CSI driver only: apiVersion: config.openshift.io/v1 kind: FeatureGate metadata: name: cluster spec: featureSet: CustomNoUpgrade customNoUpgrade: enabled: - CSIMigrationAWS 1 ... 1 Enables automatic migration for AWS EBS only. 5.5.3. Additional resources Enabling features using feature gates 5.6. AWS Elastic Block Store CSI Driver Operator 5.6.1. Overview OpenShift Container Platform is capable of provisioning persistent volumes (PVs) using the Container Storage Interface (CSI) driver for AWS Elastic Block Store (EBS). Familiarity with persistent storage and configuring CSI volumes is recommended when working with a Container Storage Interface (CSI) Operator and driver. To create CSI-provisioned PVs that mount to AWS EBS storage assets, OpenShift Container Platform installs the AWS EBS CSI Driver Operator and the AWS EBS CSI driver by default in the openshift-cluster-csi-drivers namespace. The AWS EBS CSI Driver Operator provides a StorageClass by default that you can use to create PVCs. You also have the option to create the AWS EBS StorageClass as described in Persistent storage using AWS Elastic Block Store . The AWS EBS CSI driver enables you to create and mount AWS EBS PVs. Note If you installed the AWS EBS CSI Operator and driver on an OpenShift Container Platform 4.5 cluster, you must uninstall the 4.5 Operator and driver before you update to OpenShift Container Platform 4.9. 5.6.2. About CSI Storage vendors have traditionally provided storage drivers as part of Kubernetes. With the implementation of the Container Storage Interface (CSI), third-party providers can instead deliver storage plugins using a standard interface without ever having to change the core Kubernetes code. CSI Operators give OpenShift Container Platform users storage options, such as volume snapshots, that are not possible with in-tree volume plugins. Important OpenShift Container Platform defaults to using an in-tree (non-CSI) plugin to provision AWS EBS storage. In future OpenShift Container Platform versions, volumes provisioned using existing in-tree plugins are planned for migration to their equivalent CSI driver. CSI automatic migration should be seamless. Migration does not change how you use all existing API objects, such as persistent volumes, persistent volume claims, and storage classes. For more information about migration, see CSI automatic migration . After full migration, in-tree plugins will eventually be removed in future versions of OpenShift Container Platform. For information about dynamically provisioning AWS EBS persistent volumes in OpenShift Container Platform, see Persistent storage using AWS Elastic Block Store . Additional resources Persistent storage using AWS Elastic Block Store Configuring CSI volumes 5.7. AWS Elastic File Service CSI Driver Operator 5.7.1. Overview OpenShift Container Platform is capable of provisioning persistent volumes (PVs) using the Container Storage Interface (CSI) driver for AWS Elastic File Service (EFS). Important AWS EFS Driver Operator is a Technology Preview feature only. Technology Preview features are not supported with Red Hat production service level agreements (SLAs) and might not be functionally complete. Red Hat does not recommend using them in production. These features provide early access to upcoming product features, enabling customers to test functionality and provide feedback during the development process. For more information about the support scope of Red Hat Technology Preview features, see Technology Preview Features Support Scope . Familiarity with persistent storage and configuring CSI volumes is recommended when working with a CSI Operator and driver. After installing the AWS EFS CSI Driver Operator, OpenShift Container Platform installs the AWS EFS CSI Operator and the AWS EFS CSI driver by default in the openshift-cluster-csi-drivers namespace. This allows the AWS EFS CSI Driver Operator to create CSI-provisioned PVs that mount to AWS EFS assets. The AWS EFS CSI Driver Operator , after being installed, does not create a storage class by default to use to create persistent volume claims (PVCs). However, you can manually create the AWS EFS StorageClass . The AWS EFS CSI Driver Operator supports dynamic volume provisioning by allowing storage volumes to be created on-demand, eliminating the need for cluster administrators to pre-provision storage. The AWS EFS CSI driver enables you to create and mount AWS EFS PVs. The AWS EFS CSI driver must be manually installed. Note AWS EFS only supports regional volumes, not zonal volumes. 5.7.2. About CSI Storage vendors have traditionally provided storage drivers as part of Kubernetes. With the implementation of the Container Storage Interface (CSI), third-party providers can instead deliver storage plugins using a standard interface without ever having to change the core Kubernetes code. CSI Operators give OpenShift Container Platform users storage options, such as volume snapshots, that are not possible with in-tree volume plugins. 5.7.3. Installing the AWS EFS CSI Driver Operator The AWS EFS CSI Driver Operator is not installed in OpenShift Container Platform by default. Use the following procedure to install and configure the AWS EFS CSI Driver Operator in your cluster. Prerequisites Access to the OpenShift Container Platform web console. Procedure To install the AWS EFS CSI Driver Operator from the web console: Log in to the web console. Install the AWS EFS CSI Operator: Click Operators OperatorHub . Locate the AWS EFS CSI Operator by typing AWS EFS CSI in the filter box. Click the AWS EFS CSI Driver Operator button. Important Be sure to select the AWS EFS CSI Driver Operator and not the AWS EFS Operator . The AWS EFS Operator is a community Operator and is not supported by Red Hat. On the AWS EFS CSI Driver Operator page, click Install . On the Install Operator page, ensure that: All namespaces on the cluster (default) is selected. Installed Namespace is set to openshift-cluster-csi-drivers . Click Install . After the installation finishes, the AWS EFS CSI Operator is listed in the Installed Operators section of the web console. Install the AWS EFS CSI Driver: Click administration CustomResourceDefinitions ClusterCSIDriver . On the Instances tab, click Create ClusterCSIDriver . Use the following YAML file: apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1 kind: ClusterCSIDriver metadata: name: efs.csi.aws.com spec: managementState: Managed Click Create . Wait for the following Conditions to change to a "true" status: AWSEFSDriverCredentialsRequestControllerAvailable AWSEFSDriverNodeServiceControllerAvailable AWSEFSDriverControllerServiceControllerAvailable 5.7.4. Creating the AWS EFS storage class Storage classes are used to differentiate and delineate storage levels and usages. By defining a storage class, users can obtain dynamically provisioned persistent volumes. The AWS EFS CSI Driver Operator , after being installed, does not create a storage class by default. However, you can manually create the AWS EFS storage class. 5.7.4.1. Creating the AWS EFS storage class using the console Procedure In the OpenShift Container Platform console, click Storage StorageClasses . On the StorageClasses page, click Create StorageClass . On the StorageClass page, perform the following steps: Enter a name to reference the storage class. Optional: Enter the description. Select the reclaim policy. Select efs.csi.aws.com from the Provisioner drop-down list. Optional: Set the configuration parameters for the selected provisioner. Click Create . 5.7.4.2. Creating the AWS EFS storage class using the CLI Procedure Create a StorageClass object: kind: StorageClass apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1 metadata: name: efs-sc provisioner: efs.csi.aws.com parameters: provisioningMode: efs-ap 1 fileSystemId: fs-a5324911 2 directoryPerms: "700" 3 gidRangeStart: "1000" 4 gidRangeEnd: "2000" 5 basePath: "/dynamic_provisioning" 6 1 provisioningMode must be efs-ap to enable dynamic provisioning. 2 fileSystemId must be the ID of the EFS volume created manually. 3 directoryPerms is the default permission of the root directory of the volume. In this example, the volume is accessible only by the owner. 4 5 gidRangeStart and gidRangeEnd set the range of POSIX Group IDs (GIDs) that are used to set the GID of the AWS access point. If not specified, the default range is 50000-7000000. Each provisioned volume, and thus AWS access point, is assigned a unique GID from this range. 6 basePath is the directory on the EFS volume that is used to create dynamically provisioned volumes. In this case, a PV is provisioned as "/dynamic_provisioning/<random uuid>" on the EFS volume. Only the subdirectory is mounted to pods that use the PV. Note A cluster admin can create several StorageClass objects, each using a different EFS volume. 5.7.5. Creating and configuring access to EFS volumes in AWS This procedure explains how to create and configure EFS volumes in AWS so that you can use them in OpenShift Container Platform. Prerequisites AWS account credentials Procedure To create and configure access to an EFS volume in AWS: On the AWS console, open https://console.aws.amazon.com/efs . Click Create file system : Enter a name for the file system. For Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) , select your OpenShift Container Platform's' virtual private cloud (VPC). Accept default settings for all other selections. Wait for the volume and mount targets to finish being fully created: Go to https://console.aws.amazon.com/efs#/file-systems . Click your volume, and on the Network tab wait for all mount targets to become available (~1-2 minutes). On the Network tab, copy the Security Group ID (you will need this in the step). Go to https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/v2/home#SecurityGroups , and find the Security Group used by the EFS volume. On the Inbound rules tab, click Edit inbound rules , and then add a new rule with the following settings to allow OpenShift Container Platform nodes to access EFS volumes : Type : NFS Protocol : TCP Port range : 2049 Source : Custom/IP address range of your nodes (for example: "10.0.0.0/16") This step allows OpenShift Container Platform to use NFS ports from the cluster. Save the rule. 5.7.6. Dynamic provisioning for AWS EFS The AWS EFS CSI Driver supports a different form of dynamic provisioning than other CSI drivers. It provisions new PVs as subdirectories of a pre-existing EFS volume. The PVs are independent of each other. However, they all share the same EFS volume. When the volume is deleted, all PVs provisioned out of it are deleted too. The EFS CSI driver creates an AWS Access Point for each such subdirectory. Due to AWS AccessPoint limits, you can only dynamically provision 1000 PVs from a single StorageClass /EFS volume. Important Note that PVC.spec.resources is not enforced by EFS. In the example below, you request 5 GiB of space. However, the created PV is limitless and can store any amount of data (like petabytes). A broken application, or even a rogue application, can cause significant expenses when it stores too much data on the volume. Using monitoring of EFS volume sizes in AWS is strongly recommended. Prerequisites You have created AWS EFS volumes. You have created the AWS EFS storage class. Procedure To enable dynamic provisioning: Create a PVC (or StatefulSet or Template) as usual, referring to the StorageClass created above. apiVersion: v1 kind: PersistentVolumeClaim metadata: name: test spec: storageClassName: efs-sc accessModes: - ReadWriteMany resources: requests: storage: 5Gi If you have problems setting up dynamic provisioning, see AWS EFS troubleshooting . Additional resources Creating and configuring access to AWS EFS volume(s) Creating the AWS EFS storage class :!StorageClass: 5.7.7. Creating static PVs with AWS EFS It is possible to use an AWS EFS volume as a single PV without any dynamic provisioning. The whole volume is mounted to pods. Prerequisites Created AWS EFS volume(s). Procedure Create the PV using the following YAML file: apiVersion: v1 kind: PersistentVolume metadata: name: efs-pv spec: capacity: 1 storage: 5Gi volumeMode: Filesystem accessModes: - ReadWriteMany - ReadWriteOnce persistentVolumeReclaimPolicy: Retain csi: driver: efs.csi.aws.com volumeHandle: fs-ae66151a 2 volumeAttributes: encryptInTransit: "false" 3 1 spec.capacity does not have any meaning and is ignored by the CSI driver. It is used only when binding to a PVC. Applications can store any amount of data to the volume. 2 volumeHandle must be the same ID as the EFS volume you created in AWS. If you are providing your own access point, volumeHandle should be <EFS volume ID>::<access point ID> . For example: fs-6e633ada::fsap-081a1d293f0004630 . 3 If desired, you can disable encryption in transit. Encryption is enabled by default. If you have problems setting up static PVs, see AWS EFS troubleshooting . 5.7.8. AWS EFS security The following information is important for AWS EFS security. When using access points, for example, by using dynamic provisioning as described earlier, Amazon automatically replaces GIDs on files with the GID of the access point. In addition, EFS considers the user ID, group ID, and secondary group IDs of the access point when evaluating file system permissions. EFS ignores the NFS client's IDs. For more information about access points, see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/efs/latest/ug/efs-access-points.html . As a consequence, EFS volumes silently ignore FSGroup; OpenShift Container Platform is not able to replace the GIDs of files on the volume with FSGroup. Any pod that can access a mounted EFS access point can access any file on it. Unrelated to this, encryption in transit is enabled by default. For more information, see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/efs/latest/ug/encryption-in-transit.html . 5.7.9. AWS EFS troubleshooting The following information provides guidance on how to troubleshoot issues with AWS EFS: The AWS EFS Operator and CSI driver run in namespace openshift-cluster-csi-drivers . To initiate gathering of logs of the AWS EFS Operator and CSI driver, run the following command: USD oc adm must-gather [must-gather ] OUT Using must-gather plugin-in image: quay.io/openshift-release-dev/ocp-v4.0-art-dev@sha256:125f183d13601537ff15b3239df95d47f0a604da2847b561151fedd699f5e3a5 [must-gather ] OUT namespace/openshift-must-gather-xm4wq created [must-gather ] OUT clusterrolebinding.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/must-gather-2bd8x created [must-gather ] OUT pod for plug-in image quay.io/openshift-release-dev/ocp-v4.0-art-dev@sha256:125f183d13601537ff15b3239df95d47f0a604da2847b561151fedd699f5e3a5 created To show AWS EFS Operator errors, view the ClusterCSIDriver status: USD oc get clustercsidriver efs.csi.aws.com -o yaml If a volume cannot be mounted to a pod (as shown in the output of the following command): USD oc describe pod ...

This error is frequently caused by AWS dropping packets between an OpenShift Container Platform node and AWS EFS. Check that the following are correct (see Creating and configuring access to EFS volumes in AWS ): AWS firewall and Security Groups Networking: port number and IP addresses 5.7.10. Uninstalling the AWS EFS CSI Driver Operator All EFS PVs are inaccessible after uninstalling the AWS EFS CSI Driver Operator. Prerequisites Access to the OpenShift Container Platform web console. Procedure To uninstall the AWS EFS CSI Driver Operator from the web console: Log in to the web console. Stop all applications that use AWS EFS PVs. Delete all AWS EFS PVs: Click Storage PersistentVolumeClaims . Select each PVC that is in use by the AWS EFS CSI Driver Operator, click the drop-down menu on the far right of the PVC, and then click Delete PersistentVolumeClaims . Uninstall the AWS EFS CSI Driver: Note Before you can uninstall the Operator, you must remove the CSI driver first. Click administration CustomResourceDefinitions ClusterCSIDriver . On the Instances tab, for efs.csi.aws.com , on the far left side, click the drop-down menu, and then click Delete ClusterCSIDriver . When prompted, click Delete . Uninstall the AWS EFS CSI Operator: Click Operators Installed Operators . On the Installed Operators page, scroll or type AWS EFS CSI into the Search by name box to find the Operator, and then click it. On the upper, right of the Installed Operators > Operator details page, click Actions Uninstall Operator . When prompted on the Uninstall Operator window, click the Uninstall button to remove the Operator from the namespace. Any applications deployed by the Operator on the cluster need to be cleaned up manually. After uninstalling, the AWS EFS CSI Driver Operator is no longer listed in the Installed Operators section of the web console. Note Before you can destroy a cluster ( openshift-install destroy cluster ), you must delete the EFS volume in AWS. An OpenShift Container Platform cluster cannot be destroyed when there is an EFS volume that uses the cluster's VPC. Amazon does not allow deletion of such a VPC. 5.7.11.

Overview OpenShift Container Platform is capable of provisioning persistent volumes (PVs) using the Container Storage Interface (CSI) driver for Microsoft Azure Disk Storage. Important Azure Disk CSI Driver Operator is a Technology Preview feature only. Technology Preview features are not supported with Red Hat production service level agreements (SLAs) and might not be functionally complete. Red Hat does not recommend using them in production. These features provide early access to upcoming product features, enabling customers to test functionality and provide feedback during the development process. For more information about the support scope of Red Hat Technology Preview features, see Technology Preview Features Support Scope . Familiarity with persistent storage and configuring CSI volumes is recommended when working with a CSI Operator and driver. To create CSI-provisioned PVs that mount to Azure Disk storage assets with this feature is enabled, OpenShift Container Platform installs the Azure Disk CSI Driver Operator and the Azure Disk CSI driver by default in the openshift-cluster-csi-drivers namespace. The Azure Disk CSI Driver Operator , after being enabled, provides a storage class named managed-csi that you can use to create persistent volume claims (PVCs). The Azure Disk CSI Driver Operator supports dynamic volume provisioning by allowing storage volumes to be created on-demand, eliminating the need for cluster administrators to pre-provision storage. The Azure Disk CSI driver enables you to create and mount Azure Disk PVs. 5.8.2. About CSI Storage vendors have traditionally provided storage drivers as part of Kubernetes. With the implementation of the Container Storage Interface (CSI), third-party providers can instead deliver storage plugins using a standard interface without ever having to change the core Kubernetes code. CSI Operators give OpenShift Container Platform users storage options, such as volume snapshots, that are not possible with in-tree volume plugins. Important OpenShift Container Platform defaults to using an in-tree (non-CSI) plugin to provision Azure Disk storage. In future OpenShift Container Platform versions, volumes provisioned using existing in-tree plugins are planned for migration to their equivalent CSI driver. CSI automatic migration should be seamless. Migration does not change how you use all existing API objects, such as persistent volumes, persistent volume claims, and storage classes. For more information about migration, see CSI automatic migration . After full migration, in-tree plugins will eventually be removed in later versions of OpenShift Container Platform. 5.8.3. Enabling the Azure CSI Driver Operator To enable the Azure Container Storage Interface (CSI) Driver Operator, you must enable feature gates with the TechPreviewNoUpgrade feature set. Procedure Enable feature gates with the TechPreviewNoUpgrade feature set (see Nodes Enabling features using feature gates ). Important After turning Technology Preview features on by using feature gates, they cannot be turned off and cluster upgrades are prevented.

Azure Stack Hub CSI Driver Operator 5.9.1. Overview OpenShift Container Platform is capable of provisioning persistent volumes (PVs) using the Container Storage Interface (CSI) driver for Azure Stack Hub Storage. Azure Stack Hub, which is part of the Azure Stack portfolio, allows you to run apps in an on-premises environment and deliver Azure services in your datacenter. Familiarity with persistent storage and configuring CSI volumes is recommended when working with a CSI Operator and driver. To create CSI-provisioned PVs that mount to Azure Stack Hub storage assets, OpenShift Container Platform installs the Azure Stack Hub CSI Driver Operator and the Azure Stack Hub CSI driver by default in the openshift-cluster-csi-drivers namespace. The Azure Stack Hub CSI Driver Operator provides a storage class ( managed-csi ), with "Standard_LRS" as the default storage account type, that you can use to create persistent volume claims (PVCs). The Azure Stack Hub CSI Driver Operator supports dynamic volume provisioning by allowing storage volumes to be created on-demand, eliminating the need for cluster administrators to pre-provision storage. The Azure Stack Hub CSI driver enables you to create and mount Azure Stack Hub PVs. 5.9.2. About CSI Storage vendors have traditionally provided storage drivers as part of Kubernetes. With the implementation of the Container Storage Interface (CSI), third-party providers can instead deliver storage plugins using a standard interface without ever having to change the core Kubernetes code.

Additional resources Configuring CSI volumes 5.10. GCP PD CSI Driver Operator 5.10.1. Overview OpenShift Container Platform can provision persistent volumes (PVs) using the Container Storage Interface (CSI) driver for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) persistent disk (PD) storage. Familiarity with persistent storage and configuring CSI volumes is recommended when working with a Container Storage Interface (CSI) Operator and driver. To create CSI-provisioned persistent volumes (PVs) that mount to GCP PD storage assets, OpenShift Container Platform installs the GCP PD CSI Driver Operator and the GCP PD CSI driver by default in the openshift-cluster-csi-drivers namespace. GCP PD CSI Driver Operator : By default, the Operator provides a storage class that you can use to create PVCs. You also have the option to create the GCP PD storage class as described in Persistent storage using GCE Persistent Disk . GCP PD driver : The driver enables you to create and mount GCP PD PVs. Important OpenShift Container Platform defaults to using an in-tree (non-CSI) plugin to provision GCP PD storage. In future OpenShift Container Platform versions, volumes provisioned using existing in-tree plugins are planned for migration to their equivalent CSI driver. CSI automatic migration should be seamless. Migration does not change how you use all existing API objects, such as persistent volumes, persistent volume claims, and storage classes. For more information about migration, see CSI automatic migration . After full migration, in-tree plugins will eventually be removed in future versions of OpenShift Container Platform. 5.10.2.

CSI Operators give OpenShift Container Platform users storage options, such as volume snapshots, that are not possible with in-tree volume plugins. 5.10.3. GCP PD CSI driver storage class parameters The Google Cloud Platform (GCP) persistent disk (PD) Container Storage Interface (CSI) driver uses the CSI external-provisioner sidecar as a controller. This is a separate helper container that is deployed with the CSI driver. The sidecar manages persistent volumes (PVs) by triggering the CreateVolume operation. The GCP PD CSI driver uses the csi.storage.k8s.io/fstype parameter key to support dynamic provisioning. The following table describes all the GCP PD CSI storage class parameters that are supported by OpenShift Container Platform. Table 5.2. CreateVolume Parameters Parameter Values Default Description type pd-ssd or pd-standard pd-standard Allows you to choose between standard PVs or solid-state-drive PVs. replication-type none or regional-pd none Allows you to choose between zonal or regional PVs. disk-encryption-kms-key Fully qualified resource identifier for the key to use to encrypt new disks. Empty string Uses customer-managed encryption keys (CMEK) to encrypt new disks. 5.10.4. Creating a custom-encrypted persistent volume When you create a PersistentVolumeClaim object, OpenShift Container Platform provisions a new persistent volume (PV) and creates a PersistentVolume object. You can add a custom encryption key in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) to protect a PV in your cluster by encrypting the newly created PV. For encryption, the newly attached PV that you create uses customer-managed encryption keys (CMEK) on a cluster by using a new or existing Google Cloud Key Management Service (KMS) key. Prerequisites You are logged in to a running OpenShift Container Platform cluster. You have created a Cloud KMS key ring and key version. For more information about CMEK and Cloud KMS resources, see Using customer-managed encryption keys (CMEK) . Procedure To create a custom-encrypted PV, complete the following steps: Create a storage class with the Cloud KMS key. The following example enables dynamic provisioning of encrypted volumes: apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1 kind: StorageClass metadata: name: csi-gce-pd-cmek provisioner: pd.csi.storage.gke.io volumeBindingMode: "WaitForFirstConsumer" allowVolumeExpansion: true parameters: type: pd-standard disk-encryption-kms-key: projects/<key-project-id>/locations/<location>/keyRings/<key-ring>/cryptoKeys/<key> 1 1 This field must be the resource identifier for the key that will be used to encrypt new disks. Values are case-sensitive. For more information about providing key ID values, see Retrieving a resource's ID and Getting a Cloud KMS resource ID . Note You cannot add the disk-encryption-kms-key parameter to an existing storage class. However, you can delete the storage class and recreate it with the same name and a different set of parameters. If you do this, the provisioner of the existing class must be pd.csi.storage.gke.io . Deploy the storage class on your OpenShift Container Platform cluster using the oc command: USD oc describe storageclass csi-gce-pd-cmek Example output Name: csi-gce-pd-cmek IsDefaultClass: No Annotations: None Provisioner: pd.csi.storage.gke.io Parameters: disk-encryption-kms-key=projects/key-project-id/locations/location/keyRings/ring-name/cryptoKeys/key-name,type=pd-standard AllowVolumeExpansion: true MountOptions: none ReclaimPolicy: Delete VolumeBindingMode: WaitForFirstConsumer Events: none Create a file named pvc.yaml that matches the name of your storage class object that you created in the step: kind: PersistentVolumeClaim apiVersion: v1 metadata: name: podpvc spec: accessModes: - ReadWriteOnce storageClassName: csi-gce-pd-cmek resources: requests: storage: 6Gi Note If you marked the new storage class as default, you can omit the storageClassName field. Apply the PVC on your cluster: USD oc apply -f pvc.yaml Get the status of your PVC and verify that it is created and bound to a newly provisioned PV: USD oc get pvc Example output NAME STATUS VOLUME CAPACITY ACCESS MODES STORAGECLASS AGE podpvc Bound pvc-e36abf50-84f3-11e8-8538-42010a800002 10Gi RWO csi-gce-pd-cmek 9s Note If your storage class has the volumeBindingMode field set to WaitForFirstConsumer , you must create a pod to use the PVC before you can verify it. Your CMEK-protected PV is now ready to use with your OpenShift Container Platform cluster. Additional resources Persistent storage using GCE Persistent Disk Configuring CSI volumes 5.11. OpenStack Cinder CSI Driver Operator 5.11.1. Overview OpenShift Container Platform is capable of provisioning persistent volumes (PVs) using the Container Storage Interface (CSI) driver for OpenStack Cinder. Familiarity with persistent storage and configuring CSI volumes is recommended when working with a Container Storage Interface (CSI) Operator and driver. To create CSI-provisioned PVs that mount to OpenStack Cinder storage assets, OpenShift Container Platform installs the OpenStack Cinder CSI Driver Operator and the OpenStack Cinder CSI driver in the openshift-cluster-csi-drivers namespace. The OpenStack Cinder CSI Driver Operator provides a CSI storage class that you can use to create PVCs. The OpenStack Cinder CSI driver enables you to create and mount OpenStack Cinder PVs. For OpenShift Container Platform, automatic migration from OpenStack Cinder in-tree to the CSI driver is available as a Technology Preview (TP) feature. With migration enabled, volumes provisioned using the existing in-tree plugin are automatically migrated to use the OpenStack Cinder CSI driver. For more information, see CSI automatic migration feature . 5.11.2. About CSI Storage vendors have traditionally provided storage drivers as part of Kubernetes. With the implementation of the Container Storage Interface (CSI), third-party providers can instead deliver storage plugins using a standard interface without ever having to change the core Kubernetes code.

CSI automatic migration should be seamless. Migration does not change how you use all existing API objects, such as persistent volumes, persistent volume claims, and storage classes. For more information about migration, see CSI automatic migration . After full migration, in-tree plugins will eventually be removed in future versions of OpenShift Container Platform. 5.11.3. Making OpenStack Cinder CSI the default storage class The OpenStack Cinder CSI driver uses the cinder.csi.openstack.org parameter key to support dynamic provisioning. To enable OpenStack Cinder CSI provisioning in OpenShift Container Platform, it is recommended that you overwrite the default in-tree storage class with standard-csi . Alternatively, you can create the persistent volume claim (PVC) and specify the storage class as "standard-csi". In OpenShift Container Platform, the default storage class references the in-tree Cinder driver. However, with CSI automatic migration enabled, volumes created using the default storage class actually use the CSI driver. Procedure Use the following steps to apply the standard-csi storage class by overwriting the default in-tree storage class. List the storage class: USD oc get storageclass Example output NAME PROVISIONER RECLAIMPOLICY VOLUMEBINDINGMODE ALLOWVOLUMEEXPANSION AGE standard(default) cinder.csi.openstack.org Delete WaitForFirstConsumer true 46h standard-csi kubernetes.io/cinder Delete WaitForFirstConsumer true 46h Change the value of the annotation storageclass.kubernetes.io/is-default-class to false for the default storage class, as shown in the following example: USD oc patch storageclass standard -p '{"metadata": {"annotations": {"storageclass.kubernetes.io/is-default-class": "false"}}}' Make another storage class the default by adding or modifying the annotation as storageclass.kubernetes.io/is-default-class=true . USD oc patch storageclass standard-csi -p '{"metadata": {"annotations": {"storageclass.kubernetes.io/is-default-class": "true"}}}' Verify that the PVC is now referencing the CSI storage class by default: USD oc get storageclass Example output NAME PROVISIONER RECLAIMPOLICY VOLUMEBINDINGMODE ALLOWVOLUMEEXPANSION AGE standard kubernetes.io/cinder Delete WaitForFirstConsumer true 46h standard-csi(default) cinder.csi.openstack.org Delete WaitForFirstConsumer true 46h Optional: You can define a new PVC without having to specify the storage class: apiVersion: v1 kind: PersistentVolumeClaim metadata: name: cinder-claim spec: accessModes: - ReadWriteOnce resources: requests: storage: 1Gi A PVC that does not specify a specific storage class is automatically provisioned by using the default storage class.

OpenStack Manila CSI Driver Operator 5.12.1. Overview OpenShift Container Platform is capable of provisioning persistent volumes (PVs) using the Container Storage Interface (CSI) driver for the OpenStack Manila shared file system service. Familiarity with persistent storage and configuring CSI volumes is recommended when working with a Container Storage Interface (CSI) Operator and driver. To create CSI-provisioned PVs that mount to Manila storage assets, OpenShift Container Platform installs the Manila CSI Driver Operator and the Manila CSI driver by default on any OpenStack cluster that has the Manila service enabled. The Manila CSI Driver Operator creates the required storage class that is needed to create PVCs for all available Manila share types. The Operator is installed in the openshift-cluster-csi-drivers namespace. The Manila CSI driver enables you to create and mount Manila PVs. The driver is installed in the openshift-manila-csi-driver namespace. 5.12.2. About CSI Storage vendors have traditionally provided storage drivers as part of Kubernetes. With the implementation of the Container Storage Interface (CSI), third-party providers can instead deliver storage plugins using a standard interface without ever having to change the core Kubernetes code. CSI Operators give OpenShift Container Platform users storage options, such as volume snapshots, that are not possible with in-tree volume plugins. 5.12.3. Manila CSI Driver Operator limitations The following limitations apply to the Manila Container Storage Interface (CSI) Driver Operator: Only NFS is supported OpenStack Manila supports many network-attached storage protocols, such as NFS, CIFS, and CEPHFS, and these can be selectively enabled in the OpenStack cloud. The Manila CSI Driver Operator in OpenShift Container Platform only supports using the NFS protocol. If NFS is not available and enabled in the underlying OpenStack cloud, you cannot use the Manila CSI Driver Operator to provision storage for OpenShift Container Platform. Snapshots are not supported if the back end is CephFS-NFS To take snapshots of persistent volumes (PVs) and revert volumes to snapshots, you must ensure that the Manila share type that you are using supports these features. A Red Hat OpenStack administrator must enable support for snapshots ( share type extra-spec snapshot_support ) and for creating shares from snapshots ( share type extra-spec create_share_from_snapshot_support ) in the share type associated with the storage class you intend to use. FSGroups are not supported Since Manila CSI provides shared file systems for access by multiple readers and multiple writers, it does not support the use of FSGroups. This is true even for persistent volumes created with the ReadWriteOnce access mode. It is therefore important not to specify the fsType attribute in any storage class that you manually create for use with Manila CSI Driver. Important In Red Hat OpenStack Platform 16.x and 17.x, the Shared File Systems service (Manila) with CephFS through NFS fully supports serving shares to OpenShift Container Platform through the Manila CSI. However, this solution is not intended for massive scale. Be sure to review important recommendations in CephFS NFS Manila-CSI Workload Recommendations for Red Hat OpenStack Platform . 5.12.4. Dynamically provisioning Manila CSI volumes OpenShift Container Platform installs a storage class for each available Manila share type. The YAML files that are created are completely decoupled from Manila and from its Container Storage Interface (CSI) plugin. As an application developer, you can dynamically provision ReadWriteMany (RWX) storage and deploy pods with applications that safely consume the storage using YAML manifests. You can use the same pod and persistent volume claim (PVC) definitions on-premise that you use with OpenShift Container Platform on AWS, GCP, Azure, and other platforms, with the exception of the storage class reference in the PVC definition. Note Manila service is optional. If the service is not enabled in Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP), the Manila CSI driver is not installed and the storage classes for Manila are not created. Prerequisites RHOSP is deployed with appropriate Manila share infrastructure so that it can be used to dynamically provision and mount volumes in OpenShift Container Platform. Procedure (UI) To dynamically create a Manila CSI volume using the web console: In the OpenShift Container Platform console, click Storage Persistent Volume Claims . In the persistent volume claims overview, click Create Persistent Volume Claim . Define the required options on the resulting page. Select the appropriate storage class. Enter a unique name for the storage claim. Select the access mode to specify read and write access for the PVC you are creating. Important Use RWX if you want the persistent volume (PV) that fulfills this PVC to be mounted to multiple pods on multiple nodes in the cluster. Define the size of the storage claim. Click Create to create the persistent volume claim and generate a persistent volume. Procedure (CLI) To dynamically create a Manila CSI volume using the command-line interface (CLI): Create and save a file with the PersistentVolumeClaim object described by the following YAML: pvc-manila.yaml apiVersion: v1 kind: PersistentVolumeClaim metadata: name: pvc-manila spec: accessModes: 1 - ReadWriteMany resources: requests: storage: 10Gi storageClassName: csi-manila-gold 2 1 Use RWX if you want the persistent volume (PV) that fulfills this PVC to be mounted to multiple pods on multiple nodes in the cluster. 2 The name of the storage class that provisions the storage back end. Manila storage classes are provisioned by the Operator and have the csi-manila- prefix. Create the object you saved in the step by running the following command: USD oc create -f pvc-manila.yaml A new PVC is created. To verify that the volume was created and is ready, run the following command: USD oc get pvc pvc-manila The pvc-manila shows that it is Bound . You can now use the new PVC to configure a pod.

Overview OpenShift Container Platform is capable of provisioning persistent volumes (PVs) using the Container Storage Interface (CSI) driver for Red Hat Virtualization (RHV). Familiarity with persistent storage and configuring CSI volumes is recommended when working with a Container Storage Interface (CSI) Operator and driver. To create CSI-provisioned PVs that mount to RHV storage assets, OpenShift Container Platform installs the oVirt CSI Driver Operator and the oVirt CSI driver by default in the openshift-cluster-csi-drivers namespace. The oVirt CSI Driver Operator provides a default StorageClass object that you can use to create Persistent Volume Claims (PVCs). The oVirt CSI driver enables you to create and mount oVirt PVs. 5.13.2. About CSI Storage vendors have traditionally provided storage drivers as part of Kubernetes. With the implementation of the Container Storage Interface (CSI), third-party providers can instead deliver storage plugins using a standard interface without ever having to change the core Kubernetes code. CSI Operators give OpenShift Container Platform users storage options, such as volume snapshots, that are not possible with in-tree volume plugins. Note The oVirt CSI driver does not support snapshots. 5.13.3. Red Hat Virtualization (RHV) CSI driver storage class OpenShift Container Platform creates a default object of type StorageClass named ovirt-csi-sc which is used for creating dynamically provisioned persistent volumes. To create additional storage classes for different configurations, create and save a file with the StorageClass object described by the following sample YAML: ovirt-storageclass.yaml apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1 kind: StorageClass metadata: name: <storage_class_name> 1 annotations: storageclass.kubernetes.io/is-default-class: "<boolean>" 2 provisioner: csi.ovirt.org allowVolumeExpansion: <boolean> 3 reclaimPolicy: Delete 4 volumeBindingMode: Immediate 5 parameters: storageDomainName: <rhv-storage-domain-name> 6 thinProvisioning: "<boolean>" 7 csi.storage.k8s.io/fstype: <file_system_type> 8 1 Name of the storage class. 2 Set to false if the storage class is the default storage class in the cluster. If set to true , the existing default storage class must be edited and set to false . 3 true enables dynamic volume expansion, false prevents it. true is recommended. 4 Dynamically provisioned persistent volumes of this storage class are created with this reclaim policy. This default policy is Delete . 5 Indicates how to provision and bind PersistentVolumeClaims . When not set, VolumeBindingImmediate is used. This field is only applied by servers that enable the VolumeScheduling feature. 6 The RHV storage domain name to use. 7 If true , the disk is thin provisioned. If false , the disk is preallocated. Thin provisioning is recommended. 8 Optional: File system type to be created. Possible values: ext4 (default) or xfs . 5.13.4. Creating a persistent volume on RHV When you create a PersistentVolumeClaim (PVC) object, OpenShift Container Platform provisions a new persistent volume (PV) and creates a PersistentVolume object. Prerequisites You are logged in to a running OpenShift Container Platform cluster. You provided the correct RHV credentials in ovirt-credentials secret. You have installed the oVirt CSI driver. You have defined at least one storage class. Procedure If you are using the web console to dynamically create a persistent volume on RHV: In the OpenShift Container Platform console, click Storage Persistent Volume Claims . In the persistent volume claims overview, click Create Persistent Volume Claim . Define the required options on the resulting page. Select the appropriate StorageClass object, which is ovirt-csi-sc by default. Enter a unique name for the storage claim. Select the access mode. Currently, RWO (ReadWriteOnce) is the only supported access mode. Define the size of the storage claim. Select the Volume Mode: Filesystem : Mounted into pods as a directory. This mode is the default. Block : Block device, without any file system on it Click Create to create the PersistentVolumeClaim object and generate a PersistentVolume object. If you are using the command-line interface (CLI) to dynamically create a RHV CSI volume: Create and save a file with the PersistentVolumeClaim object described by the following sample YAML: pvc-ovirt.yaml apiVersion: v1 kind: PersistentVolumeClaim metadata: name: pvc-ovirt spec: storageClassName: ovirt-csi-sc 1 accessModes: - ReadWriteOnce resources: requests: storage: <volume size> 2 volumeMode: <volume mode> 3 1 Name of the required storage class. 2 Volume size in GiB. 3 Supported options: Filesystem : Mounted into pods as a directory. This mode is the default. Block : Block device, without any file system on it. Create the object you saved in the step by running the following command: To verify that the volume was created and is ready, run the following command: The pvc-ovirt shows that it is Bound.

Overview OpenShift Container Platform can provision persistent volumes (PVs) using the Container Storage Interface (CSI) VMware vSphere driver for Virtual Machine Disk (VMDK) volumes. Important vSphere CSI Driver Operator is a Technology Preview feature only. Technology Preview features are not supported with Red Hat production service level agreements (SLAs) and might not be functionally complete. Red Hat does not recommend using them in production. These features provide early access to upcoming product features, enabling customers to test functionality and provide feedback during the development process. For more information about the support scope of Red Hat Technology Preview features, see Technology Preview Features Support Scope . Familiarity with persistent storage and configuring CSI volumes is recommended when working with a CSI Operator and driver. To create CSI-provisioned persistent volumes (PVs) that mount to vSphere storage assets, OpenShift Container Platform, after this feature is enabled, installs the vSphere CSI Driver Operator and the vSphere CSI driver by default in the openshift-cluster-csi-drivers namespace. vSphere CSI Driver Operator : After being enabled, the Operator provides a storage class, called thin-csi , that you can use to create persistent volumes claims (PVCs). The vSphere CSI Driver Operator supports dynamic volume provisioning by allowing storage volumes to be created on-demand, eliminating the need for cluster administrators to pre-provision storage. vSphere CSI driver : The driver enables you to create and mount vSphere PVs. Important OpenShift Container Platform defaults to using an in-tree (non-CSI) plugin to provision vSphere storage. In future OpenShift Container Platform versions, volumes provisioned using existing in-tree plugins are planned for migration to their equivalent CSI driver. CSI automatic migration should be seamless. Migration does not change how you use all existing API objects, such as persistent volumes, persistent volume claims, and storage classes. For more information about migration, see CSI automatic migration . After full migration, in-tree plugins will eventually be removed in future versions of OpenShift Container Platform. 5.14.2. About CSI Storage vendors have traditionally provided storage drivers as part of Kubernetes. With the implementation of the Container Storage Interface (CSI), third-party providers can instead deliver storage plugins using a standard interface without ever having to change the core Kubernetes code. CSI Operators give OpenShift Container Platform users storage options, such as volume snapshots, that are not possible with in-tree volume plugins. 5.14.3. vSphere storage policy The vSphere CSI Operator Driver storage class uses vSphere's storage policy. OpenShift Container Platform automatically creates a storage policy that targets datastore configured in cloud configuration: 5.14.4. Enabling the vSphere CSI Driver Operator To enable the vSphere Container Storage Interface (CSI) Driver Operator, you must enable feature gates with the TechPreviewNoUpgrade feature set. Procedure Enable feature gates with the TechPreviewNoUpgrade feature set (see Nodes Enabling features using feature gates ). Important After turning Technology Preview features on by using feature gates, they cannot be turned off and cluster upgrades are prevented.
