Preface Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation supports deployment on existing Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS with hosted control planes. Note Only internal OpenShift Data Foundation clusters are supported on AWS. See Planning your deployment and Preparing to deploy OpenShift Data Foundation for more information about deployment requirements. To deploy OpenShift Data Foundation, start with the requirements in Preparing to deploy OpenShift Data Foundation chapter and then follow the deployment process in Deploying using dynamic storage devices . Chapter 1. Preparing to deploy OpenShift Data Foundation Deploying OpenShift Data Foundation on OpenShift Container Platform using dynamic storage devices provides you with the option to create internal cluster resources. Before you begin the deployment of Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation, follow these steps: Optional: If you want to enable cluster-wide encryption using the external Key Management System (KMS) HashiCorp Vault, follow these steps: Ensure that you have a valid Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation Advanced subscription. To know how subscriptions for OpenShift Data Foundation work, see knowledgebase article on OpenShift Data Foundation subscriptions . When the Token authentication method is selected for encryption then refer to Enabling cluster-wide encryption with the Token authentication using KMS . When the Kubernetes authentication method is selected for encryption then refer to Enabling cluster-wide encryption with the Kubernetes authentication using KMS . Ensure that you are using signed certificates on your Vault servers. Optional: If you want to enable cluster-wide encryption using the external Key Management System (KMS) Thales CipherTrust Manager, you must first enable the Key Management Interoperability Protocol (KMIP) and use signed certificates on your server. Create a KMIP client if one does not exist. From the user interface, select KMIP -> Client Profile -> Add Profile . Add the CipherTrust username to the Common Name field during profile creation. Create a token by navigating to KMIP -> Registration Token -> New Registration Token . Copy the token for the step. To register the client, navigate to KMIP -> Registered Clients -> Add Client . Specify the Name . Paste the Registration Token from the step, then click Save . Download the Private Key and Client Certificate by clicking Save Private Key and Save Certificate respectively. To create a new KMIP interface, navigate to Admin Settings -> Interfaces -> Add Interface . Select KMIP Key Management Interoperability Protocol and click . Select a free Port . Select Network Interface as all . Select Interface Mode as TLS, verify client cert, user name taken from client cert, auth request is optional . (Optional) You can enable hard delete to delete both metadata and material when the key is deleted. It is disabled by default. Select the certificate authority (CA) to be used, and click Save . To get the server CA certificate, click on the Action menu (...) on the right of the newly created interface, and click Download Certificate . Optional: If StorageClass encryption is to be enabled during deployment, create a key to act as the Key Encryption Key (KEK): Navigate to Keys -> Add Key . Enter Key Name . Set the Algorithm and Size to AES and 256 respectively. Enable Create a key in Pre-Active state and set the date and time for activation. Ensure that Encrypt and Decrypt are enabled under Key Usage . Copy the ID of the newly created Key to be used as the Unique Identifier during deployment. Minimum starting node requirements An OpenShift Data Foundation cluster is deployed with minimum configuration when the standard deployment resource requirement is not met. See Resource requirements section in the Planning guide . Important In order perform stop and start node operations, or to create or add a machine pool, it is necessary to apply proper labeling. For example: Replace <cluster-name> with the cluster name and <machinepool-name> with the machine pool name. Chapter 2. Deploy OpenShift Data Foundation using dynamic storage devices You can deploy OpenShift Data Foundation on OpenShift Container Platform using dynamic storage devices provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS) EBS (type, gp2-csi or gp3-csi ) that provides you with the option to create internal cluster resources. This results in the internal provisioning of the base services, which helps to make additional storage classes available to applications. Although, it is possible to deploy only the Multicloud Object Gateway (MCG) component with OpenShift Data Foundation, this deployment method is not supported on ROSA. Note Only internal OpenShift Data Foundation clusters are supported on ROSA. See Planning your deployment for more information about deployment requirements. Also, ensure that you have addressed the requirements in Preparing to deploy OpenShift Data Foundation chapter before proceeding with the below steps for deploying using dynamic storage devices: Install the Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation Operator . Create the OpenShift Data Foundation Cluster . 2.1. Installing Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation Operator You can install Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation Operator using the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform Operator Hub for ROSA with hosted control planes (HCP). Prerequisites Access to an OpenShift Container Platform cluster using an account with cluster-admin and operator installation permissions. You must have at least three worker or infrastructure nodes in the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform cluster. For additional resource requirements, see the Planning your deployment guide. Important When you need to override the cluster-wide default node selector for OpenShift Data Foundation, you can use the following command to specify a blank node selector for the storage namespace: Taint a node as infra to ensure only Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation resources are scheduled on that node. This helps you save on subscription costs. For more information, see the How to use dedicated worker nodes for Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation section in the Managing and Allocating Storage Resources guide. Procedure Log in to the OpenShift Web Console. Click Operators -> OperatorHub . Scroll or type OpenShift Data Foundation into the Filter by keyword box to find the OpenShift Data Foundation Operator. Click Install . Set the following options on the Install Operator page: Fill in role ARN . For instruction to create a Amazon resource name (ARN), see Creating an AWS role using a script . Update Channel as stable-4.17 . Installation Mode as A specific namespace on the cluster . Installed Namespace as Select a Namespace . Note openshift-storage Namespace is not recommended for ROSA deployments. Use a user defined namespace for this deployment. Avoid using "redhat" or "openshift" prefixes in namespaces. Important This guide uses <storage_namespace> as an example namespace. Replace <storage_namespace> with your defined namespace in later steps. Select Approval Strategy as Automatic or Manual . If you select Automatic updates, then the Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM) automatically upgrades the running instance of your Operator without any intervention. If you select Manual updates, then the OLM creates an update request. As a cluster administrator, you must then manually approve that update request to update the Operator to a newer version. Manual updates strategy is recommended for ROSA with hosted control planes. Ensure that the Enable option is selected for the Console plugin . Click Install . Verification steps After the operator is successfully installed, a pop-up with a message, Web console update is available appears on the user interface. Click Refresh web console from this pop-up for the console changes to reflect. In the Web Console: Navigate to Installed Operators and verify that the OpenShift Data Foundation Operator shows a green tick indicating successful installation. Navigate to Storage and verify if the Data Foundation dashboard is available. 2.2. Enabling cluster-wide encryption with KMS using the Token authentication method You can enable the key value backend path and policy in the vault for token authentication. Prerequisites Administrator access to the vault. A valid Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation Advanced subscription. For more information, see the knowledgebase article on OpenShift Data Foundation subscriptions . Carefully, select a unique path name as the backend path that follows the naming convention since you cannot change it later. Procedure Enable the Key/Value (KV) backend path in the vault. For vault KV secret engine API, version 1: For vault KV secret engine API, version 2: Create a policy to restrict the users to perform a write or delete operation on the secret: Create a token that matches the above policy: 2.3. Enabling cluster-wide encryption with KMS using the Kubernetes authentication method You can enable the Kubernetes authentication method for cluster-wide encryption using the Key Management System (KMS). Prerequisites Administrator access to Vault. A valid Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation Advanced subscription. For more information, see the knowledgebase article on OpenShift Data Foundation subscriptions . The OpenShift Data Foundation operator must be installed from the Operator Hub. Select a unique path name as the backend path that follows the naming convention carefully. You cannot change this path name later. Procedure Create a service account: where, <serviceaccount_name> specifies the name of the service account. For example: Create clusterrolebindings and clusterroles : For example: Create a secret for the serviceaccount token and CA certificate. where, <serviceaccount_name> is the service account created in the earlier step, and <storage_namespace> is the namespace where ODF operator and StorageSystem were created. Get the token and the CA certificate from the secret. Retrieve the OCP cluster endpoint. Fetch the service account issuer: Use the information collected in the step to setup the Kubernetes authentication method in Vault: Important To configure the Kubernetes authentication method in Vault when the issuer is empty: Enable the Key/Value (KV) backend path in Vault. For Vault KV secret engine API, version 1: For Vault KV secret engine API, version 2: Create a policy to restrict the users to perform a write or delete operation on the secret: Generate the roles: The role odf-rook-ceph-op is later used while you configure the KMS connection details during the creation of the storage system. 2.4. Creating an OpenShift Data Foundation cluster Create an OpenShift Data Foundation cluster after you install the OpenShift Data Foundation operator. Procedure In the OpenShift Web Console, click Operators -> Installed Operators to view all the installed operators. Select <storage-namespace> from the Project drop-down list.

In the Capacity and nodes page, provide the necessary information: Select a value for Requested Capacity from the dropdown list. It is set to 2 TiB by default. Note Once you select the initial storage capacity, cluster expansion is performed only using the selected usable capacity (three times of raw storage). In the Select Nodes section, select at least three available nodes. In the Configure performance section, select one of the following performance profiles: Lean Use this in a resource constrained environment with minimum resources that are lower than the recommended. This profile minimizes resource consumption by allocating fewer CPUs and less memory. Balanced (default) Use this when recommended resources are available. This profile provides a balance between resource consumption and performance for diverse workloads. Performance Use this in an environment with sufficient resources to get the best performance. This profile is tailored for high performance by allocating ample memory and CPUs to ensure optimal execution of demanding workloads. Note You have the option to configure the performance profile even after the deployment using the Configure performance option from the options menu of the StorageSystems tab. Important Before selecting a resource profile, make sure to check the current availability of resources within the cluster. Opting for a higher resource profile in a cluster with insufficient resources might lead to installation failures. For more information about resource requirements, see Resource requirement for performance profiles . Optional: Select the Taint nodes checkbox to dedicate the selected nodes for OpenShift Data Foundation. Click . Optional: In the Security and network page, configure the following based on your requirements: To enable encryption, select Enable data encryption for block and file storage . Select either one or both the encryption levels: Cluster-wide encryption Encrypts the entire cluster (block and file). StorageClass encryption Creates encrypted persistent volume (block only) using encryption enabled storage class. Optional: Select the Connect to an external key management service checkbox. This is optional for cluster-wide encryption.
