To give feedback, create a Bugzilla ticket: Go to the Bugzilla website. In the Component section, choose documentation . Fill in the Description field with your suggestion for improvement. Include a link to the relevant part(s) of documentation. Click Submit Bug . Preface Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation supports deployment on any platform that you provision including bare metal, virtualized, and cloud environments. Both internal and external OpenShift Data Foundation clusters are supported on these environments. See Planning your deployment and Preparing to deploy OpenShift Data Foundation for more information about deployment requirements. To deploy OpenShift Data Foundation, follow the appropriate deployment process based on your requirement: Internal mode Deploy using local storage devices Deploy standalone Multicloud Object Gateway component External mode Chapter 1. Preparing to deploy OpenShift Data Foundation When you deploy OpenShift Data Foundation on OpenShift Container Platform using the local storage devices on any platform, you can create internal cluster resources. This approach internally provisions base services so that all the applications can access additional storage classes. You can also deploy OpenShift Data Foundation to use an external Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster and IBM FlashSystem. For instructions, see Deploying OpenShift Data Foundation in external mode . External mode deployment works on clusters that are detected as non-cloud. If your cluster is not detected correctly, open up a bug in Bugzilla . Before you begin the deployment of Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation using a local storage, ensure that you meet the resource requirements. See Requirements for installing OpenShift Data Foundation using local storage devices . After completing the preparatory steps, perform the following procedures: Install the Local Storage Operator . Install the Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation Operator . Create the OpenShift Data Foundation cluster on any platform . 1.1. Requirements for installing OpenShift Data Foundation using local storage devices Node requirements The cluster must consist of at least three OpenShift Container Platform worker or infrastructure nodes with locally attached-storage devices on each of them. Each of the three selected nodes must have at least one raw block device available. OpenShift Data Foundation uses the one or more available raw block devices. The devices you use must be empty, the disks must not include Physical Volumes (PVs), Volume Groups (VGs), or Logical Volumes (LVs) remaining on the disk. For more information, see the Resource requirements section in the Planning guide . Disaster recovery requirements Disaster Recovery features supported by Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation require all of the following prerequisites to successfully implement a disaster recovery solution: A valid Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation Advanced subscription. A valid Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management (RHACM) for Kubernetes subscription. To know in detail how subscriptions for OpenShift Data Foundation work, see knowledgebase article on OpenShift Data Foundation subscriptions . For detailed disaster recovery solution requirements, see Configuring OpenShift Data Foundation Disaster Recovery for OpenShift Workloads guide, and Requirements and recommendations section of the Install guide in Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes documentation. Minimum starting node requirements An OpenShift Data Foundation cluster is deployed with a minimum configuration when the resource requirement for a standard deployment is not met. For more information, see the Resource requirements section in the Planning guide . Chapter 2. Deploy OpenShift Data Foundation using local storage devices You can deploy OpenShift Data Foundation on any platform including virtualized and cloud environments where OpenShift Container Platform is already installed. Also, it is possible to deploy only the Multicloud Object Gateway (MCG) component with OpenShift Data Foundation. For more information, see Deploy standalone Multicloud Object Gateway . Perform the following steps to deploy OpenShift Data Foundation: Install the Local Storage Operator . Install the Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation Operator . Create an OpenShift Data Foundation cluster on any platform . 2.1. Installing Local Storage Operator Install the Local Storage Operator from the Operator Hub before creating Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation clusters on local storage devices. Procedure Log in to the OpenShift Web Console. Click Operators -> OperatorHub . Type local storage in the Filter by keyword box to find the Local Storage Operator from the list of operators, and click on it. Set the following options on the Install Operator page: Update channel as stable . Installation mode as A specific namespace on the cluster . Installed Namespace as Operator recommended namespace openshift-local-storage . Update approval as Automatic . Click Install . Verification steps Verify that the Local Storage Operator shows a green tick indicating successful installation. 2.2. 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. 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 openshift-storage namespace (create openshift-storage namespace in this case): 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: Update Channel as stable-4.17 . Installation Mode as A specific namespace on the cluster . Installed Namespace as Operator recommended namespace openshift-storage . If Namespace openshift-storage does not exist, it is created during the operator installation. 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. 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. 2.3. Creating OpenShift Data Foundation cluster on any platform Prerequisites Ensure that all the requirements in the Requirements for installing OpenShift Data Foundation using local storage devices section are met. Ensure that the disk type is SSD, which is the only supported disk type. If you want to use multus networking, you must create network attachment definitions (NADs) before deployment which is later attached to the cluster. For more information, see Multi network plug-in (Multus) support and Creating network attachment definitions . Procedure In the OpenShift Web Console, click Operators -> Installed Operators to view all the installed operators. Ensure that the Project selected is openshift-storage . Click on the OpenShift Data Foundation operator, and then click Create StorageSystem . In the Backing storage page, perform the following: Select Full Deployment for the Deployment type option. Select the Create a new StorageClass using the local storage devices option. Optional: Select Use external PostgreSQL checkbox to use an external PostgreSQL [Technology preview] . This provides high availability solution for Multicloud Object Gateway where the PostgreSQL pod is a single point of failure. Provide the following connection details: Username Password Server name and Port Database name Select Enable TLS/SSL checkbox to enable encryption for the Postgres server. Click . Important You are prompted to install the Local Storage Operator if it is not already installed. Click Install , and follow the procedure as described in Installing Local Storage Operator . In the Create local volume set page, provide the following information: Enter a name for the LocalVolumeSet and the StorageClass . The local volume set name appears as the default value for the storage class name. You can change the name. Select one of the following: Disks on all nodes Uses the available disks that match the selected filters on all the nodes. Disks on selected nodes Uses the available disks that match the selected filters only on the selected nodes. Important The flexible scaling feature is enabled only when the storage cluster that you created with three or more nodes are spread across fewer than the minimum requirement of three availability zones. For information about flexible scaling, see knowledgebase article on Scaling OpenShift Data Foundation cluster using YAML when flexible scaling is enabled . Flexible scaling features get enabled at the time of deployment and can not be enabled or disabled later on. If the nodes selected do not match the OpenShift Data Foundation cluster requirement of an aggregated 30 CPUs and 72 GiB of RAM, a minimal cluster is deployed if at least 24 CPUs and 72 GiB of RAM is available. For minimum starting node requirements, see the Resource requirements section in the Planning guide. From the available list of Disk Type , select SSD/NVMe . Expand the Advanced section and set the following options: Volume Mode Block is selected as the default value. Device Type Select one or more device types from the dropdown list. Disk Size Set a minimum size of 100GB for the device and maximum available size of the device that needs to be included. Maximum Disks Limit This indicates the maximum number of Persistent Volumes (PVs) that you can create on a node. If this field is left empty, then PVs are created for all the available disks on the matching nodes. Click . A pop-up to confirm the creation of LocalVolumeSet is displayed. Click Yes to continue. In the Capacity and nodes page, configure the following: Available raw capacity is populated with the capacity value based on all the attached disks associated with the storage class. This takes some time to show up. The Selected nodes list shows the nodes based on the storage class. 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 requirement: To enable encryption, select Enable data encryption for block and file storage . Select one or both of the following Encryption level : 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. From the Key Management Service Provider drop-down list, either select Vault or Thales CipherTrust Manager (using KMIP) .

Verifying the OpenShift Data Foundation cluster is healthy Procedure In the OpenShift Web Console, click Storage -> Data Foundation . In the Status card of the Overview tab, click Storage System and then click the storage system link from the pop up that appears. In the Status card of the Block and File tab, verify that the Storage Cluster has a green tick. In the Details card, verify that the cluster information is displayed. For more information on the health of the OpenShift Data Foundation cluster using the Block and File dashboard, see Monitoring OpenShift Data Foundation . 2.4.3. Verifying the Multicloud Object Gateway is healthy Procedure In the OpenShift Web Console, click Storage -> Data Foundation . In the Status card of the Overview tab, click Storage System and then click the storage system link from the pop up that appears. In the Status card of the Object tab, verify that both Object Service and Data Resiliency have a green tick. In the Details card, verify that the MCG information is displayed. For more information on the health of the OpenShift Data Foundation cluster using the object service dashboard, see Monitoring OpenShift Data Foundation . Important The Multicloud Object Gateway only has a single copy of the database (NooBaa DB). This means if NooBaa DB PVC gets corrupted and we are unable to recover it, can result in total data loss of applicative data residing on the Multicloud Object Gateway. Because of this, Red Hat recommends taking a backup of NooBaa DB PVC regularly. If NooBaa DB fails and cannot be recovered, then you can revert to the latest backed-up version. For instructions on backing up your NooBaa DB, follow the steps in this knowledgabase article . 2.4.4. Verifying that the specific storage classes exist Procedure Click Storage -> Storage Classes from the left pane of the OpenShift Web Console. Verify that the following storage classes are created with the OpenShift Data Foundation cluster creation: ocs-storagecluster-ceph-rbd ocs-storagecluster-cephfs openshift-storage.noobaa.io ocs-storagecluster-ceph-rgw 2.4.5. Verifying the Multus networking To determine if Multus is working in your cluster, verify the Multus networking. Procedure Based on your Network configuration choices, the OpenShift Data Foundation operator will do one of the following: If only a single NetworkAttachmentDefinition (for example, ocs-public-cluster ) was selected for the Public Network Interface, then the traffic between the application pods and the OpenShift Data Foundation cluster will happen on this network. Additionally the cluster will be self configured to also use this network for the replication and rebalancing traffic between OSDs. If both NetworkAttachmentDefinitions (for example, ocs-public and ocs-cluster ) were selected for the Public Network Interface and the Cluster Network Interface respectively during the Storage Cluster installation, then client storage traffic will be on the public network and cluster network for the replication and rebalancing traffic between OSDs. To verify the network configuration is correct, complete the following: In the OpenShift console, navigate to Installed Operators -> OpenShift Data Foundation -> Storage System -> ocs-storagecluster-storagesystem -> Resources -> ocs-storagecluster . In the YAML tab, search for network in the spec section and ensure the configuration is correct for your network interface choices. This example is for separating the client storage traffic from the storage replication traffic. Sample output: To verify the network configuration is correct using the command line interface, run the following commands: Sample output: Confirm the OSD pods are using correct network In the openshift-storage namespace use one of the OSD pods to verify the pod has connectivity to the correct networks. This example is for separating the client storage traffic from the storage replication traffic. Note Only the OSD pods will connect to both Multus public and cluster networks if both are created. All other OCS pods will connect to the Multus public network. Sample output: To confirm the OSD pods are using correct network using the command line interface, run the following command (requires the jq utility): Sample output: Chapter 3. Deploy standalone Multicloud Object Gateway Deploying only the Multicloud Object Gateway component with the OpenShift Data Foundation provides the flexibility in deployment and helps to reduce the resource consumption. Use this section to deploy only the standalone Multicloud Object Gateway component, which involves the following steps: Installing the Local Storage Operator. Installing Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation Operator Creating standalone Multicloud Object Gateway Important The Multicloud Object Gateway only has a single copy of the database (NooBaa DB). This means if NooBaa DB PVC gets corrupted and we are unable to recover it, can result in total data loss of applicative data residing on the Multicloud Object Gateway. Because of this, Red Hat recommends taking a backup of NooBaa DB PVC regularly. If NooBaa DB fails and cannot be recovered, then you can revert to the latest backed-up version.
