Chapter 13, Managing container storage interface (CSI) component placements provides information about setting tolerations to bring up container storage interface component on the nodes. Chapter 2. Storage classes The OpenShift Data Foundation operator installs a default storage class depending on the platform in use. This default storage class is owned and controlled by the operator and it cannot be deleted or modified. However, you can create custom storage classes to use other storage resources or to offer a different behavior to applications. Note Custom storage classes are not supported for external mode OpenShift Data Foundation clusters. 2.1. Creating storage classes and pools You can create a storage class using an existing pool or you can create a new pool for the storage class while creating it. Prerequisites Ensure that you are logged into the OpenShift Container Platform web console and OpenShift Data Foundation cluster is in Ready state. Procedure Click Storage -> StorageClasses . Click Create Storage Class . Enter the storage class Name and Description . Reclaim Policy is set to Delete as the default option. Use this setting. If you change the reclaim policy to Retain in the storage class, the persistent volume (PV) remains in Released state even after deleting the persistent volume claim (PVC). Volume binding mode is set to WaitForConsumer as the default option. If you choose the Immediate option, then the PV gets created immediately when creating the PVC. Select RBD or CephFS Provisioner as the plugin for provisioning the persistent volumes. Select an existing Storage Pool from the list or create a new pool. Note The 2-way replication data protection policy is only supported for the non-default RBD pool. 2-way replication can be used by creating an additional pool. To know about Data Availability and Integrity considerations for replica 2 pools, see Knowledgebase Customer Solution Article . Create new pool Click Create New Pool . Enter Pool name . Choose 2-way-Replication or 3-way-Replication as the Data Protection Policy. Select Enable compression if you need to compress the data. Enabling compression can impact application performance and might prove ineffective when data to be written is already compressed or encrypted. Data written before enabling compression will not be compressed. Click Create to create the new storage pool. Click Finish after the pool is created. Optional: Select Enable Encryption checkbox. Click Create to create the storage class. 2.2. Storage class for persistent volume encryption Persistent volume (PV) encryption guarantees isolation and confidentiality between tenants (applications). Before you can use PV encryption, you must create a storage class for PV encryption. Persistent volume encryption is only available for RBD PVs. OpenShift Data Foundation supports storing encryption passphrases in HashiCorp Vault and Thales CipherTrust Manager. You can create an encryption enabled storage class using an external key management system (KMS) for persistent volume encryption. You need to configure access to the KMS before creating the storage class. Note For PV encryption, you must have a valid Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation Advanced subscription. For more information, see the knowledgebase article on OpenShift Data Foundation subscriptions . 2.2.1. Access configuration for Key Management System (KMS) Based on your use case, you need to configure access to KMS using one of the following ways: Using vaulttokens : allows users to authenticate using a token Using Thales CipherTrust Manager : uses Key Management Interoperability Protocol (KMIP) Using vaulttenantsa (Technology Preview): allows users to use serviceaccounts to authenticate with Vault 2.2.1.1. Configuring access to KMS using vaulttokens Prerequisites The OpenShift Data Foundation cluster is in Ready state. On the external key management system (KMS), Ensure that a policy with a token exists and the key value backend path in Vault is enabled. Ensure that you are using signed certificates on your Vault servers. Procedure Create a secret in the tenant's namespace. In the OpenShift Container Platform web console, navigate to Workloads -> Secrets . Click Create -> Key/value secret . Enter Secret Name as ceph-csi-kms-token . Enter Key as token . Enter Value . It is the token from Vault. You can either click Browse to select and upload the file containing the token or enter the token directly in the text box. Click Create . Note The token can be deleted only after all the encrypted PVCs using the ceph-csi-kms-token have been deleted. 2.2.1.2. Configuring access to KMS using Thales CipherTrust Manager Prerequisites 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 be 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 meta-data and material when the key is deleted. It is disabled by default. Select the 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 . Procedure To create a key to act as the Key Encryption Key (KEK) for storageclass encryption, follow the steps below: 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. 2.2.1.3. Configuring access to KMS using vaulttenantsa Prerequisites The OpenShift Data Foundation cluster is in Ready state. On the external key management system (KMS), Ensure that a policy exists and the key value backend path in Vault is enabled. Ensure that you are using signed certificates on your Vault servers. Create the following serviceaccount in the tenant namespace as shown below: Procedure You need to configure the Kubernetes authentication method before OpenShift Data Foundation can authenticate with and start using Vault . The following instructions create and configure serviceAccount , ClusterRole , and ClusterRoleBinding required to allow OpenShift Data Foundation to authenticate with Vault . Apply the following YAML to your Openshift cluster: Create a secret for serviceaccount token and CA certificate. Get the token and the CA certificate from the secret. Retrieve the OpenShift cluster endpoint. Use the information collected in the steps to set up the kubernetes authentication method in Vault as shown: Create a role in Vault for the tenant namespace: csi-kubernetes is the default role name that OpenShift Data Foundation looks for in Vault. The default service account name in the tenant namespace in the OpenShift Data Foundation cluster is ceph-csi-vault-sa . These default values can be overridden by creating a ConfigMap in the tenant namespace. For more information about overriding the default names, see Overriding Vault connection details using tenant ConfigMap . Sample YAML To create a storageclass that uses the vaulttenantsa method for PV encrytpion, you must either edit the existing ConfigMap or create a ConfigMap named csi-kms-connection-details that will hold all the information needed to establish the connection with Vault. The sample yaml given below can be used to update or create the csi-kms-connection-detail ConfigMap: encryptionKMSType Set to vaulttenantsa to use service accounts for authentication with vault. vaultAddress The hostname or IP address of the vault server with the port number. vaultTLSServerName (Optional) The vault TLS server name vaultAuthPath (Optional) The path where kubernetes auth method is enabled in Vault. The default path is kubernetes . If the auth method is enabled in a different path other than kubernetes , this variable needs to be set as "/v1/auth/<path>/login" . vaultAuthNamespace (Optional) The Vault namespace where kubernetes auth method is enabled. vaultNamespace (Optional) The Vault namespace where the backend path being used to store the keys exists vaultBackendPath The backend path in Vault where the encryption keys will be stored vaultCAFromSecret The secret in the OpenShift Data Foundation cluster containing the CA certificate from Vault vaultClientCertFromSecret The secret in the OpenShift Data Foundation cluster containing the client certificate from Vault vaultClientCertKeyFromSecret The secret in the OpenShift Data Foundation cluster containing the client private key from Vault tenantSAName (Optional) The service account name in the tenant namespace. The default value is ceph-csi-vault-sa . If a different name is to be used, this variable has to be set accordingly. 2.2.2. Creating a storage class for persistent volume encryption Prerequisites Based on your use case, you must ensure to configure access to KMS for one of the following: Using vaulttokens : Ensure to configure access as described in Configuring access to KMS using vaulttokens Using vaulttenantsa (Technology Preview): Ensure to configure access as described in Configuring access to KMS using vaulttenantsa Using Thales CipherTrust Manager (using KMIP): Ensure to configure access as described in Configuring access to KMS using Thales CipherTrust Manager Procedure In the OpenShift Web Console, navigate to Storage -> StorageClasses . Click Create Storage Class . Enter the storage class Name and Description . Select either Delete or Retain for the Reclaim Policy . By default, Delete is selected. Select either Immediate or WaitForFirstConsumer as the Volume binding mode . WaitForConsumer is set as the default option. Select RBD Provisioner openshift-storage.rbd.csi.ceph.com which is the plugin used for provisioning the persistent volumes. Select Storage Pool where the volume data is stored from the list or create a new pool. Select the Enable encryption checkbox.

For more information, see managing persistent volume claims . Important Red Hat works with the technology partners to provide this documentation as a service to the customers. However, Red Hat does not provide support for the HashiCorp product. For technical assistance with this product, contact HashiCorp . 2.2.2.1. Overriding Vault connection details using tenant ConfigMap The Vault connections details can be reconfigured per tenant by creating a ConfigMap in the Openshift namespace with configuration options that differ from the values set in the csi-kms-connection-details ConfigMap in the openshift-storage namespace. The ConfigMap needs to be located in the tenant namespace. The values in the ConfigMap in the tenant namespace will override the values set in the csi-kms-connection-details ConfigMap for the encrypted Persistent Volumes created in that namespace. Procedure Ensure that you are in the tenant namespace. Click on Workloads -> ConfigMaps . Click on Create ConfigMap . The following is a sample yaml. The values to be overidden for the given tenant namespace can be specified under the data section as shown below: After the yaml is edited, click on Create . Chapter 3. Block pools The OpenShift Data Foundation operator installs a default set of storage pools depending on the platform in use. These default storage pools are owned and controlled by the operator and it cannot be deleted or modified. With OpenShift Container Platform, you can create multiple custom storage pools which map to storage classes that provide the following features: Enable applications with their own high availability to use persistent volumes with two replicas, potentially improving application performance. Save space for persistent volume claims using storage classes with compression enabled. Note Multiple block pools are not supported for external mode OpenShift Data Foundation clusters. 3.1. Creating a block pool Prerequisites You must be logged into the OpenShift Container Platform web console as an administrator. Procedure Click Storage -> Data Foundation . In the Storage systems tab, select the storage system and then click the BlockPools tab. Click Create Block Pool . Enter Pool name . Note Using 2-way replication data protection policy is not supported for the default pool. However, you can use 2-way replication if you are creating an additional pool. Select Data protection policy as either 2-way Replication or 3-way Replication . Select Volume Type . Optional: Select Enable compression checkbox if you need to compress the data. Enabling compression can impact application performance and might prove ineffective when data to be written is already compressed or encrypted. Data written before enabling compression will not be compressed. Click Create . 3.2. Updating an existing pool Prerequisites You must be logged into the OpenShift Container Platform web console as an administrator. Procedure Click Storage -> Data Foundation . In the Storage systems tab, select the storage system and then click BlockPools . Click the Action Menu (...) at the end the pool you want to update. Click Edit Block Pool . Modify the form details as follows: Note Using 2-way replication data protection policy is not supported for the default pool. However, you can use 2-way replication if you are creating an additional pool. Change the Data protection policy to either 2-way Replication or 3-way Replication. Enable or disable the compression option. Enabling compression can impact application performance and might prove ineffective when data to be written is already compressed or encrypted. Data written before enabling compression will not be compressed. Click Save . 3.3. Deleting a pool Use this procedure to delete a pool in OpenShift Data Foundation. Prerequisites You must be logged into the OpenShift Container Platform web console as an administrator. Procedure . Click Storage -> Data Foundation . In the Storage systems tab, select the storage system and then click the BlockPools tab. Click the Action Menu (...) at the end the pool you want to delete. Click Delete Block Pool . Click Delete to confirm the removal of the Pool. Note A pool cannot be deleted when it is bound to a PVC. You must detach all the resources before performing this activity. Chapter 4. Configure storage for OpenShift Container Platform services You can use OpenShift Data Foundation to provide storage for OpenShift Container Platform services such as the following: OpenShift image registry OpenShift monitoring OpenShift logging (Loki) The process for configuring storage for these services depends on the infrastructure used in your OpenShift Data Foundation deployment. When these services are configured to use OpenShift Data Foundation, if there is a free capacity issue, OpenShift Data Foundation is impacted and will be in read-only mode. Warning Always ensure that you have a plenty of storage capacity for the following OpenShift services that you configure: OpenShift image registry OpenShift monitoring OpenShift logging (Loki) OpenShift tracing platform (Tempo) If the storage for these critical services runs out of space, the OpenShift cluster becomes inoperable and very difficult to recover. Red Hat recommends configuring shorter curation and retention intervals for these services. See Configuring the Curator schedule and the Modifying retention time for Prometheus metrics data of Monitoring guide in the OpenShift Container Platform documentation for details. If you do run out of storage space for these services, contact Red Hat Customer Support. 4.1. Configuring Image Registry to use OpenShift Data Foundation OpenShift Container Platform provides a built in Container Image Registry which runs as a standard workload on the cluster. A registry is typically used as a publication target for images built on the cluster as well as a source of images for workloads running on the cluster. Follow the instructions in this section to configure OpenShift Data Foundation as storage for the Container Image Registry. On AWS, it is not required to change the storage for the registry. However, it is recommended to change the storage to OpenShift Data Foundation Persistent Volume for vSphere and Bare metal platforms. Warning This process does not migrate data from an existing image registry to the new image registry. If you already have container images in your existing registry, back up your registry before you complete this process, and re-register your images when this process is complete. Prerequisites You have administrative access to OpenShift Web Console. OpenShift Data Foundation Operator is installed and running in the openshift-storage namespace. In OpenShift Web Console, click Operators -> Installed Operators to view installed operators. Image Registry Operator is installed and running in the openshift-image-registry namespace.

From the list of available storage classes retrieved above, specify the Storage Class with the provisioner openshift-storage.cephfs.csi.ceph.com . Specify the Persistent Volume Claim Name , for example, ocs4registry . Specify an Access Mode of Shared Access (RWX) . Specify a Size of at least 100 GB. Click Create . Wait until the status of the new Persistent Volume Claim is listed as Bound . Configure the cluster's Image Registry to use the new Persistent Volume Claim. Click Administration -> Custom Resource Definitions . Click the Config custom resource definition associated with the imageregistry.operator.openshift.io group. Click the Instances tab. Beside the cluster instance, click the Action Menu (...) -> Edit Config . Add the new Persistent Volume Claim as persistent storage for the Image Registry. Add the following under spec: , replacing the existing storage: section if necessary. For example: Click Save . Verify that the new configuration is being used. Click Workloads -> Pods . Set the Project to openshift-image-registry . Verify that the new image-registry-* pod appears with a status of Running , and that the image-registry-* pod terminates. Click the new image-registry-* pod to view pod details. Scroll down to Volumes and verify that the registry-storage volume has a Type that matches your new Persistent Volume Claim, for example, ocs4registry . 4.2. Using Multicloud Object Gateway as OpenShift Image Registry backend storage You can use Multicloud Object Gateway (MCG) as OpenShift Container Platform (OCP) Image Registry backend storage in an on-prem OCP deployment starting from OCP 4.11. To configure MCG as a backend storage for the OCP image registry, follow the steps mentioned in the procedure. Prerequisites Administrative access to OCP Web Console. A running OpenShift Data Foundation cluster with MCG. Procedure Create ObjectBucketClaim by following the steps in Creating Object Bucket Claim . Create an image-registry-private-configuration-user secret. Go to the OpenShift web-console. Click ObjectBucketClaim --> ObjectBucketClaim Data . In the ObjectBucketClaim data , look for MCG access key and MCG secret key in the openshift-image-registry namespace . Create the secret using the following command: Change the status of managementState of Image Registry Operator to Managed . Edit the spec.storage section of Image Registry Operator configuration file: Get the unique-bucket-name and regionEndpoint under the Object Bucket Claim Data section from the Web Console OR you can also get the information on regionEndpoint and unique-bucket-name from the command: Add regionEndpoint as http://<Endpoint-name>:<port> if the storageclass is ceph-rgw storageclass and the endpoint points to the internal SVC from the openshift-storage namespace. An image-registry pod spawns after you make the changes to the Operator registry configuration file. Reset the image registry settings to default. Verification steps Run the following command to check if you have configured the MCG as OpenShift Image Registry backend storage successfully. Example output (Optional) You can also the run the following command to verify if you have configured the MCG as OpenShift Image Registry backend storage successfully. Example output 4.3. Configuring monitoring to use OpenShift Data Foundation OpenShift Data Foundation provides a monitoring stack that comprises of Prometheus and Alert Manager. Follow the instructions in this section to configure OpenShift Data Foundation as storage for the monitoring stack. Important Monitoring will not function if it runs out of storage space. Always ensure that you have plenty of storage capacity for monitoring. Red Hat recommends configuring a short retention interval for this service. See the Modifying retention time for Prometheus metrics data of Monitoring guide in the OpenShift Container Platform documentation for details. Prerequisites You have administrative access to OpenShift Web Console. OpenShift Data Foundation Operator is installed and running in the openshift-storage namespace. In the OpenShift Web Console, click Operators -> Installed Operators to view installed operators. Monitoring Operator is installed and running in the openshift-monitoring namespace.

A storage class with provisioner openshift-storage.rbd.csi.ceph.com is available. In the OpenShift Web Console, click Storage -> StorageClasses to view available storage classes. Procedure In the OpenShift Web Console, go to Workloads -> Config Maps . Set the Project dropdown to openshift-monitoring . Click Create Config Map . Define a new cluster-monitoring-config Config Map using the following example. Replace the content in angle brackets ( < , > ) with your own values, for example, retention: 24h or storage: 40Gi . Replace the storageClassName with the storageclass that uses the provisioner openshift-storage.rbd.csi.ceph.com . In the example given below the name of the storageclass is ocs-storagecluster-ceph-rbd . Example cluster-monitoring-config Config Map Click Create to save and create the Config Map. Verification steps Verify that the Persistent Volume Claims are bound to the pods. Go to Storage -> Persistent Volume Claims . Set the Project dropdown to openshift-monitoring . Verify that 5 Persistent Volume Claims are visible with a state of Bound , attached to three alertmanager-main-* pods, and two prometheus-k8s-* pods. Figure 4.1. Monitoring storage created and bound Verify that the new alertmanager-main-* pods appear with a state of Running . Go to Workloads -> Pods . Click the new alertmanager-main-* pods to view the pod details. Scroll down to Volumes and verify that the volume has a Type , ocs-alertmanager-claim that matches one of your new Persistent Volume Claims, for example, ocs-alertmanager-claim-alertmanager-main-0 . Figure 4.2. Persistent Volume Claims attached to alertmanager-main-* pod Verify that the new prometheus-k8s-* pods appear with a state of Running . Click the new prometheus-k8s-* pods to view the pod details. Scroll down to Volumes and verify that the volume has a Type , ocs-prometheus-claim that matches one of your new Persistent Volume Claims, for example, ocs-prometheus-claim-prometheus-k8s-0 . Figure 4.3. Persistent Volume Claims attached to prometheus-k8s-* pod 4.4. Overprovision level policy control [Technology Preview] Overprovision control is a mechanism that enables you to define a quota on the amount of Persistent Volume Claims (PVCs) consumed from a storage cluster, based on the specific application namespace. When you enable the overprovision control mechanism, it prevents you from overprovisioning the PVCs consumed from the storage cluster. OpenShift provides flexibility for defining constraints that limit the aggregated resource consumption at cluster scope with the help of ClusterResourceQuota . For more information see, OpenShift ClusterResourceQuota . With overprovision control, a ClusteResourceQuota is initiated, and you can set the storage capacity limit for each storage class. The alarm triggers when 80% of the capacity limit is consumed. Note Overprovision level policy control is a Technology Preview feature. 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, refer to Technology Preview Features Support Scope. For more information about OpenShift Data Foundation deployment, refer to Product Documentation and select the deployment procedure according to the platform. Prerequisites Ensure that the OpenShift Data Foundation cluster is created. Procedure Deploy storagecluster either from the command line interface or the user interface. Label the application namespace. <desired_name> Specify a name for the application namespace, for example, quota-rbd . <desired_label> Specify a label for the storage quota, for example, storagequota1 . Edit the storagecluster to set the quota limit on the storage class. <ocs_storagecluster_name> Specify the name of the storage cluster. Add an entry for Overprovision Control with the desired hard limit into the StorageCluster.Spec : <desired_quota_limit> Specify a desired quota limit for the storage class, for example, 27Ti . <storage_class_name> Specify the name of the storage class for which you want to set the quota limit, for example, ocs-storagecluster-ceph-rbd . <desired_quota_name> Specify a name for the storage quota, for example, quota1 . <desired_label> Specify a label for the storage quota, for example, storagequota1 . Save the modified storagecluster . Verify that the clusterresourcequota is defined. Note Expect the clusterresourcequota with the quotaName that you defined in the step, for example, quota1 . 4.5. Cluster logging for OpenShift Data Foundation You can deploy cluster logging to aggregate logs for a range of OpenShift Container Platform services. For information about how to deploy cluster logging, see Deploying cluster logging . Upon initial OpenShift Container Platform deployment, OpenShift Data Foundation is not configured by default and the OpenShift Container Platform cluster will solely rely on default storage available from the nodes. You can edit the default configuration of OpenShift logging (ElasticSearch) to be backed by OpenShift Data Foundation to have OpenShift Data Foundation backed logging (Elasticsearch). Important Always ensure that you have plenty of storage capacity for these services. If you run out of storage space for these critical services, the logging application becomes inoperable and very difficult to recover. Red Hat recommends configuring shorter curation and retention intervals for these services. See Cluster logging curator in the OpenShift Container Platform documentation for details. If you run out of storage space for these services, contact Red Hat Customer Support. 4.5.1. Configuring persistent storage You can configure a persistent storage class and size for the Elasticsearch cluster using the storage class name and size parameters. The Cluster Logging Operator creates a Persistent Volume Claim for each data node in the Elasticsearch cluster based on these parameters. For example: This example specifies that each data node in the cluster will be bound to a Persistent Volume Claim that requests 200GiB of ocs-storagecluster-ceph-rbd storage. Each primary shard will be backed by a single replica. A copy of the shard is replicated across all the nodes and are always available and the copy can be recovered if at least two nodes exist due to the single redundancy policy. For information about Elasticsearch replication policies, see Elasticsearch replication policy in About deploying and configuring cluster logging . Note Omission of the storage block will result in a deployment backed by default storage. For example: For more information, see Configuring cluster logging . 4.5.2. Configuring cluster logging to use OpenShift data Foundation Follow the instructions in this section to configure OpenShift Data Foundation as storage for the OpenShift cluster logging. Note You can obtain all the logs when you configure logging for the first time in OpenShift Data Foundation. However, after you uninstall and reinstall logging, the old logs are removed and only the new logs are processed. Prerequisites You have administrative access to OpenShift Web Console. OpenShift Data Foundation Operator is installed and running in the openshift-storage namespace. Cluster logging Operator is installed and running in the openshift-logging namespace. Procedure Click Administration -> Custom Resource Definitions from the left pane of the OpenShift Web Console. On the Custom Resource Definitions page, click ClusterLogging . On the Custom Resource Definition Overview page, select View Instances from the Actions menu or click the Instances Tab. On the Cluster Logging page, click Create Cluster Logging . You might have to refresh the page to load the data. In the YAML, replace the storageClassName with the storageclass that uses the provisioner openshift-storage.rbd.csi.ceph.com . In the example given below the name of the storageclass is ocs-storagecluster-ceph-rbd : If you have tainted the OpenShift Data Foundation nodes, you must add toleration to enable scheduling of the daemonset pods for logging. Click Save . Verification steps Verify that the Persistent Volume Claims are bound to the elasticsearch pods. Go to Storage -> Persistent Volume Claims . Set the Project dropdown to openshift-logging . Verify that Persistent Volume Claims are visible with a state of Bound , attached to elasticsearch- * pods. Figure 4.4. Cluster logging created and bound Verify that the new cluster logging is being used. Click Workload -> Pods . Set the Project to openshift-logging . Verify that the new elasticsearch- * pods appear with a state of Running . Click the new elasticsearch- * pod to view pod details. Scroll down to Volumes and verify that the elasticsearch volume has a Type that matches your new Persistent Volume Claim, for example, elasticsearch-elasticsearch-cdm-9r624biv-3 . Click the Persistent Volume Claim name and verify the storage class name in the PersistentVolumeClaim Overview page. Note Make sure to use a shorter curator time to avoid PV full scenario on PVs attached to Elasticsearch pods. You can configure Curator to delete Elasticsearch data based on retention settings. It is recommended that you set the following default index data retention of 5 days as a default. For more details, see Curation of Elasticsearch Data . Note To uninstall the cluster logging backed by Persistent Volume Claim, use the procedure removing the cluster logging operator from OpenShift Data Foundation in the uninstall chapter of the respective deployment guide. Chapter 5. Creating Multus networks [Technology Preview] OpenShift Container Platform uses the Multus CNI plug-in to allow chaining of CNI plug-ins. You can configure your default pod network during cluster installation. The default network handles all ordinary network traffic for the cluster. Important Multus support is a Technology Preview feature that is supported only on bare metal and VMWare deployments. 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. You can define an additional network based on the available CNI plug-ins and attach one or more of these networks to your pods. To attach additional network interfaces to a pod, you must create configurations that define how the interfaces are attached. You specify each interface by using a NetworkAttachmentDefinition (NAD) custom resource (CR). A CNI configuration inside each of the NetworkAttachmentDefinition defines how that interface is created. OpenShift Data Foundation uses the CNI plug-in called macvlan. Creating a macvlan-based additional network allows pods on a host to communicate with other hosts and pods on those hosts using a physical network interface. Each pod that is attached to a macvlan-based additional network is provided a unique MAC address. 5.1. Creating network attachment definitions To utilize Multus, an already working cluster with the correct networking configuration is required, see Recommended network configuration and requirements for a Multus configuration . The newly created NetworkAttachmentDefinition (NAD) can be selected during the Storage Cluster installation. This is the reason they must be created before the Storage Cluster. You can select the newly created NetworkAttachmentDefinition (NAD) during the Storage Cluster installation. This is the reason you must create the NAD before you create the Storage Cluster. As detailed in the Planning Guide, the Multus networks you create depend on the number of available network interfaces you have for OpenShift Data Foundation traffic. It is possible to separate all of the storage traffic onto one of the two interfaces (one interface used for default OpenShift SDN) or to further segregate storage traffic into client storage traffic (public) and storage replication traffic (private or cluster). The following is an example NetworkAttachmentDefinition for all the storage traffic, public and cluster, on the same interface. It requires one additional interface on all schedulable nodes (OpenShift default SDN on separate network interface): Note All network interface names must be the same on all the nodes attached to the Multus network (that is, ens2 for ocs-public-cluster ). The following is an example NetworkAttachmentDefinition for storage traffic on separate Multus networks, public, for client storage traffic, and cluster, for replication traffic. It requires two additional interfaces on OpenShift nodes hosting object storage device (OSD) pods and one additional interface on all other schedulable nodes (OpenShift default SDN on separate network interface): Example NetworkAttachmentDefinition : Note All network interface names must be the same on all the nodes attached to the Multus networks (that is, ens2 for ocs-public , and ens3 for ocs-cluster ). Chapter 6. Backing OpenShift Container Platform applications with OpenShift Data Foundation You cannot directly install OpenShift Data Foundation during the OpenShift Container Platform installation. However, you can install OpenShift Data Foundation on an existing OpenShift Container Platform by using the Operator Hub and then configure the OpenShift Container Platform applications to be backed by OpenShift Data Foundation. Prerequisites OpenShift Container Platform is installed and you have administrative access to OpenShift Web Console. OpenShift Data Foundation is installed and running in the openshift-storage namespace. Procedure In the OpenShift Web Console, perform one of the following: Click Workloads -> Deployments . In the Deployments page, you can do one of the following: Select any existing deployment and click Add Storage option from the Action menu (...). Create a new deployment and then add storage. Click Create Deployment to create a new deployment. Edit the YAML based on your requirement to create a deployment. Click Create . Select Add Storage from the Actions drop-down menu on the top right of the page. Click Workloads -> Deployment Configs . In the Deployment Configs page, you can do one of the following: Select any existing deployment and click Add Storage option from the Action menu (...). Create a new deployment and then add storage. Click Create Deployment Config to create a new deployment. Edit the YAML based on your requirement to create a deployment. Click Create . Select Add Storage from the Actions drop-down menu on the top right of the page. In the Add Storage page, you can choose one of the following options: Click the Use existing claim option and select a suitable PVC from the drop-down list. Click the Create new claim option. Select the appropriate CephFS or RBD storage class from the Storage Class drop-down list. Provide a name for the Persistent Volume Claim. Select ReadWriteOnce (RWO) or ReadWriteMany (RWX) access mode. Note ReadOnlyMany (ROX) is deactivated as it is not supported. Select the size of the desired storage capacity. Note You can expand the block PVs but cannot reduce the storage capacity after the creation of Persistent Volume Claim. Specify the mount path and subpath (if required) for the mount path volume inside the container. Click Save . Verification steps Depending on your configuration, perform one of the following: Click Workloads -> Deployments . Click Workloads -> Deployment Configs . Set the Project as required. Click the deployment for which you added storage to display the deployment details. Scroll down to Volumes and verify that your deployment has a Type that matches the Persistent Volume Claim that you assigned. Click the Persistent Volume Claim name and verify the storage class name in the Persistent Volume Claim Overview page. Chapter 7. Adding file and object storage to an existing external OpenShift Data Foundation cluster When OpenShift Data Foundation is configured in external mode, there are several ways to provide storage for persistent volume claims and object bucket claims. Persistent volume claims for block storage are provided directly from the external Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster. Persistent volume claims for file storage can be provided by adding a Metadata Server (MDS) to the external Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster. Object bucket claims for object storage can be provided either by using the Multicloud Object Gateway or by adding the Ceph Object Gateway to the external Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster. Use the following process to add file storage (using Metadata Servers) or object storage (using Ceph Object Gateway) or both to an external OpenShift Data Foundation cluster that was initially deployed to provide only block storage. Prerequisites OpenShift Data Foundation 4.13 is installed and running on the OpenShift Container Platform version 4.13 or above. Also, the OpenShift Data Foundation Cluster in external mode is in the Ready state. Your external Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster is configured with one or both of the following: a Ceph Object Gateway (RGW) endpoint that can be accessed by the OpenShift Container Platform cluster for object storage a Metadata Server (MDS) pool for file storage Ensure that you know the parameters used with the ceph-external-cluster-details-exporter.py script during external OpenShift Data Foundation cluster deployment. Procedure Download the OpenShift Data Foundation version of the ceph-external-cluster-details-exporter.py python script using the following command: Update permission caps on the external Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster by running ceph-external-cluster-details-exporter.py on any client node in the external Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster. You may need to ask your Red Hat Ceph Storage administrator to do this. --run-as-user The client name used during OpenShift Data Foundation cluster deployment. Use the default client name client.healthchecker if a different client name was not set. --rgw-pool-prefix The prefix used for the Ceph Object Gateway pool. This can be omitted if the default prefix is used. Generate and save configuration details from the external Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster. Generate configuration details by running ceph-external-cluster-details-exporter.py on any client node in the external Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster. --monitoring-endpoint Is optional. It accepts comma separated list of IP addresses of active and standby mgrs reachable from the OpenShift Container Platform cluster. If not provided, the value is automatically populated. --monitoring-endpoint-port Is optional. It is the port associated with the ceph-mgr Prometheus exporter specified by --monitoring-endpoint . If not provided, the value is automatically populated. --run-as-user The client name used during OpenShift Data Foundation cluster deployment. Use the default client name client.healthchecker if a different client name was not set. --rgw-endpoint Provide this parameter to provision object storage through Ceph Object Gateway for OpenShift Data Foundation. (optional parameter) --rgw-pool-prefix The prefix used for the Ceph Object Gateway pool. This can be omitted if the default prefix is used. User permissions are updated as shown: Note Ensure that all the parameters (including the optional arguments) except the Ceph Object Gateway details (if provided), are the same as what was used during the deployment of OpenShift Data Foundation in external mode. Save the output of the script in an external-cluster-config.json file. The following example output shows the generated configuration changes in bold text. Upload the generated JSON file. Log in to the OpenShift web console. Click Workloads -> Secrets . Set project to openshift-storage . Click on rook-ceph-external-cluster-details . Click Actions (...) -> Edit Secret Click Browse and upload the external-cluster-config.json file. Click Save . Verification steps To verify that the OpenShift Data Foundation cluster is healthy and data is resilient, navigate to Storage -> Data foundation -> Storage Systems tab and then click on the storage system name. On the Overview -> Block and File tab, check the Status card to confirm that the Storage Cluster has a green tick indicating it is healthy. If you added a Metadata Server for file storage: Click Workloads -> Pods and verify that csi-cephfsplugin-* pods are created new and are in the Running state. Click Storage -> Storage Classes and verify that the ocs-external-storagecluster-cephfs storage class is created. If you added the Ceph Object Gateway for object storage: Click Storage -> Storage Classes and verify that the ocs-external-storagecluster-ceph-rgw storage class is created. To verify that the OpenShift Data Foundation cluster is healthy and data is resilient, navigate to Storage -> Data foundation -> Storage Systems tab and then click on the storage system name. Click the Object tab and confirm Object Service and Data resiliency has a green tick indicating it is healthy. Chapter 8. How to use dedicated worker nodes for Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation Any Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform subscription requires an OpenShift Data Foundation subscription. However, you can save on the OpenShift Container Platform subscription costs if you are using infrastructure nodes to schedule OpenShift Data Foundation resources. It is important to maintain consistency across environments with or without Machine API support. Because of this, it is highly recommended in all cases to have a special category of nodes labeled as either worker or infra or have both roles. See the Section 8.3, "Manual creation of infrastructure nodes" section for more information. 8.1. Anatomy of an Infrastructure node Infrastructure nodes for use with OpenShift Data Foundation have a few attributes. The infra node-role label is required to ensure the node does not consume RHOCP entitlements. The infra node-role label is responsible for ensuring only OpenShift Data Foundation entitlements are necessary for the nodes running OpenShift Data Foundation. Labeled with node-role.kubernetes.io/infra Adding an OpenShift Data Foundation taint with a NoSchedule effect is also required so that the infra node will only schedule OpenShift Data Foundation resources. Tainted with node.ocs.openshift.io/storage="true" The label identifies the RHOCP node as an infra node so that RHOCP subscription cost is not applied. The taint prevents non OpenShift Data Foundation resources to be scheduled on the tainted nodes. Note Adding storage taint on nodes might require toleration handling for the other daemonset pods such as openshift-dns daemonset . For information about how to manage the tolerations, see Knowledgebase article: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/6592171 . Example of the taint and labels required on infrastructure node that will be used to run OpenShift Data Foundation services: 8.2. Machine sets for creating Infrastructure nodes If the Machine API is supported in the environment, then labels should be added to the templates for the Machine Sets that will be provisioning the infrastructure nodes. Avoid the anti-pattern of adding labels manually to nodes created by the machine API. Doing so is analogous to adding labels to pods created by a deployment. In both cases, when the pod/node fails, the replacement pod/node will not have the appropriate labels. Note In EC2 environments, you will need three machine sets, each configured to provision infrastructure nodes in a distinct availability zone (such as us-east-2a, us-east-2b, us-east-2c). Currently, OpenShift Data Foundation does not support deploying in more than three availability zones. The following Machine Set template example creates nodes with the appropriate taint and labels required for infrastructure nodes. This will be used to run OpenShift Data Foundation services. Important If you add a taint to the infrastructure nodes, you also need to add tolerations to the taint for other workloads, for example, the fluentd pods. For more information, see the Red Hat Knowledgebase solution Infrastructure Nodes in OpenShift 4 . 8.3. Manual creation of infrastructure nodes Only when the Machine API is not supported in the environment should labels be directly applied to nodes. Manual creation requires that at least 3 RHOCP worker nodes are available to schedule OpenShift Data Foundation services, and that these nodes have sufficient CPU and memory resources. To avoid the RHOCP subscription cost, the following is required: Adding a NoSchedule OpenShift Data Foundation taint is also required so that the infra node will only schedule OpenShift Data Foundation resources and repel any other non-OpenShift Data Foundation workloads. Warning Do not remove the node-role node-role.kubernetes.io/worker="" The removal of the node-role.kubernetes.io/worker="" can cause issues unless changes are made both to the OpenShift scheduler and to MachineConfig resources. If already removed, it should be added again to each infra node. Adding node-role node-role.kubernetes.io/infra="" and OpenShift Data Foundation taint is sufficient to conform to entitlement exemption requirements. 8.4. Taint a node from the user interface This section explains the procedure to taint nodes after the OpenShift Data Foundation deployment. Procedure In the OpenShift Web Console, click Compute -> Nodes , and then select the node which has to be tainted. In the Details page click on Edit taints . Enter the values in the Key <node.ocs.openshift.io/storage>, Value <true> and in the Effect <Noschedule> field. Click Save. Verification steps Follow the steps to verify that the node has tainted successfully: Navigate to Compute -> Nodes . Select the node to verify its status, and then click on the YAML tab. In the specs section check the values of the following parameters: Additional resources For more information, refer to Creating the OpenShift Data Foundation cluster on VMware vSphere . Chapter 9. Managing Persistent Volume Claims 9.1. Configuring application pods to use OpenShift Data Foundation Follow the instructions in this section to configure OpenShift Data Foundation as storage for an application pod. Prerequisites You have administrative access to OpenShift Web Console. OpenShift Data Foundation Operator is installed and running in the openshift-storage namespace. In OpenShift Web Console, click Operators -> Installed Operators to view installed operators. The default storage classes provided by OpenShift Data Foundation are available. In OpenShift Web Console, click Storage -> StorageClasses to view default storage classes. Procedure Create a Persistent Volume Claim (PVC) for the application to use. In OpenShift Web Console, click Storage -> Persistent Volume Claims . Set the Project for the application pod. Click Create Persistent Volume Claim . Specify a Storage Class provided by OpenShift Data Foundation. Specify the PVC Name , for example, myclaim . Select the required Access Mode . Note The Access Mode , Shared access (RWX) is not supported in IBM FlashSystem. For Rados Block Device (RBD), if the Access mode is ReadWriteOnce ( RWO ), select the required Volume mode . The default volume mode is Filesystem . Specify a Size as per application requirement. Click Create and wait until the PVC is in Bound status. Configure a new or existing application pod to use the new PVC. For a new application pod, perform the following steps: Click Workloads -> Pods . Create a new application pod. Under the spec: section, add volumes: section to add the new PVC as a volume for the application pod. For example: For an existing application pod, perform the following steps: Click Workloads -> Deployment Configs . Search for the required deployment config associated with the application pod. Click on its Action menu (...) -> Edit Deployment Config . Under the spec: section, add volumes: section to add the new PVC as a volume for the application pod and click Save . For example: Verify that the new configuration is being used. Click Workloads -> Pods . Set the Project for the application pod. Verify that the application pod appears with a status of Running . Click the application pod name to view pod details. Scroll down to Volumes section and verify that the volume has a Type that matches your new Persistent Volume Claim, for example, myclaim . 9.2. Viewing Persistent Volume Claim request status Use this procedure to view the status of a PVC request. Prerequisites Administrator access to OpenShift Data Foundation. Procedure Log in to OpenShift Web Console. Click Storage -> Persistent Volume Claims Search for the required PVC name by using the Filter textbox. You can also filter the list of PVCs by Name or Label to narrow down the list Check the Status column corresponding to the required PVC. Click the required Name to view the PVC details. 9.3. Reviewing Persistent Volume Claim request events Use this procedure to review and address Persistent Volume Claim (PVC) request events. Prerequisites Administrator access to OpenShift Web Console. Procedure In the OpenShift Web Console, click Storage -> Data Foundation . In the Storage systems tab, select the storage system and then click Overview -> Block and File . Locate the Inventory card to see the number of PVCs with errors. Click Storage -> Persistent Volume Claims Search for the required PVC using the Filter textbox. Click on the PVC name and navigate to Events Address the events as required or as directed. 9.4. Expanding Persistent Volume Claims OpenShift Data Foundation 4.6 onwards has the ability to expand Persistent Volume Claims providing more flexibility in the management of persistent storage resources. Expansion is supported for the following Persistent Volumes: PVC with ReadWriteOnce (RWO) and ReadWriteMany (RWX) access that is based on Ceph File System (CephFS) for volume mode Filesystem . PVC with ReadWriteOnce (RWO) access that is based on Ceph RADOS Block Devices (RBDs) with volume mode Filesystem . PVC with ReadWriteOnce (RWO) access that is based on Ceph RADOS Block Devices (RBDs) with volume mode Block . Note PVC expansion is not supported for OSD, MON and encrypted PVCs. Prerequisites Administrator access to OpenShift Web Console. Procedure In OpenShift Web Console, navigate to Storage -> Persistent Volume Claims . Click the Action Menu (...) to the Persistent Volume Claim you want to expand. Click Expand PVC : Select the new size of the Persistent Volume Claim, then click Expand : To verify the expansion, navigate to the PVC's details page and verify the Capacity field has the correct size requested. Note When expanding PVCs based on Ceph RADOS Block Devices (RBDs), if the PVC is not already attached to a pod the Condition type is FileSystemResizePending in the PVC's details page. Once the volume is mounted, filesystem resize succeeds and the new size is reflected in the Capacity field. 9.5. Dynamic provisioning 9.5.1. About dynamic provisioning The StorageClass resource object describes and classifies storage that can be requested, as well as provides a means for passing parameters for dynamically provisioned storage on demand. StorageClass objects can also serve as a management mechanism for controlling different levels of storage and access to the storage. Cluster Administrators ( cluster-admin ) or Storage Administrators ( storage-admin ) define and create the StorageClass objects that users can request without needing any intimate knowledge about the underlying storage volume sources. The OpenShift Container Platform persistent volume framework enables this functionality and allows administrators to provision a cluster with persistent storage. The framework also gives users a way to request those resources without having any knowledge of the underlying infrastructure. Many storage types are available for use as persistent volumes in OpenShift Container Platform. Storage plug-ins might support static provisioning, dynamic provisioning or both provisioning types. 9.5.2. Dynamic provisioning in OpenShift Data Foundation Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation is software-defined storage that is optimised for container environments. It runs as an operator on OpenShift Container Platform to provide highly integrated and simplified persistent storage management for containers. OpenShift Data Foundation supports a variety of storage types, including: Block storage for databases Shared file storage for continuous integration, messaging, and data aggregation Object storage for archival, backup, and media storage Version 4 uses Red Hat Ceph Storage to provide the file, block, and object storage that backs persistent volumes, and Rook.io to manage and orchestrate provisioning of persistent volumes and claims. NooBaa provides object storage, and its Multicloud Gateway allows object federation across multiple cloud environments (available as a Technology Preview). In OpenShift Data Foundation 4, the Red Hat Ceph Storage Container Storage Interface (CSI) driver for RADOS Block Device (RBD) and Ceph File System (CephFS) handles the dynamic provisioning requests. When a PVC request comes in dynamically, the CSI driver has the following options: Create a PVC with ReadWriteOnce (RWO) and ReadWriteMany (RWX) access that is based on Ceph RBDs with volume mode Block Create a PVC with ReadWriteOnce (RWO) access that is based on Ceph RBDs with volume mode Filesystem Create a PVC with ReadWriteOnce (RWO) and ReadWriteMany (RWX) access that is based on CephFS for volume mode Filesystem The judgment of which driver (RBD or CephFS) to use is based on the entry in the storageclass.yaml file. 9.5.3. Available dynamic provisioning plug-ins OpenShift Container Platform provides the following provisioner plug-ins, which have generic implementations for dynamic provisioning that use the cluster's configured provider's API to create new storage resources: Storage type Provisioner plug-in name Notes OpenStack Cinder kubernetes.io/cinder AWS Elastic Block Store (EBS) kubernetes.io/aws-ebs For dynamic provisioning when using multiple clusters in different zones, tag each node with Key=kubernetes.io/cluster/<cluster_name>,Value=<cluster_id> where <cluster_name> and <cluster_id> are unique per cluster. AWS Elastic File System (EFS) Dynamic provisioning is accomplished through the EFS provisioner pod and not through a provisioner plug-in. Azure Disk kubernetes.io/azure-disk Azure File kubernetes.io/azure-file The persistent-volume-binder ServiceAccount requires permissions to create and get Secrets to store the Azure storage account and keys. GCE Persistent Disk (gcePD) kubernetes.io/gce-pd In multi-zone configurations, it is advisable to run one OpenShift Container Platform cluster per GCE project to avoid PVs from being created in zones where no node in the current cluster exists. VMware vSphere kubernetes.io/vsphere-volume Red Hat Virtualization csi.ovirt.org Important Any chosen provisioner plug-in also requires configuration for the relevant cloud, host, or third-party provider as per the relevant documentation. Chapter 10. Reclaiming space on target volumes The deleted files or chunks of zero data Sometimes take up storage space on the Ceph cluster resulting in inaccurate reporting of the available storage space. The reclaim space operation removes such discrepancies by executing the following operations on the target volume: fstrim - This operation is executed on volumes that are in Filesystem mode and only if the volume is mounted to a pod at the time of execution of reclaim space operation. rbd sparsify - This operation is executed when the volume is not attached to any pods and reclaims the space occupied by chunks of 4M-sized zeroed data. Note The reclaim space operation is supported only by the Ceph RBD volumes. The reclaim space operation involves a performance penalty when it is being executed. You can use one of the following methods to reclaim the space: Enabling reclaim space operation using Annotating PersistentVolumeClaims (Recommended method to use for enabling reclaim space operation) Enabling reclaim space operation using ReclaimSpaceJob Enabling reclaim space operation using ReclaimSpaceCronJob 10.1. Enabling reclaim space operation using Annotating PersistentVolumeClaims Use this procedure to annotate PersistentVolumeClaims so that it can invoke the reclaim space operation automatically based on a given schedule. Note The schedule value is in the same format as the Kubernetes CronJobs which sets the and/or interval of the recurring operation request. Recommended schedule interval is @weekly . If the schedule interval value is empty or in an invalid format, then the default schedule value is set to @weekly . Minimum supported interval between each scheduled operation is at least 24 hours. For example, @daily (At 00:00 every day) or 0 3 * * * (At 3:00 every day). Schedule the ReclaimSpace operation during off-peak, maintenance window, or the interval when the workload input/output is expected to be low. ReclaimSpaceCronJob is recreated when the schedule is modified. It is automatically deleted when the annotation is removed. Procedure Get the persistent volume claim (PVC) details. Add annotation reclaimspace.csiaddons.openshift.io/schedule=@monthly to the PVC to create reclaimspacecronjob . Verify that reclaimspacecronjob is created in the format, "<pvc-name>-xxxxxxx" . Modify the schedule to run this job automatically. Verify that the schedule for reclaimspacecronjob has been modified. 10.2. Enabling reclaim space operation using ReclaimSpaceJob ReclaimSpaceJob is a namespaced custom resource (CR) designed to invoke reclaim space operation on the target volume. This is a one time method that immediately starts the reclaim space operation. You have to repeat the creation of ReclaimSpaceJob CR to repeat the reclaim space operation when required. Note Recommended interval between the reclaim space operations is weekly . Ensure that the minimum interval between each operation is at least 24 hours . Schedule the reclaim space operation during off-peak, maintenance window, or when the workload input/output is expected to be low. Procedure Create and apply the following custom resource for reclaim space operation: where, target Indicates the volume target on which the operation is performed. persistentVolumeClaim Name of the PersistentVolumeClaim . backOfflimit Specifies the maximum number of retries before marking the reclaim space operation as failed . The default value is 6 . The allowed maximum and minimum values are 60 and 0 respectively. retryDeadlineSeconds Specifies the duration in which the operation might retire in seconds and it is relative to the start time. The value must be a positive integer. The default value is 600 seconds and the allowed maximum value is 1800 seconds. Delete the custom resource after completion of the operation. 10.3. Enabling reclaim space operation using ReclaimSpaceCronJob ReclaimSpaceCronJob invokes the reclaim space operation based on the given schedule such as daily, weekly, and so on. You have to create ReclaimSpaceCronJob only once for a persistent volume claim. The CSI-addons controller creates a ReclaimSpaceJob at the requested time and interval with the schedule attribute. Note Recommended schedule interval is @weekly . Minimum interval between each scheduled operation should be at least 24 hours. For example, @daily (At 00:00 every day) or "0 3 * * *" (At 3:00 every day). Schedule the ReclaimSpace operation during off-peak, maintenance window, or the interval when workload input/output is expected to be low. Procedure Create and apply the following custom resource for reclaim space operation where, concurrencyPolicy Describes the changes when a new ReclaimSpaceJob is scheduled by the ReclaimSpaceCronJob , while a ReclaimSpaceJob is still running. The default Forbid prevents starting a new job whereas Replace can be used to delete the running job potentially in a failure state and create a new one. failedJobsHistoryLimit Specifies the number of failed ReclaimSpaceJobs that are kept for troubleshooting. jobTemplate Specifies the ReclaimSpaceJob.spec structure that describes the details of the requested ReclaimSpaceJob operation. successfulJobsHistoryLimit Specifies the number of successful ReclaimSpaceJob operations. schedule Specifieds the and/or interval of the recurring operation request and it is in the same format as the Kubernetes CronJobs . Delete the ReclaimSpaceCronJob custom resource when execution of reclaim space operation is no longer needed or when the target PVC is deleted. Chapter 11. Volume Snapshots A volume snapshot is the state of the storage volume in a cluster at a particular point in time. These snapshots help to use storage more efficiently by not having to make a full copy each time and can be used as building blocks for developing an application. Volume snapshot class allows an administrator to specify different attributes belonging to a volume snapshot object. The OpenShift Data Foundation operator installs default volume snapshot classes depending on the platform in use. The operator owns and controls these default volume snapshot classes and they cannot be deleted or modified. You can create many snapshots of the same persistent volume claim (PVC) but cannot schedule periodic creation of snapshots. For CephFS, you can create up to 100 snapshots per PVC. For RADOS Block Device (RBD), you can create up to 512 snapshots per PVC. Note Persistent Volume encryption now supports volume snapshots. 11.1. Creating volume snapshots You can create a volume snapshot either from the Persistent Volume Claim (PVC) page or the Volume Snapshots page. Prerequisites For a consistent snapshot, the PVC should be in Bound state and not be in use. Ensure to stop all IO before taking the snapshot. Note OpenShift Data Foundation only provides crash consistency for a volume snapshot of a PVC if a pod is using it. For application consistency, be sure to first tear down a running pod to ensure consistent snapshots or use any quiesce mechanism provided by the application to ensure it. Procedure From the Persistent Volume Claims page Click Storage -> Persistent Volume Claims from the OpenShift Web Console. To create a volume snapshot, do one of the following: Beside the desired PVC, click Action menu (...) -> Create Snapshot . Click on the PVC for which you want to create the snapshot and click Actions -> Create Snapshot . Enter a Name for the volume snapshot. Choose the Snapshot Class from the drop-down list. Click Create . You will be redirected to the Details page of the volume snapshot that is created. From the Volume Snapshots page Click Storage -> Volume Snapshots from the OpenShift Web Console. In the Volume Snapshots page, click Create Volume Snapshot . Choose the required Project from the drop-down list. Choose the Persistent Volume Claim from the drop-down list. Enter a Name for the snapshot. Choose the Snapshot Class from the drop-down list. Click Create . You will be redirected to the Details page of the volume snapshot that is created. Verification steps Go to the Details page of the PVC and click the Volume Snapshots tab to see the list of volume snapshots. Verify that the new volume snapshot is listed. Click Storage -> Volume Snapshots from the OpenShift Web Console. Verify that the new volume snapshot is listed. Wait for the volume snapshot to be in Ready state. 11.2. Restoring volume snapshots When you restore a volume snapshot, a new Persistent Volume Claim (PVC) gets created. The restored PVC is independent of the volume snapshot and the parent PVC. You can restore a volume snapshot from either the Persistent Volume Claim page or the Volume Snapshots page. Procedure From the Persistent Volume Claims page You can restore volume snapshot from the Persistent Volume Claims page only if the parent PVC is present. Click Storage -> Persistent Volume Claims from the OpenShift Web Console. Click on the PVC name with the volume snapshot to restore a volume snapshot as a new PVC. In the Volume Snapshots tab, click the Action menu (...) to the volume snapshot you want to restore. Click Restore as new PVC . Enter a name for the new PVC. Select the Storage Class name. Note For Rados Block Device (RBD), you must select a storage class with the same pool as that of the parent PVC. Restoring the snapshot of an encrypted PVC using a storage class where encryption is not enabled and vice versa is not supported. Select the Access Mode of your choice. Important The ReadOnlyMany (ROX) access mode is a Developer Preview feature and is subject to Developer Preview support limitations. Developer Preview releases are not intended to be run in production environments and are not supported through the Red Hat Customer Portal case management system. If you need assistance with ReadOnlyMany feature, reach out to the ocs-devpreview@redhat.com mailing list and a member of the Red Hat Development Team will assist you as quickly as possible based on availability and work schedules. See Creating a clone or restoring a snapshot with the new readonly access mode to use the ROX access mode. Optional: For RBD, select Volume mode . Click Restore . You are redirected to the new PVC details page. From the Volume Snapshots page Click Storage -> Volume Snapshots from the OpenShift Web Console. In the Volume Snapshots tab, click the Action menu (...) to the volume snapshot you want to restore. Click Restore as new PVC . Enter a name for the new PVC. Select the Storage Class name.

You are redirected to the new PVC details page. Verification steps Click Storage -> Persistent Volume Claims from the OpenShift Web Console and confirm that the new PVC is listed in the Persistent Volume Claims page. Wait for the new PVC to reach Bound state. 11.3. Deleting volume snapshots Prerequisites For deleting a volume snapshot, the volume snapshot class which is used in that particular volume snapshot should be present. Procedure From Persistent Volume Claims page Click Storage -> Persistent Volume Claims from the OpenShift Web Console. Click on the PVC name which has the volume snapshot that needs to be deleted. In the Volume Snapshots tab, beside the desired volume snapshot, click Action menu (...) -> Delete Volume Snapshot . From Volume Snapshots page Click Storage -> Volume Snapshots from the OpenShift Web Console. In the Volume Snapshots page, beside the desired volume snapshot click Action menu (...) -> Delete Volume Snapshot . Verfication steps Ensure that the deleted volume snapshot is not present in the Volume Snapshots tab of the PVC details page. Click Storage -> Volume Snapshots and ensure that the deleted volume snapshot is not listed. Chapter 12. Volume cloning A clone is a duplicate of an existing storage volume that is used as any standard volume. You create a clone of a volume to make a point in time copy of the data. A persistent volume claim (PVC) cannot be cloned with a different size. You can create up to 512 clones per PVC for both CephFS and RADOS Block Device (RBD). 12.1. Creating a clone Prerequisites Source PVC must be in Bound state and must not be in use. Note Do not create a clone of a PVC if a Pod is using it. Doing so might cause data corruption because the PVC is not quiesced (paused). Procedure Click Storage -> Persistent Volume Claims from the OpenShift Web Console. To create a clone, do one of the following: Beside the desired PVC, click Action menu (...) -> Clone PVC . Click on the PVC that you want to clone and click Actions -> Clone PVC . Enter a Name for the clone. Select the access mode of your choice. Important The ReadOnlyMany (ROX) access mode is a Developer Preview feature and is subject to Developer Preview support limitations. Developer Preview releases are not intended to be run in production environments and are not supported through the Red Hat Customer Portal case management system. If you need assistance with ReadOnlyMany feature, reach out to the ocs-devpreview@redhat.com mailing list and a member of the Red Hat Development Team will assist you as quickly as possible based on availability and work schedules. See Creating a clone or restoring a snapshot with the new readonly access mode to use the ROX access mode. Click Clone . You are redirected to the new PVC details page. Wait for the cloned PVC status to become Bound . The cloned PVC is now available to be consumed by the pods. This cloned PVC is independent of its dataSource PVC. Chapter 13. Managing container storage interface (CSI) component placements Each cluster consists of a number of dedicated nodes such as infra and storage nodes. However, an infra node with a custom taint will not be able to use OpenShift Data Foundation Persistent Volume Claims (PVCs) on the node. So, if you want to use such nodes, you can set tolerations to bring up csi-plugins on the nodes. Procedure Edit the configmap to add the toleration for the custom taint. Remember to save before exiting the editor. Display the configmap to check the added toleration. Example output of the added toleration for the taint, nodetype=infra:NoSchedule : Note Ensure that all non-string values in the Tolerations value field has double quotation marks. For example, the values true which is of type boolean, and 1 which is of type int must be input as "true" and "1". Restart the rook-ceph-operator if the csi-cephfsplugin- * and csi-rbdplugin- * pods fail to come up on their own on the infra nodes. Example : Verification step Verify that the csi-cephfsplugin- * and csi-rbdplugin- * pods are running on the infra nodes. Chapter 14. Creating exports using NFS This section describes how to create exports using NFS that can then be accessed externally from the OpenShift cluster. Follow the instructions below to create exports and access them externally from the OpenShift Cluster: Section 14.1, "Enabling the NFS feature" Section 14.2, "Creating NFS exports" Section 14.3, "Consuming NFS exports in-cluster" Section 14.4, "Consuming NFS exports externally from the OpenShift cluster" 14.1. Enabling the NFS feature In order to use the NFS feature, it needs to be enabled in the cluster. Prerequisites OpenShift Data Foundation is installed and running in the openshift-storage namespace. The OpenShift Data Foundation installation includes a CephFilesystem. Procedure Run the following commands to enable the NFS feature: Verification steps NFS installation and configuration is complete when the following conditions are met: The CephNFS resource named ocs-storagecluster-cephnfs has a status of Ready . Check all csi-nfsplugin-* pods are running: Output will be multiple pods. For example: 14.2. Creating NFS exports NFS exports are created by creating a Persistent Volume Claim (PVC) against the ocs-storagecluster-ceph-nfs StorageClass. You can create NFS PVCs two ways: Create NFS PVC using a yaml. The following is an example PVC. Note volumeMode: Block will not work for NFS volumes. <desired_name> Specify a name for the PVC, for example, my-nfs-export . The export is created once the PVC reaches the Bound state. Create NFS PVCs from the OpenShift Container Platform web console. Prerequisites Ensure that you are logged into the OpenShift Container Platform web console and the NFS feature is enabled for the storage cluster. Procedure In the OpenShift Web Console, click Storage -> Persistent Volume Claims Set the Project to openshift-storage . Click Create PersistentVolumeClaim . Specify Storage Class , ocs-storagecluster-ceph-nfs . Specify the PVC Name , for example, my-nfs-export . Select the required Access Mode . Specify a Size as per application requirement. Select Volume mode as Filesystem . Note: Block mode is not supported for NFS PVCs Click Create and wait until the PVC is in Bound status. 14.3. Consuming NFS exports in-cluster Kubernetes application pods can consume NFS exports created by mounting a previously created PVC. You can mount the PVC one of two ways: Using a YAML: Below is an example pod that uses the example PVC created in Section 14.2, "Creating NFS exports" : <pvc_name> Specify the PVC you have previously created, for example, my-nfs-export . Using the OpenShift Container Platform web console. Procedure On the OpenShift Container Platform web console, navigate to Workloads -> Pods . Click Create Pod to create a new application pod. Under the metadata section add a name. For example, nfs-export-example , with namespace as openshift-storage . Under the spec: section, add containers: section with image and volumeMounts sections: For example: Under the spec: section, add volumes: section to add the NFS PVC as a volume for the application pod: For example: 14.4. Consuming NFS exports externally from the OpenShift cluster NFS clients outside of the OpenShift cluster can mount NFS exports created by a previously-created PVC. Procedure After the nfs flag is enabled, singe-server CephNFS is deployed by Rook. You need to fetch the value of the ceph_nfs field for the nfs-ganesha server to use in the step: For example: Expose the NFS server outside of the OpenShift cluster by creating a Kubernetes LoadBalancer Service. The example below creates a LoadBalancer Service and references the NFS server created by OpenShift Data Foundation. Replace <my-nfs> with the value you got in step 1. Collect connection information. The information external clients need to connect to an export comes from the Persistent Volume (PV) created for the PVC, and the status of the LoadBalancer Service created in the step. Get the share path from the PV. Get the name of the PV associated with the NFS export's PVC: Replace <pvc_name> with your own PVC name. For example: Use the PV name obtained previously to get the NFS export's share path: Get an ingress address for the NFS server. A service's ingress status may have multiple addresses. Choose the one desired to use for external clients. In the example below, there is only a single address: the host name ingress-id.somedomain.com . Connect the external client using the share path and ingress address from the steps. The following example mounts the export to the client's directory path /export/mount/path : If this does not work immediately, it could be that the Kubernetes environment is still taking time to configure the network resources to allow ingress to the NFS server.
