A pod is the smallest unit of computing that can be deployed and managed in Kubernetes. After you have created a PVC, follow these steps to create a pod:
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
name: sio-pod-1
namespace: scaleio-ocp-integration
spec:
containers:
- image: nginx
name: sio-pod-1
volumeMounts:
- mountPath: /test-pd
name: scaleio-vol-pv
volumes:
- name: scaleio-vol-pv
scaleIO:
gateway: https://192.168.20.19:443/api
system: scaleio
protectionDomain: default
storagePool: default
volumeName: k8svol-1f0a1b8199b
secretRef:
name: scaleio-secret
namespace: scaleio-ocp-integration
fsType: xfs
Note: Replace volumeName with the name that is displayed in the VxFlex UI and replace the other values to match your VxFlex environment.
oc create -f scaleio-pod.yaml
