OpenShift Container Platform cluster administrators can map storage to containers. For a list of supported Persistent Volume (PV) plug-ins, see Types of PVs.
This chapter addresses the following topics:
To configure multipath across compute nodes:
[core@csah-pri multipathd]$ echo 'defaults {
user_friendly_names yes
find_multipaths yes
}
blacklist {
}' | base64 -w0
[core@csah-pri multipathd]$ oc create -f <machine config YAML>
Note: This machine configuration applies only to compute nodes. After the machine configuration file is created and applied, each compute node reboots one at a time.
Install the Dell CSM operator before you install any of the CSI drivers for the installed storage system. The CSM operator for OpenShift is available on the OpenShift embedded operator hub.
The Install Operator page opens, as shown in the following figure:
[core@csah-amd ~]$ oc get pods -n openshift-operators
