When the remote/edge nodes are in the READY state, you must provision storage for applications that are scheduled to run in those nodes. You can use the Dell Technologies Container Storage Interface (CSI) or OpenShift Container Storage to provision storage, as described in Deploying applications. You can also use the internal disks that are available in the edge compute node to configure a persistent volume claim (PVC) and attach the claim to the application pod.
To use local disks in the edge node:
[core@csah-pri ~]oc create -f <yaml file>
[core@csah-pri ~]oc get pods -n openshift-local-storage
[core@csah-pri ~] ssh edge.demo.lab sudo cat /proc/partitions
[core@csah-pri ~] ssh edge.demo.lab sudo ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/*
Note: Ensure that the disk provided is not in use or any partitions are created.
[core@csah-pri ~] oc create -f <sample yaml file>
[core@csah-pri ~] oc get localvolume
[core@csah-pri ~] oc get pods -n openshift-local-storage
[core@csah-pri ~] oc get sc
[core@csah-pri ~] oc get pv
For each disk that is specified in the local volume, one persistent volume is created.
[core@csah-pri ~] oc create -f <sample YAML file>
[core@csah-pri ~] oc create -f <sample YAML file>
Note: To ensure that the pod is created in the node where the local volume is created, add a nodeSelector key with labels.
