CSI driver needs to be installed on both clusters participating in the replication.
Steps:
# git clone -b v2.7.1 https://github.com/dell/csi-powerflex.git
# kubectl create namespace vxflexos
Note: Kubernetes secrets with details of both PowerFlex system details needs to be created on both sides, where the default value is true for the cluster where the secret was created.
# kubectl create secret generic vxflexos-config -n vxflexos --from-file=config=samples/secret.yaml
# cd csi-powerflex/helm && cp csi-vxflexos/values.yaml myvalues.yaml
replication:
# enabled: Enable/Disable replication feature
# Allowed values:
# true: enable replication feature(install dell-csi-replicator sidecar)
# false: disable replication feature(do not install dell-csi-replicator sidecar)
# Default value: false
enabled: true
# cd dell-csi-helm-installer && ./csi-install.sh --namespace vxflexos --values ../helm/myvalues.yaml
# kubectl get pods -n vxflexos
