Use case 1: Provision PVC volumes with PowerFlex CSI driver
-
This use case describes provisioning of the PVC volumes with the PowerFlex CSI driver:
- The CSI Functionality test scripts are used for this test case. When the CSI driver is deployed using Helm, it provides several test scripts which can be used to ensure that it is functioning correctly.
- The tests that are run in the following example, creates two PVs of 16 GB each. To monitor the results, view the volume section of the PowerFlex GUI. The following YAML sample is used for deploying a Pod with a Persistent Volume Claim (PVC).
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
name: pvol0
namespace: helmtest-vxflexos
spec:
accessModes:
- ReadWriteOnce
volumeMode: Filesystem
resources:
requests:
storage: 16Gi
storageClassName: vxflexos
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
name: pvol1
namespace: helmtest-vxflexos
spec:
accessModes:
- ReadWriteOnce
volumeMode: Filesystem
resources:
requests:
storage: 16Gi
storageClassName: vxflexos-xfs
- The kubectl get pvc command retrieves the status of the claim, as shown in the following sample:
$ kubectl get pvc -n helmtest-vxflexos
NAME STATUS VOLUME CAPACITY ACCESS MODES STORAGECLASS AGE
pvol0 Bound k8s-2cc5c6df9d 16Gi RWO vxflexos 22d
pvol1 Bound k8s-9b25ab5be5 16Gi RWO vxflexos-xfs 22d
- Verify the volumes in the PowerFlex Storage UI, as shown in the following figure:
