OpenShift Container Platform cluster administrators can map storage to containers. For a list of supported Persistent Volume (PV) plug-ins, see Types of PVs.
The Dell OpenShift engineering team validated the design for an OpenShift Container Platform deployment using PowerMax, PowerScale, and PowerStore storage systems.
This section addresses the following topics:
To configure multipath across compute nodes:
[core@csah multipathd]$ echo 'defaults {
user_friendly_names yes
find_multipaths yes
}
blacklist {
}' | base64 -w0
[core@csah 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, the compute nodes reboot one at a time.
The Dell CSM operator for OpenShift is available on the OpenShift embedded operator hub.
Note: Install the CSM operator before you install any of the CSI drivers for the installed storage system.
The Install Operator page opens, as shown in the following figure:
[core@csah ~]$ oc get pods -n openshift-operators
The following code snippet shows sample output from the command:
