Chapter 2. Installing the OpenShift Data Foundation Logical Volume Manager Operator using RHACM

Procedure

1. Log in to the RHACM CLI using your OpenShift credentials.

   For more information, see Install Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes.

2. Create a namespace.

   # oc create ns lvm-policy-ns

   Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

3. Create the policy YAML in the namespace.

   # This policy verifies the installation of the official version of the OpenShift Data Foundation
   # Logical Volume Manager Operator on the managed clusters.
   # If set to "enforce" it installs the operator.
   # Used APIs: OLM, ODF-LVMO #https://github.com/operator-framework/operator-lifecycle-manager
   # https://github.com/red-hat-storage/lvm-operator

4. Run the following command:

   # oc create -f policy-lvm-operator.yaml -n lvm-policy-ns

   Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

   This creates a Policy, a PlacementRule, and a PlacementBinding. The Policy creates a Namespace, OperatorGroup, Subscription, and LVMCluster resource. This deploys the operator on the SNO clusters which match the selection criteria and configures it to set up the required resources in order to provision storage. The operator uses all the unused disks after installation.
