Chapter 15. Disabling Multicloud Object Gateway external service after deploying OpenShift Data Foundation
When you deploy OpenShift Data Foundation, public IPs are created even when OpenShift is installed as a private cluster. However, you can disable the Multicloud Object Gateway (MCG) load balancer usage by using the disableLoadBalancerService variable in the storagecluster CRD. This restricts MCG from creating any public resources for private clusters and helps to disable the NooBaa service EXTERNAL-IP.
Procedure
Run the following command and add the
disableLoadBalancerServicevariable in the storagecluster YAML to set the service to ClusterIP:$ oc edit storagecluster -n openshift-storage <storagecluster_name> [...] spec: arbiter: {} encryption: kms: {} externalStorage: {} managedResources: cephBlockPools: {} cephCluster: {} cephConfig: {} cephDashboard: {} cephFilesystems: {} cephNonResilientPools: {} cephObjectStoreUsers: {} cephObjectStores: {} cephRBDMirror: {} cephToolbox: {} mirroring: {} multiCloudGateway: disableLoadBalancerService: true <--------------- Add this endpoints: [...]NoteTo undo the changes and set the service to LoadBalancer, set the
disableLoadBalancerServicevariable tofalseor remove that line completely.
