Chapter 1. Preparing to deploy OpenShift Data Foundation

Procedure

1. Log in to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux based node and open a terminal.

2. For each node in your cluster:

   1. Verify that the node has access to the rhel-7-server-extras-rpms repository.

      # subscription-manager repos --list-enabled | grep rhel-7-server

      If you do not see both rhel-7-server-rpms and rhel-7-server-extras-rpms in the output, or if there is no output, run the following commands to enable each repository:

      # subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-7-server-rpms

      Copy to Clipboard

      # subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-7-server-extras-rpms

      Copy to Clipboard

   2. Install the required packages.

      # yum install -y policycoreutils container-selinux

      Copy to Clipboard

   3. Persistently enable container use of the Ceph file system in SELinux.

      # setsebool -P container_use_cephfs on

Procedure

1. Enable the Key/Value (KV) backend path in Vault.

   For Vault KV secret engine API, version 1:

   $ vault secrets enable -path=odf kv

   Copy to Clipboard

   For Vault KV secret engine API, version 2:

   $ vault secrets enable -path=odf kv-v2

   Copy to Clipboard

2. Create a policy to restrict users to perform a write or delete operation on the secret using the following commands.

   echo '
   path "odf/*" {
     capabilities = ["create", "read", "update", "delete", "list"]
   }
   path "sys/mounts" {
   capabilities = ["read"]
   }'| vault policy write odf -

   Copy to Clipboard

3. Create a token matching the above policy.

   $ vault token create -policy=odf -format json

   Copy to Clipboard
