3.3. Configuring registry storage for bare metal

As a cluster administrator, following installation you must configure your registry to use storage.

Prerequisites

Cluster administrator permissions.
A cluster on bare metal.
Provision persistent storage for your cluster, such as Red Hat OpenShift Container Storage. To deploy a private image registry, your storage must provide ReadWriteMany access mode.
Must have "100Gi" capacity.

Procedure

To configure your registry to use storage, change the spec.storage.pvc in the configs.imageregistry/cluster resource.
Verify you do not have a registry Pod:
```
$ oc get pod -n openshift-image-registry
```
注記
If the storage type is emptyDIR, the replica number cannot be greater than 1. If the storage type is NFS, and you want to scale up the registry Pod by setting replica>1 you must enable the no_wdelay mount option. For example:
```
# cat /etc/exports
/mnt/data *(rw,sync,no_wdelay,no_root_squash,insecure,fsid=0)
sh-4.3# exportfs -rv
exporting *:/mnt/data
```
Check the registry configuration:
```
$ oc edit configs.imageregistry.operator.openshift.io

storage:
  pvc:
    claim:
```
Leave the claim field blank to allow the automatic creation of an image-registry-storage PVC.
Check the clusteroperator status:
```
$ oc get clusteroperator image-registry
```
