Chapter 29. Expanding Persistent Volumes
29.1. Enabling Expansion of Persistent Volume Claims
Volume expansion is a Technology Preview feature, and hence, is not enabled by default in your OpenShift Container Platform 3.10 cluster. There may be other reasons that OpenShift Container Platform administrators wish to enable this feature for certain use cases.
For more information on Red Hat Technology Preview features support scope, see https://access.redhat.com/support/offerings/techpreview/.
To allow expansion of persistent volume claims (PVC) by OpenShift Container Platform users, OpenShift Container Platform administrators must create or update a StorageClass with allowVolumeExpansion set to true. Only PVCs created from that class are allowed to expand.
Apart from that, OpenShift Container Platform administrators must enable the ExpandPersistentVolumes feature flag and turn on the PersistentVolumeClaimResize admission controller. Refer to Admission Controllers for more information on the PersistentVolumeClaimResize admission controller.
To enable the feature gate, set ExpandPersistentVolumes to true across the system:
Configure the appropriate node configuration map:
# oc edit configmaps <name> -n openshift-node
For example:
oc edit cm node-config-compute -n openshift-node ... kubeletArguments: ... feature-gates: - ExpandPersistentVolumes=true
Enable the
ExpandPersistentVolumesfeature gate on the master API and controller manager:# cat /etc/origin/master/master-config.yaml ... kubernetesMasterConfig: apiServerArguments: ... feature-gates: - ExpandPersistentVolumes=true controllerArguments: ... feature-gates: - ExpandPersistentVolumes=true # master-restart api # master-restart controllers
29.2. Expanding GlusterFS-Based Persistent Volume Claims
Once the OpenShift Container Platform administrator has created a StorageClass with allowVolumeExpansion set to true, you can create a PVC from that class, and afterwards, whenever needed, you can edit the PVC and request a new size.
For example:
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
name: gluster-mysql
spec:
storageClass: "storageClassWithFlagSet"
accessModes:
- ReadWriteOnce
resources:
requests:
storage: 8Gi 1- 1
- You can request an expanded volume by updating
spec.resources.requests.
29.3. Expanding Persistent Volume Claims with a File System
Expanding PVCs based on volume types that need file system resizing (such as GCE PD, EBS, and Cinder) is a two-step process. This process usually involves expanding volume objects in the CloudProvider, and then expanding the file system on the actual node.
Expanding the file system on the node only happens when a new pod is started with the volume.
The following process assumes that the PVC was previously created from a StorageClass with allowVolumeExpansion set to true:
-
Edit the PVC and request a new size by editing
spec.resources.requests. Once the CloudProvider object has finished resizing, the PVC is set toFileSystemResizePending. - Type the following command to check the condition:
oc describe pvc <pvc_name>
When the CloudProvider object has finished resizing, the persistent volume (PV) object reflects the newly requested size in PersistentVolume.Spec.Capacity. At this point, you can create or re-create a new pod from the PVC to finish the file system resizing. Once the pod is running, the newly requested size is available and FileSystemResizePending condition is removed from the PVC.
29.4. Recovering from Failure when Expanding Volumes
If expanding underlying storage fails either on master or node, the OpenShift Container Platform administrator can manually recover the PVC state and cancel the resize requests that are continuously retried by the controller without administrator intervention.
Currently, this can be done manually by completing the following steps:
-
Mark the PV that is bound to the claim (PVC) with the
Retainreclaim policy. This can be done by editing the PV and changingpersistentVolumeReclaimPolicytoRetain. - Delete the PVC (it will be recreated later).
-
To ensure that the newly created PVC can bind to the PV marked
Retain, manually edit the PV and delete theclaimRefentry from the PV specs. This marks the PV asAvailable. For more information about prebinding PVCs, see volume and claim prebinding. -
Re-create the PVC in a smaller size or a size that can be allocated by the underlying storage provider. Also, set the
volumeNamefield of the PVC to the name of the PV. This binds the PVC to the provisioned PV only. - Restore the reclaim policy on the PV.
