2.5. Finding available storage devices

Procedure

1. List and verify the name of the worker nodes with the OpenShift Data Foundation label.

   $ oc get nodes -l cluster.ocs.openshift.io/openshift-storage=

   Example output:

   NAME       STATUS   ROLES    AGE     VERSION
   worker-0   Ready    worker   2d11h   v1.23.3+e419edf
   worker-1   Ready    worker   2d11h   v1.23.3+e419edf
   worker-2   Ready    worker   2d11h   v1.23.3+e419edf

2. Log in to each worker node that is used for OpenShift Data Foundation resources and find the name of the additional disk that you have attached while deploying Openshift Container Platform.

   $ oc debug node/<node name>

   Example output:

   $ oc debug node/worker-0
   Starting pod/worker-0-debug ...
   To use host binaries, run `chroot /host`
   Pod IP: 192.168.0.63
   If you don't see a command prompt, try pressing enter.
   sh-4.4#
   sh-4.4# chroot /host
   sh-4.4# lsblk

   In this example, for worker-0, the available local devices of 500G are sda, sdc, sde,sdg, sdi, sdk, sdm,sdo.

3. Repeat the above step for all the other worker nodes that have the storage devices to be used by OpenShift Data Foundation. See this Knowledge Base article for more details.
