7장. Scaling storage capacity of GCP OpenShift Data Foundation cluster


To scale the storage capacity of your configured Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation worker nodes on GCP cluster, you can increase the capacity by adding three disks at a time. Three disks are needed since OpenShift Data Foundation uses a replica count of 3 to maintain the high availability. So the amount of storage consumed is three times the usable space.

참고

Usable space might vary when encryption is enabled or replica 2 pools are being used.

7.1. Scaling up storage capacity on a cluster

To increase the storage capacity in a dynamically created storage cluster on an user-provisioned infrastructure, you can add storage capacity and performance to your configured Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation worker nodes.

Prerequisites

  • You have administrative privilege to the OpenShift Container Platform Console.
  • You have a running OpenShift Data Foundation Storage Cluster.
  • The disk should be of the same size and type as used during initial deployment.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the OpenShift Web Console.
  2. Click Operators Installed Operators.
  3. Click OpenShift Data Foundation Operator.
  4. Click the Storage Systems tab.

    1. Click the Action Menu (⋮) on the far right of the storage system name to extend the options menu.
    2. Select Add Capacity from the options menu.
    3. Select the Storage Class. Choose the storage class which you wish to use to provision new storage devices.
    4. Click Add.
  5. To check the status, navigate to Storage Data Foundation and verify that the Storage System in the Status card has a green tick.

Verification steps

  • Verify the Raw Capacity card.

    1. In the OpenShift Web Console, click Storage Data Foundation.
    2. In the Status card of the Overview tab, click Storage System and then click the storage system link from the pop up that appears.
    3. In the Block and File tab, check the Raw Capacity card.

      Note that the capacity increases based on your selections.

      참고

      The raw capacity does not take replication into account and shows the full capacity.

  • Verify that the new object storage devices (OSDs) and their corresponding new Persistent Volume Claims (PVCs) are created.

    • To view the state of the newly created OSDs:

      1. Click Workloads Pods from the OpenShift Web Console.
      2. Select openshift-storage from the Project drop-down list.

        참고

        If the Show default projects option is disabled, use the toggle button to list all the default projects.

    • To view the state of the PVCs:

      1. Click Storage Persistent Volume Claims from the OpenShift Web Console.
      2. Select openshift-storage from the Project drop-down list.

        참고

        If the Show default projects option is disabled, use the toggle button to list all the default projects.

  • Optional: If cluster-wide encryption is enabled on the cluster, verify that the new OSD devices are encrypted.

    1. Identify the nodes where the new OSD pods are running.

      $ oc get -n openshift-storage -o=custom-columns=NODE:.spec.nodeName pod/<OSD-pod-name>
      <OSD-pod-name>

      Is the name of the OSD pod.

      For example:

      $ oc get -n openshift-storage -o=custom-columns=NODE:.spec.nodeName pod/rook-ceph-osd-0-544db49d7f-qrgqm

      Example output:

      NODE
      compute-1
    2. For each of the nodes identified in the previous step, do the following:

      1. Create a debug pod and open a chroot environment for the selected hosts.

        $ oc debug node/<node-name>
        <node-name>

        Is the name of the node.

        $ chroot /host
      2. Check for the crypt keyword beside the ocs-deviceset names.

        $ lsblk
