10.3. Enabling reclaim space operation using ReclaimSpaceCronJob

Procedure

1. Create and apply the following custom resource for reclaim space operation

   apiVersion: csiaddons.openshift.io/v1alpha1
   kind: ReclaimSpaceCronJob
   metadata:
     name: reclaimspacecronjob-sample
   spec:
     jobTemplate:
       spec:
         target:
           persistentVolumeClaim: data-pvc
         timeout: 360
     schedule: '@weekly'
     concurrencyPolicy: Forbid

   where,

   concurrencyPolicy

   Describes the changes when a new ReclaimSpaceJob is scheduled by the ReclaimSpaceCronJob, while a previous ReclaimSpaceJob is still running. The default Forbid prevents starting a new job whereas Replace can be used to delete the running job potentially in a failure state and create a new one.

   failedJobsHistoryLimit

   Specifies the number of failed ReclaimSpaceJobs that are kept for troubleshooting.

   jobTemplate

   Specifies the ReclaimSpaceJob.spec structure that describes the details of the requested ReclaimSpaceJob operation.

   successfulJobsHistoryLimit

   Specifies the number of successful ReclaimSpaceJob operations.

   schedule

   Specifieds the and/or interval of the recurring operation request and it is in the same format as the Kubernetes CronJobs.

2. Delete the ReclaimSpaceCronJob custom resource when execution of reclaim space operation is no longer needed or when the target PVC is deleted.
