Chapter 1. Preparing to deploy OpenShift Data Foundation


Deploying OpenShift Data Foundation on OpenShift Container Platform using local storage devices provided by IBM Power enables you to create internal cluster resources. This approach internally provisions base services. Then, all applications can access additional storage classes.

Note

Only internal OpenShift Data Foundation clusters are supported on IBM Power. See Planning your deployment for more information about deployment requirements.

Before you begin the deployment of Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation using local storage, ensure that your resource requirements are met. See requirements for installing OpenShift Data Foundation using local storage devices.

  • On the external key management system (KMS),

After you have addressed the above, follow the below steps in the order given:

Node requirements

  • The cluster must consist of at least three OpenShift Container Platform worker nodes in the cluster with locally attached storage devices on each of them.

    • Each of the three selected nodes must have at least one raw block device available to be used by OpenShift Data Foundation.
    • The devices to be used must be empty, that is, there should be no persistent volumes (PVs), volume groups (VGs), or local volumes (LVs) remaining on the disks.
  • You must have a minimum of three labeled nodes.

    • Each node that has local storage devices to be used by OpenShift Data Foundation must have a specific label to deploy OpenShift Data Foundation pods. To label the nodes, use the following command:

      $ oc label nodes <NodeNames> cluster.ocs.openshift.io/openshift-storage=''

For more information, see the Resource requirements section in the Planning guide.

1.2. Enabling key value backend path and policy in Vault

Prerequisites

  • Administrator access to Vault.
  • Carefully, choose a unique path name as the backend path that follows the naming convention since it cannot be changed later.

Procedure

  1. Enable the Key/Value (KV) backend path in Vault.

    For Vault KV secret engine API, version 1:

    $ vault secrets enable -path=odf kv

    For Vault KV secret engine API, version 2:

    $ vault secrets enable -path=odf kv-v2
  2. Create a policy to restrict users to perform a write or delete operation on the secret using the following commands.

    echo '
    path "odf/*" {
      capabilities = ["create", "read", "update", "delete", "list"]
    }
    path "sys/mounts" {
    capabilities = ["read"]
    }'| vault policy write odf -
  3. Create a token matching the above policy.

    $ vault token create -policy=odf -format json
