Appendix D. Deploying CNS and a CNS inventory file
To deploy a working vSphere CNS environment on the deployment host, first prepare it.
$ sudo yum install -y https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm $ sudo yum install -y python2-pyvmomi $ git clone -b vmw-3.9 https://github.com/openshift/openshift-ansible-contrib $ cd openshift-ansible-contrib/reference-architecture/vmware-ansible/
Next, make sure that the appropriate variables are assigned in the inventory file:
$ cat /etc/ansible/hosts
rhsub_user=rhn_username
rhsub_pass=rhn_password
rhsub_pool=8a85f9815e9b371b015e9b501d081d4b
[storage]
cns-0 openshift_node_labels="{'region': 'infra'}" ipv4addr=10.x.y.33
cns-1 openshift_node_labels="{'region': 'infra'}" ipv4addr=10.x.y.34
cns-2 openshift_node_labels="{'region': 'infra'}" ipv4addr=10.x.y.35
...omitted...
Note the storage group for the CNS nodes.
$ ansible-playbook playbooks/cns-storage.yaml
During the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform Installation, the following inventory variables are used to add Gluster CNS to the registry for persistent storage:
$ cat /etc/ansible/hosts
...omitted...
# CNS registry storage
openshift_hosted_registry_storage_kind=glusterfs
openshift_hosted_registry_storage_volume_size=30Gi
# CNS storage cluster for applications
openshift_storage_glusterfs_namespace=app-storage
openshift_storage_glusterfs_storageclass=true
openshift_storage_glusterfs_block_deploy=false
# CNS storage for OpenShift infrastructure
openshift_storage_glusterfs_registry_namespace=infra-storage
openshift_storage_glusterfs_registry_storageclass=false
openshift_storage_glusterfs_registry_block_deploy=true
openshift_storage_glusterfs_registry_block_storageclass=true
openshift_storage_glusterfs_registry_block_storageclass_default=false
openshift_storage_glusterfs_registry_block_host_vol_create=true
openshift_storage_glusterfs_registry_block_host_vol_size=100
# 100% Dependent on sizing for logging and metrics
[glusterfs]
cns-0 glusterfs_devices='[ "/dev/sdd" ]'
cns-1 glusterfs_devices='[ "/dev/sdd" ]'
cns-2 glusterfs_devices='[ "/dev/sdd" ]'
[glusterfs_registry]
infra-0 glusterfs_devices='[ "/dev/sdd" ]'
infra-1 glusterfs_devices='[ "/dev/sdd" ]'
infra-2 glusterfs_devices='[ "/dev/sdd" ]'
...omitted...After the installation has been completed, metrics can be added via the following process.
$ cat /etc/ansible/hosts ...omitted... # metrics openshift_metrics_install_metrics=true openshift_metrics_hawkular_nodeselector={"role":"infra"} openshift_metrics_cassandra_nodeselector={"role":"infra"} openshift_metrics_heapster_nodeselector={"role":"infra"} openshift_metrics_cassanda_pvc_storage_class_name="glusterfs-registry-block" openshift_metrics_cassandra_pvc_size=25Gi openshift_metrics_storage_kind=dynamic ...omitted... $ ansible-playbook /usr/share/ansible/openshift-ansible/playbooks/openshift-metrics/config.yml
Finally, logging is configured:
$ cat /etc/ansible/hosts ...omitted... # logging openshift_logging_install_logging=true openshift_logging_es_cluster_size=3 openshift_logging_es_nodeselector={"role":"infra"} openshift_logging_kibana_nodeselector={"role":"infra"} openshift_logging_curator_nodeselector={"role":"infra"} openshift_logging_es_pvc_storage_class_name="glusterfs-registry-block" openshift_logging_es_pvc_size=10Gi openshift_logging_storage_kind=dynamic $ ansible-playbook /usr/share/ansible/openshift-ansible/playbooks/openshift-logging/config.yml
