OpenShift Container Platform on Dell EMC VxFlex Ready: storage pools and volumes configuration before installation of OCP and after-configuration.

Solution In Progress - Updated -

Issue

PowerFlex is used as infrastructure storage on top of which the OCP is deployed. It is needed to associate PowerFlex storage pool with hard drives, create and mapPowerFlex volumes and creation of individual volumes as we required for each node of Openshift Container Platform before proceeding with the installation.

With HCI architecture, each node in the cluster contributes storage resources as well as hosts applications and workloads. This architecture allows you to scale your infrastructure uniformly and with a pre-defined building lock that adds both storage and compute resources.

Environment

  • OpenShift Container Platform 4 RHCOP with HCI architecture.
  • Dell EMC VxFlex Ready Nodes with PowerFlex as the underlying software-defined storage .
