Operator to create, configure and manage ember-csi, a multivendor CSI for Kubernetes and OpenShift.
You can use the operatorhub catalog to deploy the Ember CSI operator if you're using Openshift 4. You'll find the Ember CSI operator in the "Storage" section.
You can also use the latest development version of the operator. To do so, please add another catalog entry and use this instead of the default one:
oc create -f deploy/examples/catalog.yaml sed -ie 's/community-operators/external-operators/g' deploy/examples/subscription.yaml
You can install the operator using the catalog within the webinterface or using the command line like this:
oc create -f deploy/examples/operatorgroup.yaml
oc create -f deploy/examples/subscription.yaml
You need to wait until the operator has been installed, which might take a few minutes. You can check if the pod is running using the following command:
oc get -l name=ember-csi-operator pod
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
ember-csi-operator-bb9777478-xz9c8 1/1 Running 0 67s
You also need a storage backend, for example a lightweight LVM/iscsi pod for development & testing:
oc create -f deploy/examples/lvmbackend.yaml
Next, setup the storage backend using a custom resource file:
oc create -f deploy/examples/lvmdriver.yaml
Now verify that the pods are created and the storage class exists:
oc get pods
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
ember-csi-operator-67985dbc7-fb98c 1/1 Running 0 92s
example-controller-0 4/4 Running 0 83s
example-node-0-tshkq 2/2 Running 0 83s
lvmiscsi 1/1 Running 0 3m9s
oc get storageclass
NAME PROVISIONER AGE
example.ember-csi.io-sc example.ember-csi.io 4m29s
You're all set now! However, you likely want to test the deployment, so let's create a pvc and pod for testing.
oc create -f deploy/examples/pvc.yaml -f deploy/examples/app.yaml
Once the pvc and pod are up and running, it will look like this:
oc describe pods my-csi-app | tail

Normal Created 2s kubelet, node2.example.com Created container
Normal Started 2s kubelet, node2.example.com Started container
Looking inside the container you will notice that the provided volume has been mounted:
oc exec -it my-csi-app -- df -h /data
/var/lib/ember-csi/vols/e1e57b59-f290-408f-87fa-540509bbe8b5 975.9M 2.5M 906.2M 0% /data
There is also a script that uses Code Ready Containers and executes all of the above commands, making it easy to start testing:
deploy/examples/crclvm.sh
Documentation is still a work in progress, but have a look into docs/README.md for further infos.
