Storage
Installing on a classic infrastructure:
When you are configuring storage as part of the installation, consider using the default storage that is available with Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud (ROKS). This storage has been tested with a Infrastructure Automation deployment on Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud. You can choose to deploy and use your own storage if needed or preferred.
The following storage classes are the default storage classes for Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud:
storageClass: ibmc-file-gold-gidstorageClassLargeBlock: ibmc-block-gold
Note: ibmc-file-gold-gid does not have volume expansion enabled by default, which is required by Infrastructure Automation. For more information, see Storage class requirements.
Installing on VPC infrastructure (using Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation storage):
Consider using Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation storage. This storage has been tested with a Infrastructure Automation deployment on Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud. To use this storage provider, you need to first deploy Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation on your CPV cluster. For more information, see Deploying OpenShift Data Foundation on VPC clusters.
When you do use this storage, the following storage classes are the default storage classes to use for Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud:
storageClass: ocs-storagecluster-cephfsstorageClassLargeBlock: ocs-storagecluster-ceph-rbd
For more information about these storage classes, see the IBM Cloud Docs Storage class reference.
