Defining your internal storage space

For information about offloading data from your Analytics deployment, see Planning to offload data to a third-party system.

The steps that you complete to define your internal storage allocations depend on the deployment options that you configured.

Data & Master storage

Complete the following steps only if you did not configure shared storage (described in Reducing storage complexity).

1. Open the analytics_cr.yaml file for editing.

2. In the CR, locate the storage.data.volumeClaimTemplate section and add the volumeSize field as shown in the following example.

   storage:
     data:
       volumeClaimTemplate:
         storageClassName: ...
         volumeSize: $DATA_VOLUME_SIZE

   Replace $DATA_VOLUME_SIZE with the value that you calculated for Storage per node in Data storage: calculate how much data you want to store.

3. Next, locate the storage.master.volumeClaimTemplate section and add the volumeSize field as shown in the following example.

   storage:
     master:
       volumeClaimTemplate:
         storageClassName: ...
         volumeSize: $VOLUME_SIZE

   Replace $VOLUME_SIZE with the value that you calculated in Master storage: estimate disk space needs.

4. Save the file.

5. Skip to the section for MQ storage.

Shared storage

Complete the following steps only if you configured shared storage by completing the steps in Reducing storage complexity to set storage.type: shared.

1. Open the analytics_cr.yaml file for editing.

2. In the CR, locate the storage.shared.volumeClaimTemplate section and add the volumeSize field as shown in the following example.

   storage:
     shared:
       volumeClaimTemplate:
         storageClassName: ...
         volumeSize: $STORAGE_PER_NODE

   Replace $STORAGE_PER_NODE with the value that you calculated for Storage per node in Data storage: calculate how much data you want to store.

3. Save the file.

4. Continue to the section for MQ storage.

MQ storage

Complete this procedure only if you added a message queue to your Analytics topology by setting mq.enabled: true as explained in Adding a message queue.

1. In the CR, locate the mq.zk.volumeClaimTemplate section and add the volumeSize field as shown in the following example.

   mq:
     zk:
       volumeClaimTemplate:
         storageClassName: ...
         volumeSize: $VOLUME_SIZE

   Replace $VOLUME_SIZE with the value that you calculated for mq-zk in MQ storage: estimate disk space needs.

2. In the CR, locate the mq.kafka.volumeClaimTemplate section and add the volumeSize field as shown in the following example.

   mq:
     kafka:
       volumeClaimTemplate:
         storageClassName: ...
         volumeSize: $VOLUME_SIZE

   Replace $VOLUME_SIZE with the value that you calculated for mq-kafka in MQ storage: estimate disk space needs.

3. Save and close the file.
