Creating an Object Bucket Claim using the OpenShift Web Console

Use this information to create an Object Bucket Claim using the OpenShift Web Console.

Before you begin

Ensure you have the following:
  • Administrative access to the OpenShift Web Console.
  • In order for your applications to communicate with the OBC, you need to use the configmap and secret. For more information, see Dynamic Object Bucket Claim.

Procedure

From the OpenShift Web Console, go to Storage > Object Bucket Claims > Create Object Bucket Claim.

  1. Enter a name for your object bucket claim.
  2. Select the appropriate storage class based on your deployment, either internal or external, from the drop-down menu.
    • Internal mode
      The following storage classes, which were created after deployment, are available for use:
      ocs-storagecluster-ceph-rgw
      Uses the Ceph Object Gateway (RGW).
      openshift-storage.noobaa.io
      Uses the Multicloud Object Gateway (MCG).
    • External mode
      The following storage classes, which were created after deployment, are available for use:
      ocs-external-storagecluster-ceph-rgw
      uses the RGW.
      openshift-storage.noobaa.io
      Uses the MCG.
      Note: The RGW OBC storage class is only available with fresh installations of Fusion Data Foundation. It does not apply to clusters upgraded from previous OpenShift Data Foundation releases.
  3. Click Create.

    Once you create the OBC, you are redirected to its detail page.
