Creating a filesystem

Use this procedure to create a filesystem.

1. Log in to the OpenShift® Container Platform web console.
2. Go to Storage > Fusion Access for SAN.

4. Enter a Name for the new file system.
5. Select the Logical Unit Numbers (LUNs) that you want to use as the storage volumes for your file system.
6. Click Create file system.
   The Fusion Access for SAN page reloads, and the new file system appears in the File systems tab.
7. Repeat this procedure for each filesystem that you want to create.
8. Verify whether the file system is created successfully.
   1. Observe the Status of the file system in the File systems tab until it is marked as Healthy.
   2. Click the StorageClass for the file system.
   3. In the YAML tab, verify the following values:
      1. The value in the name field is the name of the file system that you created.
      2. The value in the provisioner field is spectrumscale.csi.ibm.com.
      3. The value in the volBackendFs field matches the name of the file system that you created.
