Installing Red Hat OpenShift Container Storage

Use the IBM Cloud® UI to install Red Hat® OpenShift® Container Storage (OCS).

Procedure

Install the OpenShift-data-foundation add-on with odfDeploy set to true.
1. Login to the IBM Cloud UI.
2. Select your Red Hat OpenShift cluster and verify that it is working correctly.
3. On the cluster overview page, access the add-on section.
4. Click Install OpenShift-data-foundation to view the configuration list.
5. Verify that the value of odfDeploy is set to true and the storage capacity is configured for osdSize.
6. Edit the workerNodes section and install OCS on dedicated Nodes with the following format. Select at least 3 worker nodes, such as 10.249.128.3,10.249.128.4,10.249.128.5. For more information, see Installing the OpenShift Data Foundation add-on from the console (https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/openshift?topic=openshift-deploy-odf-vpc#install-odf-console-vpc).

About 15-20 minutes after installation, run the following commands to verify that the Red Hat OpenShift Container Storage is installed successfully:

$ oc get pods -n OpenShift-storage

$ oc get pods -n OpenShift-storage
