Install

If you are looking to upgrade an existing IBM Storage Scale container native cluster, see Upgrading.

The installation process for IBM Storage Scale container native begins with applying the install.yaml to create and define Kubernetes configuration across the following namespaces:

• ibm-spectrum-scale-operator
• ibm-spectrum-scale-dns
• ibm-spectrum-scale-csi
• ibm-spectrum-scale

Run the following command to configure the environment:

oc apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/IBM/ibm-spectrum-scale-container-native/v5.2.1.x/generated/scale/install.yaml

Verification

Validate that the following namespaces have been created by running the command:

oc get namespaces | grep ibm-spectrum-scale

$ oc get namespaces | grep ibm-spectrum-scale
ibm-spectrum-scale                                 Active   4s
ibm-spectrum-scale-csi                             Active   27s
ibm-spectrum-scale-dns                             Active   26s
ibm-spectrum-scale-operator                        Active   26s

Validate that operator pods are running in the following two namespaces:

1. ibm-spectrum-scale-operator

    oc get pods -n ibm-spectrum-scale-operator
   

    $ oc get pods -n ibm-spectrum-scale-operator
    NAME                                                     READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
    ibm-spectrum-scale-controller-manager-78df9cf866-jd89q   1/1     Running   0          78s
   

2. ibm-spectrum-scale-csi

    oc get pods -n ibm-spectrum-scale-csi
   

    $ oc get pods -n ibm-spectrum-scale-csi
    NAME                                               READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
    ibm-spectrum-scale-csi-operator-7f94bfd897-w88fr   1/1     Running   0          40s
