Enabling skip snapshot directories feature on Red Hat® OpenShift®

The following procedure helps you set the configuration for skipping snapshot directories by using NFS_SKIP_SNAPSHOT_DIRS and INCLUDE_SCALE_SNAPSHOTS variable.

Before you begin

Add the following variables as needed to the configmap and set the value to 'True'.

NFS_SKIP_SNAPSHOT_DIRS
INCLUDE_SCALE_SNAPSHOTS

Procedure

Issue the following command to change the current project:
```
oc project ${PROJECT_NAME}
```

Issue the following command to edit the configmap:

oc edit configmap connmgr

After you run the preceding command, the output looks similar to the following as shown here. You can modify the following file and add or update the variables and its value in the data section.

# Please edit the object below. Lines beginning with a '#' will be ignored,
# and an empty file will abort the edit. If an error occurs while saving this file will be
# reopened with the relevant failures.

apiVersion: v1
data:
  CONNMGR_ENDPOINT: /connmgr/v1/
  CONNMGR_PROTOCOL: http
  NFS_SKIP_SNAPSHOT_DIRS: "True"
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  creationTimestamp: "2022-08-26T19:55:39Z"
  name: connmgr
  namespace: spectrum-discover
  ownerReferences:
  - apiVersion: spectrum-discover.ibm.com/v1alpha1

Save the preceding updated object and issue the following command to verify that data is updated.

oc get configmap connmgr -o yaml

After you run the preceding command, the output looks similar to the following as shown here:

apiVersion: v1
data:
  CONNMGR_ENDPOINT: /connmgr/v1/
  CONNMGR_PROTOCOL: http
  NFS_SKIP_SNAPSHOT_DIRS: "True"
kind: ConfigMap

Issue the following commands to verify that the update is made in the connection manager pod. First, the deployment must be scaled to 0 and then rescaled to 1:
Deployment is scaled to 0.
```
oc scale -n spectrum-discover deployment/spectrum-discover-connmgr --replicas 0
```
Deployment is rescaled to 1.
```
oc scale -n spectrum-discover deployment/spectrum-discover-connmgr --replicas 1
```
