Installing the driver

Download and install the ODF FlashSystem driver to manage your FlashSystem storage systems through Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation.

Important: ODF FlashSystem driver is not a standalone product and must be used together with Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation and with Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation already installed.
Important: ODF FlashSystem driver utilizes the IBM Block Storage CSI driver and installs it automatically in the cluster. If an instance of IBM Block Storage CSI driver is already installed on the cluster, it must be removed prior to installing the ODF FlashSystem driver.

Install the ODF FlashSystem driver through the Red Hat OpenShift certified operator catalog.

Note: For full installation information see, Deploying OpenShift Data Foundation in external mode > Deploy OpenShift Data Foundation using IBM FlashSystem within the Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation Product Documentation.
