How to scale up/add storage to a PV-pool based NooBaa backingstore?

How To


Summary

This article provides steps to scale-up a PV-pool based NooBaa backingstore.

Environment

  • IBM Fusion Data Foundation 4.x
  • Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation 4.x

Steps

  • If possible, clean up some data from the NooBaa bucket.
  • To scale up the capacity for persistent volume based backingstore, edit the backingstore and increase the numVolumes count.
$ oc -n openshift-storage  edit backingstore {backingstore_name}

spec:
   pvPool:
    numVolumes: <NUMBER OF VOLUMES>        <<<<<<<<<<<<< Increase the count here.
    resources:
      requests:
        storage: <VOLUME SIZE>
    storageClass: <LOCAL STORAGE CLASS>
  type: pv-pool
  • Increasing the number of volumes will add more PV's to the backingstore.
  • Check if new PV was created and new backingstore pod is running.

Additional Information

  • Verify if it's Local persistent volume-backed (PV-pool) backingstore.
$  oc -n openshift-storage get backingstore {backingstore_name} -o jsonpath='{.spec.type}'
  • Jump inside the backingstore pod and verify the storage utilization.
$ oc -n openshift-storage get pods | grep {backingstore_name}
$ oc rsh {backingstore_pod}
# df -h
