Manual¶

Note

For OpenShift environments, replace kubectl with oc

The following .yaml files needs to be applied to your cluster

namespace.yaml: This configuration file creates the ibm-spectrum-scale-csi-driver namespace.
ibm-spectrum-scale-csi-operator.yaml: This is an auto-generated combined configuration file that starts the operator pods.
ibm-spectrum-scale-csi-operator-cr.yaml: This is a custom resource file (CR) that the admin must modify to match their Spectrum Scale environment, which loads the csi-driver plugin.

Create the Operator¶

Download and extract a .tar.gz file from ibm-spectrum-scale-csi-operator/releases page.
Apply the namespace and operator configuration files.

kubectl apply -f namespace.yaml
kubectl apply -f ibm-spectrum-scale-csi-operator.yaml

Create and apply the secret for the Spectrum Scale GUI.

Create a file secret.json with the following, replacing the name|username|password fields.

{
    "apiVersion": "v1",
    "kind": "List",
    "items":
    [{
        "kind": "Secret",
        "apiVersion": "v1",
        "metadata": {
            "name": "<spectrum-scale-gui-secret>",
            "label": {
                "app.kubernetes.io/name": "ibm-spectrum-scale-csi-operator"
            }
        },
        "data": {
            "username": "<base64_username>",
            "password": "<base64_password>"
        }
    }]
}

Then apply with the following command:

kubectl apply -f secret.json

Edit and apply the ibm-spectrum-scale-csi-operator-cr.yaml file to start the csi-driver plugin.

# Modify this file to match your environment properties
kubectl apply -f ibm-spectrum-scale-csi-operator-cr.yaml

Delete the Operator¶

To remove the operator, run delete of the yaml files in the following order:

kubectl delete -f ibm-spectrum-scale-csi-operator-cr.yaml
kubectl delete -f ibm-spectrum-scale-csi-operator.yaml
kubectl delete -f namespace.yaml
