Deployment

Container Repository

In order to use the container image that you just built in the previous step, the image needs to be pushed to some container repository.

• Quay.io (recommended)

  Follow this tutorial to configure quay.io.

  Create a repository called ibm-spectrum-scale-csi-operator.

• Docker

  Deploying your own Docker registry is an involved process and outside of the scope of this document.

The documentation will assume that the quay.io path is being used.

Pushing the image

Once you have a repository ready:

# Authenticate to quay.io
docker login <credentials> quay.io

# Tag the build
docker tag csi-scale-operator quay.io/<your-user>/ibm-spectrum-scale-csi-operator:v0.9.1

# push the image
docker push quay.io/<your-user>/ibm-spectrum-scale-csi-operator:v0.9.1

# Update your deployment to point at your image.
hacks/change_deploy_image.py -i quay.io/<your-user>/ibm-spectrum-scale-csi-operator:v0.9.1

Installing Operator

Note

For OpenShift environments, replace kubectl with oc

Run the following to deploy the operator manually:

cd ${OPERATOR_DIR}/stable/ibm-spectrum-scale-csi-operator-bundle/operators/ibm-spectrum-scale-csi-operator

kubectl apply -f deploy/namespace.yaml
kubectl apply -f deploy/operator.yaml
kubectl apply -f deploy/role.yaml
kubectl apply -f deploy/role_binding.yaml
kubectl apply -f deploy/service_account.yaml
kubectl apply -f deploy/crds/ibm-spectrum-scale-csi-operator-crd.yaml

Starting the CSI Driver

Note

Before starting the plugin, add any GUI secrets to the appropriate namespace.

A Custom Resource (CR) file is provided deploy/crds/ibm-spectrum-scale-csi-operator-cr.yaml. Modify this file to match the properties in your environment.

To start:

kubectl apply -f deploy/crds/ibm-spectrum-scale-csi-operator-cr.yaml

To stop:

kubectl delete -f deploy/crds/ibm-spectrum-scale-csi-operator-cr.yaml

Removing the CSI Operator

To remove the operator:

# The following removes the csi-driver
kubectl delete -f deploy/crds/ibm-spectrum-scale-csi-operator-cr.yaml

# The following removes the csi-operator
kubectl delete -f deploy/operator.yaml
kubectl delete -f deploy/role.yaml
kubectl delete -f deploy/role_binding.yaml
kubectl delete -f deploy/service_account.yaml
kubectl delete -f deploy/crds/ibm-spectrum-scale-csi-operator-crd.yaml

# The following removes the namespace
kubectl delete -f deploy/namespace.yaml

This will completely destroy the operator and all associated resources.
