Configure the storage network. .. only:: starlingx Follow the next steps to configure storage network .. only:: partner .. include:: /_includes/configure-external-netapp.rest #. If you have not done so already, create an address pool for the storage network. This can be done at any time. .. code-block:: none system addrpool-add --ranges - For example: .. code-block:: none (keystone_admin)$ system addrpool-add --ranges 10.10.20.1-10.10.20.100 storage-pool 10.10.20.0 24 #. If you have not done so already, create the storage network using the address pool. For example: .. code-block:: none (keystone_admin)$ system addrpool-list | grep storage-pool | awk '{print$2}' | xargs system network-add storage-net storage true #. For each host in the system, do the following: #. Lock the host. .. code-block:: none (keystone_admin)$ system host-lock #. Create an interface using the address pool. For example: .. code-block:: none (keystone_admin)$ system host-if-modify -n storage0 -c platform --ipv4-mode static --ipv4-pool storage-pool controller-0 enp0s9 #. Assign the interface to the network. For example: .. code-block:: none (keystone_admin)$ system interface-network-assign controller-0 storage0 storage-net #. Unlock the system. .. code-block:: none (keystone_admin)$ system host-unlock .. _configuring-an-external-netapp-deployment-as-the-storage-backend-mod-localhost: #. Configure NetApps configurable parameters and run the provided install_netapp_backend.yml ansible playbook to enable connectivity to NetApp as a storage backend for |prod|. #. Provide NetApp backend configurable parameters in an overrides yaml file. You can make changes-in-place to your existing localhost.yml file or create another in an alternative location. In either case, you also have the option of using an ansible vault named secrets.yml for sensitive data. The alternative must be named localhost.yaml. The following parameters are mandatory: ``ansible_become_pass`` Provide the admin password. ``netapp_backends`` **name** A name for the storage class. ``provisioner`` This value must be ``netapp.io/trident``. ``backendType`` This value can be anything but must be the same as StorageDriverName below. ``version`` This value must be 1. ``storageDriverName`` This value can be anything but must be the same as backendType below. ``managementLIF`` The management IP address for the backend logical interface. ``dataLIF`` The data IP address for the backend logical interface. ``svm`` The storage virtual machine type to use. ``username`` The username for authentication against the netapp backend. ``password`` The password for authentication against the netapp backend. The following parameters are optional: ``trident_setup_dir`` Set a staging directory for generated configuration files. The default is /tmp/trident. ``trident_namespace`` Set this option to use an alternate Kubernetes namespace. ``trident_rest_api_port`` Use an alternate port for the Trident REST API. The default is 8000. ``trident_install_extra_params`` Add extra space-separated parameters when installing trident. For complete listings of available parameters, see `https://opendev.org/starlingx/ansible-playbooks/src/commit/d05785ffd9add6553662fcab43f30bf8d9f6d2e3/playbookconfig/src/playbooks/host_vars/netapp/default.yml `__ and `https://opendev.org/starlingx/ansible-playbooks/src/commit/d05785ffd9add6553662fcab43f30bf8d9f6d2e3/playbookconfig/src/playbooks/roles/k8s-storage-backends/netapp/vars/main.yml `__ The following example shows a minimal configuration in localhost.yaml: .. code-block:: none ansible_become_pass: xx43U~a96DN*m.? trident_setup_dir: /tmp/trident netapp_k8s_storageclasses: - metadata: name: netapp-nas-backend provisioner: netapp.io/trident parameters: backendType: "ontap-nas" netapp_k8s_snapshotstorageclasses: - metadata: name: csi-snapclass driver: csi.trident.netapp.io deletionPolicy: Delete netapp_backends: - version: 1 storageDriverName: "ontap-nas" backendName: "nas-backend" managementLIF: "10.0.0.1" dataLIF: "10.0.0.2" svm: "svm_nfs" username: "admin" password: "secret" This file is sectioned into ``netapp_k8s_storageclass``, ``netapp_k8s_snapshotstorageclasses``, and ``netapp_backends``. You can add multiple backends and/or storage classes. .. note:: To use IPv6 addressing, you must add the following to your configuration: .. code-block:: none trident_install_extra_params: "--use-ipv6" For more information about configuration options, see `https://netapp-trident.readthedocs.io/en/stable-v20.04/kubernetes/operations/tasks/backends/ontap.html `__. .. note:: By default, NetApp is configured to have ``777`` as unixPermissions. |prod| recommends changing these settings to make it more secure, for example, ``"unixPermissions": "755"``. Ensure that the right permissions are used, and there is no conflict with container security. Do NOT use ``777`` as ``unixPermissions`` to configure an external NetApp deployment as the Storage backend. For more information, contact NetApp, at `https://www.netapp.com/ `__. #. Run the playbook. The following example uses the ``-e`` option to specify a customized location for the localhost.yml file. .. code-block:: none ansible-playbook /usr/share/ansible/stx-ansible/playbooks/install_netapp_backend.yml -e "override_files_dir=" Upon successful launch, there will be one Trident pod running on each node, plus an extra pod for the REST API running on one of the controller nodes. #. Confirm that the pods launched successfully. In an all-in-one simplex environment you will see pods similar to the following: .. code-block:: none (keystone_admin)$ kubectl -n get pods NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE trident-csi-c4575c987-ww49n 5/5 Running 0 0h5m trident-csi-hv5l7 2/2 Running 0 0h5m .. rubric:: |postreq| To configure a persistent volume claim for the NetApp backend, add the appropriate storage-class name you set up in step :ref:`2 ` \(``netapp-nas-backend`` in this example\) to the persistent volume claim's yaml configuration file. For more information about this file, see |usertasks-doc|: :ref:`Create ReadWriteOnce Persistent Volume Claims `. .. _configure-netapps-using-a-private-docker-registry: ------------------------------------------------- Configure NetApps Using a Private Docker Registry ------------------------------------------------- Use the ``docker_registries`` parameter to pull from the local registry rather than public ones. You must first push the files to the local registry.
