Usage example

Create a PersistentVolumeClaim that uses a configured StorageClass to dynamically provision a volume. The example below uses “storpool-csi” for StorageClass.

[k8s-master]# cat > pvclaim.yaml << _EOF_
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
metadata:
  name: my-storpool-csi-request
spec:
  accessModes:
    - ReadWriteOnce
  resources:
    requests:
      storage: 10Gi
  storageClassName: storpool-csi
_EOF_

[k8s-master]# kubectl apply -f pvclaim.yaml
[k8s-master]# kubectl get pvc

The persistent claim should be listed, and its status should change to Pending, if everything is working. The newly created volume should be listed in the pv’s:

[k8s-master]# kubectl get pv

Hint

In case this is not happening, kubectl describe pvc my-storpool-csi-request, might list a StorPool generated event e.g. noResources, or template missing, more info will be available in the storpool_mgmt API logs (/var/log/debug and /var/log/storpool/mgmt.log).

Create a pod:

[k8s-master]# cat > pod.yaml << _EOF_
kind: Pod
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
  name: task-pv-pod
spec:
  volumes:
    - name: task-pv-storage
      persistentVolumeClaim:
        claimName: my-storpool-csi-request
  containers:
    - name: task-pv-container
      image: nginx
      ports:
        - containerPort: 80
          name: "http-server"
      volumeMounts:
        - mountPath: "/usr/share/nginx/html"
          name: task-pv-storage
_EOF_

[k8s-master]# kubectl apply -f pod.yaml
[k8s-master]# kubectl get pod

The integration now supports also live expansion of the filesystem. In order to trigger a live expansion use kubectl edit pvc my-storpool-csi-request and bump the size in spec -> resources -> requests -> storage.

Note

Use kubectl exec -it task-pv-pod -- /bin/sh -c "kill 1" if you’d like to restart the container and update the size immediately.
