k8s_isi_provisioner

Kubernetes external storage provisioner for Dell Isilon

Based on the following: https://github.com/kubernetes-incubator/external-storage https://github.com/codedellemc/goisilon

Instructions: In order to use this external provisioner, you can use the image pushed to docker hub "catac/k8s_isi_provisioner", or build it yourself.

Building

To build this provisioner, ensure you have go, and glide installed. This code has been tested with Go 1.8 and higher. To build the software, run make.

The provisioner requires permissions if you are running it in OpenShift.

oc adm policy add-cluster-role-to-user system:persistent-volume-provisioner system:serviceaccount:k8s-isi-provisioner:default

It also requires pemissions if you're running in pure Kubernetes:

kubectl create -f auth.yaml

To deploy the provisioner, run

oc create -f pod.yaml

Create a storage class using the class.yaml file

oc create -f class.yaml

Or in Kubernetes, run:

kubectl create -f pod.yaml
kubectl create -f class.yaml

Some versions of Isilon may require the use of NFSv3. In that case, run:

kubectl create -f class-with-mount-options.yaml

To create a persistent volume, create a pvc and add an annotation: volume.beta.kubernetes.io/storage-class: "k8s-isilon" This will enable the automatic creation of a persistent volume.

Tested against: https://www.emc.com/products-solutions/trial-software-download/isilon.htm

This provisioner has support for Isilon Storage Quotas, however they have not been tested due to not having a license.
