OpenEBS Operator

OpenEBS provides persistent, container-native, block storage for stateful applications running in a Kubernetes environment.

To install the OpenEBS operator, follow these steps:

1. Install the OpenEBS Local Persistent Volumes (PV) backed by Logical Volume Manager (LVM) storage by running this command:

   kubectl apply -f https://openebs.github.io/charts/lvm-operator.yaml

2. Copy the contents below to a file named sc.yaml, and change the volgroup to the name defined in your worker nodes and list the nodes one after the other for the LVM nodes.

   Contents of sc.yaml:

   apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1
   kind: StorageClass
   metadata:
     name: openebs-lvmpv
   allowVolumeExpansion: true
   parameters:
     storage: "lvm"
     volgroup: "<YOUR VOLUME GROUP NAME>"
   provisioner: local.csi.openebs.io
   allowedTopologies:
     - matchLabelExpressions:
       - key: kubernetes.io/hostname
         values:
           - << Specify the lvm nodes >>

3. Install the customized storage class by running this command:

   kubectl apply -f sc.yaml
