Configuring Static and Dynamic Provisioning Using Container Storage Interface (CSI) Storage Plugin

About this task

This page summarizes the high-level steps for configuring the Container Storage Interface (CSI) Storage Plugin after installation to provide static or dynamic provisioning. To learn more about static and dynamic provisioning, see Static and Dynamic Volume Provisioning Using Container Storage Interface (CSI) Storage Plugin.

Static Provisioning

Procedure

  1. Create the ticket secret and deploy the secret in the Pod only if the volume is on a secure cluster.
    See Configuring a Secret for more information.
  2. Configure a PersistentVolume in your Pod spec or as part of a separate configuration file and provide information about the volume.
    See Example: Statically Provisioning a Volume Using the Container Storage Interface (CSI) Storage Plugin, Persistent Volumes, and Example: Mounting a PersistentVolume for Static Provisioning.
  3. Configure a PersistentVolumeClaim in your Pod spec or as part of a separate configuration file.
    See PersistentVolumeClaims.
  4. Run the Pod spec using kubectl commands.
    See Overview of kubectl.

Dynamic Provisioning

Procedure

  1. Create the REST and ticket secrets and deploy the secrets in the Pod only if the volume is on a secure cluster.
    See Configuring a Secret for more information.
  2. Create a storage class in your Pod spec or in a separate configuration file.
    See Storage Classes and Example: Mounting a PersistentVolume for Dynamic Provisioning Using Container Storage Interface (CSI) Storage Plugin.
  3. Configure a PersistentVolumeClaim in your Pod spec or in a separate configuration file.
    See Example: Mounting a PersistentVolume for Dynamic Provisioning Using Container Storage Interface (CSI) Storage Plugin.
  4. Run the Pod spec using kubectl commands.
    See Overview of kubectl.
