Introduction
Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation is a highly integrated collection of cloud storage and data services for Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform. It is available as part of the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform Service Catalog, packaged as an operator to facilitate simple deployment and management.
Installing OpenShift Data Foundation Operator
Click on Install button and leave all options as default
Scroll down the page after reviewing the settings and click on Install. You will notice that the installation is in progress.
Wait for the installation to complete. Approx ~3 mins.
You can also try validating the installation progress by running the following command and ensuring all the pods are in a running state.
oc get all -n openshift-storage

Installation is completed. You will see a green tick mark.
Next, we will create custom resources before ODF can be used. Before that, you will also notice a popup on the top right corner of an OCP console about new web console updates. e.g. one I see at my side.
Let’s refresh the web console by clicking on the Refresh web console the option is shown above.
Once the OCP web console is reloaded, Navigate to Storage and you will notice the Data Foundation option added there. Click on it. We still do not see much data as it’s installed just now.
Now, we will create the required CR’s to use the ODF operator.
Navigate to Operators -> Installed Operators and click on the Open Data Foundation Operator.
Click on Create StorageSystem button.
Click Next
Notice the node requirements in the above screenshot. Choose the correct nodes (minimum 3 nodes) and click Next.
Leave the default selection and click Next. Review the summary.
Click Create StorageSystem
It will take few mins to get all the required pods created and running. You can validate the list of pods running inside openshift-storage namespace by running the following command.
oc get po -n openshift-storage

Validate the Storage from Data Foundation page inside OCP web console. Navigate to Storage and click on Data Foundation.
Once you click on the Storage Capacity name, it will display the details.
Now, Let’s validate. In order to validate the ODF setup, we will create a pvc.
Creating a PVC
Click on Storage->PersistentVolumeClaims and fill the details.
As you can see in the screenshot above, there are two additional storage class created and their description is self explanatory. Here, we will use the ocs-storagecluster-cephfs. Click Create.
You will notice that the PVC is created successfully and it is also in the Bound state as persistent volume got created.
Below is the volume detail.
That’s all for this post.
