Install with hwameistor-operator

You can use hwameistor-operator to deploy and manage HwameiStor system.

  • Perform Life Cycle Management (LCM) for HwameiStor components:
  • LocalDiskManager
  • LocalStorage
  • Scheduler
  • AdmissionController
  • VolumeEvictor
  • Exporter
  • HA module
  • Apiserver
  • Graph UI
  • Configure the disks for different purposes
  • Set up the storage pools automatically by discovering the underlying disks' type (e.g. HDD, SSD)
  • Set up the StorageClasses automatically according to the Hwameistor's configurations and capabilities

Steps

  1. Add hwameistor-operator Helm Repo

    helm repo add hwameistor-operator https://hwameistor.io/hwameistor-operator
helm repo update hwameistor-operator

  2. Install HwameiStor with hwameistor-operator

    Note

    If no available clean disk provided, the operator will not create StorageClass automatically. Operator will claim disk automatically while installing, the available disks will be added into pool of LocalStorageNode. If available clean disk provided after installing, it's needed to apply a LocalDiskClaim manually to added the disk into pool of LocalStorageNode. Once LocalStorageNode has any disk available in its pool, the operator will create StorageClass automatically. That is to say, no capacity, no StorageClass.

    helm install hwameistor-operator hwameistor-operator/hwameistor-operator -n hwameistor --create-namespace

Optional installation parameters:

  • Disk Reserve

    Available clean disk will be claimed and added into pool of LocalStorageNode by default.If you want to reserve some disks for other use before installing,you can set diskReserveConfigurations by helm values.

    Method 1:

    helm install hwameistor-operator hwameistor-operator/hwameistor-operator  -n hwameistor --create-namespace \
--set diskReserve\[0\].nodeName=node1 \
--set diskReserve\[0\].devices={/dev/sdc\,/dev/sdd} \
--set diskReserve\[1\].nodeName=node2 \
--set diskReserve\[1\].devices={/dev/sdc\,/dev/sde}

    This is a example to set diskReserveConfigurations by helm install --set,it may be hard to write --set options like that.If it's possible, we suggest write the diskReserveConfigurations values into a file.

    Method 2:

    diskReserve:
- nodeName: node1
  devices:
  - /dev/sdc
  - /dev/sdd
- nodeName: node2
devices:
  - /dev/sdc
  - /dev/sde

    For example, you write values like this into a file call diskReserve.yaml, you can apply the file when helm install.

    helm install hwameistor-operator hwameistor-operator/hwameistor-operator -n hwameistor --create-namespace -f diskReserve.yaml

  • Enable authentication

    helm install hwameistor-operator hwameistor-operator/hwameistor-operator  -n hwameistor --create-namespace \
--set apiserver.authentication.enable=true \
--set apiserver.authentication.accessId={YourName} \
--set apiserver.authentication.secretKey={YourPassword}

    You can also enable authentication by editing deployment/apiserver.

  • Install operator by using DaoCloud image registry:

    helm install hwameistor-operator hwameistor-operator/hwameistor-operator  -n hwameistor --create-namespace \
--set global.hwameistorImageRegistry=ghcr.m.daocloud.io \
--set global.k8sImageRegistry=m.daocloud.io/registry.k8s.io
