(EKS-specific) Allocating static PV for Primary and Media pods
When you want to use a disk with specific performance parameters, you can statically create the PV and PVC. You must allocate static PV and PVC before deploying the NetBackup server for the first time.
To allocate static PV for Media and Primary pods
- Create storage class in cluster.
See How does the Config-Checker utility work.
This newly created storage class name is used while creating PV and PVC's and should be mentioned for Catalog, Log, Data volume in the environment CR mediaServer section at the time of deployment.
For more information on creating the storage class, see Storage class.
For example,
kind: StorageClass apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1 metadata: name: gp2-reclaim provisioner: kubernetes.io/aws-ebs reclaimPolicy: Retain allowVolumeExpansion: true volumeBindingMode: Immediate parameters: fsType: ext4 type: gp2
- Calculate number of disks required.
The following persistent volumes are required by Media and Primary pods:
Catalog, Data and Log volume disk for primary server.
Data and Log volume disk per replica of media server.
Use the following format to form PVC names.
For primary server:
catalog-<resourceNamePrefix_of_primary>-primary-0
data-<resourceNamePrefix_of_primary>-primary-0
logs-<resourceNamePrefix_of_primary>-primary-0
For media server
data-<resourceNamePrefix_of_media>-media-<media server replica number. Count starts from 0>
logs-<resourceNamePrefix_of_media>-media-<media server replica number. Count starts from 0>
Example 1
If user wants to deploy a media server with replica count 3.
Name of the Media PVC assuming resourceNamePrefix_of_media is testmedia.
For this scenario, you must create total 8 disks, 8 PV and 8 PVCs.
6 disks, 6 PV and 6 PVCs for media server.
Following will be the names for:
Primary server
For logs: logs-testprimary-primary-0
For catalog: catalog-testprimary-primary-0
For data: data-testprimary-primary-0
Media server
For data:
data-testmedia-media-0
data-testmedia-media-1
data-testmedia-media-2
For log:
logs-testmedia-media-0
logs-testmedia-media-1
logs-testmedia-media-2
Example 2
If user wants to deploy a media server with replica count 5
Names of the Media PVC assuming resourceNamePrefix_of_media is testmedia.
For this scenario, you must create 12 disks, 12 PV and 12 PVCs
10 disks, 10 PV and 10 PVCs for media server.
Following will be the names for primary server volumes
For data:
data-testmedia-media-0
data-testmedia-media-1
data-testmedia-media-2
data-testmedia-media-3
data-testmedia-media-4
For log:
logs-testmedia-media-0
logs-testmedia-media-1
logs-testmedia-media-2
logs-testmedia-media-3
logs-testmedia-media-4
- Create the required number of AWS EBS volumes and save the VolumeId of newly created volumes.
For more information on creating EBS volumes, see EBS volumes.
(For Primary Server volumes) Create the required number of EFS. User can use single EFS to mount catalog of primary. For example, VolumeHandle in PersistentVolume spec will be as follows:
<file_system_id>:/catalog
- Create PVs for each disks.
To create the PVs, specify the created storage class and VolumeId (ID of the EBS volumes received in step 3) in the yaml file. The PV must be created using the claimRef field and provide PVC name for its corresponding namespace.
For example, if you are creating PV for catalog volume, storage required is 128GB and namespace is test. PVC named catalog-testprimary-primary-0 is linked to this PV when PVC is created in the namespace test.
apiVersion: v1 kind: PersistentVolume metadata: name: catalog spec: accessModes: - ReadWriteMany awsElasticBlockStore: fsType: xfs volumeID: aws://us-east-2c/vol-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx capacity: storage: 128Gi persistentVolumeReclaimPolicy: Retain storageClassName: gp2-retain volumeMode: Filesystem claimRef: apiVersion: v1 kind: PersistentVolumeClaim name: catalog-testprimary-primary-0 namespace: test - Create PVC with correct PVC name (step 2), storage class and storage.
For example,
apiVersion: v1 kind: PersistentVolumeClaim metadata: name: catalog-testprimary-primary-0 namespace: test spec: storageClassName: gp2-retain accessModes: - ReadWriteMany resources: requests: storage: 128Gi
- Perform step 4 and 5 for all of the following:
Primary server: Catalog, Data and Logs volume.
Media server: Logs and Data volume.
- Deploy the Operator.
- Use previously created storage class names for the volumes in primaryServer and mediaServer section in environment CR spec and deploy environment CR.
