About zfssa-csi-driver

This plugin supports Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance as a backend for block storage (iSCSI volumes) and file storage (NFS).

CSI Plugin Version Supported CSI Versions Supported Kubernetes Versions Persistence Supported Access Modes Dynamic Provisioning Raw Block Support
v1.0.0 v1.0+ v1.17.X+ Persistent Read/Write Once (for Block), ReadWriteMany (for File) Yes Yes
v1.1.0 v1.6.0 v1.27.3+ Persistent Read/Write Once (for Block), ReadWriteMany (for File) Yes Yes

Requirements

  • Kubernetes v1.27 or above (version may work on prior Kubernetes versions)
  • A Container runtime implementing the Kubernetes Container Runtime Interface.
  • An Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance running Appliance Kit Version 8.8 or above. This plugin may work with previous versions but it is not tested with them. It is possible to use this driver with the Oracle ZFS Storage Marketplace Image on OCI
  • Access to both a management path and a data path for the target Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance (or simulator). The management and data path can be the same address.
  • A suitable container image build environment (podman or docker are accounted for in the makefile)

Unsupported Functionality

Oracle ZFS Storage Constainer Storage Interface (CSI) driver does not support the following functionality:

  • Volume Cloning

Building

Use and enhance the Makefile in the root directory and release-tools/build.make.

Build the driver:

make build

Depending on the golang installation, there may be dependencies identified by the build, install these and retry the build.

The parent image for the container is container-registry.oracle.com/os/oraclelinux:7-slim, refer to container-registry.oracle.com for more information. The parent image can also be obtained from ghcr.io/oracle/oraclelinux and docker.io/library/oraclelinux.

The container build can use the "CONTAINER_PROXY" environment variable if the build is being done from behind a firewall:

export DOCKER_PROXY=<proxy>
make container

Tag and push the resulting container image to a container registry available to the Kubernetes cluster where it will be deployed or use the 'make push' option.

The push target depends on the branch or tag name:

  • the branch must be prefixed with 'zfssa-' and can be pushed once
  • a branch with a suffix of '-canary' will be a canary image and can be pushed repeatedly

Specify the REPOSITORY_NAME on the make command (login prior to pushing):

make push REGISTRY_NAME=<your registry base>

Installation

See INSTALLATION for details.

Testing

For information about testing the driver, see TEST.

Examples

Example usage of this driver can be found in the ./examples directory.

The examples below use the image container-registry.oracle.com/os/oraclelinux:7-slim when they create a container where a persistent volume(s) is attached and mounted.

This set uses dynamic volume creation.

  • NFS - illustrates NFS volume usage from a simple container.
  • Block - illustrates block volume usage from a simple container.
  • NFS multi deployment - illustrates the use of Helm to build several volumes and optionally build a pod to consume them.

This next set uses existing shares on the target appliance:

  • Existing NFS - illustrates NFS volume usage from a simple container of an existing NFS filesystem share.
  • Existing Block - illustrates block volume usage from a simple container of an existing iSCSI LUN.

This set exercises dynamic volume creation followed by expanding the volume capacity.

This set exercises dynamic volume creation (restoring from a volume snapshot) followed by creating a snapshot of the volume.
