Install by Helm Charts

Local Storage is a component of HwameiStor and must work with Local Disk Manager module. It's suggested to install by helm-charts.

This functionality is in alpha and is subject to change. The code is provided as-is with no warranties. Alpha features are not subject to the support SLA of official GA features.

To install it by helm charts, perform the following procedure.

Step 1: Install HwameiStor​

Helm is required to use charts for installation. Refer to Helm's Documentation to get started.

$ git clone https://github.com/hwameistor/helm-charts.git 
$ cd helm-charts/charts 
$ helm install hwameistor -n hwameistor --create-namespace --generate-name

Or

$ helm repo add hwameistor http://hwameistor.io/helm-charts 
$ helm install hwameistor/hwameistor -n hwameistor --create-namespace --generate-name

Run helm search repo hwameistor to check the charts.

Step 2: Enable HwameiStor on a node​

Once the Helm charts are installed, you can enable HwameiStor on a specific node.

$ kubectl label node <node-name> "lvm.hwameistor.io/enable=true"

Step 3: Claim disks by types on a node​

Then claim disks for your local-storage by applying LocalDiskClaim CR.

cat > ./local-disk-claim.yaml <<- EOF
apiVersion: hwameistor.io/v1alpha1
kind: LocalDiskClaim
metadata:
  name: <anyname>
  namespace: hwameistor
spec:
  nodeName: <node-name>
  description:
    diskType: <HDD or SSD or NVMe>
EOF

Congratulations! HwameiStor is successfully deployed on your cluster now.
