2. Deploy storage cluster ROOK with CEPH in Kubernetes

Specification : Kubernetes, ROOK, CEPH

Lab Topology

You can check installation kubernetes cluster in previous documentation, https://assyafii.com/docs/install-kubernetes-cluster-multi-master-ha/

Storages nodes disks

We use 3 disks extended (vdb, vdc, vdd) in each of storage-nodes, total 6 disks for rook cluster.

Detail disks

Master node

Clone ROOK Project

cd ~
git clone --single-branch --branch release-1.7 https://github.com/rook/rook.git

Deploy the Rook Operator

cd rook/cluster/examples/kubernetes/ceph
kubectl create -f crds.yaml
kubectl create -f common.yaml
kubectl create -f operator.yaml

Make sure all Rook components already UP

Verify the rook-ceph-operator is in the Running

Create a Ceph Storage Cluster

Set default namespace to rook-ceph, you can set to default namespace agaian after installation.

kubectl config set-context --current --namespace rook-ceph

Important : Expicitly define the nodes and raw disks devices to be used.

For any further customizations, check in ROOK Ceph Cluster CRD documentation.

sudo nano cluster.yaml

Deploy Rook ceph cluster

kubectl create -f cluster.yaml

Need some minutes to deploy it, make sure all completed

kubectl get -n rook-ceph jobs.batch
kubectl -n rook-ceph get cephcluster

Deploy Rook Ceph toolbox

The Rook Ceph toolbox is a container with common tools used for rook debugging and testing.

cd ~
cd rook/cluster/examples/kubernetes/ceph
kubectl  apply  -f toolbox.yaml
kubectl -n rook-ceph exec -it deploy/rook-ceph-tools -- bash

My cluster status CEPH Warning, because degraded data, but no problem.

All OSD UP

Create pool shared filesystem in CEPH (cephfs)

cd ~
cd rook/cluster/examples/kubernetes/ceph/
sudo nano filesystem.yaml

Write your filesystem metadata name.

Verify if metadata and data pools are created.

Create storage class for cephfs

sudo nano csi/cephfs/storageclass.yaml
kubectl create -f csi/cephfs/storageclass.yaml
kubectl get sc

change fsName & pool name

Verify storage class created

Last step, Testing create PVC & POD

kubectl create  -f  csi/cephfs/pvc.yaml
kubectl get pvc
kubectl create -f csi/cephfs/pod.yaml
kubectl get pod

Example manifest file PVC

apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
metadata:
  name: cephfs-pvc
spec:
  accessModes:
    - ReadWriteOnce
  resources:
    requests:
      storage: 1Gi
  storageClassName: rook-cephfs

Example manifest file POD

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: csicephfs-demo-pod
spec:
  containers:
    - name: web-server
      image: nginx
      volumeMounts:
        - name: mypvc
          mountPath: /var/lib/www/html
  volumes:
    - name: mypvc
      persistentVolumeClaim:
        claimName: cephfs-pvc
        readOnly: false

Verify POD & PVC Already created

Persistent Volume

POD with PVC
