Prasanna Kumar Kalever 2945f7b669 cleanup: stick to standards when using dollar-sign in md
MD014 - Dollar signs used before commands without showing output
The dollar signs are unnecessary, it is easier to copy and paste and
less noisy if the dollar signs are omitted. Especially when the
command doesn't list the output, but if the command follows output
we can use `$ ` (dollar+space) mainly to differentiate between
command and its ouput.

scenario 1: when command doesn't follow output
```console
cd ~/work
```

scenario 2: when command follow output (use dollar+space)
```console
$ ls ~/work
file1 file2 dir1 dir2 ...
```

This document outlines how to create static PV and static PVC from
existing rbd image/cephFS volume.
**warning** static PVC can be created, deleted, mounted and unmounted but
currently ceph-csi doesn't support other operations like snapshot,clone,
resize, etc for static PVC
## RBD static PVC
RBD images created manually can be mounted and unmounted to an app, below step
shows how to create a rbd image, static PV, static PVC
### Create RBD image
If you already have a rbd image created and contains some data which you want
to access by the application pod you can skip this step.
Lets create a new rbd image in ceph cluster which we are going to use for
static PVC
```console
rbd create static-image --size=1024 --pool=replicapool
```
### Create RBD static PV
To create the rbd PV you need to know the `rbd image name`,`clusterID` and
`pool` name in which the rbd image is created
```yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolume
metadata:
name: fs-static-pv
spec:
accessModes:
- ReadWriteOnce
capacity:
storage: 1Gi
csi:
driver: rbd.csi.ceph.com
fsType: ext4
nodeStageSecretRef:
# node stage secret name
name: csi-rbd-secret
# node stage secret namespace where above secret is created
namespace: default
volumeAttributes:
# Required options from storageclass parameters need to be added in volumeAttributes
"clusterID": "ba68226a-672f-4ba5-97bc-22840318b2ec"
"pool": "replicapool"
"staticVolume": "true"
#mounter: rbd-nbd
# volumeHandle should be same as rbd image name
volumeHandle: static-image
persistentVolumeReclaimPolicy: Retain
# The volumeMode can be either `Filesystem` or `Block` if you are creating Filesystem PVC it should be `Filesystem`, if you are creating Block PV you need to change it to `Block`
volumeMode: Filesystem
```
### RBD Volume Attributes in PV
Below table explains the list of volume attributes can be set when creating a
static RBD PV
| Attributes | Description | Required |
| :----------: | :----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------: | :------: |
| clusterID | The clusterID is used by the CSI plugin to uniquely identify and use a Ceph cluster (this is the key in configmap created duing ceph-csi deployment) | Yes |
| pool | The pool name in which rbd image is created | Yes |
| staticVolume | Value must be set to `true` to mount and unmount static rbd PVC | yes |
| mounter | If set to `rbd-nbd`, use `rbd-nbd` on nodes that have `rbd-nbd` and `nbd` kernel modules to map rbd images | No |
**Note** ceph-csi does not supports rbd image deletion for static PV.
`persistentVolumeReclaimPolicy` in PV spec must be set to `Retain` to avoid PV
delete attempt in csi-provisioner.
```bash
$ kubectl create -f fs-static-pv.yaml
persistentvolume/fs-static-pv created
```
### Create RBD static PVC
To create the rbd PVC you need to know the PV name which is created above
```yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
metadata:
name: fs-static-pvc
namespace: default
spec:
accessModes:
# ReadWriteMany is only supported for Block PVC
- ReadWriteOnce
resources:
requests:
storage: 1Gi
# The volumeMode can be either `Filesystem` or `Block` if you are creating Filesystem PVC it should be `Filesystem`, if you are creating Block PV you need to change it to `Block`
volumeMode: Filesystem
# volumeName should be same as PV name
volumeName: fs-static-pv
```
```bash
$ kubectl create -f fs-static-pvc.yaml
persistentvolumeclaim/fs-static-pvc created
```
**Note** deleting PV and PVC doesnot deleted the backend rbd image, user need to
manually delete the rbd image if required
## CephFS static PVC
CephFS subvolume created manually can be mounted and unmounted to an app,
below steps show how to create a CephFS subvolume, static PV and static PVC.
### Create CephFS subvolume
If you already have a CephFS subvolume created and contains some data
which you want to access by the application pod you can skip this step.
Lets create a new CephFS subvolume of size 1 GiB in ceph cluster which
we are going to use for static PVC, before that we need to create
the subvolumegroup. **myfs** is the filesystem name(volume name) inside
which subvolume should be created.
```console
ceph fs subvolumegroup create myfs testGroup
```
```console
ceph fs subvolume create myfs testSubVolume testGroup --size=1073741824
```
**Note:** volume here refers to the filesystem.
### Create CephFS static PV
To create the CephFS PV you need to know the `volume rootpath`, and `clusterID`,
here is the command to get the root path in ceph cluster
```bash
$ ceph fs subvolume getpath myfs testSubVolume testGroup
/volumes/testGroup/testSubVolume
```
```yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolume
metadata:
name: cephfs-static-pv
spec:
accessModes:
- ReadWriteMany
capacity:
storage: 1Gi
csi:
driver: cephfs.csi.ceph.com
nodeStageSecretRef:
# node stage secret name
name: csi-cephfs-secret
# node stage secret namespace where above secret is created
namespace: default
volumeAttributes:
# Required options from storageclass parameters need to be added in volumeAttributes
"clusterID": "ba68226a-672f-4ba5-97bc-22840318b2ec"
"fsName": "myfs"
"staticVolume": "true"
"rootPath": /volumes/testGroup/testSubVolume
# volumeHandle can be anything, need not to be same
# as PV name or volume name. keeping same for brevity
volumeHandle: cephfs-static-pv
persistentVolumeReclaimPolicy: Retain
volumeMode: Filesystem
```
### Node stage secret ref in CephFS PV
For static CephFS PV to work, userID and userKey needs to be specified in the
secret. Static PV will not work with adminID and adminKey.
Format for the secret should be same as detailed [here](https://github.com/ceph/ceph-csi/blob/3e656769b71a3c43d95f6875ed4934c82a8046e7/examples/cephfs/secret.yaml#L7-L10).
### CephFS volume attributes in PV
Below table explains the list of volume attributes can be set when creating a
static CephFS PV
| Attributes | Description | Required |
| :----------: | :----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------: | :------: |
| clusterID | The clusterID is used by the CSI plugin to uniquely identify and use a Ceph cluster (this is the key in configmap created duing ceph-csi deployment) | Yes |
| fsName | CephFS filesystem name into which the subvolume should be created/present | Yes |
| staticVolume | Value must be set to `true` to mount and unmount static rbd PVC | Yes |
| rootPath | Actual path of the subvolume in ceph cluster, can be retrieved by issuing getpath command as described above | Yes |
**Note** ceph-csi does not supports CephFS subvolume deletion for static PV.
`persistentVolumeReclaimPolicy` in PV spec must be set to `Retain` to avoid PV
delete attempt in csi-provisioner.
```bash
$ kubectl create -f cephfs-static-pv.yaml
persistentvolume/cephfs-static-pv created
```
### Create CephFS static PVC
To create the CephFS PVC you need to know the PV name which is created above
```yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
metadata:
name: cephfs-static-pvc
namespace: default
spec:
accessModes:
- ReadWriteMany
resources:
requests:
storage: 1Gi
volumeMode: Filesystem
# volumeName should be same as PV name
volumeName: cephfs-static-pv
```
```bash
$ kubectl create -f cephfs-static-pvc.yaml
persistentvolumeclaim/cephfs-static-pvc created
```
**Note** deleting PV and PVC does not delete the backend CephFS subvolume,
user needs to manually delete the CephFS subvolume if required.
