Create CephFS snapshot and Clone Volume

Prerequisite

  • For snapshot functionality to be supported for your Kubernetes cluster, the Kubernetes version running in your cluster should be >= v1.17. We also need the snapshot controller deployed in your Kubernetes cluster along with csi-snapshotter sidecar container. Refer external-snapshotter for more information on these sidecar controllers. There should be a volumesnapshotclass object present in the cluster for snapshot request to be satisified.

NOTE: At present, there is a limit of 400 snapshots per cephFS filesystem. Also PVC cannot be deleted if it's having snapshots. Make sure all the snapshots on the PVC are deleted before you delete the PVC.

Snapshot

Create snapshotclass

kubectl create -f ../examples/cephfs/snapshotclass.yaml

Create snapshot

The snapshot is created on/for an existing PVC. You should have a PVC in bound state before creating snapshot from it. Please refer pvc creation doc for more information on how to create a PVC.

  • Verify if PVC is in Bound state
$ kubectl get pvc
NAME              STATUS        VOLUME                                     CAPACITY   ACCESS MODES   STORAGECLASS   AGE

  • Create snapshot of the bound PVC
$ kubectl create -f ../examples/cephfs/snapshot.yaml
volumesnapshot.snapshot.storage.k8s.io/cephfs-pvc-snapshot created
  • Get details about the snapshot
$ kubectl get volumesnapshot

Restore snapshot to a new PVC


$ kubectl create -f ../examples/cephfs/pvc-restore.yaml
$ kubectl get pvc
