CSI RBD Plugin
The RBD CSI plugin is able to provision new RBD images and attach and mount those to worlkoads.
Building
CSI RBD plugin can be compiled in a form of a binary file or in a form of a Docker image. When compiled as a binary file, the result is stored in _output/ directory with the name rbdplugin. When compiled as an image, it's stored in the local Docker image store.
Building binary:
$ make rbdplugin
Building Docker image:
$ make image-rbdplugin
Configuration
Available command line arguments:
| Option | Default value | Description |
|---|---|---|
--endpoint |
unix://tmp/csi.sock |
CSI endpoint, must be a UNIX socket |
--drivername |
csi-cephfsplugin |
name of the driver (Kubernetes: provisioner field in StorageClass must correspond to this value) |
--nodeid |
empty | This node's ID |
Available environmental variables:
HOST_ROOTFS: rbdplugin searches /proc directory under the directory set by HOST_ROOTFS.
Available volume parameters:
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
monitors |
yes | Comma separated list of Ceph monitors (e.g. 192.168.100.1:6789,192.168.100.2:6789,192.168.100.3:6789) |
pool |
yes | Ceph pool into which the RBD image shall be created |
imageFormat |
no | RBD image format. Defaults to 2. See man pages |
imageFeatures |
no | RBD image features. Available for imageFormat=2. CSI RBD currently supports only layering feature. See man pages |
csiProvisionerSecretName, csiNodePublishSecretName |
for Kubernetes | name of the Kubernetes Secret object containing Ceph client credentials. Both parameters should have the same value |
csiProvisionerSecretNamespace, csiNodePublishSecretNamespace |
for Kubernetes | namespaces of the above Secret objects |
mounter |
no | if set to rbd-nbd, use rbd-nbd on nodes that have rbd-nbd and nbd kernel modules to map rbd images |
Required secrets:
Admin credentials are required for provisioning new RBD images
ADMIN_NAME: ADMIN_PASSWORD - note that the key of the key-value pair is the name of the client with admin privileges, and the value is its password
Also note that CSI RBD expects admin keyring and Ceph config file in /etc/ceph.
Deployment with Kubernetes
Requires Kubernetes 1.11
Your Kubernetes cluster must allow privileged pods (i.e. --allow-privileged flag must be set to true for both the API server and the kubelet). Moreover, as stated in the mount propagation docs, the Docker daemon of the cluster nodes must allow shared mounts.
YAML manifests are located in deploy/rbd/kubernetes.
Deploy RBACs for sidecar containers and node plugins:
$ kubectl create -f csi-attacher-rbac.yaml
$ kubectl create -f csi-provisioner-rbac.yaml
$ kubectl create -f csi-nodeplugin-rbac.yaml
Those manifests deploy service accounts, cluster roles and cluster role bindings. These are shared for both RBD and CephFS CSI plugins, as they require the same permissions.
Deploy CSI sidecar containers:
$ kubectl create -f csi-rbdplugin-attacher.yaml
$ kubectl create -f csi-rbdplugin-provisioner.yaml
Deploys stateful sets for external-attacher and external-provisioner sidecar containers for CSI RBD.
Deploy RBD CSI driver:
$ kubectl create -f csi-rbdplugin.yaml
Deploys a daemon set with two containers: CSI driver-registrar and the CSI RBD driver.
Verifying the deployment in Kubernetes
After successfuly completing the steps above, you should see output similar to this:
$ kubectl get all
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
pod/csi-rbdplugin-attacher-0 1/1 Running 0 23s
pod/csi-rbdplugin-fptqr 2/2 Running 0 21s
pod/csi-rbdplugin-provisioner-0 1/1 Running 0 22s
NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE
service/csi-rbdplugin-attacher ClusterIP 10.109.15.54 <none> 12345/TCP 26s
service/csi-rbdplugin-provisioner ClusterIP 10.104.2.130 <none> 12345/TCP 23s
...
You can try deploying a demo pod from examples/rbd to test the deployment further.
