Procedure

1. Extract the Storage Plug-in for Containers package and move to the directory yaml/operator.

2. Create the namespace for the Operator:

   # kubectl create -f hspc-operator-namespace.yaml

3. Create the Secret for Red Hat registry (see https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/pull-image-private-registry/#create-a-secret-by-providing-credentials-on-the-command-line). For example:

   # kubectl create secret docker-registry regcred-redhat-com \
     --namespace=hspc-operator-system \
     --docker-server=registry.connect.redhat.com \
     --docker-username=<user> \
     --docker-password=<password>
   

4. Create the Operator and confirm the Operator is running:

   # kubectl patch sa default \
     -n hspc-operator-system \
     -p '{"imagePullSecrets": [{"name": "regcred-redhat-com" }]}'
   
   # kubectl create -f hspc-operator.yaml
   
   # kubectl get deployment -n hspc-operator-system
   NAME                              READY  UP-TO-DATE  AVAILABLE   AGE 
   hspc-operator-controller-manager   1/1     1            1           14s
   

5. Create two Secrets for Red Hat registry. For example:

   # SPC_NAMESPACE=<any namespace>
   
   # kubectl create secret docker-registry regcred-redhat-com \
   --namespace=${SPC_NAMESPACE} \
   --docker-server=registry.connect.redhat.com \
   --docker-username=<user> \
   --docker-password=<password>
   
   # kubectl create secret docker-registry regcred-redhat-io \
   --namespace=${SPC_NAMESPACE} \
   --docker-server=registry.redhat.io \
   --docker-username=<user> \
   --docker-password=<password>
   

6. Add the Secrets created in step 5 as imagePullSecrets to hspc_v1_hspc.yaml and modify the namespace if you specified other than kube-system for SPC_NAMESPACE:

   apiVersion: csi.hitachi.com/v1
   kind: HSPC
   metadata:
     name: hspc
     namespace: <SPC_NAMESPACE>
   spec:
     imagePullSecrets:
     - regcred-redhat-com
     - regcred-redhat-io
   

   If you want to make an advanced configuration, refer to Configuration of Storage Plug-in for Containers instance.

7. Deploy Storage Plug-in for Containers and confirm the status READY is true using the following command:

   # kubectl create -f hspc_v1_hspc.yaml
   
   # kubectl get hspc -n ${SPC_NAMESPACE}
   NAME READY AGE
   hspc true 30s
