Postinstallation storage configuration
After installing OKD, you can further expand and customize your cluster to your requirements, including storage configuration.
By default, containers operate by using the ephemeral storage or transient local storage. The ephemeral storage has a lifetime limitation. To store the data for a long time, you must configure persistent storage. You can configure storage by using one of the following methods:
- Dynamic provisioning
-
You can dynamically provision storage on-demand by defining and creating storage classes that control different levels of storage, including storage access.
- Static provisioning
-
You can use Kubernetes persistent volumes to make existing storage available to a cluster. Static provisioning can support various device configurations and mount options.
Dynamic provisioning
Dynamic Provisioning allows you to create storage volumes on-demand, eliminating the need for cluster administrators to pre-provision storage. See Dynamic provisioning.
Recommended configurable storage technology
To select the optimal storage solution for your OKD cluster application, review the recommended and configurable storage technologies. By reviewing this summary, you can identify the supported options that best meet your specific workload requirements.

where:
ROX-
Specifies
ReadOnlyManyaccess mode. ROX.Yes-
Specifies that this access mode
RWX-
Specifies
ReadWriteManyaccess mode. Metrics-
Specifies Prometheus as the underlying technology used for metrics.
Metrics.Configurable-
For metrics, using file storage with the
ReadWriteMany(RWX) access mode is unreliable. If you use file storage, do not configure the RWX access mode on any persistent volume claims (PVCs) that are configured for use with metrics. Elasticsearch Logging.Configurable-
For logging, review the recommended storage solution in Configuring persistent storage for the log store section. Using NFS storage as a persistent volume or through NAS, such as Gluster, can corrupt the data. Therefore, NFS is not supported for Elasticsearch storage and LokiStack log store in OKD Logging. You must use one persistent volume type per log store.
Apps.Not configurable-
Specifies that object storage is not consumed through PVs or PVCs of OKD. Apps must integrate with the object storage REST API.

A scaled registry is an OpenShift image registry where two or more pod replicas are running. |
Deploy Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation
Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation is a provider of agnostic persistent storage for OKD supporting file, block, and object storage, either in-house or in hybrid clouds. As a Red Hat storage solution, Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation is completely integrated with OKD for deployment, management, and monitoring. For more information, see the Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation documentation.
|
OpenShift Data Foundation on top of Red Hat Hyperconverged Infrastructure (RHHI) for Virtualization, which uses hyperconverged nodes that host virtual machines installed with OKD, is not a supported configuration. For more information about supported platforms, see the Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation Supportability and Interoperability Guide. |
