CSI NVMf driver

Overview

This is a repository for NVMe-oF CSI Driver. Currently it implements bare minimum of th CSI spec.

Requirements

The CSI NVMf driver requires initiator and target kernel versions to be Linux kernel 5.0 or newer. Before using this csi driver, you should create a NVMf remote disk on the target side and record traddr/trport/trtype/nqn/deviceuuid.

Modprobe Nvmf mod on K8sNode

# when use TCP as transport
$ modprobe nvme-tcp

# when use RDMA as transport
$ modprobe nvme-rdma

Test NVMf driver using csc

Get csc tool from https://github.com/rexray/gocsi/tree/master/csc

$ go get github.com/rexray/gocsi/csc

1. Complile NVMf driver

$ make

2.1 Start NVMf driver

$ ./output/nvmfplugin --endpoint tcp://127.0.0.1:10000 --nodeid CSINode

2.2 Prepare nvmf kernel target

Follow guide to set up kernel target to deploy kernel nvmf storage service on localhost.

3.1 Get plugin info

$ csc identity plugin-info --endpoint tcp://127.0.0.1:10000
"csi.nvmf.com" "v1.0.0"

3.2 NodePublish a volume

The information here is what you used in step 2.2

export TargetTrAddr="NVMf Target Server IP (Ex: 192.168.122.18)"
export TargetTrPort="NVMf Target Server Ip Port (Ex: 49153)"
export TargetTrType="NVMf Target Type (Ex: tcp | rdma)"
export DeviceUUID="NVMf Target Device UUID (Ex: 58668891-c3e4-45d0-b90e-824525c16080)"
export NQN="NVMf Target NQN"
csc node publish --endpoint tcp://127.0.0.1:10000 --target-path /mnt/nvmf --vol-context targetTrAddr=$TargetTrAddr \
                   --vol-context targetTrPort=$TargetTrPort --vol-context targetTrType=$TargetTrType \
                   --vol-context deviceUUID=$DeviceUUID --vol-context nqn=$NQN nvmftestvol
nvmftestvol

You can find a new disk on /mnt/nvmf

3.3 NodeUnpublish a volume

$ csc node unpublish --endpoint tcp://127.0.0.1:10000 --target-path /mnt/nvmf nvmftestvol
nvmftestvol

Test NVMf driver in kubernetes cluster

TODO: support dynamic provision.

1. Docker Build image

$ make container

2.1 Load Driver

$ kubectl create -f deploy/kubernetes/

2.2 Unload Driver

$ kubectl delete -f deploy/kubenetes/

3.1 Create Storage Class(Dynamic Provisioning)

NotSupport Now

• Create

$ kubectl create -f examples/kubernetes/example/storageclass.yaml

• Check

$ kubectl get sc

3.2 Create PV and PVC(Static Provisioning)

Supported

• Create Pv

$ kubectl create -f examples/kubernetes/example/pv.yaml

• Check

$ kubectl get pv

• Create Pvc

$ kubectl create -f exameples/kubernetes/example/pvc.yaml

• Check

$ kubectl get pvc

4. Create Nginx Container

• Create Deployment

$ kubectl create -f examples/kubernetes/example/nginx.yaml

• Check

$ kubectl exec -it nginx-451df123421 /bin/bash
$ lsblk
