OpenShift Data Foundation add-on parameter reference
Parameter Description Default
name Specify a name for your resource that uses only lowercase letters, numbers, - or . N/A
odfDeploy Specify true to deploy the ODF resources such as storage classes, PVCs, and PVs when you enable the add-on. When set to false, only the add-on is deployed and you must then configure your ODF resources later via YAML configuration files. false
osdStorageClassName
  • Classic: Specify localblock.
  • VPC Specify the name of the storage class that you want to use for your OSD devices. For multizone clusters, specify a metro storage class. For single zone clusters, Specify the name of the tiered storage class that you want to use. Example: ibmc-vpc-block-10iops-tier.
 N/A
osdSize Specify a size for your storage devices. Example: 512Gi. The total storage capacity of your ODF cluster is equivalent to the osdSize multiplied by the numOfOsd. 512Gi
numOfOsd Specify the number of object storage daemons (OSDs) that you want to create. ODF creates three times the specified number. For example, if you Specify 1, ODF creates 3 OSDs. 1
autoDiscoverDevices Classic Specify true to automatically discover the available disks on your worker nodes. true
osdDevicePaths Classic Specify a comma separated list of the device paths for the devices that you want to use for the OSD devices. The devices that you specify are used as your application storage in your configuration. Each device must have at least 100GiB of space and must be unformatted and unmounted. The parameter format is /dev/disk/by-id/<device-id>. Example device path value for a partitioned device: /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-0000000a00a00a00000a0aa000a00a0a0-part2. If you specify more than one device path, be sure there are no spaces between each path. For example: /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-1111111a11a11a11111a1aa111a11a1a1-part2,/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-0000000a00a00a00000a0aa000a00a0a0-part2. N/A
billingType Specify a billingType of either essentials or advanced for your deployment. For more information about billing type, see Feature support by billing type. advanced
ocsUpgrade Specify true to upgrade the major version of your ODF deployment. false
workerPool 4.14 and later Specify one of workerPool or workerNodes. Specify either the name or the ID of a worker pool to use for ODF. Don't specify this option if you want to use all the worker nodes in your cluster. To retrieve your worker node name, run the ibmcloud oc worker ls -C CLUSTER command. N/A
workerNodes Specify one of workerPool or workerNodes. Specify the names of the worker nodes that you want to use for your ODF deployment. Don't specify this option if you want to use all the worker nodes in your cluster. To retrieve your worker node name, run the oc get nodes command. N/A
clusterEncryption Optional: Specify true to enable encryption. false
hpcsServiceName Optional: Specify the name of your Hyper Protect Crypto Services or Key Protect instance. For example: Hyper-Protect-Crypto-Services-eugb. false
hpcsInstanceId Optional: Specify your Hyper Protect Crypto Services or Key Protect instance ID. For example: d11a1a43-aa0a-40a3-aaa9-5aaa63147aaa. N/A
hpcsSecretName Optional: Specify the name of the secret that you created by using your Hyper Protect Crypto Services or Key Protect credentials. For example: ibm-hpcs-secret. N/A
hpcsBaseUrl Optional: Specify the public or private endpoint of your Hyper Protect Crypto Services or Key Protect instance. For example: https://api.eu-gb.hs-crypto.cloud.ibm.com:8389. N/A
hpcsTokenUrl Optional: Specify https://iam.cloud.ibm.com/identity/token. N/A
encryptionInTransit 4.13 and later Specify true to enable in-transit encryption. Enabling in-transit encryption does not affect the existing mapped or mounted volumes. After a volume is mapped/mounted, it retains the encryption settings that were used when it was initially mounted. To change the encryption settings for existing volumes, they must be remounted again one-by-one. false
ignoreNoobaa [4.13 and later] Specify true if you do not want to deploy MultiCloud Object Gateway. true
disableNoobaaLB 4.14 and later Specify true to disable to NooBaa public load balancer. false
taintNodes 4.14 and later Specify true to taint the selected worker nodes so that only OpenShift Data Foundation pods can run on those nodes. Use this option only if you limit ODF to a subset of nodes in your cluster. false
addSingleReplicaPool 4.14 and later Specify true to create a single replica pool without data replication, increasing the risk of data loss, data corruption, and potential system instability. false
prepareForDisasterRecovery 4.14 and later Specify true to set up the storage system for disaster recovery service with the essential configurations in place. This allows seamless implementation of disaster recovery strategies for your workloads. false
useCephRBDAsDefaultStorageClass 4.15 and later Set the Ceph RADOS block device (RBD) storage class as the default storage class in the cluster during the deployment of OpenShift Data Foundation. Make sure you remove the existing default storage class before setting this parameter to true. false
enableNFS 4.15 and later Enabling this feature allows you to export Network File System (NFS) data that can then be accessed internally or externally from the OpenShift cluster. false
resourceProfile 4.15 and later Specify a resource profile based on the availability of resources during deployment. Select either lean which requires 24 CPUs and 72GiB memory, balanced which requires 30 CPUs and 72 GiB memory, or performance which requires 45 CPUs and 96 GiB memory. balanced
