Google Compute Engine persistent disk Container Storage Interface (CSI) Driver
The Compute Engine persistent disk Container Storage Interface (CSI) Driver is a CSI compliant driver that you can use to manage the lifecycle of your Google Compute Engine persistent disks.
Before you can deploy storage templates to clusters in your location, make sure you set up Satellite Config by selecting the Enable cluster admin access for Satellite Config option in the console or including the --enable-config-admin
option when you create your cluster.
You cannot scope Satellite storage service to resource groups. However, if you are scoping other resources such as location and cluster to resource groups, you need to add Satellite reader and link administrator role for all resources in the account.
Prerequisites
Creating and assigning a configuration in the console
-
Review the parameter reference.
-
From the Locations console, select the location where you want to create a storage configuration.
-
Select Storage > Create storage configuration
-
Enter a name for your configuration.
-

-
Select the Version and click Next
-
If the Storage type that you selected accepts custom parameters, enter them on the Parameters tab.
-
If the Storage type that you selected requires secrets, enter them on the Secrets tab.
-
On the Storage classes tab, review the storage classes that are deployed by the configuration or create a custom storage class.
-

Create a PVC that references a GCP storage class that you created earlier.
apiVersion: v1 kind: PersistentVolumeClaim metadata: name: pvc-gce spec: accessModes: - ReadWriteOnce resources: requests: storage: 10Gi storageClassName: sat-gce-block-silver
-
Create the PVC in your cluster.
oc apply -f pvc-gce.yaml
-
Create a YAML configuration file for a pod that mounts the PVC that you created.
apiVersion: apps/v1 kind: StatefulSet metadata: name: statefulset-gce labels: app: nginx spec: podManagementPolicy: Parallel # default is OrderedReady serviceName: statefulset-gce replicas: 1 template: metadata: labels: app: nginx spec: nodeSelector: "kubernetes.io/os": linux containers: - name: statefulset-gce image: mcr.microsoft.com/oss/nginx/nginx:1.19.5 command: - "/bin/bash" - "-c" - set -euo pipefail; while true; do echo $(date) >> /mnt/gce/outfile; sleep 1; done volumeMounts: - name: persistent-storage mountPath: /mnt/gce updateStrategy: type: RollingUpdate selector: matchLabels: app: nginx volumeClaimTemplates: - metadata: name: persistent-storage annotations: volume.beta.kubernetes.io/storage-class: sat-gce-block-silver spec: accessModes: ["ReadWriteOnce"] resources: requests: storage: 10Gi
-
Create the pod in your cluster.
oc apply -f statefulset-gce.yaml
-
Verify that the pod is deployed. Note that it might take a few minutes for your app to get into a
Running
state.oc get pods
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE statefulset-gce 1/1 Running 0 2m58s
-
Verify that the app can write to your persistent disk by logging in to your pod.
oc exec web-server -it bash
-
View the contents of the
outfile
file to confirm that your app can write data to your persistent storage.cat /mnt/gce/outfile
Example output

Exit the pod.
exit
Removing Compute Engine storage from your apps
If you no longer need your Google Compute Engine configuration, you can remove your apps, PVCs, PVs, and assignment from your clusters.
-
List your PVCs and note the name of the PVC that you want to remove.
oc get pvc
-
Remove any pods that mount the PVC. List all the pods that currently mount the PVC that you want to delete. If no pods are returned, you do not have any pods that currently use your PVC.
oc get pods --all-namespaces -o=jsonpath='{range .items[*]}{"\n"}{.metadata.name}{":\t"}{range .spec.volumes[*]}{.persistentVolumeClaim.claimName}{" "}{end}{end}' | grep "<pvc_name>"
Example output
app sat-gce-block-platinum
-
Remove the pod that uses the PVC. If the pod is part of a deployment or statefulset, remove the deployment or statefulset.
oc delete pod <pod_name>
oc delete deployment <deployment_name>
oc delete statefulset <statefulset_name>
-
Verify that the pod, deployment, or statefulset is removed.
oc get pods
oc get deployments
oc get statefulset
-
Delete the PVC.
oc delete pvc <pvc_name>
-
Verify that your PV is automatically removed.
oc get pv
Removing the Compute Engine storage configuration from your cluster
If you no longer plan on using your persistent disk storage in your cluster, you can use the CLI unassign your cluster from the storage configuration.
Note that if you remove the storage configuration, the driver is then uninstalled from all assigned clusters. Your PVCs, PVs, and data are not removed. However, you might not be able to access your data until you re-install the driver in your cluster again.
