Updating storage assignments in the console

You can use the Satellite console to apply the latest patch updates to your assignments.

1. From the Locations page in the Satellite console, select your location.

2. Click the Storage tab to view your configurations.

3. Click the configuration you want to update.

4. Click information Information (i) icon to apply the latest revision or patch.

5. Optional: Enable automatic patch updates for your storage assignment. Enabling automatic patch updates ensures that your assignment always has the latest security fixes.

If you enable automatic patch updates, you must still apply major updates manually.

Manually upgrading assignments in the CLI

Upgrade an assignment to use the latest storage template revision.

1. List your Satellite storage assignments, make a note of the Satellite assignment you want to upgrade.

   ibmcloud sat storage assignment ls
   

2. List the Satellite storage templates to see the latest available versions.

   ibmcloud sat storage template ls
   

3. Upgrade the Satellite assignment.

   Example command to upgrade an assignment.

   ibmcloud sat storage assignment upgrade --assignment ASSIGNMENT
   

Enabling automatic patch updates for configurations and assignments in the CLI

You can use the sat storage assignment autopatch enable CLI to enable automatic patch updates for your assignments. Enabling automatic patch updates applies the latest storage template revisions (patches) automatically. You must still apply major updates manually.

1. List your Satellite storage configurations. Make a note of the configuration ID.

   ibmcloud sat storage assignment ls
   

2. Run one of the following example commands to enable automatic patch updates for your configuration and its associated assignments. Enter the configuration ID that you retrieved in the previous step.

   Example command to enable automatic patch updates for an assignment.

   ibmcloud sat storage assignment autopatch enable --config CONFIG  (--all | --assignment ASSIGNMENT-ID [--assignment ASSIGNMENT-ID])
   

   Example command to enable automatic patch updates for all storage assignments under a given configuration.

   ibmcloud sat storage assignment autopatch enable --config CONFIG --all
   

   Example command to disable automatic patch updates for all assignments under a specific configuration.

   ibmcloud sat storage assignment autopatch disable --config CONFIG --all
   

   Example command to disable automatic patch updates for an single assignment and a specific configuration.

   ibmcloud sat storage assignment autopatch disable --config CONFIG --assignment ASSIGNMENT-ID
   

   Example command to disable automatic patch updates for an multiple assignment and a specific configuration.

   ibmcloud sat storage assignment autopatch disable --config CONFIG --assignment ASSIGNMENT-ID --assignment ASSIGNMENT-ID
   

Upgrading a configuration and assignments in the API

You can use the /v2/storage/satellite/updateAssignment API to update your assignments with new clusters or cluster groups. Set updateConfigVersion to true to apply the revision update.

1. Copy the following example request and replace the variables for the cluster groups and assignments that you want to update.

   curl -X PATCH "https://containers.cloud.ibm.com/global/v2/storage/satellite/updateAssignment" -H "accept: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "{ \"groups\": [ \"CLUSTER-GROUPS\" ], \"name\": \"ASSIGNMENT-NAME\", \"updateConfigVersion\": true, \"uuid\": \"ASSIGNMENT-ID\"}"
   

2. Run the request.

3. Get the details of you assignment to verify the update.

   curl -X GET "https://containers.cloud.ibm.com/global/v2/storage/satellite/getAssignment?uuid=ASSIGNMENT-ID" -H "accept: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer TOKEN"
   

Enabling automatic patch updates for assignments in the API

You can use the /v2/storage/satellite/setAssignmentAutoupgrade API to enable automatic patch updates for your assignments. Enabling automatic patch updates applies the latest storage template revisions (patches) automatically. You must still apply major updates manually.

1. Copy the following example request and replace the variables for the cluster groups and assignments that you want to update.

   curl -X PATCH "https://containers.cloud.ibm.com/global/v2/storage/satellite/setAssignmentAutoupgrade" -H "accept: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d { "config": "string", "controller": "string", "autopatch": boolean,"assignment" : { "all": boolean, "uuid": ["string", "string", ...], } }
   

2. Run the request.

3. Get the details of you assignment to verify the upgrade.

   curl -X GET "https://containers.cloud.ibm.com/global/v2/storage/satellite/getAssignment?uuid=ASSIGNMENT-ID" -H "accept: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer TOKEN"
   

Deploying an app that uses ONTAP-NAS storage

You can use the trident-kubectl-nas driver to deploy apps that use your NetApp ONTAP-NAS storage in your clusters.

1. Create a PVC configuration file that uses one of the sat-netapp storage classes.

   apiVersion: v1
   kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
   metadata:
     name: netapp-pvc
   spec:
     accessModes:
     - ReadWriteMany
     storageClassName: sat-netapp-file-gold
     resources:
     requests:
       storage: 10Gi
   

2. Create the PVC in your cluster.

   oc apply -f pvc.yaml
   

3. Verify that the PVC is created. Make sure that the PVC is in a Bound status.

   oc get pvc
   

   Example output

   NAME         STATUS   VOLUME                                     CAPACITY   ACCESS MODES   STORAGECLASS           AGE
   netapp-pvc   Bound    pvc-acd9e5b4-0b24-4e20-ac00-69a05148c799   10Gi       RWX            sat-netapp-file-gold   39s
   

4. Create a YAML configuration file for a pod that mounts the PVC that you created. The following example creates an nginx pod that writes the current date and time to a test.txt file on your ONTAP-NAS volume mount path.

   apiVersion: v1
   kind: Pod
   metadata:
       name: app
   spec:
       containers:
       - name: app
       image: nginx
       command: ["/bin/sh"]
       args: ["-c", "while true; do echo $(date -u) >> /test/test.txt; sleep 5; done"]
       volumeMounts:
       - name: persistent-storage
           mountPath: /test
       volumes:
       - name: persistent-storage
       persistentVolumeClaim:
           claimName: netapp-pvc
   

5. Create the pod in your cluster.

   oc apply -f pod.yaml
   

6. 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
   

   Example output

   NAME                                READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
   app   1/1     Running   0          50s
   

7. Verify that the app can write to your ONTAP-NAS instance.

   1. Log in to your pod.

      oc exec app -it bash
      

   2. Display the contents of the test.txt file to confirm that your app can write data to your persistent storage.

      cat /test/test.txt
      

      Example output

      Wed May 19 13:28:31 UTC 2021
      Wed May 19 13:28:37 UTC 2021
      Wed May 19 13:28:42 UTC 2021
      Wed May 19 13:28:47 UTC 2021
      

   3. Exit the pod.

      exit
