I have recently created a number of blogs posts on running containerised Oracle databases on Kubernetes using the Pure Storage Container Storage Interface (CSI) Driver Pure Service Orchestrator (PSO) to provide persistent block storage to my Oracle database containers using the Pure Service Orchestrator.
In this Blog I am going to show how it’s equally easy to create persistent file storage using the Pure Service Orchestrator CSI Driver.
Persistent Volume Creation – NFS
Below is an extract from my persistent volume claim yaml file, this shows a mount point which I will be using to deliver an Oracle 19c database in a future blog post.
---
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
name: ora-data193-nfs
namespace: oracle-namespace
labels:
app: database
version: 19.3.0.1
spec:
storageClassName: pure-file
accessModes:
- ReadWriteMany
resources:
requests:
storage: 20Gi
...
$ kubectl apply -f pvc-nfs.yaml -n oracle-namespace persistentvolumeclaim/ora-data193-nfs created
We can review our persistent volume claims using kubectl get pvc
$ kubectl get pvc/ora-data193-nfs -n oracle-namespace
