4.2. Installation & Configuration

Installation

Using helm

Download the helm chart:
wget https://github.com/Excelero/nvmesh-csi-driver/releases/download/v1.2.1/helm-chart.nvmesh-csi-driver-1.2.1.tgz

Install and set the nvmesh-management server and protocol:

kubectl create namespace nvmesh-csi
helm install nvmesh-csi-driver --namespace nvmesh-csi-driver ./helm-chart.nvmesh-csi-driver-1.2.1.tgz --set config.servers=<your.mgmt.server>:4000 --set config.protocol=https

Using kubectl (without helm)

kubectl create namespace nvmesh-csi
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Excelero/nvmesh-csi-driver/v1.2.1/deploy/kubernetes/deployment.yaml

Configuration

• If you are using the Kubernetes Dashboard, make sure the selected namespace is `nvmesh-csi` in the side menu.

Edit Management Server Address

Using the Kubernetes dashboard, go to Config Maps > nvmesh-config.
OR from the terminal run: kubectl edit configmap -n nvmesh-csi nvmesh-csi-config.

Edit management.servers to your MANAGEMENT_SERVERS configuration: management.servers: server-1.domain.com.
For multiple management servers: management.servers: server-1.domain.com,server-2.domain.com,server-2.domain.com.

If you deployed NVMesh Management in a Container using Excelero/nvmesh-mgmt-docker, then use:

management.servers: "nvmesh-management-svc.nvmesh.svc.cluster.local:4000"
management.protocol: "http"

Edit Management Server Username and Password

*This step is required only if the default username/password of the management server was changed.

Using the Kubernetes dashboard, go to Secrets > nvmesh-credentials.
OR from the terminal run: kubectl edit secret -n nvmesh-csi nvmesh-credentials.

Edit username and password to your management server credentials configuration.
p(banner tip). Secrets in Kubernetes must be in base64 format

For example, use:

echo -n 'admin@excelero.com' | base64

and

echo -n 'admin' | base64

to get the username and password in base64.
