4.1.1. Install & Configure

Deploy the NVMesh CSI Driver

To deploy the driver in Kuberentes simply run the following command from a node with kubectl in your cluster.

Using helm

Download the helm chart using:
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

Configure

*If you used helm to install the driver and you set the flags for config.servers and config.protocol during installation you can skip this step.

To let the CSI Driver know where your nvmesh-management server is, run the following on your master node and follow the instructions:
bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Excelero/nvmesh-csi-driver/v1.2.1/deploy/kubernetes/scripts/set_mgmt_address.sh)

This will update the nvmesh-csi-config ConfigMap and restart the nvmesh-csi-controller POD.

You are all set!
