🔒 Important Notice

Starting with the release of Container Storage Modules v1.16.0, this repository will no longer be maintained as an open source project. Future development will continue under a closed source model. This change reflects our commitment to delivering even greater value to our customers by enabling faster innovation and more deeply integrated features with the Dell storage portfolio.
For existing customers using Dell’s Container Storage Modules, you will continue to receive:

• Ongoing Support & Community Engagement
  You will continue to receive high-quality support through Dell Support and our community channels. Your experience of engaging with the Dell community remains unchanged.
• Streamlined Deployment & Updates
  Deployment and update processes will remain consistent, ensuring a smooth and familiar experience.
• Access to Documentation & Resources
  All documentation and related materials will remain publicly accessible, providing transparency and technical guidance.
• Continued Access to Current Open Source Version
  The current open-source version will remain available under its existing license for those who rely on it.

Moving to a closed source model allows Dell’s development team to accelerate feature delivery and enhance integration across our Enterprise Kubernetes Storage solutions ultimately providing a more seamless and robust experience.
We deeply appreciate the contributions of the open source community and remain committed to supporting our customers through this transition.

CSI Driver for Dell PowerStore

Repository for CSI Driver for Dell PowerStore

Description

CSI Driver for PowerStore is part of the CSM (Container Storage Modules) open-source suite of Kubernetes storage enablers for Dell products. CSI Driver for PowerStore is a Container Storage Interface (CSI) driver that provides support for provisioning persistent storage using Dell PowerStore storage array.

This project may be compiled as a stand-alone binary using Golang that, when run, provides a valid CSI endpoint. It also can be used as a precompiled container image.

Building

This project is a Go module (see golang.org Module information for explanation). The dependencies for this project are listed in the go.mod file.

To build the source, execute make clean build.

To run unit tests, execute make test.

To build an image, execute make docker.

Runtime Dependencies

Both the Controller and the Node portions of the driver can only be run on nodes with network connectivity to a Dell PowerStore server (which is used by the driver).

If you want to use iSCSI as a transport protocol be sure that iscsi-initiator-utils package is installed on your node.

If you want to use FC be sure that zoning of Host Bus Adapters to the FC port directors was done.

If you want to use NFS be sure to enable it in myvalues.yaml or in your storage classes, and configure corresponding NAS servers on PowerStore.

If you want to use NVMe/TCP be sure that the nvme-cli package is installed on your node.

If you want to use NVMe/FC be sure that the NVMeFC zoning of the Host Bus Adapters to the Fibre Channel port is done.

Documentation

For more detailed information on the driver, please refer to Container Storage Modules documentation.
