You can skip this step if your Kubernetes deployment is on a single VM or physical system.
When setting up a k8s cluster, the folder /dockerdata-nfs must be shared between all the k8s nodes. This folder is used as a volume by the onap pods to share data and so there can only be one copy.
On this page we will attempt to do this by setting up a nfs server on the k8s master node vm and then mount the exported directory on each of the k8s’ nodes VMs.
These instruction where written using VMs create from a ubuntu-16.04-server-cloudimg-amd64-disk1 image.
Create NFS Server and export /dockerdata-nfs on Kubernetes master node VM
The actual /dockerdata-nfs folder will live on the k8s master node VM.
Create the directory as root on the k8s master node VM.
sudo mkdir -p /export/dockerdata-nfs
In our environment we provision the dockerdata-nfs folder as a Openstack volume and used that as the VM default backing store. This is optional and can be skipped. See Create an OpenStack Volume for details
Setup the NFS server on the k8s master node VM and export the dockerdata-nfs folder
sudo apt update sudo apt install nfs-kernel-server sudo chmod 777 /export sudo chmod 777 /export/dockerdata-nfs sudo vi /etc/exports # append "/export/dockerdata-nfs *(rw,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check)" sudo vi /etc/fstab # append "/home/ubuntu/dockerdata-nfs /export/dockerdata-nfs none bind 0 0" sudo service nfs-kernel-server restart
Mount the dockerdata-nfs folder on each of the kubernetes node VMs.
Work in progress
More investigatio needed (as part of multi-nodes kubernetes cluser) as I'm having "Operation not permitted" error in sdnc-dbhost pod when deploying SDN-C cluster with the mounted /dockerdata-nfs from this instruction:
ubuntu@sdnc-k8s:~/oom/kubernetes/oneclick$ kubectl logs sdnc-dbhost-3029711096-w1szw -n onap-sdnc
[Entrypoint] MySQL Docker Image 5.6.38-1.1.2

chown: /consul/config: Operation not permitted
ubuntu@sdnc-k8s:~/oom/kubernetes/oneclick$
On each of the k8s node vm' mount the /dockerdata-nfs folder that is being served from the k8s master VM.
sudo apt install nfs-common sudo mkdir /dockerdata-nfs sudo chmod 777 /dockerdata-nfs sudo mount -t nfs -o proto=tcp,port=2049 k8s-master:/export/dockerdata-nfs /dockerdata-nfs sudo vi /etc/fstab # append "<host|IP of k8s master node vm>:/export/dockerdata-nfs /dockerdata-nfs nfs auto 0 0"
Tips
unmount
Use the lazy (-l) option to force unmount the mount point.
For example,
sudo umount -l /dockerdata-nfs
