Dynamic provisioning for NFS volumes in OpenShift

Solution Verified - Updated

Environment

  • Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform (RHOCP)
    • 4
  • NFS volumes dynamic provisioning

Issue

  • Does OpenShift dynamic provisioning support for plain NFS servers?
  • Does Red Hat support dynamic provisioning of PVs using NFS exports from a RHEL server?
  • Is there any CSI driver supported for NFS dynamic PV provisioning?

Resolution

Red Hat does not ship a NFS CSI Driver that supports dynamic provisioning of NFS volumes. As of now, NFS PVs can be provisioned manually following persistent storage using NFS.

Root Cause

Red Hat does not ship a NFS CSI driver that supports dynamic provisioning of NFS volumes. For detailed information on supported plug-ins and CSI drivers, please refer to the product documentation links below (the supported plugins and CSI Drivers may vary between OpenShift versions):
