Configure local storage operator

This section provides steps to configure the local storage operator available from OperatorHub to use for a lab environment. Local storage is not recommended in production.

1. Add a RHEL compute node

To use local storage, you will need a RHEL compute node in the cluster. Refer to the following documentation to add a RHEL compute node.

2. Add new device path to node

On the RHEL compute node, create a new device path. For this example, we will use /dev/sdb1 for the second partition. Add the partition by running fdisk /dev/sdb1.

3. Configure local storage

Refer to the following for documentation to configure local persistent storage. This example provisions the following StorageClass objects:

• StorageClass named local-storageclass using Filesystem storage on the /dev/sdb1 device path. Replace the node name worker1.yourcluster.domain.com with your own. Create the LocalVolume object with the following: oc apply -f local-volume.yaml
• StorageClass named localblock-storageclass using Block storage on the /dev/sdb2 device path. Replace the node name worker1.yourcluster.domain.com with your own. Create the LocalVolume object with the following: oc apply -f localblock-volume.yaml
