    Flex to CSI Migration

    In Rook v1.8, the Flex driver has been deprecated. Before updating to v1.8, any Flex volumes created in previous versions of Rook will need to be converted to Ceph-CSI volumes.

    The tool persistent-volume-migrator will help automate migration of Flex rbd volumes to Ceph-CSI volumes.

    Note Migration of CephFS FlexVolumes is not supported for now.

    Migration Preparation

    1. Rook v1.7.9 or later v1.7.x version is required. If you have a previous version of Rook running, follow the upgrade guide to upgrade from previous releases until on the latest v1.7.x.
    2. Enable the CSI driver if not already enabled. See the operator settings such as ROOK_CSI_ENABLE_RBD.
    3. Confirm the Rook-Ceph cluster is healthy (ceph status shows health: OK)
    4. Create the CSI storage class to which you want to migrate
    5. Create the migrator pod 1) kubectl create -f cluster/examples/kubernetes/ceph/flex-migrator.yaml

    NOTE: The Migration procedure will come with a downtime as we need to scale down the applications using the volumes before migration.

    Migrate a PVC

    1. Stop the application pods that are consuming the flex volume(s) that need to be converted. For example, scale the application deployment down to 0: kubectl scale --replicas=0 deploy/<name>
    2. Connect to migration pod
      1. migration_pod=$(kubectl -n rook-ceph get pod -l app=rook-ceph-migrator -o jsonpath='{.items[*].metadata.name}')

      2. kubectl -n rook-ceph exec -it "$migration_pod" -- sh

    3. Run the tool to migrate the PVC. See the section below for more details on the options and the sample output.
      1. pv-migrator --pvc=<pvc-name> --pvc-ns=<pvc-namespace> --destination-sc=<storageclass-name-to-migrate-in>
    4. Start the application pods which were stopped in step 1. For example, scale the application deployment back up: kubectl scale --replicas=1 deploy/<name>

    Migration Tool Options

    These are the options for converting a single PVC. For more options, see the tool documentation, for example to convert all PVCs automatically that belong to the same storage class.

    1. --pvc: required: name of the pvc to migrate
    2. --pvc-ns: required: namespace in which the target PVC is present.
    3. --destination-sc: required: name of the ceph-csi storage class in which you want to migrate. The destination StroageClass pool name should be same as PVC you want to migrate.
    4. --rook-ns: optional namespace where the rook operator is running. default: rook-ceph.
    5. --ceph-cluster-ns: optional namespace where the ceph cluster is running. default: rook-ceph.
    pv-migrator --pvc=rbd-pvc --pvc-ns=default --destination-sc=csi-rook-ceph-block

    Cleanup Guide

    Delete the flex-migration.yaml when done using migration tool.

    1. kubectl delete -f cluster/examples/kubernetes/ceph/flex-migrator.yaml
