Goal

Deploy clusters with OCP, CNV and GPFS with local storage (3 or 6 iSCSI targets per cluster) for GPFS certification.

User Stories

• As a storage engineer, I would like to run my T1 and T2 tests on a cluster with GPFS backing storage.

Non-Requirements

• One idea is to export local storage disks from from each worker as an iSCSI target, to be consumed by GPFS. This would make it unnecessary to depend on external storage.

Notes

• GPFS experts lurks in #tmp-purple-storage

We want to give a try to deploy it on Local Disk. It is in conflict with ODF, so GPFS & ODF deployment is going to be mutually exclusive. The back up plan is to deploy if with external lun from our netapp servers.
