Deploy a Test Application
If all verification steps in the preceding stages were satisfied, then Mayastor has been successfully deployed within the cluster. In order to verify basic functionality, we will now dynamically provision a Persistent Volume based on a Mayastor StorageClass, mount that volume within a small test pod which we'll create, and use the Flexible I/O Tester utility within that pod to check that I/O to the volume is processed correctly.
Use
kubectl to create a PVC based on a StorageClass that you created in the previous stage. In the example shown below, we'll consider that StorageClass to have been named "mayastor-1". Replace the value of the field "storageClassName" with the name of your own Mayastor-based StorageClass.For the purposes of this quickstart guide, it is suggested to name the PVC "ms-volume-claim", as this is what will be illustrated in the example steps which follow.
Command
YAML
cat <<EOF | kubectl create -f -
apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
metadata:
name: ms-volume-claim
spec:
accessModes:
- ReadWriteOnce
resources:
requests:
storage: 1Gi
storageClassName: mayastor-1
EOF
apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
metadata:
name: ms-volume-claim
spec:
accessModes:
- ReadWriteOnce
resources:
requests:
storage: 1Gi
storageClassName: INSERT_YOUR_STORAGECLASS_NAME_HERE
If you used the storage class example from previous stage, then volume binding mode is set to
WaitForFirstConsumer. That means, that the volume won't be created until there is an application using the volume. We will go ahead and create the application pod and then check all resources that should have been created as part of that in kubernetes.The Mayastor CSI driver will cause the application pod and the corresponding Mayastor volume's NVMe target/controller ("Nexus") to be scheduled on the same Mayastor Node, in order to assist with restoration of volume and application availabilty in the event of a storage node failure.
In this version, applications using PVs provisioned by Mayastor can only be successfully scheduled on Mayastor Nodes. This behaviour is controlled by the
local: parameter of the corresponding StorageClass, which by default is set to a value of true. Therefore, this is the only supported value for this release - setting a non-local configuration may cause scheduling of the application pod to fail, as the PV cannot be mounted to a worker node other than a MSN. This behaviour will change in a future release.Command (GitHub Latest)
YAML
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openebs/Mayastor/v1.0.2/deploy/fio.yaml
kind: Pod
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
name: fio
spec:
nodeSelector:
openebs.io/engine: mayastor
volumes:
- name: ms-volume
persistentVolumeClaim:
claimName: ms-volume-claim
containers:
- name: fio
image: nixery.dev/shell/fio
args:
- sleep
- "1000000"
volumeMounts:
- mountPath: "/volume"
name: ms-volume
We will now verify the Volume Claim and that the corresponding Volume and Mayastor Volume resources have been created and are healthy.
The status of the PVC should be "Bound".
Command
Example Output
kubectl get pvc ms-volume-claim
NAME STATUS VOLUME CAPACITY ACCESS MODES STORAGECLASS AGE
ms-volume-claim Bound pvc-fe1a5a16-ef70-4775-9eac-2f9c67b3cd5b 1Gi RWO mayastor-1 15s
Command
Example Output
Substitute the example volume name with that shown under the "VOLUME" heading of the output returned by the preceding "get pvc" command, as executed in your own cluster
kubectl get pv pvc-fe1a5a16-ef70-4775-9eac-2f9c67b3cd5b
NAME CAPACITY ACCESS MODES RECLAIM POLICY STATUS CLAIM STORAGECLASS REASON AGE
pvc-fe1a5a16-ef70-4775-9eac-2f9c67b3cd5b 1Gi RWO Delete Bound default/ms-volume-claim mayastor-1 16m
The status of the volume should be "online".
Command
Example Output
kubectl mayastor get volumes
ID REPLICAS TARGET-NODE ACCESSIBILITY STATUS SIZE
18e30e83-b106-4e0d-9fb6-2b04e761e18a 3 aks-agentpool-12194210-0 nvmf Online 1073741824
Verify that the pod has been deployed successfully, having the status "Running". It may take a few seconds after creating the pod before it reaches that status, proceeding via the "ContainerCreating" state.
Note: The example FIO pod resource declaration included with this release references a PVC named
ms-volume-claim, consistent with the example PVC created in this section of the quickstart. If you have elected to name your PVC differently, deploy the Pod using the example YAML, modifying the claimName field appropriately.Command
Example Output
kubectl get pod fio
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
fio 1/1 Running 0 34s
We now execute the FIO Test utility against the Mayastor PV for 60 seconds, checking that I/O is handled as expected and without errors. In this quickstart example, we use a pattern of random reads and writes, with a block size of 4k and a queue depth of 16.
Command
Example Output
kubectl exec -it fio -- fio --name=benchtest --size=800m --filename=/volume/test --direct=1 --rw=randrw --ioengine=libaio --bs=4k --iodepth=16 --numjobs=8 --time_based --runtime=60

If no errors are reported in the output then Mayastor has been correctly configured and is operating as expected. You may create and consume additional Persistent Volumes with your own test applications.
