kubevirt-storage-checkup

This checkup performs storage checks, validating storage is working correctly for virtual machines. The checkup is using the Kiagnose engine.

Permissions

The following ServiceAccount, Role and RoleBinding should be applied on the test namespace.

kubectl apply -n <target-namespace> -f manifests/storage_checkup_permissions.yaml

Cluster admin should create the following cluster-reader permissions for dedicated storage-checkup-sa ServiceAccount and namespace:

- apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
  kind: ClusterRoleBinding
  metadata:
    name: kubevirt-storage-checkup-clustereader
  roleRef:
    apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
    kind: ClusterRole
    name: cluster-reader
  subjects:
  - kind: ServiceAccount
    name: storage-checkup-sa
    namespace: <target-namespace>

Configuration

Key	Description	Is Mandatory	Remarks
spec.timeout	How much time before the checkup will try to close itself	False	Default is 10m
spec.param.storageClass	Optional storage class to be used instead of the default one	False
spec.param.vmiTimeout	Optional timeout for VMI operations	False	Default is 3m
spec.param.numOfVMs	Optional number of concurrent VMs to boot	False	Default is 10

Example

In order to execute the checkup, the following ConfigMap and Job should be applied on the test namespace.

You can create the ConfigMap and Job with:

export CHECKUP_NAMESPACE=<target-namespace>

envsubst < manifests/storage_checkup.yaml|kubectl apply -f -

and cleanup them with:

envsubst < manifests/storage_checkup.yaml|kubectl delete -f -

Checkup Results Retrieval

After the checkup Job had completed, the results are made available at the user-supplied ConfigMap object:

kubectl get configmap storage-checkup-config -n <target-namespace> -o yaml
