px-demo-rwx

A quick and dirty demo of various RWX volumes with Portworx.

There are 3 YAML files that have complete storageclass and deployment code to create a RWX volume, as follows:

• rwx-fa-file.yaml Uses an existing FA-File filesystem to create a PVC. (PX-Enterprise, PX-CSI)
• rwx-fbda.yaml Uses an existing FlashBlade token/configuration to create a PVC (PX-Enterprise, PX-CSI)
• rwx-sharedv4.yaml Uses Portworx SharedV4 Service Volume to create a PVC (PX-Enterprise only)

Apply one of the above to a namespace of your choice. It will create:

• A storageclass using the appropriate storage.
• A PVC using that storageclass
• A busybox deployment with 3 replicas, all mounting the pvc on /mnt/busybox

The busybox deployment, when run, echos its pod name and date to /mnt/busybox/$(hostname)-status.txt. You can exec into any pod and see that all 3 pods have written to their unique files.

A quick and dirty script called exec_pod.sh will exec into one of the pods and list the directory, allowing you to see that all 3 files are updating size and timestamp.
