Nutanix CSI

Versions Supported​

Configure Storage Container​

Palette provides a default Volume storage class called spectro-storage-class to allow applications requiring volumes to access persistent volumes. This storage class is created by the Nutanix CSI pack.

A storage container must be configured in the Prism Element UI to enable the pack to create the storage class. Once the storage container is configured, specify its name during the cluster profile creation. The container name must be included in the values of the nutanix-csi-storage chart, under the storageContainer: line. The code snippet below showcases an example configuration with a storage container named test-container.

storageContainer: "test-container"

Configure ISCSI Data Services IP Address​

Nutanix Volumes utilize an Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) data service IP address to provide access to cluster storage. In the Prism Element UI, go to the Cluster Details page and configure the ISCSI data services IP address as described in the Adding an ISCSI Data Services IP Address guide.

warning

The iSCSI daemon needs to be enabled during the Nutanix cloud registration step. Refer to the Register Nutanix Cloud to learn more about the Nutanix registration process.
