  • For provisioning cStor volume via CSI driver support and performing basic operations on this volume such as expanding volume and snapshot & clone, you must require Kubernetes version 1.14 or above
  • Understand the pre-requisites for your Kubernetes platform
  • Start installation through OpenEBS operator.
  • For production deployments or to test OpenEBS volumes on real disks, create cStorPools, cStor-StorageClasses and start provisioning volumes using the newly created cStor-StorageClasses. More details can be find from here.
