This article provides instructions for administrators deploying and managing the TrueNAS CSI driver through the OpenShift Operator.

Cluster administrators perform the one-time configuration that consists of:

The TrueNAS OpenShift operator is an official TrueNAS product that enables Red Hat OpenShift customers to use their clusters to dynamically provision, manage, and consume storage from TrueNAS storage systems.

This guide is for developers/users requesting storage through the OpenShift Operator that packages and manages the TrueNAS CSI driver. These storage requests use PersistentVolumeClaim (PVC) YAML files submitted with the oc apply command to add volumes to OpenShift projects.

It covers creating PersistentVolumeClaims, mounting storage volumes, and using the features available to TrueNAS storage users.

For an overview of the OpenShift Operator/CSI driver integration see OpenShift Operator.

For StorageClass configuration and Operator installation, see OpenShift Operator Administrators Guide.

This article provides general reference information about the TrueNAS OpenShift Operator. It covers basic storage concepts, the workflow from storage request to volume provisioning, and full YAML specifications for the TrueNASCSI custom resource and NFS and iSCSI StorageClasses. It also includes network and TLS configuration requirements, troubleshooting tips, and support resources.

Use this article alongside the OpenShift Operator Administrators Guide and OpenShift Operator User Guide for complete deployment information.

OpenShift is built on Kubernetes, an open-source container orchestration platform that automates deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. The OpenShift Operator packages and manages the TrueNAS CSI Driver, providing a native OpenShift deployment experience through OperatorHub.
