Isilon CSI Questions

1. I'd like to create a service account for the driver but have not been able to find any documentation regarding permissions needed. Is there documentation on permissions required for Isilon API?

 

2. Documentation states that only RHEL is supported. Is this a statement of fact or just what is supported through support channels? Are there specific reasons why this won't work on Ubuntu, Fedora CoreOS, Flatcar nodes?

    Hi,

    Q1.I see these privileges in the Product Guide available here, is this what you are looking for?:

    https://github.com/dell/csi-isilon

    NOTE: The username must be from the authentication providers in the System zone of Isilon. The user must have enough privileges to perform the actions. The suggested privileges are as follows:
    ○ ISI_PRIV_LOGIN_PAPI
    ○ ISI_PRIV_NFS
    ○ ISI_PRIV_QUOTA
    ○ ISI_PRIV_SNAPSHOT
    ○ ISI_PRIV_IFS_RESTORE
    ○ ISI_PRIV_NS_IFS_ACCESS

    Q2.The versions listed are the ones that have been qualified and tested by engineering...But let me see if I can find someone that can better answer this question for you.

    Thanks,
    Frank

    @rcanderson23 , on Q2, you & @frank_g are correct. RHEL is the only distro officially qualified / benchmarked and therefore support via support.dell.com

    That being said some customers use Ubuntu and RHCOS. 

    I never heard about Flatcat usage.

    @Flo_csI @frank_g,thank you for the responses. My final question is regarding the docker mount propagation being set to shared. This is the first time I have seen it required for any CSI so I'm curious as to why it is required. Thanks.

    I think this is because one volume can have multiple mounts (global and then to the pod).

    That option is already set with Ubuntu package.
