Enable CSI Snapshot Support on a Cluster
Enable CSI Snapshot Support for Programmatic Creation of Longhorn Snapshots/Backups
Prerequisite
It is the responsibility of the Kubernetes distribution to deploy the snapshot controller as well as the related custom resource definitions.
For more information, see CSI Volume Snapshots.
You may manually install these components by executing the following steps.
Prerequisite
Please install the same release version of snapshot CRDs and snapshot controller to ensure that the CRD version is compatible with the snapshot controller.
For general use, update the snapshot controller YAMLs with an appropriate namespace prior to installing.
For example, on a vanilla Kubernetes cluster, update the namespace from
default
tokube-system
prior to issuing thekubectl create
command.
Install the Snapshot CRDs:
kubectl create -k client/config/crd
.Install the Common Snapshot Controller:
kube-system
)kubectl create -k deploy/kubernetes/snapshot-controller
.Note: previously, the snapshot controller YAML files were deployed into the
default
namespace by default. The updated YAML files are being deployed intokube-system
namespace by default. Therefore, we suggest deleting the previous snapshot controller in thedefault
namespace to avoid having multiple snapshot controllers.
See the Usage section from the kubernetes external-snapshotter git repo for additional information.
VolumeSnapshotClass
Ensure the availability of the Snapshot CRDs. Afterwards create a default VolumeSnapshotClass
.
# Use v1 as an example

apiVersion: snapshot.storage.k8s.io/v1
