Deploying the POD on a Specific K8S Node
You can choose to deploy the POD on a specific K8s node by specifying nodeName or nodeSelector in the template.
The default values for these parameters are empty, which means the POD will not be limited to any POD.
Examples:
Specifying
nodeSelector:
helm template \
--set filesystem.enabled=true \
--set filesystem.nodeSelector."beta\.kubernetes\.io/arch"=amd64,filesystem.nodeSelector.disktype=ssd \
lightbits-helm-repo/lb-csi-workload-examples
Will result in:
kind: Pod
apiVersion: v1

name: example-filesystem-pod
spec:
nodeSelector:
beta.kubernetes.io/arch: amd64
disktype: ssd
containers:
...
Specifying
nodeName:
helm template \
--set filesystem.enabled=true \
--set filesystem.nodeName=node00.local \
lightbits-helm-repo/lb-csi-workload-examples
Will result in:

Verifying the Filesystem Workload Deployed
Verify that PV, PVC are created and in Bounded state, and that POD is in Running state:
kubectl get pv,pvc,pods
NAME CAPACITY ACCESS MODES RECLAIM POLICY STATUS CLAIM STORAGECLASS REASON AGE
persistentvolume/pvc-e0ad4f63-4b42-417f-8bed-94f8aec8f0d5 10Gi RWO Delete Bound default/example-fs-pvc example-sc 33s
NAME STATUS VOLUME CAPACITY ACCESS MODES STORAGECLASS AGE

NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
pod/example-fs-pod 1/1 Running 0 34s
Uninstalling the Filesystem Workload
helm uninstall lb-csi-workload-filesystem
Verify that all resources are gone:
kubectl get pv,pvc,pods
No resources found in default namespace.
