HPE_3PAR A630 Physical Integration with Redhat Openshift Cluster via HPE CSI Driver

[ARUPAMTRON]

Hi Team,

Is there any whitepaper/KB article or use case document for the subject query?

We have the below link but this link not clarifies the physical environment & the Storage end configurations.

e.g in which environment iSCSI or FC access protocol will be used, these things are not mentioned.

Our environment: RedHat Openshift cluster runs on top of KVM(All control plan & worker nodes are VM)

Thanks Mahesh for the doc.
Our Redhat Openshift cluster virtual environment is over KVM & not over baremetal.
Do we have any use case document for the same.

@Cali Thanks, Cali, I went through all of the documents/links. But nowhere it is mentioned how to configure the HPE Primera Storage in case your Openshift Cluster is based on VM, whether we should use fc or iSCSI, it is not mentioned anywhere.

I am looking for the use case where Openshift cluster which is based out of VM (Ovirt) integrated with HPE Primera
