Starting with the release of Container Storage Modules v1.16.0, this repository will no longer be maintained as an open source project. Future development will continue under a closed source model. This change reflects our commitment to delivering even greater value to our customers by enabling faster innovation and more deeply integrated features with the Dell storage portfolio.
For existing customers using Dell’s Container Storage Modules, you will continue to receive:

• Ongoing Support & Community Engagement
  You will continue to receive high-quality support through Dell Support and our community channels. Your experience of engaging with the Dell community remains unchanged.
• Streamlined Deployment & Updates
  Deployment and update processes will remain consistent, ensuring a smooth and familiar experience.
• Access to Documentation & Resources
  All documentation and related materials will remain publicly accessible, providing transparency and technical guidance.
• Continued Access to Current Open Source Version
  The current open-source version will remain available under its existing license for those who rely on it.

Moving to a closed source model allows Dell’s development team to accelerate feature delivery and enhance integration across our Enterprise Kubernetes Storage solutions ultimately providing a more seamless and robust experience.
We deeply appreciate the contributions of the open source community and remain committed to supporting our customers through this transition.

For questions or access requests, please contact the maintainers via Dell Support.

Repository for CSI Driver for Dell PowerFlex

CSI Driver for PowerFlex is part of the CSM (Container Storage Modules) open-source suite of Kubernetes storage enablers for Dell products. CSI Driver for PowerFlex is a Container Storage Interface (CSI) driver that provides support for provisioning persistent storage using Dell PowerFlex storage array.

This project may be compiled as a stand-alone binary using Golang that, when run, provides a valid CSI endpoint. It also can be used as a precompiled container image.

This project is a Go module (see golang.org Module information for explanation). The dependencies for this project are in the go.mod file.

To build the source, execute make clean build.

To run unit tests, execute make unit-test.

To build an image, execute make docker.

You can run an integration test on a Linux system by populating the file env.sh with values for your PowerFlex system and then run "make integration-test".

The Node portion of the driver can only be run on nodes which have network connectivity to a “PowerFlex Cluster” via PowerFlex SDC Client (which is used by the driver). This means that the scini kernel module must be loaded.

Also, if the X_CSI_VXFLEXOS_SDCGUID environment variable is not set, the driver will attempt to query the SDC GUID automatically. If this fails, the driver will not run.

For more detailed information on the driver, please refer to Container Storage Modules documentation.
