Administering InfoScale on Containers

Managing InfoScale in Kubernetes and OpenShift environments requires specific operational workflows for cluster lifecycle management, storage expansion, and monitoring. Administrators can scale the cluster by adding or removing worker nodes through updates to the configuration file, followed by applying the changes to initiate the workflow.

Additionally, InfoScale supports persistent volume rebuilding to ensure data retention during platform reinstallation, provided cluster identifiers remain consistent.

Monitoring and system optimization are facilitated through native Kubernetes or OpenShift tools. Administrators can configure custom alerts for storage thresholds, disk failures, or replication status. Furthermore, the environment provides specialized toolsets for tasks such as calculating storage consumption, enforcing volume rekey operations, and fine-tuning cluster performance parameters. These operations are managed primarily through kubectl or oc CLI commands, with comprehensive status verification steps available for each procedure.
