Runtime Dependencies

Both the Controller and the Node portions of the driver can only be run on nodes with network connectivity to a Dell PowerStore server (which is used by the driver).

If you want to use iSCSI as a transport protocol be sure that iscsi-initiator-utils package is installed on your node.

If you want to use FC be sure that zoning of Host Bus Adapters to the FC port directors was done.

If you want to use NFS be sure to enable it in myvalues.yaml or in your storage classes, and configure corresponding NAS servers on PowerStore.

If you want to use NVMe/TCP be sure that the nvme-cli package is installed on your node.

If you want to use NVMe/FC be sure that the NVMeFC zoning of the Host Bus Adapters to the Fibre Channel port is done.
