RFE: automate creation of PV and VG #200

Closed phhutter closed 12 months ago

phhutter commented 2 years ago

Describe the problem/challenge you have When using the OpenEBS lvm localpv provisioner we have to manually create one or more PV(s) and assign them to a VG. To allow a full end to end automation, we would like to have this task done by an operator.

Describe the solution you'd like The creation of a PV and VG should be automated. An operator should look for a disk (e.g. /dev/sdb) or a disk metadata pattern (Vendor=xy) and create the PV and the corresponding VG. As an extension, the operator should also realize when a new disk gets added/resized to the system and pull them into the existing VG.

Anything else you would like to add: Maybe thats something the NDM operator could do for us. Is there a reason why this feature hasn't been implemented yet?

@phhutter We don't have any plans to include this. Also these would need a arch design.
