:lock: Important Notice
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.
GoIsilon
Overview
GoIsilon is a Go package that provides a client for the EMC Isilon OneFS HTTP API. The package provides both direct implementations of the API bindings as well as abstract, helper functionality. In addition, services such as Docker, Mesos, and REX-Ray use the GoIsilon package to integrate with the NAS storage platform.
OneFS API Support Matrix
The GoIsilon package is tested with and supports OneFS 8.1+.
Examples
The tests provide working examples for how to use the package, but here are a few code snippets to further illustrate the basic ideas:
Initialize a new client
This example shows how to initialize a new client.
client, err := NewClient(context.Background())
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
Please note that there is no attempt to provide a host, credentials, or any
other options. The NewClient()
function relies on the following environment
variables to configure the GoIsilon client:
Environment Variables
Name | Description |
---|---|
GOISILON_ENDPOINT | the API endpoint, ex. https://172.17.177.230:8080 |
GOISILON_USERNAME | the username |
GOISILON_GROUP | the user's group |
GOISILON_PASSWORD | the password |
GOISILON_INSECURE | whether to skip SSL validation |
GOISILON_VOLUMEPATH | which base path to use when looking for volume directories |
GOISILON_VOLUMEPATH_PERMISSIONS | permissions for new volume directory |
GOISILON_AUTHTYPE | what should be the auth type, session-based or basic |
Initialize a new client with options
The following example demonstrates how to explicitly specify options when creating a client:
client, err := NewClientWithArgs(
context.Background(),
"https://172.17.177.230:8080",
true,
1,
"userName",
"groupName",
"password",
"/ifs/volumes",
"0777",
0)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
Create a Volume
This snippet creates a new volume named "testing" at "/ifs/volumes/testing". The volume path is generated by concatenating the client's volume path and the name of the volume.
volume, err := c.CreateVolume(context.Background(), "testing")
Export a Volume
Enabling a volume for NFS access is fairly straight-forward.
if err := c.ExportVolume(context.Background(), "testing"); err != nil {
panic(err)
}
Delete a Volume
When a volume is no longer needed, this is how it may be removed.
if err := c.DeleteVolume(context.Background(), "testing"); err != nil {
panic(err)
}
More Examples
Several, very detailed examples of the GoIsilon package in use can be found in
the package's *_test.go
files as well as in the libStorage Isilon
storage driver.
