Disable deployments that run the CSI driver implementations

You can disable installation of the CSI implementation pods. MicroShift does not delete CSI driver implementation pods. You must configure MicroShift to disable installation of the CSI driver implementation pods during the startup process.

Important

This procedure is for defining the configuration file before installing and running MicroShift. If MicroShift is already started, then the CSI driver implementation is running. You must manually remove it by following the uninstallation instructions.

Procedure
  1. Disable installation of the CSI driver by entering the driver value under the storage section of the MicroShift configuration file in /etc/microshift/config.yaml:

    # ...
      storage
       driver:
       - "none"
    # ...

    where:

    storage.driver.none

    Specifies the driver to disable. Valid values are none or lvms.

    Note

    By default, the driver value is empty or null and LVMS is deployed.

  2. Start MicroShift after the driver field is specified with a supported value in the /etc/microshift/config.yaml file by running the following command:

    $ sudo systemctl enable --now microshift
    Note

    MicroShift does not redeploy the disabled components after a restart operation.
