Provisioning storage on Veritas File System as data volumes for containers
You can provision data volumes to the container using the -v flag in the docker run command. To provision multiple data volumes, pass the - v flag multiple times in the docker run command.
To export a data volume from VxFS as backend storage
- On the host node create a VxVM volume and mount it as a VxFS file system.
# vxassist -g dockerdg make containervolume 1G
# mkfs -t vxfs /dev/vx/dsk/dockerdg/containervolume
# mkdir /containervolume
# mount -t vxfs /dev/vx/dsk/dockerdg/containervolume /containervolume
Where containervolume is the storage provisioned to Docker containers.
- Mount the volume inside the container.
# docker run -it --name vm-container -v /containervolume:/vol ubuntu /bin/bash
- The default permissions for a volume mounted to a Docker container is read-write. However, you can change the access permissions of volume while mounting it to the container.
# docker run -it --name vm-container -v /containervolume:/vol -v /containervolume1:/vol1:ro ubuntu /bin/bash
