Integrating Sisense with Portworx

Sisense requires the following system prerequisites and deployment configuration changes if your environment uses the Portworx platform for end-to-end storage and data management solution on the Kubernetes cluster.

System Prerequisites

• A running cluster using Kubernetes v1.17 (minimum)
• Installed Portworx v2.6
• One ReadWriteMany Kubernetes storage class
• One ReadWriteOnce Kubernetes storage class

For more information about the storage classes, see the Portworx documentation.

These Portworx prerequisites are in addition to the prerequisites detailed in the:

• Minimum Requirements for Sisense in Linux Environments
• Installing Sisense on Linux

Deployment Configuration

You must make the following changes to the cluster_config.yaml file used for the Installing Sisense on Linux procedure.

1. Edit the cluster_config.yaml file.

   vim cluster_config.yaml
   

2. Remove the redundant configuration from the k8s_nodes parmeter. Only use the node and roles keys:

   k8s_nodes:
   
   - { node: node1, roles: "application, query" }
   
   - { node: node2, roles: "application, query" }
   
   - { node: node3, roles: "build" }
   

3. For the storage_type parameter, enter the value: "portworx"

4. For the update parameter, enter the value: "true"

5. Add the following two parameters to the cluster storage type section in the YAML file:

   rwx_sc_name: The name for the storage class with the ReadWriteMany capability

   rwo_sc_name: The name for the storage class with the ReadWriteOnce capability

   storage_type: "portworx"
   
   rwx_sc_name: "your-rwx-storageclassname"
   
   rwo_sc_name: "your-rwo-storageclassname"
   

.r.
