Hi,

We have an existing IFS Cloud 25.1.5 Remote Deployment environment that was originally installed using the Quick Installation.

We are enabling SMB File Storage for the first time by following the official documentation.

Current situation:

  • The environment is already running.
  • The ifs-storage namespace already exists.
  • The csi-smb-controller and csi-smb-node pods are already running.
  • SMB File Storage has not been configured before.
  • We have updated ifscloud-values.yaml with the required SMB configuration (ifsStorageSmbCredentials, ifsfilestorage.fssEnabled, fssSmbSharePath, etc.).

My question is:

After updating ifscloud-values.yaml, what is the supported procedure to apply these configuration changes to the existing environment?

Is there an additional deployment or configuration update step required after modifying the file?

Thanks!

    Hi Zinnet,

    Once all of the necessary configuration is made, you invoke installer.cmd with action set to mtinstaller.

    installer.cmd --set action=mtinstaller

    This applies the current configuration to the cluster and is not specific to file storage.

    Thank you, Ben.

    Just to confirm, which installer.cmd are you referring to?

    Is it the installer that comes with the current build-home, or another installer on the Management Server?

    installer.cmd is included in the build-home deliveries. Use whichever is your current version.
