Hello all,

 

Maybe someone knows how to resolve this. 

 

According to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/aks/azure-csi-blob-storage-provision?source=recommendations&... we mounted an Azure Data Lake Gen2 Blob into a test Pod as NFS. And it works perfectly.

 

When tried to mount this to the Compute pods (or CAS, does not matter), we tried to translate the compute-server-add-nfs-mount.yaml into the code Microsoft indicated. However, it complains regarding PersistenVolumeClaim plugin.

 

Error: external plugins disabled; unable to load external plugin 'PersistentVolumeClaim'

However, I think no plugin should be required, as it is not required either for nfs. Therefore it brings me to think I am missing something important and Basic. You can find below the code of the transformer yaml file. Perhaps you can help to find out what is missing.

 

Thank you in advance! 

 

Best regards,

Juan

Hello everyone,

 

I have an update for this. SAS Tech Support helped us to realize that the PersistentVolume and PersistentVolumeClaim blocks cannot be used in the transformers group. Those blocks need to be applied separately, either directly with kubectl apply, or within the resources group.

 

Thank you! 🙂

Best regards,

Juan

This looks to be standard Viya 4 order deployment, and also seems you have raised a support track for the same with track #7613735072,

 

The Support team should get back to you on your query/concern you raised at the earliest.
