Alauda Container Platform

Remove volumes and uninstall

Delete provisioned local volumes before you uninstall Alauda Container Platform Local Disk Provisioner. Uninstalling the operator does not delete your LocalVolume, LocalVolumeSet, StorageClass, or PersistentVolume objects. Do not uninstall the operator as a way to wipe disks.

Provisioning and binding claims stay in Guides.

Delete a LocalVolume or LocalVolumeSet

The operator keeps a finalizer on LocalVolume and LocalVolumeSet until no owned PersistentVolumes remain. Bound volumes and volumes with a Retain reclaim policy block deletion.

Prerequisites

  • You have installed Alauda Container Platform Local Disk Provisioner.
  • You know the object name in acp-storage.

Procedure

  1. List PersistentVolumes owned by the object:

    kubectl get pv -l storage.openshift.com/owner-name=<local-volume-name>

  2. Delete every PersistentVolumeClaim that is bound to those volumes. Wait until the claims are gone.

  3. Delete the object:

    kubectl -n acp-storage delete localvolume <local-volume-name>

    For a LocalVolumeSet:

    kubectl -n acp-storage delete localvolumeset <local-volume-set-name>

  4. If the object stays in Terminating, list remaining owned PersistentVolumes again. Delete or change reclaim policy on volumes that still exist. Do not remove the finalizer until those volumes are gone.

    Available volumes with Delete reclaim policy are released by the operator and then removed. Volumes with Retain reclaim policy are not removed automatically; delete them only after you no longer need the data.

WARNING

Deleting a LocalVolume or LocalVolumeSet can destroy data on the underlying disks when PersistentVolumes use the Delete reclaim policy. Confirm no workload still needs those volumes.

Uninstall Alauda Container Platform Local Disk Provisioner

Uninstall the operator only after you have deleted the LocalVolume and LocalVolumeSet objects you no longer need, or after you have decided to leave those objects in place.

The platform-created LocalVolumeDiscovery named auto-discover-devices may be removed when the operator subscription is deleted. Your LocalVolume and LocalVolumeSet objects are not deleted by uninstall.

Procedure

  1. Login, go to the Administrator page.

  2. Click Marketplace > OperatorHub.

  3. Find Alauda Container Platform Local Disk Provisioner and open the installed operator.

  4. Uninstall the operator. Do not select options that delete operands or custom resources if the console offers them.

  5. Confirm the operator pods in acp-storage are gone:

    kubectl -n acp-storage get csv | grep local-storage
