OCP VMware Internal Registry Setup

In this video, I setup the internal registry in OpenShift on VMware. By default, the internal registry needs configuration when using VMware, for my internal lab, I have chosen and local NFS server to share out a 100Gb ReadWriteMany volume.
Note: On platforms that do not provide shareable object storage, the OpenShift Image Registry Operator bootstraps itself as Removed. After installation, you must edit the Image Registry Operator configuration to switch the managementState from Removed to Managed.

Great Video as always 👍 but i think we can only create the persistent volume and once we edit the configs.image-registery it will create the needed pvc ?

[@OCPdude]

I usually create a manual NFS volume (PV & PVC) for my registry since it needs to support ReadWriteMany. The documentation tells you to create a PV of 100Gi and then just tell the image-registry `clam:` with no name... it will automatically create the PVC and then bind it to this 100Gi PV.

@@OCPdude yes exactly this is what i meant , once we have the pv no need to create the pvc ..

Is there any problem in using NFS as mentioned here
Redhat support recommended not to use it so i want to ask how can i presist my data

[@OCPdude]

First, I would like to remind you that I am not representing Red Hat or IBM here.
That said, Red Hat doesn’t recommend Linux based NFS in production. My perspective is NFS is a solid proven technology. I use NFS over bonded nics with zero issues, but if I was supporting an enterprise, I would likely prefer say... NetApp with its scale and performance. Evaluate your scale and performance needs, will Linux NFS work? Maybe, maybe not. Dev/Test? Hell yes. 😬👍🏻
