# Flex to CSI Migration

In Rook v1.8, the Flex driver has been deprecated. Before updating to v1.8, any Flex volumes created in previous versions of Rook will need to be converted to Ceph-CSI volumes.

The tool [persistent-volume-migrator](https://github.com/ceph/persistent-volume-migrator) will help automate migration of Flex rbd volumes to Ceph-CSI volumes.

> **Note** Migration of CephFS FlexVolumes is not supported for now.
## Migration Preparation

1. Rook v1.7.x is required. If you have a previous version of Rook running, follow the [upgrade guide](https://rook.io/docs/rook/v1.7/ceph-upgrade.html) to upgrade from previous releases until on v1.7.x.
2. Enable the CSI driver if not already enabled. See the [operator settings](https://github.com/rook/rook/blob/release-1.7/cluster/examples/kubernetes/ceph/operator.yaml#L29-L32) such as `ROOK_CSI_ENABLE_RBD`.
3. Confirm the Rook-Ceph cluster is healthy (`ceph status` shows `health: OK`)
4. Create the CSI storage class to which you want to migrate
5. Create the migrator pod
1) `kubectl create -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ceph/persistent-volume-migrator/main/manifests/migrator.yaml`

**NOTE**: The Migration procedure will come with a downtime as we need to scale down the applications using the volumes before migration.

## Migrate a PVC

1. Stop the application pods that are consuming the flex volume(s) that need to be converted.
2. Connect to migration pod
1. `migration_pod=$(kubectl -n rook-ceph get pod -l app=rook-ceph-migrator -o jsonpath='{.items[*].metadata.name}')`

2. `kubectl -n rook-ceph exec -it "$migration_pod" -- sh`
3. Run the tool to migrate the PVC. See the [section below](#migration-tool-options) for more details on the options and the sample output.
1. `pv-migrator --pvc=<pvc-name> --pvc-ns=<pvc-namespace> --destination-sc=<storageclass-name-to-migrate-in> --rook-ns=<rook-ceph> --ceph-cluster-ns=<ceph-cluster-namespace>`
4. Start the application pods which were stopped in step 1.

## Migration Tool Options

These are the options for converting a single PVC. For more options, see the [tool documentation](https://github.com/ceph/persistent-volume-migrator), for example to convert all PVCs automatically that belong to the same storage class.

1. `--pvc`: **required**: reads name of the pvc to migrate
2. `--pvc-ns`: **required**: reads the namespace of the PVC which is going to migrate
3. `--destination-sc`: **required**: read the name of the storageclass in which you want mirgrate.
4. `--rook-ns`: **optional** namespace where the rook operator is running. **default: rook-ceph**.
5. `--ceph-cluster-ns`: **optional** namespace where the ceph cluster is running. **default: rook-ceph**.

```console
pv-migrator --pvc=rbd-pvc --pvc-ns=default --destination-sc=csi-rook-ceph-block

After running above command you should see something similar to this output
