+# 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 v1.7.8 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 v1.7.8.
+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 cluster/examples/kubernetes/ceph/flex-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. For example, scale the application deployment down to 0: `kubectl scale --replicas=0 deploy/<name>`
+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>`
+4. Start the application pods which were stopped in step 1. For example, scale the application deployment back up: `kubectl scale --replicas=1 deploy/<name>`
+
+## 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**: name of the pvc to migrate
+2. `--pvc-ns`: **required**: namespace in which the target PVC is present.
+3. `--destination-sc`: **required**: name of the ceph-csi storage class in which you want to migrate.
+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**.

+
+## Cleanup Guide
+
+Delete the `flex-migration.yaml` when done using migration tool.
+
+1. `kubectl delete -f cluster/examples/kubernetes/ceph/flex-migrator.yaml`

cluster/examples/kubernetes/ceph/pv-migrator/migrator.yaml → cluster/examples/kubernetes/ceph/flex-migrator.yaml
