Container Service for Kubernetes:Migrate from FlexVolume to CSI using the csi-compatible-controller component

Last Updated:Sep 27, 2025

The csi-compatible-controller component lets you install and use Container Storage Interface (CSI) components in a cluster that already uses FlexVolume, which enables both storage types to coexist. After you install this component, you can sequentially switch the storage type for your applications to gradually migrate from FlexVolume to CSI. This topic describes how to use the csi-compatible-controller component to perform the migration.

Index

Prepare the environment

Install the csi-compatible-controller component

  1. Log on to the ACK console. In the left navigation pane, click Clusters.

  2. On the Clusters page, find the one you want to manage and click its name. In the navigation pane on the left, click Add-ons.

  3. In the Storage tab of the Component Management page, find the csi-compatible-controller component, click Install, and then click Confirm.

Install the CSI component

After you install the csi-compatible-controller, use the following YAML files to install the Container Storage Interface (CSI). Install csi-plugin and csi-provisioner in sequence. You cannot install CSI from the Add-ons page in the ACK console because the CSI configurations vary based on the Kubernetes version of the ACK cluster. Use the kubectl apply command to apply the YAML files that correspond to your cluster's Kubernetes version.

Note
  • Replace the image region ID in the YAML file. For example, replace cn-hangzhou with the region ID of your cluster.

  • In the following YAML file, replace {{.ClusterID}} with your cluster ID.

ACK clusters that run Kubernetes 1.20 or later

Verify the CSI component

Create a StatefulSet and check that the pod status is running. This verifies that the Container Storage Interface (CSI) component is successfully deployed and the migration environment is ready.

After the components are deployed, you can use both FlexVolume and CSI components in the cluster. Then, you can gradually migrate applications from FlexVolume to CSI.

Switch the storage type used by applications

Migrate all FlexVolume storage used by applications to CSI. After all storage is migrated, you can delete the FlexVolume component.

Step 1: Convert PVCs and PVs to the CSI type

Find all persistent volume claims (PVCs) and persistent volumes (PVs) that are managed by FlexVolume and convert them to be managed by CSI. You can use the Flexvolume2CSI CLI to batch convert multiple PVCs and PVs. For more information, see Use the FlexVolume2CSI CLI to batch convert YAML files.

The following example shows how to convert a FlexVolume PVC and PV to a CSI PVC and PV. You can modify the following CSI template as needed.

apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolume
metadata:
  name: d-bp1bnp9homa0tyv6****
spec:
  accessModes:
  - ReadWriteOnce
  capacity:
    storage: 20Gi
  claimRef:
    apiVersion: v1
    kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
    name: pvc-disk
    namespace: default
  flexVolume:
    driver: alicloud/disk
    fsType: ext4
    options:
      VolumeId: d-bp1bnp9homa0tyv6****
  persistentVolumeReclaimPolicy: Delete
  storageClassName: alicloud-disk-available
  volumeMode: Filesystem
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
metadata:
  name: pvc-disk
spec:
  accessModes:

      storage: 20Gi

apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolume
metadata:
  name: d-bp1bnp9homa0tyv6****
spec:
  storageClassName: "csi-alicloud-disk-topology-alltype"
  capacity:
    storage: 20Gi
  accessModes:
    - ReadWriteOnce
  persistentVolumeReclaimPolicy: Delete
  csi:
    driver: diskplugin.csi.alibabacloud.com
    volumeHandle: d-bp1bnp9homa0tyv6****
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
metadata:
  name: pvc-disk
spec:
  storageClassName: "csi-alicloud-disk-topology-alltype"
  accessModes:
  - ReadWriteOnce
  resources:
    requests:
      storage: 20Gi
  volumeName: d-bp1bnp9homa0tyv6****

Step 2: Switch the reclaim policy

To avoid volume loss, you need to check the PVCs and PVs managed by FlexVolume before the conversion. If the pv.Spec.persistentVolumeReclaimPolicy parameter is set to Delete, change its value to Retain.

apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolume
metadata:
  name: d-bp1bnp9homa0tyv6****
spec:
  accessModes:
  - ReadWriteOnce
  capacity:
    storage: 20Gi
  claimRef:
    apiVersion: v1
    kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
    name: pvc-disk
    namespace: default
  flexVolume:
    driver: alicloud/disk
    fsType: ext4
    options:
      VolumeId: d-bp1bnp9homa0tyv6****
  persistentVolumeReclaimPolicy: **Retain**
  storageClassName: alicloud-disk-available
  volumeMode: Filesystem

Step 3: Switch the storage type for a single application

Follow these steps to change the storage type for an application from FlexVolume to CSI.

  1. Run the following command to scale the number of StatefulSet replicas to 0:

    kubectl scale --replicas=0 sts/sts-test
  2. Run the following commands to delete the FlexVolume PVC and PV from the cluster:

    kubectl delete pvc pvc-disk
    kubectl delete pv d-bp1bnp9homa0tyv6****
  3. Run the following command to create the CSI PVC and PV:

    kuectl apply -f csi-pvc-pv.yaml
  4. Run the following command to scale out the StatefulSet again:

    kubectl scale --replicas=3 sts/sts-test
    Note

    You can use the same method to update the `pvcClaimName` in your deployments.

    You can repeat these steps to change the volume type for other applications in the cluster. After you migrate all applications, you can uninstall FlexVolume. For more information, see Migrate FlexVolume without a storage cluster to CSI.

Manage components

Upgrade the component

After you install the CSI component in a FlexVolume cluster by following the preceding steps, you can obtain the updated YAML file from the text above and apply it to your cluster using the kubectl apply command.

To upgrade components on the Add-ons page in the Container Service console, you must first migrate all FlexVolume PVs and PVCs to CSI. You cannot upgrade components on the Add-ons page if both FlexVolume and CSI are used in the cluster. For more information about the migration, see Migrate FlexVolume without a storage cluster to CSI.

Delete the component

After all storage in the cluster is migrated from FlexVolume to CSI, you can delete the csi-compatible-controller component if the following conditions are met:

  • The FlexVolume component is deleted from the cluster.

  • All PVs of the FlexVolume type are deleted.

  • Ensure that the --enable-controller-attach-detach parameter of the Kubelet is set to true. For more information, see Step 3 and Step 4 in Migrate FlexVolumes without a storage cluster to CSI.
