+# IBM Fusion Access SAN
+
+Official documentation:
+
+* <https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/fusion-software/2.12.0?topic=san-deploying-fusion-access>
+
+Tested with:
+
+|Component|Version|
+|---|---|
+|OpenShift|v4.20.4|
+|OpenShift Virt|v4.20.x|
+|IBM Fussion Access for SAN|2.12.0|
+
+# Prerequisites
+
+## Create an IBMid
+
+<https://www.ibm.com/account/reg/us-en/signup?formid=urx-19776>
+
+## Request a 60day IBM Storage Fusion trail version
+
+<https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/storage-fusion/storage/2.6.0?topic=overview-storage-fusion-trial-version>
+
+## Create an Entitlement key
+
+<https://myibm.ibm.com/products-services/containerlibrary>
+
+## Create an OpenShift cluster
+
+* With at least 3 worker nodes each with ~32 GB memory
+* All nodes need a shared disk. Via iSCSI, FC and KVM
+* OpenShift internal registry is running with storage
+
+!!! warning
+
+    OpenShift internal registry is mandatory because IBM Fusion Access for SAN builds via <TBD> a container image with the kernel module.
+
+    It means you need highly available storage for the internal registry to start highly available storage.
+
+## Install Operator
+
+<https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/fusion-software/2.12.0?topic=san-installing-fusion-access-operator>
+
+## Create a Kubernetes pull secret
+
+with the entitlement key from above:
+
+```shell
+oc create secret -n ibm-fusion-access generic fusion-pullsecret \
+--from-literal=ibm-entitlement-key=<ibm-entitlement-key>
+```
+
+## At this point, there is a demo video available
+
+<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayXgD4e61K4>
+
+<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ayXgD4e61K4?si=27io6kIPJ3obqi2Z" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
+
+## Creating the FusionAccess CR
+
+<https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/fusion-software/2.12.0?topic=san-creating-fusionaccess-cr>
+
+## Creating a storage cluster
+
+<https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/fusion-software/2.12.0?topic=san-creating-storage-cluster>
+
+## Creating a filesystem
+
+<https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/fusion-software/2.12.0?topic=san-creating-filesystem>
+
+# Notes for various lab environments
+
+Add a shared disk to all worker nodes
+
+## Plain KVM envrioment
+
+I deployed via <https://github.com/RedHat-EMEA-SSA-Team/hetzner-ocp4>. Now let's add a shared lvm disk becaus all is running on one node.
+
+```shell
+lvcreate -L1T -n fusion vg0
+```
+
+```shell
+virsh attach-disk  /dev/mapper/vg0-fusion  sdb --type raw --targetbus scsi --cache none --persistent --live --wwn 5000c500155a3456
+
+[root@pluto ~]# virsh attach-disk demo-compute-0 /dev/mapper/vg0-fusion  sdb  --targetbus scsi --cache none --persi
+stent --live --wwn 5000c500155a3456
+Disk attached successfully
+
+[root@pluto ~]# virsh attach-disk demo-compute-1 /dev/mapper/vg0-fusion  sdb  --targetbus scsi --cache none --persi
+stent --live --wwn 5000c500155a3456
+Disk attached successfully
+```
+
+## iSCSI & RHCOS
+
+This is ugly as hel, but works for quick testing.
