1 - Uninstalling Huawei CSI on Kubernetes, OpenShift, and Tanzu

This section describes how to uninstall Huawei CSI on the Kubernetes, OpenShift, and Tanzu platforms.

Procedure

Use a remote access tool, such as PuTTY, to log in to any master node in the Kubernetes cluster through the management IP address.
Run the following command to uninstall Huawei CSI. In the command, helm-huawei-csi indicates the custom Helm chart name and huawei-csi indicates the namespace where the Helm chart resides. This command will uninstall the huawei-csi-controller, huawei-csi-node, and RBAC resources of Huawei CSI.
```
helm uninstall helm-huawei-csi -n huawei-csi
```
After the uninstallation command is executed, you need to check whether the uninstallation is successful. In the preceding command, huawei-csi indicates the namespace where the chart is located.
```
helm list -n huawei-csi
```
The following is an example of the command output. If the command output is empty, the service is successfully uninstalled.
```
NAME    NAMESPACE       REVISION        UPDATED STATUS  CHART   APP VERSION
```
Uninstall the huawei-csi-host-info object. For details, see Uninstalling the huawei-csi-host-info Object.
Uninstall the webhook resource. For details, see Uninstalling a Webhook Resource.
(Optional) Uninstall the snapshot-dependent component service. For details, see Uninstalling the Snapshot-Dependent Component Service.
(Optional) Uninstall the Lease resource. For details, see Uninstalling a Lease Resource.

2 - Uninstalling Huawei CSI on CCE or CCE Agile

This section describes how to uninstall Huawei CSI on the CCE or CCE Agile platform. The following uses CCE Agile v22.3.2 as an example.

Procedure

Log in to the CCE Agile platform.
On the home page, choose Charts > Releases. The Releases page is displayed.
Select a Huawei CSI release and click Uninstall. In the displayed dialog box, click OK.
Uninstall the huawei-csi-host-info object. For details, see Uninstalling the huawei-csi-host-info Object.
Uninstall the webhook resource. For details, see Uninstalling a Webhook Resource.
(Optional) Uninstall the snapshot-dependent component service. For details, see Uninstalling the Snapshot-Dependent Component Service.

3 - Uninstalling CSI-Dependent Component Services

This section describes how to uninstall the CSI-dependent component services.

Uninstalling the huawei-csi-host-info Object

Secret object huawei-csi-host-info stores the initiator information about each node in the cluster, for example, iSCSI initiators. When you run the helm uninstall command, the resource will not be uninstalled. To uninstall the resource, perform the following steps:

Use a remote access tool, such as PuTTY, to log in to any master node in the Kubernetes cluster through the management IP address.
Run the following command to delete the Secret object. huawei-csi-host-info is the name of the Secret object, and huawei-csi is the namespace where the Secret object is located.
```
kubectl delete secret huawei-csi-host-info -n huawei-csi
```
Run the following command to check whether the Secret object is successfully uninstalled.
```
kubectl get secret huawei-csi-host-info -n huawei-csi 
```
The following is an example of the command output. If NotFound is displayed in the command output, the huawei-csi-host-info object is successfully uninstalled.
```
Error from server (NotFound): secrets "huawei-csi-host-info" not found
```

Uninstalling a Webhook Resource

The webhook resource named storage-backend-controller.xuanwu.huawei.io is used to verify the backend key information and connectivity with the storage. When you run the helm uninstall command, the resource will not be uninstalled. To uninstall the resource, perform the following steps:

Use a remote access tool, such as PuTTY, to log in to any master node in the Kubernetes cluster through the management IP address.

Run the following command to query the webhook-dependent component service.

kubectl get validatingwebhookconfigurations.admissionregistration.k8s.io storage-backend-controller.xuanwu.huawei.io

The following is an example of the command output.

NAME                                          WEBHOOKS   AGE
storage-backend-controller.xuanwu.huawei.io   1          12d

Run the following command to uninstall the webhook-dependent component service.

kubectl delete validatingwebhookconfigurations.admissionregistration.k8s.io storage-backend-controller.xuanwu.huawei.io

Run the following command to check whether the service is successfully uninstalled. If the command output is empty, the uninstallation is successful.
```
kubectl get validatingwebhookconfigurations.admissionregistration.k8s.io storage-backend-controller.xuanwu.huawei.io
```

Uninstalling the Snapshot-Dependent Component Service

Do not uninstall the snapshot-dependent component service when snapshots exist. Otherwise, Kubernetes will automatically delete all user snapshots and they cannot be restored. Exercise caution when performing this operation. For details, see Delete a CustomResourceDefinition.
Do not uninstall the snapshot-dependent component service during the CSI upgrade.

Scenario Description

Currently, Huawei CSI uses the snapshot feature.
Currently, only Huawei CSI is available in the Kubernetes cluster, and Huawei CSI is no longer used.
Before the uninstallation, ensure that no VolumeSnapshot resource managed by Huawei CSI exists in the Kubernetes cluster.

Procedure

Use a remote access tool, such as PuTTY, to log in to any master node in the Kubernetes cluster through the management IP address.

Run the following command to uninstall the snapshot-dependent component service.

kubectl delete crd volumesnapshotclasses.snapshot.storage.k8s.io volumesnapshotcontents.snapshot.storage.k8s.io volumesnapshots.snapshot.storage.k8s.io

Run the following command to check whether the service is successfully uninstalled. If the command output is empty, the uninstallation is successful.
```
kubectl get crd | grep snapshot.storage.k8s.io
```

Uninstalling a Lease Resource

If the value of the controller.controllerCount configuration item in the values.yaml file is greater than 1, huawei-csi-controller will be deployed in multi-copy mode. The multiple copies of huawei-csi-controller are implemented using the LeaderElection mechanism of Kubernetes. This mechanism creates a Lease object to store the current Holder information. When you run the helm uninstall command, the resource will not be uninstalled. To uninstall the resource, perform the following steps. If the value of controller.controllerCount is 1, you can skip the following steps. For details about the configuration item, see Table 2.

Use a remote access tool, such as PuTTY, to log in to any master node in the Kubernetes cluster through the management IP address.

Run the following command to query the Lease information.

kubectl get lease -n huawei-csi

The following is an example of the command output.

NAME                                         HOLDER    AGE
csi-huawei-com                               node-1    24d
external-attacher-leader-csi-huawei-com      node-1    24d
external-resizer-csi-huawei-com              node-1    24d
external-snapshotter-leader-csi-huawei-com   node-1    24d
snapshot-controller-leader                   node-1    24d
storage-backend-controller                   node-1    24d
huawei-csi-extender                          node-1    24d

Run the following command to uninstall the Lease resource.

kubectl delete lease -n huawei-csi csi-huawei-com external-attacher-leader-csi-huawei-com external-resizer-csi-huawei-com external-snapshotter-leader-csi-

Run the following command to check whether the uninstallation is successful.
```
kubectl get lease -n huawei-csi
```
The following is an example of the command output. If the command output is empty, the uninstallation is successful.
```
No resources found in huawei-csi namespace.
```
