This document is an operations guide for managing an OpenShift environment that uses Portworx and FlashArray after deployment. Its core purpose is to give administrators a practical framework for keeping the platform healthy, operating virtual machines reliably, and making sure storage and recovery workflows are handled in a consistent way.
The guide is organized around the main responsibilities of day-to-day platform operations: checking overall system health, managing VM lifecycle tasks, defining and using storage policies, handling snapshots and recovery, supporting both VMs and containers on the same platform, monitoring performance and capacity, coordinating maintenance and upgrades, and preparing for backup, disaster recovery, and troubleshooting.
