Conclusion

Congratulations on completing the Portworx Enterprise Deployment and Configuration lab.

Over the course of this lab you:

  • Installed Portworx Enterprise on OpenShift using the Operator catalog and a StorageCluster custom resource, and verified distributed storage health with pxctl

  • Deployed a virtual machine on RWX block storage provisioned by Portworx and observed per-VM storage telemetry in the OpenShift console

  • Performed live VM migration between nodes and verified automatic storage-level failover using STORK

  • Created and restored a VM snapshot, confirming data integrity across the snapshot and restore cycle

  • Configured Autopilot rules for automatic PVC expansion and dynamic I/O control

Next Steps

  • Explore the Portworx documentation for production sizing guidance, multi-cloud replication, and disaster recovery configuration

  • Review OpenShift Virtualization resources for additional VM workload patterns

  • Talk to your Red Hat account team about Portworx Enterprise licensing and support options
