## Step-by-Step
### Set up a Fibre Channel Target
Using your Fibre Channel SAN Zone manager you must allocate and mask LUNs so that all hosts in the Kubernetes cluster can access them
### Prepare nodes in your Kubernetes cluster
You will need to install and configured a Fibre Channel initiator on the hosts within your Kubernetes cluster.
### Create a Pod using Fibre Channel persistent storage
Create a pod manifest based on [fc.yaml](fc.yaml). You will need to provide *targetWWNs* (array of Fibre Channel target's World Wide Names), *lun*, and the type of the filesystem that has been created on the LUN if it is not _ext4_
Once you have created a pod manifest you can deploy it by running:
```console
kubectl apply -f ./your_new_pod.yaml
```
You can then confirm that the pod hase been sucessfully deployed by running `kubectl get pod fibre-channel-example-pod -o wide`
```console
# kubectl get pod fibre-channel-example-pod -o wide
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE IP NODE NOMINATED NODE READINESS GATES
fibre-channel-example-pod 1/1 READY 0 1m8s 192.168.172.11 node0 <none> <none>
```
If you connect to the console on the Kubernetes node that the pod has been assigned to you can see that the volume is mounted to the pod by running `mount | grep /var/lib/kubelet/plugins/kubernetes.io/fc/`
```console
# mount | grep /var/lib/kubelet/plugins/kubernetes.io/fc/
/dev/mapper/360a98000324669436c2b45666c567946 on /var/lib/kubelet/plugins/kubernetes.io/fc/500a0982991b8dc5-lun-2 type ext4 (relatime,seclabel,stripe=16,data=ordered)
```
## Multipath Considerations
To leverage multiple paths for block storage, it is important to perform
multipath configuration on the host.
If your distribution does not provide `/etc/multipath.conf`, then you can
either use the following minimalistic one:
```
defaults {
find_multipaths yes
user_friendly_names yes
}
```
or create a new one by running:
```console
$ mpathconf --enable
