Sangfor CSI plugin

EduardoOliveira Lv1Posted Apr-30-2026 22:35

Hello team,

Hope you are fine!

I have a customer that currently run his k8s on rancher and currently uses the VSPHERE CSI to uses pv on vmware datastore, he doesnt own any tanzu or vcf license.

I am proposing a scenario for this customer using only the Advanced Bundle (aSAN included, no SKE). Is my customer going to use the sangfor csi to create and attach his pvc or he needs the ske license and migrate the workload from rancher to ske?

Regards

For your customer to use the Sangfor CSI plugin to create and attach Persistent Volume Claims (PVCs) in Kubernetes, the Sangfor Kubernetes Engine (SKE) must be activated and deployed as a Kubernetes cluster. The required SKE CSI plugin is installed within the SKE Kubernetes cluster to enable this functionality. This means that without the SKE license and deployment, the Sangfor CSI plugin for PVC management is not available.

Since your customer is currently running Kubernetes on Rancher and using the vSphere CSI for VMware datastore, to use Sangfor's CSI for PVCs, they would need to migrate their workload to an SKE cluster where the Sangfor CSI plugin is installed and active.

Therefore, with only the Advanced Bundle (which includes aSAN but no SKE), your customer cannot use the Sangfor CSI plugin for PVCs. They would need the SKE license and to migrate their workloads from Rancher to SKE to utilize Sangfor CSI for persistent storage in Kubernetes.
