= Adding bare-metal nodes
[role="_abstract"]
Adding bare-metal nodes to an {product-title} cluster on vSphere is supported as a Technology Preview feature.
However, if you add bare-metal nodes, you must remove the vSphere CSI Driver, otherwise the cluster is marked as degraded. For information about how to remove the driver and the consequences of doing this, see Section _Disabling and enabling storage on vSphere_.
For information about how to add bare-metal nodes, under _Additional resources_, see Section _Adding bare-metal compute machines to a vSphere cluster_.

{product-title} can provision persistent volumes (PVs) using the Container Storage Interface (CSI) VMware vSphere driver for Virtual Machine Disk (VMDK) volumes.
Familiarity with xref:../../storage/understanding-persistent-storage.adoc#understanding-persistent-storage[persistent storage] and xref:../../storage/container_storage_interface/persistent-storage-csi.adoc#persistent-storage-csi[configuring CSI volumes] is recommended when working with a CSI Operator and driver.

* *vSphere CSI Driver Operator*: The Operator provides a storage class, called `thin-csi`, that you can use to create persistent volumes claims (PVCs). The vSphere CSI Driver Operator supports dynamic volume provisioning by allowing storage volumes to be created on-demand, eliminating the need for cluster administrators to pre-provision storage. You can disable this default storage class if desired (see xref:../../storage/container_storage_interface/persistent-storage-csi-sc-manage.adoc#persistent-storage-csi-sc-manage[Managing the default storage class]).

In {product-title} 4.20, the driver version is 3.5.0 The vSphere CSI driver supports all of the file systems supported by the underlying Red Hat Core operating system release, including XFS and Ext4. For more information about supported file systems, see link:https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/red_hat_enterprise_linux/9/html/managing_file_systems/overview-of-available-file-systems_managing-file-systems[Overview of available file systems].
