OpenStack Liberty : Use Cinder Storage(NFS)
2015/11/16 |
It's possible to use Virtual Storages provided by Cinder
if an Instance needs more disks.
Configure Virtual storage with NFS backend on here.
+------------------+ 10.0.0.50| [ Storage Node ] | +------------------+ +-----+ Cinder-Volume | | [ Control Node ] | | eth0| | +--------------+ | Keystone |10.0.0.30 | +------------------+ 10.0.0.40| | | Glance |------------+------------------------------------+ NFS Server | | Nova API |eth0 | +------------------+ eth0| | | Cinder API | | eth0| [ Compute Node ] | +--------------+ +------------------+ +-----+ Nova Compute | 10.0.0.51| | +------------------+ |
[1] |
NFS server is required to be running on your LAN, refer to here.
On this example, configure "/storage" directory on "nfs.srv.world" as a shared directory. |
[2] | Configure Storage Node. |
[root@storage ~]#
yum -y install nfs-utils
[root@storage ~]#
vi /etc/idmapd.conf # line 5: uncomment and change to the own domain name Domain = srv.world
[root@storage ~]#
vi /etc/cinder/cinder.conf # add follows in the [DEFAULT] section enabled_backends = nfs # add follows to the end [nfs] volume_driver = cinder.volume.drivers.nfs.NfsDriver nfs_shares_config = /etc/cinder/nfs_shares nfs_mount_point_base = $state_path/mnt
[root@storage ~]#
vi /etc/cinder/nfs_shares # create new : specify NFS shared directory nfs.srv.world:/storage chmod 640 /etc/cinder/nfs_shares [root@storage ~]# chgrp cinder /etc/cinder/nfs_shares [root@storage ~]# systemctl restart openstack-cinder-volume |
[3] | Change Nova settings to mount NFS. |
[root@node01 ~]#
yum -y install nfs-utils
[root@node01 ~]#
vi /etc/idmapd.conf # line 5: uncomment and change to the own domain name Domain = srv.world
[root@node01 ~]#
vi /etc/nova/nova.conf # add follows in the [DEFAULT] section osapi_volume_listen=0.0.0.0 volume_api_class=nova.volume.cinder.API systemctl restart openstack-nova-compute |
[4] | For example, create a virtual disk "disk01" with 10GB. It's OK to work on any node. (This example is on Control Node) |
# set environment variable first [root@dlp ~(keystone)]# echo "export OS_VOLUME_API_VERSION=2" >> ~/keystonerc [root@dlp ~(keystone)]# source ~/keystonerc

[5] | Attach the virtual disk to an Instance. For the exmaple below, the disk is connected as "/dev/vdb". It's possible to use it as a storage to create a file system on it. |
