OpenStack Havana - Use Virtual Storage(NFS)
2013/10/27
 
It's possible to use Virtual Storage provided by Cinder for Virtual Machine Instance.
This example shows to set to use NFS for Virtual Storage. If you've already set LVM for Virtual Storage, unset it first.
[1]
Configure NFS Server in your LAN first.
This example uses a shared directory "/storage" provided by NFS on "nfs.srv.world".
[2] Configure idmapd
[root@dlp ~(keystone)]#
vi /etc/idmapd.conf
# line 5: uncomment and chnage your domain name

Domain =
srv.world
[root@dlp ~(keystone)]#
/etc/rc.d/init.d/rpcidmapd restart

Stopping RPC idmapd: [ OK ]
Starting RPC idmapd: [ OK ]

[4] For example, create a volume named "disk01", 10GB.
