OpenStack Mitaka : Use Cinder Storage (GlusterFS)
2016/06/05
 
It's possible to use Virtual Storages provided by Cinder if an Instance needs more disks.
Configure Virtual storage with GlusterFS backend on here.

[1]
GlusterFS server is required to be running on your LAN, refer to here.
This example uses a replication volume "vol_replica" provided by "glfs01" and "glfs02".
[2] Configure Storage Node.
root@storage:~#
apt-get -y install glusterfs-client
root@storage:~#
vi /etc/cinder/cinder.conf
# add follows in the [DEFAULT] section

enabled_backends = glusterfs
# add follwos to the end

[glusterfs]
volume_driver = cinder.volume.drivers.glusterfs.GlusterfsDriver
glusterfs_shares_config = /etc/cinder/glusterfs_shares
glusterfs_mount_point_base = $state_path/mnt_gluster
root@storage:~#
vi /etc/cinder/glusterfs_shares
# create new : specify GlusterFS volumes

glfs01.srv.world:/vol_replica
root@storage:~#
chmod 640 /etc/cinder/glusterfs_shares

root@storage:~#
chgrp cinder /etc/cinder/glusterfs_shares

root@storage:~#
systemctl restart cinder-volume

[3] Configure Compute Node to mount GlusterFS volume.
root@node01:~#
apt-get -y install glusterfs-client
root@node01:~#
vi /etc/nova/nova.conf
# add follows in the [DEFAULT] section

volume_api_class = nova.volume.cinder.API
root@node01:~#
systemctl restart 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
root@dlp ~(keystone)#
cinder create --display_name disk01 10

[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.
