OpenStack Liberty : Use Cinder Storage(GlusterFS)
2015/11/17 |
It's possible to use the Virtual Storage provided by Cinder
if an Instance needs more disks.
Configure Virtual storage with GlusterFS backend on here.
+------------------+ +------------------+ 10.0.0.50| [ Storage Node ] | 10.0.0.61| | +------------------+ +-----+ Cinder-Volume | +-----+ GlusterFS #1 | | [ Control Node ] | | eth0| | | eth0| | | Keystone |10.0.0.30 | +------------------+ | +------------------+ | Glance |------------+------------------------------+ | Nova API |eth0 | +------------------+ | +------------------+ | Cinder API | | eth0| [ Compute Node ] | | eth0| | +------------------+ +-----+ Nova Compute | +-----+ GlusterFS #2 | 10.0.0.51| | 10.0.0.62| | +------------------+ +------------------+ |
[1] |
GlusterFS server is required to be running on your LAN, refer to here.
This example uses a replication volume "vol_replica" provided by "gfs01" and "gfs02". |
[2] | Configure Storage Node. |
# install from EPEL
[root@storage ~]#
yum --enablerepo=epel -y install glusterfs glusterfs-fuse
[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 gfs01.srv.world:/vol_replica chmod 640 /etc/cinder/glusterfs_shares [root@storage ~]# chgrp cinder /etc/cinder/glusterfs_shares [root@storage ~]# systemctl restart openstack-cinder-volume |
[3] | Configure Compute Node to mount GlusterFS volume. |
# install from EPEL
[root@node01 ~]#
yum --enablerepo=epel -y install glusterfs glusterfs-fuse
[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. |
