OpenStack Pike : Use Cinder Storage (NFS)
2017/09/17 |
It's possible to use Virtual Storages provided by Cinder if an Instance needs more disks.
Configure Virtual storage with NFS backend on here.

NFS server is required to be running on your LAN, refer to here.
On this example, configure [/var/lib/nfs-share] directory on "nfs.srv.world" as a shared directory. |
[2] | Configure Storage Node. |
root@storage:~#
apt-get -y install nfs-common
root@storage:~#
vi /etc/idmapd.conf # line 6: uncomment and change to the own domain name Domain = srv.world
root@storage:~#
vi /etc/cinder/cinder.conf # add the value for enabled_backends 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:/var/lib/nfs-share chmod 640 /etc/cinder/nfs_shares root@storage:~# chgrp cinder /etc/cinder/nfs_shares root@storage:~# systemctl restart cinder-volume root@storage:~# chown -R cinder. /var/lib/cinder/mnt
|
[3] | Change Nova settings on Compute Node to mount NFS. |
root@node01:~#
apt-get -y install nfs-common
root@node01:~#
vi /etc/idmapd.conf # line 6: uncomment and change to the own domain name Domain = srv.world
root@node01:~#
vi /etc/nova/nova.conf # add to the end [cinder] os_region_name = RegionOne 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

[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. |
