OpenStack Newton : Use Cinder Storage (Multi-Backend)
2016/11/20
 
It's possible to use Virtual Storages provided by Cinder if an Instance needs more disks.
Configure Virtual storage with NFS and GlusterFS Multi-Backend on here.

[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]
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".
[3] Configure Storage Node.
root@storage:~#
apt-get -y install nfs-common glusterfs-client
root@storage:~#
vi /etc/cinder/cinder.conf
# add follows in the [DEFAULT] section

enabled_backends = nfs,glusterfs
# add to the end

[nfs]
volume_driver = cinder.volume.drivers.nfs.NfsDriver
volume_backend_name = NFS
nfs_shares_config = /etc/cinder/nfs_shares
nfs_mount_point_base = $state_path/mnt_nfs
[glusterfs]
volume_driver = cinder.volume.drivers.glusterfs.GlusterfsDriver
volume_backend_name = GlusterFS
glusterfs_shares_config = /etc/cinder/glusterfs_shares
glusterfs_mount_point_base = $state_path/mnt_glusterfs
root@storage:~#
vi /etc/cinder/nfs_shares
# create new : specify NFS shared directories

nfs.srv.world:/storage
root@storage:~#
vi /etc/cinder/glusterfs_shares
# create new : specify GlusterFS volumes

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

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

root@storage:~#
systemctl restart cinder-volume

[4] Configure Compute Node to mount NFS and GlusterFS volumes.
root@node01:~#
apt-get -y install nfs-common glusterfs-client
root@node01:~#
vi /etc/nova/nova.conf
# add to the end

[cinder]
os_region_name = RegionOne
root@node01:~#
systemctl restart nova-compute

[5] Create volume types. 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)#
