OpenStack Xena : Use Cinder Storage (LVM)2021/11/23 |
|
It's possible to use Virtual Storages provided by Cinder if an Instance needs more disks.
Configure Virtual storage with LVM backend on here.
It needs there are some free spaces on disks of Storage Node.

| [1] | Create a volume group for Cinder on Storage Node. |
|
[root@storage ~]# pvcreate /dev/sdb1 Physical volume "/dev/sdb1" successfully created [root@storage ~]# vgcreate -s 32M vg_volume01 /dev/sdb1 Volume group "vg_volume01" successfully created |
| [2] | Configure Cinder Volume on Storage Node. |
|
[root@storage ~]#
vi /etc/cinder/cinder.conf # add follows into [DEFAULT] section enabled_backends = lvm # add follows to the end [lvm] target_helper = lioadm target_protocol = iscsi # IP address of Storage Node target_ip_address = 10.0.0.50 # volume group name just created volume_group = vg_volume01 volume_driver = cinder.volume.drivers.lvm.LVMVolumeDriver volumes_dir = $state_path/volumes systemctl restart openstack-cinder-volume |
| [3] | On Storage Node, If Firewalld is running, allow service ports. |
|
[root@storage ~]# firewall-cmd --add-service=iscsi-target success [root@storage ~]# firewall-cmd --runtime-to-permanent success |
| [4] | Configure Nova on Compute Node. |
|
[root@node01 ~]#
vi /etc/nova/nova.conf # add to the end [cinder] os_region_name = RegionOne
[root@node01 ~]#
systemctl restart openstack-nova-compute
# if SELinux enabled, change policy like follows
[root@node01 ~]#
vi iscsiadm.te # create new
module iscsiadm 1.0;
require {
type iscsid_t;
class capability dac_override;
}
#============= iscsid_t ==============
allow iscsid_t self:capability dac_override;
checkmodule -m -M -o iscsiadm.mod iscsiadm.te [root@node01 ~]# semodule_package --outfile iscsiadm.pp --module iscsiadm.mod [root@node01 ~]# semodule -i iscsiadm.pp |
| [5] | Login as a common user you'd like to add volumes to own instances. For example, create a virtual disk [disk01] with 10GB. It's OK to work on any node. (example below is on Control Node) |

| [6] | Attach the virtual disk to an Instance. For the example below, the disk is connected as [/dev/vdb]. It's possible to use it as a storage to create a file system on it. |
