OpenStack Dalmatian : How to use Manila (Local Device)2024/10/15

 

This is How to use OpenStack Shared File System (Manila).

This example is based on the environment like follows.

For example, Configure local block device as shared storage on Storage Node and use it from Instances.
Therefore, it needs there is a free block device on Storage Node.

+-----------------------+  +-----------------------+  +-----------------------+

[1] Configure Storage Node.
[root@network ~]#
dnf -y install nfs-utils nfs4-acl-tools
# create a volume for Manila on free block device

[root@network ~]#
pvcreate /dev/sdc1

  Physical volume "/dev/sdc1" successfully created
[root@network ~]#
vgcreate manila-volumes /dev/sdc1

  Volume group "manila-volumes" successfully created
[root@network ~]#
vi /etc/manila/manila.conf
# add follows into the [DEFAULT] section

enabled_share_backends = lvm
# add to last line

[lvm]
share_backend_name = LVM
share_driver = manila.share.drivers.lvm.LVMShareDriver
driver_handles_share_servers = False
lvm_share_volume_group = manila-volumes
lvm_share_export_ips = $my_ip
[root@network ~]#
systemctl enable --now openstack-manila-share nfs-server
[2] Create default share type.
It's OK to work on any node. (example below is on Control Node)
