OpenStack Newton : Cinder Storage (GlusterFS)2016/10/26

 
It's possible to use Virtual Storages provided by Cinder if an Instance needs more disks.
Configure Virtual storage with GlusterFS backend on here.

[1]
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".
[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 follows 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

glfs01.srv.world:/vol_replica
[root@storage ~]#
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 to the end

[cinder]
os_region_name = RegionOne
[root@node01 ~]#
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
[root@dlp ~(keystone)]#
openstack volume create --size 10 disk01

[5] 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.
