OpenStack Caracal : Use Cinder Storage (Multi-BackEnds)2024/08/07

 

It's possible to use Virtual Storages provided by Cinder if an Instance needs more disks.

Configure Virtual storage with LVM and NFS Multi-Backend on here.

[1]

For LVM backend on this example, use a volume group [vg_volume01] for it.

[2]

NFS server is required to be running on your local network, refer to here.
On this example, configure [/var/lib/nfs-share] directory on [nfs.srv.world] as a shared directory.

[3] Configure Storage Node.
[root@network ~]#
dnf -y install nfs-utils
[root@network ~]#
vi /etc/idmapd.conf
# line 5 : uncomment and change to your domain name

Domain =
srv.world
[root@network ~]#
vi /etc/cinder/cinder.conf
# add follows in the [DEFAULT] section

enabled_backends = lvm,nfs

# add follows to last line
[lvm]
target_helper = lioadm
target_protocol = iscsi
target_ip_address = $my_ip
volume_backend_name = LVM
# volume group name created
volume_group = vg_volume01
volume_driver = cinder.volume.drivers.lvm.LVMVolumeDriver
volumes_dir = $state_path/volumes

[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 

[root@network ~]#
vi /etc/cinder/nfs_shares
# create new : specify NFS shared directory
# if set multiple share, write one per line

nfs.srv.world:/var/lib/nfs-share
[root@network ~]#
chmod 640 /etc/cinder/nfs_shares

[root@network ~]#
chgrp cinder /etc/cinder/nfs_shares

[root@network ~]#
systemctl restart openstack-cinder-volume

[root@network ~]#
chown -R cinder:cinder /var/lib/cinder/mnt_nfs

[4] Configure Compute Node.
[root@node01 ~]#
dnf -y install nfs-utils
[root@node01 ~]#
vi /etc/idmapd.conf
# line 5: uncomment and change to your domain name

Domain =
srv.world
[root@node01 ~]#
vi /etc/nova/nova.conf
# add into the [keystone_authtoken] section
[keystone_authtoken]
.....
.....
service_token_roles = service
service_token_roles_required = true

# add to last line
[service_user]
send_service_user_token = true
auth_url = https://dlp.srv.world:5000
auth_type = password
project_domain_name = Default
user_domain_name = Default
project_name = service
username = nova
password = servicepassword
insecure = false

[cinder]
os_region_name = RegionOne

[root@node01 ~]#
systemctl restart openstack-nova-compute
# if SELinux is 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;

[root@node01 ~]#
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] Create volume types. It's OK to work on any node. (This example is on Control Node)
# set environment variable

[root@dlp ~(keystone)]#
echo "export OS_VOLUME_API_VERSION=3" >> ~/keystonerc

[root@dlp ~(keystone)]#
source ~/keystonerc
[root@dlp ~(keystone)]#
