OpenStack Juno : Use Virtual Storages(GlusterFS)2015/01/12

 
It's possible to use the Virtual Storage 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. This example uses a replication volume "vol_replica" provided by "gfs01" and "gfs02".
[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

volume_driver=cinder.volume.drivers.glusterfs.GlusterfsDriver
glusterfs_shares_config=/etc/cinder/glusterfs_shares
glusterfs_mount_point_base=/var/lib/cinder/mnt
[root@storage ~]#
vi /etc/cinder/glusterfs_shares
# create new : specify GlusterFS volumes

gfs01.srv.world:/vol_replica
[root@storage ~]#
chmod 640 /etc/cinder/glusterfs_shares

[root@storage ~]#
chgrp cinder /etc/cinder/glusterfs_shares

[root@storage ~]#
mkdir /var/lib/cinder/mnt

[root@storage ~]#
chown cinder. /var/lib/cinder/mnt

[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 in the [DEFAULT] section

volume_drivers="glusterfs=nova.virt.libvirt.volume.LibvirtGlusterfsVolumeDriver"
[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)
[root@dlp ~(keystone)]#
cinder create --display_name disk01 10

[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.
