OpenStack Pike : Use Cinder Storage (Multi-BackEnds)2017/09/17

 
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 LAN, 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@storage:~#
apt-get -y install nfs-common
[root@storage ~]#
vi /etc/idmapd.conf
# line 5: uncomment and change to the own domain name

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

enabled_backends = lvm,nfs

# add follows to the end
[lvm]
iscsi_helper = lioadm
# vlume group name
volume_group = vg_volume01
# IP address of Storage Node
iscsi_ip_address = 10.0.0.50
volume_driver = cinder.volume.drivers.lvm.LVMVolumeDriver
volumes_dir = $state_path/volumes
iscsi_protocol = iscsi

[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@storage:~#
vi /etc/cinder/nfs_shares
# create new : specify NFS shared directories

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

root@storage:~#
chgrp cinder /etc/cinder/nfs_shares

root@storage:~#
systemctl restart cinder-volume

root@storage:~#
chown -R cinder. /var/lib/cinder/mnt_nfs
[4] Configure Compute Node.
root@node01:~#
apt-get -y install nfs-common
root@node01:~#
vi /etc/idmapd.conf
# line 5: uncomment and change to the own domain name

Domain =
srv.world
root@node01:~#
vi /etc/nova/nova.conf
# add follows to the end

[cinder]
os_region_name = RegionOne
root@node01:~#
systemctl restart nova-compute

[5] Create volume types. 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)#
