OpenStack Xena : Use Cinder Storage (LVM)2021/10/07

 
It's possible to use Virtual Storages provided by Cinder if an Instance needs more disks.
Configure Virtual storage with LVM backend on here.
It needs there are some free spaces on disks of Storage Node.

[1] Create a volume group for Cinder on Storage Node.
root@storage:~#
pvcreate /dev/sdb1

Physical volume "/dev/sdb1" successfully created
root@storage:~#
vgcreate -s 32M vg_volume01 /dev/sdb1

Volume group "vg_volume01" successfully created
[2] Configure Cinder Volume on Storage Node.
root@storage:~#
apt -y install targetcli-fb python3-rtslib-fb
root@storage:~#
vi /etc/cinder/cinder.conf
# add the value to [enabled_backends] param

enabled_backends =
lvm
# add to the end

[lvm]
target_helper = lioadm
target_protocol = iscsi
# IP address of Storage Node
target_ip_address = 10.0.0.50
# volume group name created on [1]
volume_group = vg_volume01
volume_driver = cinder.volume.drivers.lvm.LVMVolumeDriver
volumes_dir = $state_path/volumes

root@storage:~#
systemctl restart cinder-volume
[3] Configure Nova on Compute Node.
root@node01:~#
vi /etc/nova/nova.conf
# add to the end

[cinder]
os_region_name = RegionOne
root@node01:~#
systemctl restart nova-compute
[4] Login as a common user you'd like to add volumes to own instances.
For example, create a virtual disk [disk01] with 10GB.
It's OK to work on any node. (example below is on Control Node)
# set environment variable

ubuntu@dlp ~(keystone)$
echo "export OS_VOLUME_API_VERSION=3" >> ~/keystonerc

ubuntu@dlp ~(keystone)$
source ~/keystonerc
ubuntu@dlp ~(keystone)$
openstack volume create --size 10 disk01

[5] Attach the virtual disk to an Instance.
For the exmaple below, the disk is connected as [/dev/vdb]. It's possible to use it as a storage to create a file system on it.
