Overview

Each apache vhost has a section in the puppet manifest for the static host. Some of the vhosts hold large amounts of data; Cinder volumes and LVM are used to manage those.

Adding a New Device

If the main volume group doesn't have enough space for what you want to do, this is how you can add a new volume.

Log into ci-puppetmaster.openstack.org and run:

. ~root/cinder-venv/bin/activate
. ~root/ci-launch/cinder.sh

nova list
cinder list

Add a new cinder volume (substitute the next number in series for NN):

cinder create --display-name "static.openstack.org/mainNN" 1024
nova volume-attach <server id> <volume id> auto

On static.openstack.org, create the partition table:

DEVICE=/dev/xvdX
sudo parted $DEVICE mklabel msdos mkpart primary 0% 100% set 1 lvm on
sudo pvcreate ${DEVICE}1

It should show up in pvs:

$ sudo pvs
  PV         VG   Fmt  Attr PSize    PFree
  /dev/xvdX1      lvm2 a-   1024.00g 1024.00g

Add it to the main volume group:
```
sudo vgextend main ${DEVICE}1
```

Creating a New Logical Volume

Make sure there is enough space in the volume group:

$ sudo vgs
  VG   #PV #LV #SN Attr   VSize VFree
  main   4   2   0 wz--n- 2.00t 347.98g

If not, see Adding a New Device.

Create the new logical volume and initialize the filesystem:

NAME=newvolumename
sudo lvcreate -L1500GB -n $NAME main

sudo mkfs.ext4 -m 0 -j -L $NAME /dev/main/$NAME
sudo tune2fs -i 0 -c 0 /dev/main/$NAME

Be sure to add it to /etc/fstab.
