# Overview
|
|
|
|
This charm exists to provide an example backend for Manila, for the purpose
|
|
of test and reference. It is NOT intended for production use in any case.
|
|
|
|
It configures the generic backend in the related manila charm in an
|
|
OpenStack cloud. This provides NFS shares using Cinder as a backing store. It
|
|
should be used for testing and development purposes only.
|
|
|
|
# Usage
|
|
|
|
The charm relies on the principal manila charm, and is a subordinate to it. It
|
|
provides configuration data to the manila-share service (which is provided by
|
|
the manila charm with a role that includes 'share').
|
|
|
|
If multiple, _different_, generic backend configurations are required then the
|
|
`share-backend-name` config option should be used to differentiate between the
|
|
configuration sections.
|
|
|
|
_Note_: this subordinate charm requests that manila configure the nova, neutron
|
|
and cinder sections that the generic driver needs to launch NFS share instances
|
|
that provide NFS/CIFS services within their tenant networks. The manila charm
|
|
provides the _main_ manila service username/password to this charm to enable it
|
|
to provide those configuration sections.
