Install and configure a storage node
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Prerequisites
-------------
Before you install and configure the Block Storage service on the
storage node, you must prepare the storage device.
.. note::
Perform these steps on the storage node.
#. Install the supporting utility packages:
* Install the LVM packages:
.. code-block:: console
# yum install lvm2 device-mapper-persistent-data
.. end
* This is not required for CentOS 8 or later, which comes with a
version of LVM that does not use the lvmetad service:
.. code-block:: console
# systemctl enable lvm2-lvmetad.service
# systemctl start lvm2-lvmetad.service
.. end
.. note::
Some distributions include LVM by default.
#. Create the LVM physical volume ``/dev/sdb``:
.. code-block:: console
# pvcreate /dev/sdb
Physical volume "/dev/sdb" successfully created
.. end
#. Create the LVM volume group ``cinder-volumes``:
.. code-block:: console
# vgcreate cinder-volumes /dev/sdb
Volume group "cinder-volumes" successfully created
.. end
The Block Storage service creates logical volumes in this volume group.
#. Only instances can access Block Storage volumes. However, the
underlying operating system manages the devices associated with
the volumes. By default, the LVM volume scanning tool scans the
``/dev`` directory for block storage devices that
contain volumes. If projects use LVM on their volumes, the scanning
tool detects these volumes and attempts to cache them which can cause
a variety of problems with both the underlying operating system
and project volumes. You must reconfigure LVM to scan only the devices
that contain the ``cinder-volumes`` volume group. Edit the
``/etc/lvm/lvm.conf`` file and complete the following actions:
* In the ``devices`` section, add a filter that accepts the
``/dev/sdb`` device and rejects all other devices:
.. path /etc/lvm/lvm.conf
.. code-block:: bash
devices {
...
filter = [ "a/sdb/", "r/.*/"]
.. end
Each item in the filter array begins with ``a`` for **accept** or
``r`` for **reject** and includes a regular expression for the
device name. The array must end with ``r/.*/`` to reject any
remaining devices. You can use the :command:`vgs -vvvv` command
to test filters.
.. warning::
If your storage nodes use LVM on the operating system disk, you
must also add the associated device to the filter. For example,
if the ``/dev/sda`` device contains the operating system:
.. ignore_path /etc/lvm/lvm.conf
.. code-block:: ini
filter = [ "a/sda/", "a/sdb/", "r/.*/"]
.. end
Similarly, if your compute nodes use LVM on the operating
system disk, you must also modify the filter in the
``/etc/lvm/lvm.conf`` file on those nodes to include only
the operating system disk. For example, if the ``/dev/sda``
device contains the operating system:
.. path /etc/openstack-dashboard/local_settings.py
.. code-block:: ini
filter = [ "a/sda/", "r/.*/"]
.. end
Install and configure components
--------------------------------
#. Install the packages:
.. code-block:: console
# yum install openstack-cinder targetcli
.. end
#. Edit the ``/etc/cinder/cinder.conf`` file
and complete the following actions:
* In the ``[database]`` section, configure database access:
.. path /etc/cinder/cinder.conf
.. code-block:: ini
[database]
# ...
connection = mysql+pymysql://cinder:CINDER_DBPASS@controller/cinder
.. end
Replace ``CINDER_DBPASS`` with the password you chose for
the Block Storage database.
* In the ``[DEFAULT]`` section, configure ``RabbitMQ``
message queue access:
.. path /etc/cinder/cinder.conf
.. code-block:: ini
[DEFAULT]
# ...
transport_url = rabbit://openstack:RABBIT_PASS@controller
.. end
Replace ``RABBIT_PASS`` with the password you chose for
the ``openstack`` account in ``RabbitMQ``.
* In the ``[DEFAULT]`` and ``[keystone_authtoken]`` sections,
configure Identity service access:
.. path /etc/cinder/cinder.conf
.. code-block:: ini
[DEFAULT]
# ...
auth_strategy = keystone
[keystone_authtoken]
# ...
www_authenticate_uri = http://controller:5000
auth_url = http://controller:5000
memcached_servers = controller:11211
auth_type = password
project_domain_name = default
user_domain_name = default
project_name = service
username = cinder
password = CINDER_PASS
.. end
Replace ``CINDER_PASS`` with the password you chose for the
``cinder`` user in the Identity service.
.. note::
Comment out or remove any other options in the
``[keystone_authtoken]`` section.
* In the ``[DEFAULT]`` section, configure the ``my_ip`` option:
.. path /etc/cinder/cinder.conf
.. code-block:: ini
[DEFAULT]
# ...
my_ip = MANAGEMENT_INTERFACE_IP_ADDRESS
.. end
Replace ``MANAGEMENT_INTERFACE_IP_ADDRESS`` with the IP address
of the management network interface on your storage node,
typically 10.0.0.41 for the first node in the
`example architecture <https://docs.openstack.org/install-guide/overview.html#example-architecture>`_.
* In the ``[lvm]`` section, configure the LVM back end with the
LVM driver, ``cinder-volumes`` volume group, iSCSI protocol,
and appropriate iSCSI service. If the ``[lvm]`` section does not exist,
create it:
.. path /etc/cinder/cinder.conf
.. code-block:: ini
[lvm]
volume_driver = cinder.volume.drivers.lvm.LVMVolumeDriver
volume_group = cinder-volumes
target_protocol = iscsi
target_helper = lioadm
.. end
* In the ``[DEFAULT]`` section, enable the LVM back end:
.. path /etc/cinder/cinder.conf
.. code-block:: ini
[DEFAULT]
# ...
enabled_backends = lvm
.. end
.. note::
Back-end names are arbitrary. As an example, this guide
uses the name of the driver as the name of the back end.
* In the ``[DEFAULT]`` section, configure the location of the
Image service API:
.. path /etc/cinder/cinder.conf
.. code-block:: ini
[DEFAULT]
# ...
glance_api_servers = http://controller:9292
.. end
* In the ``[oslo_concurrency]`` section, configure the lock path:
.. path /etc/cinder/cinder.conf
.. code-block:: ini
[oslo_concurrency]
# ...
lock_path = /var/lib/cinder/tmp
.. end
Finalize installation
---------------------
* Start the Block Storage volume service including its dependencies
and configure them to start when the system boots:
.. code-block:: console
# systemctl enable openstack-cinder-volume.service target.service
# systemctl start openstack-cinder-volume.service target.service
.. end
