Creating shares with Shared File Systems Option 2 (DHSS = True) --------------------------------------------------------------- Before being able to create a share, manila with the generic driver and the DHSS (``driver_handles_share_servers``) mode enabled requires the definition of at least an image, a network and a share-network for being used to create a share server. For that `back end` configuration, the share server is an instance where NFS shares are served. .. note:: This configuration automatically creates a cinder volume for every share. The cinder volumes are attached to share servers according to the definition of a share network. #. Source the admin credentials to gain access to admin-only CLI commands: .. code-block:: console $ . admin-openrc.sh #. Create a default share type with DHSS enabled. A default share type will allow you to create shares with this driver, without having to specify the share type explicitly during share creation. .. code-block:: console $ manila type-create default_share_type True +----------------------+--------------------------------------+ | Property | Value | +----------------------+--------------------------------------+ | required_extra_specs | driver_handles_share_servers : True | | Name | default_share_type | | Visibility | public | | is_default | - | | ID | 8a35da28-0f74-490d-afff-23664ecd4f01 | | optional_extra_specs | snapshot_support : True | +----------------------+--------------------------------------+ Set this default share type in ``manila.conf`` under the ``[DEFAULT]`` section and restart the ``manila-api`` service before proceeding. Unless you do so, the default share type will not be effective. .. note:: Creating and configuring a default share type is optional. If you wish to use the shared file system service with a variety of share types, where each share creation request could specify a type, please refer to the Share types usage documentation `here _`. #. Create a manila share server image in the Image service. You may skip this step and use any existing image. However, for mounting a share, the service image must contain the NFS packages as appropriate for the operating system. Whatever image you choose to be the service image, be sure to set the configuration values ``service_image_name``, ``service_instance_flavor_id``, ``service_instance_user`` and ``service_instance_password`` in ``manila.conf``. .. note:: Any changes made to ``manila.conf`` while the ``manila-share`` service is running will require a restart of the service to be effective. .. note:: As an alternative to specifying a plain-text ``service_instance_password`` in your configuration, a key-pair may be specified with options ``path_to_public_key`` and ``path_to_private_key`` to configure and allow password-less SSH access between the `share node` and the share server/s created. .. code-block:: console $ glance image-create \ --copy-from http://tarballs.openstack.org/manila-image-elements/images/manila-service-image-master.qcow2 \ --name "manila-service-image" \ --disk-format qcow2 \ --container-format bare \ --visibility public --progress [=============================>] 100% +------------------+--------------------------------------+ | Property | Value | +------------------+--------------------------------------+ | checksum | 48a08e746cf0986e2bc32040a9183445 | | container_format | bare | | created_at | 2016-01-26T19:52:24Z | | disk_format | qcow2 | | id | 1fc7f29e-8fe6-44ef-9c3c-15217e83997c | | min_disk | 0 | | min_ram | 0 | | name | manila-service-image | | owner | e2c965830ecc4162a002bf16ddc91ab7 | | protected | False | | size | 306577408 | | status | active | | tags | [] | | updated_at | 2016-01-26T19:52:28Z | | virtual_size | None | | visibility | public | +------------------+--------------------------------------+ #.
