Cinder LVM2 backend with iSCSI
|
||||
------------------------------
|
||||
As of Newton-1 milestone, Kolla supports LVM2 as cinder backend. It is
|
||||
accomplished by introducing two new containers tgtd and iscsid.
|
||||
tgtd container serves as a bridge between cinder-volume process and a server
|
||||
hosting Logical Volume Groups (LVG). iscsid container serves as a bridge
|
||||
between nova-compute process and the server hosting LVG.
|
||||
|
||||
There are two methods to apply new configuration to cinder:
|
||||
1 - New deployments: create cinder.conf and place it at /etc/kolla/config
|
||||
folder, then add below configuration lines and run kolla deloyment.
|
||||
2 - Existing cinder deployments: modify cinder.conf located at
|
||||
/etc/kolla/config by adding below configuration lines and run kolla
|
||||
reconfigure.

Where:
|
||||
|
||||
- local_lvm_name is a name chosen by a user for a spefic LVM2 backend, multiple
|
||||
LVM2 backend can be confiugred and each should have a unique name.
|
||||
|
||||
- lvg_name is a name Logical Volume Group created for cinder to store volumes.
|
||||
|
||||
- management_ip_address_of_server_hosting_LVG is IP address of an interface
|
||||
where cinder process is bound to. (Do not use VIP address here, LVG does not
|
||||
move from server to server as VIP address does in case of a server failure).
|
||||
|
||||
NOTE: For Ubuntu and LVM2/iSCSI
|
||||
|
||||
iscsd process uses configfs which is normally mounted at /sys/kernel/config to
|
||||
store discovered targets information, on centos/rhel type of systems this special
|
||||
file system gets mounted automatically, which is not the case on debian/ubuntu.
|
||||
Since iscsid container runs on every nova compute node, the following steps must
|
||||
be completed on every Ubuntu server targeted for nova compute role.
|
||||
|
||||
1 - Add configfs module to /etc/modules
|
||||
2 - Rebuild initramfs using: "update-initramfs -u" command
|
||||
3 - Make sure configfs gets mounted during a server boot up process. There are
|
||||
multiple ways to accomplish it, one example is adding this command to
|
||||
"mount -t configfs configfs /sys/kernel/config" to /etc/rc.local
