NexentaStor5 Driver for OpenStack Manila
========================================
The `NexentaStor5 <http://www.nexenta.com>`__ Manila driver
provides NFS shared file systems to OpenStack.
Requirements
------------
- The NexentaStor 5.1 or newer
Supported shared filesystems and operations
-------------------------------------------
This driver supports NFS shares.
The following operations are supported:
- Create NFS Share
- Delete NFS Share
- Allow NFS Share access
* Only IP access type is supported for NFS (ro/rw).
- Deny NFS Share access
- Manage a share.
- Unmanage a share.
- Extend a share.
- Shrink a share.
- Create snapshot
- Revert to snapshot
- Delete snapshot
- Create share from snapshot
Backend Configuration
---------------------
The following parameters need to be configured in the manila configuration
file for the NexentaStor5 driver:
- `share_backend_name` = <backend name to enable>
- `share_driver` = manila.share.drivers.nexenta.ns5.nexenta_nas.NexentaNasDriver
- `driver_handles_share_servers` = False
- `nexenta_nas_host` = <Data address to NAS shares>
- `nexenta_user` = <username for management operations>
- `nexenta_password` = <password for management operations>
- `nexenta_pool` = <Pool name where NAS shares are created>
- `nexenta_rest_addresses` = <Management address for Rest API access>
- `nexenta_folder` = <Parent filesystem where all Manila shares are kept>
- `nexenta_nfs` = True
Share Types
-----------
When creating a share, a share type can be specified to determine where and
how the share will be created. If a share type is not specified, the
`default_share_type` set in the manila configuration file is used.
Manila requires that the share type includes the
`driver_handles_share_servers` extra-spec. This ensures that the share
will be created on a backend that supports the requested
driver_handles_share_servers (share networks) capability.
For the NexentaStor driver, this extra-spec's value must be set to False.
Restrictions
------------
- Only IP share access control is allowed for NFS shares.
Back-end configuration example
