The share node can support two modes, with and without the handling of
|
|
share servers. The mode depends on driver support.
|
|
|
|
Option 1
|
|
--------
|
|
Deploying the service without driver support for share server management.
|
|
In this mode, the service does not do anything related to networking. The
|
|
operator must ensure network connectivity between instances and the NAS
|
|
protocol based server.
|
|
|
|
This tutorial demonstrates setting up the LVM driver which creates LVM volumes
|
|
on the share node and exports them with the help of an NFS server that is
|
|
installed locally on the share node. It therefore requires LVM and NFS packages
|
|
as well as an additional disk for the ``manila-share`` LVM volume group.
|
|
|
|
This driver mode may be referred to as ``driver_handles_share_servers = False``
|
|
mode, or simply ``DHSS=False`` mode.
|
|
|
|
Option 2
|
|
--------
|
|
Deploying the service with driver support for share server management. In
|
|
this mode, the service runs with a back end driver that creates and manages
|
|
share servers. This tutorial demonstrates setting up the ``Generic`` driver.
|
|
This driver requires Compute service (nova), Image service (glance) and
|
|
Networking service (neutron) for creating and managing share servers; and
|
|
Block storage service (cinder) for creating shares.
|
|
|
|
The information used for creating share servers is configured with the help of
|
|
share networks.
|
|
|
|
This driver mode may be referred to as ``driver_handles_share_servers = True``
|
|
mode, or simply ``DHSS=True`` mode.
|
|
|
|
.. warning::
|
|
|
|
When running the generic driver in ``DHSS=True`` driver mode, the share
|
|
service should be run on the same node as the networking service.
|
|
However, such a service may not be able to run the LVM driver that runs
|
|
in ``DHSS=False`` driver mode effectively, due to a bug in some
|
|
distributions of Linux. For more information, see LVM Driver section in the
|
|
`Configuration Reference Guide
