Infortrend Driver for OpenStack Manila
The Infortrend Manila driver provides NFS and CIFS shared file systems to Openstack.
Requirements
- The EonStor GS/GSe series Fireware version 139A23
Supported shared filesystems and operations
This driver supports NFS and CIFS shares.
The following operations are supported:
- Create CIFS/NFS Share
- Delete CIFS/NFS Share
- Allow CIFS/NFS Share access
- Only IP access type is supported for NFS (ro/rw).
- Only USER access type is supported for CIFS (ro/rw).
- Deny CIFS/NFS Share access
- Manage a share.
- Unmanage a share.
- Extend a share.
- Shrink a share.
Backend Configuration
The following parameters need to be configured in the manila configuration file for the Infortrend driver:
- share_backend_name = <backend name to enable>
- share_driver = manila.share.drivers.infortrend.driver.InfortrendNASDriver
- driver_handles_share_servers = False
- infortrend_nas_ip = <IP address for SSH access to the SAN controller>
- infortrend_nas_user = <username with the 'edit' role>
- infortrend_nas_password = <password for the user specified in infortrend_nas_user>
- infortrend_share_pools = <Poolname of the SAN controller>
- infortrend_share_channels = <Data channel for file service in SAN controller>
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 Infortrend driver, this must be set to False.
Back-end configuration example
[DEFAULT]
enabled_share_backends = ift-manila
enabled_share_protocols = NFS, CIFS
[ift-manila]
share_backend_name = ift-manila
share_driver = manila.share.drivers.infortrend.driver.InfortrendNASDriver
driver_handles_share_servers = False
infortrend_nas_ip = FAKE_IP
infortrend_nas_user = FAKE_USER
infortrend_nas_password = FAKE_PASS
infortrend_share_pools = pool-1, pool-2
infortrend_share_channels = 0, 1
