Valeriy Ponomaryov 2f4795f7fe Add mount automation example based on Zaqar
This example consists of three parts:
- Server side hook module
'contrib.share_driver_hooks.zaqar_notification' that can be enabled in Manila
- Client side consumer module
'contrib.share_driver_hooks.zaqar_notification_example_consumer' that can be
used in any user machine.
- Common module 'contrib.share_driver_hooks.zaqarclientwrapper' that is used
by server and client side modules for initialization of Zaqar client.

Details of its usage are described in file
'contrib/share_driver_hooks/README.rst'

Manila mount automation example using share driver hooks feature
================================================================
Manila has feature called 'share driver hooks'. Which allows to perform
actions before and after driver actions such as 'create share' or
'access allow', also allows to do custom things on periodic basis.
Here, we provide example of mount automation using this feature.
This example uses OpenStack Zaqar project for sending notifications
when operations 'access allow' and 'access deny' are performed.
Server side hook will send notifications about changed access for shares
after granting and prior to denying access.
Possibilities of the mount automation example (consumer)
--------------------------------------------------------
- Supports only 'NFS' protocol.
- Supports only 'IP' rules.
- Supports both levels of access - 'RW' and 'RO'.
- Consume interval can be configured.
- Allows to choose parent mount directory.
Server side setup and run
-------------------------
1. Place files 'zaqarclientwrapper.py' and 'zaqar_notification.py' to dir
%manila_dir%/manila/share/hooks.
Then update manila configuration file with following options:
::
[share_backend_config_group]
hook_drivers = manila.share.hooks.zaqar_notification.ZaqarNotification
enable_pre_hooks = True
enable_post_hooks = True
enable_periodic_hooks = False
[zaqar]
zaqar_auth_url = http://%ip_of_endpoint_with_keystone%:35357/v2.0/
zaqar_region_name = %name_of_region_optional%
zaqar_username = foo_user
zaqar_password = foo_tenant
zaqar_project_name = foo_password
zaqar_queues = manila_notification
2. Restart manila-share service.
Consumer side setup and run
---------------------------
1. Place files 'zaqarclientwrapper.py' and
'zaqar_notification_example_consumer.py' to any dir on user machine, but they
both should be in the same dir.
2. Make sure that following dependencies are installed:
- PIP dependencies:
- netaddr
- oslo_concurrency
- oslo_config
- oslo_utils
- python-zaqarclient
- six
- System libs that install 'mount' and 'mount.nfs' apps.
3. Create file with following options:
::
[zaqar]
# Consumer-related options
sleep_between_consume_attempts = 7
mount_dir = "/tmp"
expected_ip_addresses = 10.254.0.4
# Common options for consumer and server sides
zaqar_auth_url = http://%ip_of_endpoint_with_keystone%:35357/v2.0/
zaqar_region_name = %name_of_region_optional%
zaqar_username = foo_user
zaqar_password = foo_tenant
zaqar_project_name = foo_password
zaqar_queues = manila_notification
Consumer options descriptions:
- 'sleep_between_consume_attempts' - wait interval between consuming
notifications from message queue.
- 'mount_dir' - parent mount directory that will contain all mounted shares
as subdirectories.
- 'expected_ip_addresses' - list of IP addresses that are expected
to be granted access for. Could be either equal to or be part of a CIDR.
Match triggers [un]mount operations.
4. Run consumer with following command:
::
$ zaqar_notification_example_consumer.py --config-file path/to/config.conf
5. Now create NFS share and grant IP access to consumer by its IP address.
