The OpenStack Shared File Systems service (manila) provides coordinated
|
|
access to shared or distributed file systems. The method in which the share is
|
|
provisioned and consumed is determined by the Shared File Systems driver, or
|
|
drivers in the case of a multi-backend configuration. There are a variety of
|
|
drivers that support NFS, CIFS, HDFS, GlusterFS, CEPHFS and other protocols
|
|
as well.
|
|
|
|
The Shared File Systems API and scheduler services typically run on the
|
|
controller nodes. Depending upon the drivers used, the share service can run
|
|
on controllers, compute nodes, or storage nodes.
|
|

|
|
|
|
For simplicity, this guide describes configuring the Shared File Systems
|
|
service to use one of either:
|
|
|
|
* the ``generic`` back end with the ``driver_handles_share_servers`` mode
|
|
(DHSS) enabled that uses the `Compute service` (`nova`),
|
|
`Image service` (`glance`), `Networking service` (`neutron`) and
|
|
`Block storage service` (`cinder`); or,
|
|
* the ``LVM`` back end with ``driver_handles_share_servers`` mode (DHSS)
|
|
disabled.
|
|
|
|
The storage protocol used and referenced in this guide is ``NFS``. As
|
|
stated above, the Shared File System service supports different storage
|
|
protocols depending on the back end chosen.
|
|
|
|
For the ``generic`` back end, networking service configuration requires
|
|
the capability of networks being attached to a public router in order to
|
|
create share networks. If using this back end, ensure that Compute,
|
|
Networking and Block storage services are properly working before you
|
|
proceed. For networking service, ensure that option 2 (deploying the
|
|
networking service with support for self-service networks) is properly
|
|
configured.
|
|
|
|
This installation tutorial also assumes that installation and configuration
|
|
of OpenStack packages, Network Time Protocol, database engine and
|
|
message queue has been completed as per the instructions in the `OpenStack
|
|
Installation Tutorial. <http://docs.openstack.org/#install-guides>`_. The
|
|
`Identity Service` (`keystone`) has to be pre-configured with suggested
|
|
client environment scripts.
|
|
|
|
For more information on various Shared File Systems storage back ends,
|
|
see the `Shared File Systems Configuration Reference.
