Cinder volume support
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Cinder volume is a block storage service for OpenStack, which represents a
|
|
detachable device, similar to a USB hard drive. You can attach a volume to
|
|
only one instance. In murano, it is possible to work with Cinder volumes
|
|
in several ways:
|
|
|
|
* Attaching Cinder volumes to murano instance
|
|
* Booting from Cinder volume
|
|
|
|
Below both ways are considered with ApacheHttpServer application as an
|
|
example.
|
|
|
|
For more information about Cinder volumes, see
|
|
`Manage Cinder volumes
|
|
<http://docs.openstack.org/user-guide/common/cli_manage_volumes.html>`_.
|
|
|
|
Attaching Cinder volumes
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
Several volumes can be attached to the murano instance. Consider an example
|
|
that shows how to attach a created volume to the instance (next, in the
|
|
*Booting from Cinder volume* section, we are going to boot from a volume
|
|
created by us).
|
|
|
|
**Example**
|
|
|
|
#. In the OpenStack dashboard, go to :guilabel:`Volumes` to create a volume.
|
|
|
|
#. Modify the ``ui.yaml`` file:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
Application:
|
|
....
|
|
instance:
|
|
....
|
|
volumes:
|
|
$.volumeConfiguration.volumePath:
|
|
?:
|
|
type: io.murano.resources.ExistingCinderVolume
|
|
openstackId: $.volumeConfiguration.volumeID
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
An existing Cinder volume can be initialized with its ``openstackId`` and can
|
|
be attached with its ``volumePath``. These parameters come here from
|
|
modified ``Forms`` section of the ``ui.yaml`` file:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
Forms:
|
|
- appConfiguration:
|
|
....
|
|
- instanceConfiguration:
|
|
....
|
|
- volumeConfiguration:
|
|
fields:
|
|
- name: volumeID
|
|
type: string
|
|
label: Existing volume ID
|
|
description: Put in existing volume openstackID
|
|
required: true
|
|
- name: volumePath
|
|
type: string
|
|
label: Path
|
|
description: Put in volume path to be mounted
|
|
required: true
|
|
|
|
Therefore, create a ZIP archive of the built package and upload it to murano.
|
|
Attach created application to the environment. Enter its openstackId (which
|
|
can be found in OpenStack dashboard) and path for mounting. For example, you
|
|
can fill the latter with ``/dev/vdb`` value.
|
|
|
|
After the application is deployed, verify that the volume is attached to the
|
|
instance in the OpenStack dashboard :guilabel:`Volumes` tab. Alternatively,
|
|
see the topology of the ``Heat Stack``.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Booting from Cinder volume
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
You can create a volume from an existing image. The example below shows how to
|
|
create a volume from an image and use the volume to boot an instance.
|
|
|
|
**Example**
|
|
|
|
It is possible to create a volume through the Heat template, instead of
|
|
the OpenStack dashboard. For this, modify the ``ui.yaml`` file:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
Templates:
|
|
customJoinNet:
|
|
....
|
|
bootVolumes:
|
|
- volume:
|
|
?:
|
|
type: io.murano.resources.CinderVolume
|
|
size: $.instanceConfiguration.volSize
|
|
sourceImage: $.instanceConfiguration.osImage
|
|
bootIndex: 0
|
|
deviceName: vda
|
|
deviceType: disk
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
Application:
|
|
....
|
|
instance:
|
|
....
|
|
blockDevices: $bootVolumes
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
The example above shows that the ``Templates`` section now has a
|
|
``bootVolumes`` field, which is stored in the changed ``Application``
|
|
section.
|
|
Pay attention that ``image`` property should be deleted from
|
|
``Application`` to avoid defining both image and volume to boot.
|
|
The ``size`` and ``sourceImage`` properties come in ``Templates`` from the
|
|
changed ``Forms`` section of the ``ui.yaml`` file:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
Forms:
|
|
- appConfiguration:
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
- instanceConfiguration:
|
|
fields:
|
|
....
|
|
- name: volSize
|
|
type: integer
|
|
label: Size of volume
|
|
required: true
|
|
description: >-
|
|
Specify volume size which is going to be created from image
|
|
....
|
|
|
|
After sending this package to murano you can boot your instance from the
|
|
volume by chosen image.
