Volume Documentation
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
Nova uses ata-over-ethernet (AoE) to export storage volumes from multiple storage nodes. These AoE exports are attached (using libvirt) directly to running instances.
|
|
|
|
Nova volumes are exported over the primary system VLAN (usually VLAN 1), and not over individual VLANs.
|
|
|
|
AoE exports are numbered according to a "shelf and blade" syntax. In order to avoid collisions, we currently perform an AoE-discover of existing exports, and then grab the next unused number. (This obviously has race condition problems, and should be replaced by allocating a shelf-id to each storage node.)
|
|
|
|
The underlying volumes are LVM logical volumes, created on demand within a single large volume group.
