Configuring cinder to use Dell EqualLogic
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To use the Dell EqualLogic volume driver as a back end, edit the
``/etc/openstack_deploy/openstack_user_config.yml`` file and
configure the storage nodes that will use it.
Define the following parameters.
#. Add ``dellqlx`` stanza under the ``cinder_backends`` for each
storage node:
.. code-block:: yaml
cinder_backends:
delleqlx:
#. Use Dell EQLX San ISCSI driver:
.. code-block:: yaml
volume_driver: cinder.volume.drivers.eqlx.DellEQLSanISCSIDriver
#. Specify the SAN IP address:
.. code-block:: yaml
san_ip: ip_of_dell_storage
#. Specify SAN username (Default: grpadmin):
.. code-block:: yaml
san_login: grpadmin
#. Specify the SAN password:
.. code-block:: yaml
san_password: password
#. Specify the group name for pools (Default: group-0):
.. code-block:: yaml
eqlx_group_name: group-0
#. Specify the pool where Cinder will create volumes and snapshots
(Default: default):
.. code-block:: yaml
eqlx_pool: default
#. Ensure the ``openstack_user_config.yml`` configuration is
accurate:
.. code-block:: yaml
