Introduction

|
The OpenStack File Share service allows you to offer file-share services to
|
|
users of an OpenStack installation. The Shared File Systems service can be
|
|
configured to run in a single-node configuration or across multiple nodes. The
|
|
Shared File Systems service can be configured to provision shares from one or
|
|
more back ends, so it is required to declare at least one back end. To
|
|
administer the Shared File Systems service, it is helpful to understand a
|
|
number of concepts like share networks, shares, multi-tenancy and back ends
|
|
that can be configured with the Shared File Systems service. The Shared File
|
|
Systems service consists of three types of services, which are similar to
|
|
those of the Block Storage service:
|
|
|
|
- ``manila-api``
|
|
- ``manila-scheduler``
|
|
- ``manila-share``
|
|
|
|
Installation of first two - ``manila-api`` and ``manila-scheduler`` is common
|
|
for almost all deployments. But configuration of ``manila-share`` is
|
|
backend-specific and can differ from deployment to deployment.
