=======================================
|
|
Configure and use volume number weigher
|
|
=======================================
|
|
|
|
OpenStack Block Storage enables you to choose a volume back end according
|
|
to ``free_capacity`` and ``allocated_capacity``. The volume number weigher
|
|
feature lets the scheduler choose a volume back end based on its volume
|
|
number in the volume back end. This can provide another means to improve
|
|
the volume back ends' I/O balance and the volumes' I/O performance.
|
|
|
|
Enable volume number weigher
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
To enable a volume number weigher, set the
|
|
``scheduler_default_weighers`` to ``VolumeNumberWeigher`` flag in the
|
|
``cinder.conf`` file to define ``VolumeNumberWeigher``
|
|
as the selected weigher.
|
|
|
|
Configure multiple-storage back ends
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
To configure ``VolumeNumberWeigher``, use ``LVMVolumeDriver``
|
|
as the volume driver.
|
|
|
|
This configuration defines two LVM volume groups: ``stack-volumes`` with
|
|
10 GB capacity and ``stack-volumes-1`` with 60 GB capacity.
|
|
This example configuration defines two back ends:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: ini
|
|
|
|
scheduler_default_weighers=VolumeNumberWeigher
|
|
enabled_backends=lvmdriver-1,lvmdriver-2
|
|
[lvmdriver-1]
|
|
volume_group=stack-volumes
|
|
volume_driver=cinder.volume.drivers.lvm.LVMVolumeDriver
|
|
volume_backend_name=LVM
|
|
|
|
[lvmdriver-2]
|
|
volume_group=stack-volumes-1
|
|
volume_driver=cinder.volume.drivers.lvm.LVMVolumeDriver
|
|
volume_backend_name=LVM
|
|
|
|
Volume type
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Define a volume type in Block Storage:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ cinder type-create lvm
|
|
|
|
Create an extra specification that links the volume type to a back-end name:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ cinder type-key lvm set volume_backend_name=LVM
|
|
|
|
This example creates a lvm volume type with
|
|
``volume_backend_name=LVM`` as extra specifications.
|
|
|
|
Usage
|
|
~~~~~
|
|
|
|
To create six 1-GB volumes, run the
|
|
:command:`cinder create --volume-type lvm 1` command six times:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ cinder create --volume-type lvm 1
|
|
|
|
This command creates three volumes in ``stack-volumes`` and
|
|
three volumes in ``stack-volumes-1``.
|
|
|
|
List the available volumes:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
