The new sphinx version introduces some changes that break build: * Warns if code cannot be parsed for highlighting. Fix the code so that it can be parsed, this includes uncommenting "..." lines. Note that not every config file is an ini-file. Also, the parser seems to have bugs and cannot parse all files. Fix mysql ini file and enable the parameter, see http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/innodb-parameters.html#sysvar_innodb_file_per_table * :option: works only with declared options, replace useage with simple ``. This change only handles a few files, more to come later. Change-Id: I7c7335e514581622dd562ee355f62d6ae1beaa18

Install and configure a storage node
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
This section describes how to install and configure storage nodes
|
|
for the Block Storage service. For simplicity, this configuration
|
|
references one storage node with an empty local block storage device.
|
|
The instructions use ``/dev/sdb``, but you can substitute a different
|
|
value for your particular node.
|
|
|
|
The service provisions logical volumes on this device using the
|
|
:term:`LVM <Logical Volume Manager (LVM)>` driver and provides them
|
|
to instances via :term:`iSCSI <iSCSI Qualified Name (IQN)>` transport.
|
|
You can follow these instructions with minor modifications to horizontally
|
|
scale your environment with additional storage nodes.
|
|
|
|
Prerequisites
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
Before you install and configure the Block Storage service on the
|
|
storage node, you must prepare the storage device.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
Perform these steps on the storage node.
|
|
|
|
#. Create the LVM physical volume ``/dev/sdb``:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
# pvcreate /dev/sdb
|
|
|
|
Physical volume "/dev/sdb" successfully created
|
|
|
|
.. end
|
|
|
|
#. Create the LVM volume group ``cinder-volumes``:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
# vgcreate cinder-volumes /dev/sdb
|
|
|
|
Volume group "cinder-volumes" successfully created
|
|
|
|
.. end
|
|
|
|
The Block Storage service creates logical volumes in this volume group.
|
|
|
|
#. Only instances can access Block Storage volumes. However, the
|
|
underlying operating system manages the devices associated with
|
|
the volumes. By default, the LVM volume scanning tool scans the
|
|
``/dev`` directory for block storage devices that
|
|
contain volumes. If projects use LVM on their volumes, the scanning
|
|
tool detects these volumes and attempts to cache them which can cause
|
|
a variety of problems with both the underlying operating system
|
|
and project volumes. You must reconfigure LVM to scan only the devices
|
|
that contain the ``cinder-volume`` volume group. Edit the
|
|
``/etc/lvm/lvm.conf`` file and complete the following actions:
|
|
|
|
* In the ``devices`` section, add a filter that accepts the
|
|
``/dev/sdb`` device and rejects all other devices:
|
|
|
|
.. path /etc/lvm/lvm.conf
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
devices {
|
|
...
|
|
filter = [ "a/sdb/", "r/.*/"]
|
|
|
|
.. end
|
|
|
|
Each item in the filter array begins with ``a`` for **accept** or
|
|
``r`` for **reject** and includes a regular expression for the
|
|
device name. The array must end with ``r/.*/`` to reject any
|
|
remaining devices. You can use the :command:`vgs -vvvv` command
|
|
to test filters.
|
|
|
|
.. warning::
|
|
|
|
If your storage nodes use LVM on the operating system disk, you
|
|
must also add the associated device to the filter. For example,
|
|
if the ``/dev/sda`` device contains the operating system:
|
|
|
|
.. ignore_path /etc/lvm/lvm.conf
|
|
.. code-block:: ini
|
|
|
|
filter = [ "a/sda/", "a/sdb/", "r/.*/"]
|
|
|
|
.. end
|
|
|
|
Similarly, if your compute nodes use LVM on the operating
|
|
system disk, you must also modify the filter in the
|
|
``/etc/lvm/lvm.conf`` file on those nodes to include only
|
|
the operating system disk. For example, if the ``/dev/sda``
|
|
device contains the operating system:
|
|
|
|
.. path /etc/openstack-dashboard/local_settings.py
|
|
.. code-block:: ini
|
|
|
|
filter = [ "a/sda/", "r/.*/"]
|
|
|
|
.. end
|
|
|
|
Install and configure components
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
#. Install the packages:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
# apt-get install cinder-volume
|
|
|
|
.. end
|
|
|
|
Respond to prompts for
|
|
:doc:`database management <debconf/debconf-dbconfig-common>`,
|
|
:doc:`Identity service credentials <debconf/debconf-keystone-authtoken>`,
|
|
:doc:`service endpoint registration <debconf/debconf-api-endpoints>`,
|
|
and :doc:`message broker credentials <debconf/debconf-rabbitmq>`.
|
|
|
|
2. Edit the ``/etc/cinder/cinder.conf`` file
|
|
and complete the following actions:
|
|
|
|
* In the ``[DEFAULT]`` section, configure the ``my_ip`` option:
|
|
|
|
.. path /etc/cinder/cinder.conf
|
|
.. code-block:: ini
|
|
|
|
[DEFAULT]
|
|
# ...
|
|
my_ip = MANAGEMENT_INTERFACE_IP_ADDRESS
|
|
|
|
.. end
|
|
|
|
Replace ``MANAGEMENT_INTERFACE_IP_ADDRESS`` with the IP address
|
|
of the management network interface on your storage node,
|
|
typically 10.0.0.41 for the first node in the
|
|
:ref:`example architecture <overview-example-architectures>`.
|
|
|
|
* In the ``[DEFAULT]`` section, configure the location of the
|
|
Image service API:
|
|
|
|
.. path /etc/cinder/cinder.conf
|
|
.. code-block:: ini
|
|
|
|
[DEFAULT]
|
|
# ...
|
|
glance_api_servers = http://controller:9292
|
|
|
|
.. end
|
|
|
|
Finalize installation
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
#. Restart the Block Storage volume service including its dependencies:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
# service tgt restart
|
|
# service cinder-volume restart
|
|
|
|
.. end
|
