<title>Install and configure a storage node</title>
<para>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
<literal>/dev/sdb</literal> that contains a suitable partition table with
one partition <literal>/dev/sdb1</literal> occupying the entire device.
The service provisions logical volumes on this device using the
<glossterm>LVM</glossterm> driver and provides them to instances via
<glossterm baseform="Internet Small Computer Systems Interface (iSCSI)"
>iSCSI</glossterm> transport. You can follow these instructions with
minor modifications to horizontally scale your environment with
additional storage nodes.</para>
<procedure>
<title>To configure prerequisites</title>
<para>You must configure the storage node before you install and
configure the volume service on it. Similar to the controller node,
the storage node contains one network interface on the
<glossterm>management network</glossterm>. The storage node also
needs an empty block storage device of suitable size for your
environment. For more information, see
<xref linkend="ch_basic_environment"/>.</para>
<step>
<para>Configure the management interface:</para>
<para>IP address: 10.0.0.41</para>
<para>Network mask: 255.255.255.0 (or /24)</para>
<para>Default gateway: 10.0.0.1</para>
</step>
<step>
<para>Set the hostname of the node to
<replaceable>block1</replaceable>.</para>
</step>
<step>
<para>Copy the contents of the <filename>/etc/hosts</filename> file from
the controller node to the storage node and add the following
to it:</para>
<programlisting language="ini"># block1
10.0.0.41 block1</programlisting>
<para>Also add this content to the <filename>/etc/hosts</filename> file
on all other nodes in your environment.</para>
</step>
<step>
<para>Install and configure
<glossterm baseform="Network Time Protocol (NTP)">NTP</glossterm>
using the instructions in
<xref linkend="basics-ntp-other-nodes"/>.</para>
</step>
<step>
<para>Install the LVM packages:</para>
<screen os="ubuntu;debian"><prompt>#</prompt> <userinput>apt-get install lvm2</userinput></screen>
<screen os="rhel;centos;fedora"><prompt>#</prompt> <userinput>yum install lvm2</userinput></screen>
<note>
<para>Some distributions include LVM by default.</para>

</step>
<step os="rhel;centos;fedora">
<para>Start the LVM metadata service and configure it to start when the
system boots:</para>
<screen><prompt>#</prompt> <userinput>systemctl enable lvm2-lvmetad.service</userinput>
<prompt>#</prompt> <userinput>systemctl start lvm2-lvmetad.service</userinput></screen>

<para>If your system uses a different device name, adjust these

<para>Create the LVM volume group
<literal>cinder-volumes</literal>:</para>
<screen><prompt>#</prompt> <userinput>vgcreate cinder-volumes /dev/sdb1</userinput>
<computeroutput> Volume group "cinder-volumes" successfully created</computeroutput></screen>
<para>The Block Storage service creates logical volumes in this
volume group.</para>
</step>
<step>
<para>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
<literal>/dev</literal> directory for block storage devices that
contain volumes. If tenants 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 tenant volumes. You must reconfigure LVM to scan only the devices
that contain the <literal>cinder-volume</literal> volume group. Edit
the <filename>/etc/lvm/lvm.conf</filename> file and complete the
following actions:</para>
<substeps>
<step>
<para>In the <literal>devices</literal> section, add a filter
that accepts the <literal>/dev/sdb</literal> device and rejects
all other devices:</para>
<programlisting language="ini">devices {
...
filter = [ "a/sdb/", "r/.*/"]</programlisting>
<para>Each item in the filter array begins with <literal>a</literal>
for <emphasis>accept</emphasis> or <literal>r</literal> for
<emphasis>reject</emphasis> and includes a regular expression
for the device name. The array must end with
<literal>r/.*/</literal> to reject any remaining
devices. You can use the <command>vgs -vvvv</command>
command to test filters.</para>
<warning>
<para>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 <literal>/dev/sda</literal> device contains
the operating system:</para>
<programlisting language="ini">filter = [ "a/sda/", "a/sdb/", "r/.*/"]</programlisting>
<para>Similarly, if your compute nodes use LVM on the operating
system disk, you must also modify the filter in the
<literal>/etc/lvm/lvm.conf</literal> file on those nodes to
include only the operating system disk. For example, if the
<literal>/dev/sda</literal> device contains the operating
system:</para>
<programlisting language="ini">filter = [ "a/sda/", "r/.*/"]</programlisting>
