Overview
The cinder module is a part of Stackforge, an effort by the Openstack infrastructure team to provide continuous integration testing and code review for Openstack and Openstack community projects not part of the core software. The module its self is used to flexibly configure and manage the block storage service for Openstack.
Module Description
The cinder module is a thorough attempt to make Puppet capable of managing the entirety of cinder. This includes manifests to provision such things as keystone endpoints, RPC configurations specific to cinder, and database connections. Types are shipped as part of the cinder module to assist in manipulation of configuration files.
This module is tested in combination with other modules needed to build and leverage an entire Openstack software stack. These modules can be found, all pulled together in the openstack module.
Setup
What the cinder module affects
- cinder, the block storage service for Openstack.
Installing cinder
puppet module install puppetlabs/cinder
Beginning with cinder
To utilize the cinder module's functionality you will need to declare multiple resources. The following is a modified excerpt from the openstack module. This is not an exhaustive list of all the components needed, we recommend you consult and understand the openstack module and the core openstack documentation.
Define a cinder control node
class { 'cinder':
database_connection => 'mysql://cinder:secret_block_password@openstack-controller.example.com/cinder',
rabbit_password => 'secret_rpc_password_for_blocks',
rabbit_host => 'openstack-controller.example.com',
verbose => true,
}
class { 'cinder::api':
keystone_password => $keystone_password,
keystone_enabled => $keystone_enabled,
keystone_user => $keystone_user,
keystone_auth_host => $keystone_auth_host,
keystone_auth_port => $keystone_auth_port,
keystone_auth_protocol => $keystone_auth_protocol,
service_port => $keystone_service_port,
package_ensure => $cinder_api_package_ensure,
bind_host => $cinder_bind_host,
enabled => $cinder_api_enabled,
}
class { 'cinder::scheduler':
scheduler_driver => 'cinder.scheduler.simple.SimpleScheduler',
}
Define a cinder storage node
class { 'cinder':
database_connection => 'mysql://cinder:secret_block_password@openstack-controller.example.com/cinder',
rabbit_password => 'secret_rpc_password_for_blocks',
rabbit_host => 'openstack-controller.example.com',
verbose => true,
}
class { 'cinder::volume': }
class { 'cinder::volume::iscsi':
iscsi_ip_address => '10.0.0.2',
}
**Define a cinder storage node with multiple backends **
class { 'cinder':
database_connection => 'mysql://cinder:secret_block_password@openstack-controller.example.com/cinder',
rabbit_password => 'secret_rpc_password_for_blocks',
rabbit_host => 'openstack-controller.example.com',
verbose => true,
}
class { 'cinder::volume': }
cinder::backend::iscsi {'iscsi1':
iscsi_ip_address => '10.0.0.2',
}
cinder::backend::iscsi {'iscsi2':
iscsi_ip_address => '10.0.0.3',
}
cinder::backend::iscsi {'iscsi3':
iscsi_ip_address => '10.0.0.4',
volume_backend_name => 'iscsi',
}
cinder::backend::iscsi {'iscsi4':
iscsi_ip_address => '10.0.0.5',
volume_backend_name => 'iscsi',
}
cinder::backend::rbd {'rbd-images':
rbd_pool => 'images',
rbd_user => 'images',
}
# Cinder::Type requires keystone credentials
Cinder::Type {
os_password => 'admin',
os_tenant_name => 'admin',
os_username => 'admin',
os_auth_url => 'http://127.0.0.1:5000/v2.0/',
}
cinder::type {'iscsi':
set_key => 'volume_backend_name',
set_value => ['iscsi1', 'iscsi2', 'iscsi']
}
cinder::type {'rbd':
set_key => 'volume_backend_name',
set_value => 'rbd-images',
}
class { 'cinder::backends':
enabled_backends => ['iscsi1', 'iscsi2', 'rbd-images']
}
Note: that the name passed to any backend resource must be unique accross all backends otherwise a duplicate resource will be defined.
** Using type and type_set **
Cinder allows for the usage of type to set extended information that can be used for various reasons. We have resource provider for type
and type_set
Since types are rarely defined with out also setting attributes with it, the resource for type
can also call type_set
if you pass set_key
and set_value
Implementation
cinder
cinder is a combination of Puppet manifest and ruby code to delivery configuration and extra functionality through types and providers.
Limitations
- Setup of storage nodes is limited to Linux and LVM, i.e. Puppet won't configure a Nexenta appliance but nova can be configured to use the Nexenta driver with Class['cinder::volume::nexenta'].
Development
Developer documentation for the entire puppet-openstack project.
