Openstack Cinder Proxy
===============================
Cinder-Proxy acts as the same role of Cinder-Volume in cascading OpenStack.
Cinder-Proxy treats cascaded Cinder as its cinder volume, convert the internal request message from the message bus to restful API calling to cascaded Cinder.
Key modules
-----------
* The new cinder proxy module cinder_proxy,which treats cascaded Cinder as its cinder volume, convert the internal request message from the message bus to restful API calling to cascaded Cinder:
cinder/volume/cinder_proxy.py
Requirements
------------
* openstack-cinder-volume-2014.1-14.1 has been installed
Installation
------------
We provide two ways to install the cinder proxy code. In this section, we will guide you through installing the cinder proxy with the minimum configuration.
* **Note:**
- Make sure you have an existing installation of **Openstack Icehouse**.
- We recommend that you Do backup at least the following files before installation, because they are to be overwritten or modified:
$CINDER_CONFIG_PARENT_DIR/cinder.conf
(replace the $... with actual directory names.)
* **Manual Installation**
- Make sure you have performed backups properly.
- Navigate to the local repository and copy the contents in 'cinder' sub-directory to the corresponding places in existing cinder, e.g.
```cp -r $LOCAL_REPOSITORY_DIR/cinder $CINDER_PARENT_DIR```
(replace the $... with actual directory name.)
- Update the cinder configuration file (e.g. /etc/cinder/cinder.conf) with the minimum option below. If the option already exists, modify its value, otherwise add it to the config file. Check the "Configurations" section below for a full configuration guide.
```

###configuration for Cinder cascading ###
volume_manager=cinder.volume.cinder_proxy.CinderProxy
volume_sync_interval=5
cinder_tenant_name=$CASCADED_ADMIN_TENANT
cinder_username=$CASCADED_ADMIN_NAME
cinder_password=$CASCADED_ADMIN_PASSWORD
keystone_auth_url=http://$GLOBAL_KEYSTONE_IP:5000/v2.0/
cascading_glance_url=$CASCADING_GLANCE
cascaded_glance_url=http://$CASCADED_GLANCE
cascaded_available_zone=$CASCADED_AVAILABLE_ZONE
cascaded_region_name=$CASCADED_REGION_NAME
```
- Restart the cinder proxy.
```service openstack-cinder-volume restart```
- Done. The cinder proxy should be working with a demo configuration.
* **Automatic Installation**
- Make sure you have performed backups properly.
- Navigate to the installation directory and run installation script.
```
cd $LOCAL_REPOSITORY_DIR/installation
sudo bash ./install.sh
```
(replace the $... with actual directory name.)
- Done. The installation code should setup the cinder proxy with the minimum configuration below. Check the "Configurations" section for a full configuration guide.

```
* **Troubleshooting**
In case the automatic installation process is not complete, please check the followings:
- Make sure your OpenStack version is Icehouse.
- Check the variables in the beginning of the install.sh scripts. Your installation directories may be different from the default values we provide.
- The installation code will automatically add the related codes to $CINDER_PARENT_DIR/cinder and modify the related configuration.
- In case the automatic installation does not work, try to install manually.
Configurations
--------------
* This is a (default) configuration sample for the cinder proxy. Please add/modify these options in /etc/cinder/cinder.conf.
* Note:
- Please carefully make sure that options in the configuration file are not duplicated. If an option name already exists, modify its value instead of adding a new one of the same name.
- Please refer to the 'Configuration Details' section below for proper configuration and usage of costs and constraints.

#cascaded_available_zone of cinder-proxy must be the same as storage_availability_zone in
#the cascaded level node. And cinder-proxy should be configured to the same storage_availability_zone.
#this configuration could be removed in the future to just use the cinder-proxy storage_availability_zone
#configuration item. but it is up to the admin to make sure the storage_availability_zone in cinder-proxy#and casacdede cinder keep the same value.
