Add a Cinder guide
Based upon Paul's work with Swift documentation, I decided to add a bit of Cinder documentation since Cinder isn't totally obvious. Change-Id: I502d88200ae9fd0e8a87d9981424903be9612cd5

Cinder in Kolla
|
||||
===============
|
||||
|
||||
Overview
|
||||
--------
|
||||
Currently Kolla can deploy the cinder services:
|
||||
|
||||
- cinder-api
|
||||
- cinder-scheduler
|
||||
- cinder-backup
|
||||
- cinder-volume
|
||||
|
||||
The cinder implementation defaults to using LVM storage. The default
|
||||
implementation requires a volume group be set up. This can either be
|
||||
a real physical volume or a loopback mounted file for development.
|
||||
|
||||
Create a Volume Group
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
Use pvcreate and vgcreate to create the volume group. For example with
|
||||
the devices /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc:
|
||||
|
||||
::
|
||||
|
||||
<WARNING ALL DATA ON /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc will be LOST!>
|
||||
|
||||
pvcreate /dev/sdb /dev/sdc
|
||||
vgcreate cinder-volumes /dev/sdb /dev/sdc
|
||||
|
||||
During development, it may be desireable to use file backed block storage. It
|
||||
is possible to use a file and mount it as a block device via the loopback
|
||||
system.
|
||||
|
||||
::
|
||||
|
||||
mknod /dev/loop2 b 7 2
|
||||
dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/lib/cinder_data.img bs=1g count=20
|
||||
losetup /dev/loop2 /var/lib/cinder_data.img
|
||||
pvcreate /dev/loop2
|
||||
vgcreate cinder-volumes /dev/loop2
|
||||
|
||||
Validation
|
||||
----------
|
||||
|
||||
Create a volume as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
::
|
||||
|
||||
$ openstack volume create --size 1 steak_volume
|
||||
<bunch of stuff printed>
|
||||
|
||||
Verify it is available. If it says "error" here something went wrong during
|
||||
LVM creation of the volume.
|
||||
|
||||
::
|
||||
|
||||
$ openstack volume list
|
||||
+--------------------------------------+--------------+-----------+------+-------------+
|
||||
| ID | Display Name | Status | Size | Attached to |
|
||||
+--------------------------------------+--------------+-----------+------+-------------+
|
||||
| 0069c17e-8a60-445a-b7f0-383a8b89f87e | steak_volume | available | 1 | |
|
||||
+--------------------------------------+--------------+-----------+------+-------------+
|
||||
|
||||
Attach the volume to a server using:
|
||||
|
||||
::
|
||||
|
||||
openstack server add volume steak_server 0069c17e-8a60-445a-b7f0-383a8b89f87e
|
||||
|
||||
Check the console log added the disk:
|
||||
|
||||
::
|
||||
|
||||
opoenstack console log show steak_server
|
||||
|
||||
A /dev/vdb should appear in the console log, atleast when booting cirros.
|
||||
If the disk stays in the available state, something went wrong during the
|
||||
iSCSI mounting of the volume to the guest VM.
