The Scality SOFS volume driver interacts with configured sfused mounts. The Scality SOFS driver manages volumes as sparse files stored on a Scality Ring through sfused. Ring connection settings and sfused options are defined in the cinder.conf file and the configuration file pointed to by the scality_sofs_config option, typically /etc/sfused.conf. The Scality SOFS volume driver provides the following Block Storage volume operations: Create, delete, attach (map), and detach (unmap) volumes. Create, list, and delete volume snapshots. Create a volume from a snapshot. Copy an image to a volume. Copy a volume to an image. Clone a volume. Extend a volume. Backup a volume. Restore backup to new or existing volume. Use the following instructions to update the cinder.conf configuration file: [DEFAULT] enabled_backends = scality-1 [scality-1] volume_driver=cinder.volume.drivers.scality.ScalityDriver volume_backend_name = scality-1 scality_sofs_config=/etc/sfused.conf scality_sofs_mount_point=/cinder scality_sofs_volume_dir=cinder/volumes Use the following instructions to update the nova.conf configuration file: [libvirt] scality_sofs_mount_point = /cinder scality_sofs_config = /etc/sfused.conf
