It is an effort to document manila install guide. Only Ubuntu distro has been properly updated until now. Liberty packages have been used for the tests, but it can be changed to mitaka as soon as they are available. Thanks in advance for any feedback about this initial effort.

The OpenStack Shared File Systems service provides coordinated access to
|
|
shared or distributed file systems. The method in which the share is
|
|
provisioned and consumed is determined by the Shared File Systems driver, or
|
|
drivers in the case of a multi-backend configuration. There are a variety of
|
|
drivers that support NFS, CIFS, HDFS and/or protocols as well.
|
|
The Shared File Systems API and scheduler services typically run on the
|
|
controller nodes. Depending upon the drivers used, the share service can run
|
|
on controllers, compute nodes, or storage nodes.

|
For simplicity, this guide describes configuring the Shared File Systems
|
|
service to use the ``generic`` back end with the driver handles share
|
|
server mode (DHSS) enabled that uses Compute (nova), Networking (neutron)
|
|
and Block storage (cinder) services.
|
|
Networking service configuration requires the capability of networks being
|
|
attached to a public router in order to create share networks.
|
|
|
|
Before you proceed, ensure that Compute, Networking and Block storage
|
|
services are properly working. For networking service, ensure that option
|
|
2 is properly configured.
