<title xml:id="ts_block_config">Troubleshooting your Block Storage Configuration</title>
<para>This section is intended to help solve some basic and common errors that are encountered
during setup and configuration of the Cinder block storage service. The focus here is on
failed creation of volumes. The most important thing to know is where to look in case of a
failure.</para>
<para>There are two log files that are especially helpful for solving volume creation failures,
the <systemitem class="service">cinder-api</systemitem> log and the <systemitem
class="service">cinder-volume</systemitem> log. The <systemitem class="service"
>cinder-api</systemitem> log is useful for determining if you have endpoint or
connectivity issues. If you send a request to create a volume and it fails, it's a good idea
to look in the <systemitem class="service">cinder-api</systemitem> log first and see if the
request even made it to the Cinder service. If the request is logged and there are no errors
or trace-backs, then you can check the <systemitem class="service"
>cinder-volume</systemitem> log for errors or trace-backs.</para>
<para>
<note>
<para>Create commands are listed in the <systemitem class="service"
>cinder-api</systemitem> log.</para>

<para>The following entries in the <filename>cinder.openstack.common.log</filename> file can

<para>Here are some common issues discovered during configuration, and some suggested solutions
.</para>
<para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>Issues with <literal>state_path</literal> and <literal>volumes_dir</literal>
settings.</para>
<para>Cinder uses <command>tgtd</command> as the default iscsi helper and implements
persistent targets. This means that in the case of a tgt restart or even a node
reboot your existing volumes on that node will be restored automatically with
their original IQN.</para>
<para>In order to make this possible the iSCSI target information needs to be stored
in a file on creation that can be queried in case of restart of the tgt daemon.
By default, Cinder uses a <literal>state_path</literal> variable, which if
installing with Yum or APT should be set to
<filename>/var/lib/cinder/</filename>. The next part is the
<literal>volumes_dir</literal> variable, by default this just simply appends
a "<literal>volumes</literal>" directory to the <literal>state_path</literal>.
The result is a file-tree <filename>/var/lib/cinder/volumes/</filename>.</para>
<para>While this should all be handled by the installer, it can go wrong. If you are
having trouble creating volumes and this directory does not exist you should see
an error message in the <systemitem class="service">cinder-volume</systemitem>
log indicating that the <literal>volumes_dir</literal> doesn't exist, and it
should give you information to specify what path exactly it was looking
for.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>The persistent tgt include file.</para>
<para>Along with the <literal>volumes_dir</literal> mentioned above, the iSCSI
target driver also needs to be configured to look in the correct place for the
persist files. This is a simple entry in <filename>/etc/tgt/conf.d</filename>,
and you should have created this when you went through the install guide. If you
haven't or you're running into issues, verify that you have a file
<filename>/etc/tgt/conf.d/cinder.conf</filename>.</para>
<para>If the file is not there, you can create with the following
command:
<screen><prompt>$</prompt> <userinput>sudo sh -c "echo 'include /var/lib/cinder/volumes/*' >> /etc/tgt/conf.d/cinder.conf"</userinput></screen>
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>No sign of attach call in the <systemitem class="service"
>cinder-api</systemitem> log.</para>
<para>This is most likely going to be a minor adjustment to your
<filename>nova.conf</filename> file. Make sure that your
<filename>nova.conf</filename> has the following
entry: <programlisting language="ini">volume_api_class=nova.volume.cinder.API</programlisting></para>
<caution>
<para>Make certain that you explicitly set <filename>enabled_apis</filename>
because the default will include
<filename>osapi_volume</filename>: <programlisting language="ini">enabled_apis=ec2,osapi_compute,metadata</programlisting>
</para>
</caution>
