Quobyte driver
==============
The `Quobyte <http://www.quobyte.com/>`__ volume driver enables storing Block
Storage service volumes on a Quobyte storage back end. Block Storage service
back ends are mapped to Quobyte volumes and individual Block Storage service
volumes are stored as files on a Quobyte volume. Selection of the appropriate
Quobyte volume is done by the aforementioned back end configuration that
specifies the Quobyte volume explicitly.
.. note::
Note the dual use of the term ``volume`` in the context of Block Storage
service volumes and in the context of Quobyte volumes.
For more information see `the Quobyte support webpage
<http://support.quobyte.com/>`__.
Supported operations
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Quobyte volume driver supports the following volume operations:
- Create, delete, attach, and detach volumes
- Secure NAS operation (Starting with Mitaka release secure NAS operation is
optional but still default)
- Create and delete a snapshot
- Create a volume from a snapshot
- Extend a volume
- Clone a volume
- Copy a volume to image
- Generic volume migration (no back end optimization)
.. note::
When running VM instances off Quobyte volumes, ensure that the `Quobyte
Compute service driver <https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Nova/Quobyte>`__
has been configured in your OpenStack cloud.
Configuration
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To activate the Quobyte volume driver, configure the corresponding
``volume_driver`` parameter:
.. code-block:: ini
volume_driver = cinder.volume.drivers.quobyte.QuobyteDriver
The following table contains the configuration options supported by the
Quobyte driver:
