OpenStack Cinder
Setup
All of our testing has been done in a DevStack environment. Here is a link to their website / setup instructions:
Before running ./stack.sh make sure to add these to your devstack/local.conf file. If there is no local.conf file, you can create your own, or copy the file in the devstack/samples/ directory (replace with values for your QuantaStor)
[[post-config|$CINDER_CONF]] [DEFAULT] volume_driver=cinder.volume.drivers.QuantaStor.QuantaStorDriver qs_ip=192.168.0.101 qs_pool_id=fdb0f5c5-834a-1220-96a1-9a5d3f6664a9 qs_user = admin qs_password = password
These two lines need to be added to the /opt/stack/cinder/cinder/volume/manager.py file:
'cinder.volume.drivers.QuantaStor.QuantaStorDriver': 'cinder.volume.drivers.QuantaStor.QuantaStorDriver',
For me it is right after line 96. It is in the "MAPPING = {" section with all the other drivers.
Also before running ./stack.sh, make sure that you run the setup with a non root user. This user needs to have password-less sudo privileges to make the process much easier. To create such a user, go through the following steps.
- In your linux session, type : 'cd devstack'
- Use a text editor to access /etc/sudoers like : 'sudo visudo /etc/sudoers'
- Find a line that should look similar, if not identical to this : '%root All=(ALL) ALL'
- Under that line, write this, making sure to replace 'user' with your username : 'user ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL'
Things to Note
- DevStack runs a bunch of sessions in screens
- Touch and chmod 777 the file "/var/log/qs_cinder.log" to have the QuantaStor driver also log to a seperate file
