Setup

All of our testing has been done in a DevStack environment. Here is a link to their website / setup instructions:

http://devstack.org/

Before running ./stack.sh make sure to add these to your devstack/local.conf file (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.

Things to Note

• Make sure that you run the setup with a non root user

• • This user needs to have password-less sudo privileges

• DevStack runs a bunch of sessions in screens

• • http://www.rushiagr.com/blog/2013/06/05/linux-screens-in-devstack/

• Touch and chmod 777 the file "/var/log/qs_cinder.log" to have the QuantaStor driver also log to a seperate file

Features

• Volume create/delete
• Volume create/delete snapshot
• Volume attach/detach
• Extend volume
• Create volume from snapshot
• Clone volume
