 Enable the Fibre Channel or iSCSI drivers

The DPLFCDriver and DPLISCSIDriver are installed with the OpenStack software.

  1. Query storage pool id for configure dpl_pool of the cinder.conf.

    1. Logon onto the storage system with administrator access.

      $ ssh root@STORAGE IP ADDRESS
    2. View the current usable pool id.

      $ flvcli show pool list
      - d5bd40b58ea84e9da09dcf25a01fdc07 : default_pool_dc07
    3. Use d5bd40b58ea84e9da09dcf25a01fdc07 to config the dpl_pool of /etc/cinder/cinder.conf.

    [Note]Note

    Other management command can reference by command help flvcli -h.

  2. Make the following changes on the volume node /etc/cinder/cinder.conf file.

    # IP address of SAN controller (string value)
    san_ip=STORAGE IP ADDRESS
    
    # Username for SAN controller (string value)
    san_login=USERNAME
    
    # Password for SAN controller (string value)
    san_password=PASSWORD
    
    # Use thin provisioning for SAN volumes? (boolean value)
    san_thin_provision=true
    
    # The port that the iSCSI daemon is listening on. (integer value)
    iscsi_port=3260
    
    # DPL pool uuid in which DPL volumes are stored. (string value)
    dpl_pool=d5bd40b58ea84e9da09dcf25a01fdc07
    
    # DPL port number. (integer value)
    dpl_port=8357
    
    # Uncomment one of the next two option to enable Fibre channel or iSCSI
    # FIBRE CHANNEL(uncomment the next line to enable the FC driver)
    #volume_driver=cinder.volume.drivers.prophetstor.dpl_fc.DPLFCDriver
    # iSCSI (uncomment the next line to enable the iSCSI driver)
    #volume_driver=cinder.volume.drivers.prophetstor.dpl_iscsi.DPLISCSIDriver
  3. Save the changes to the /etc/cinder/cinder.conf file and restart the cinder-volume service.

The ProphetStor Fibre Channel or iSCSI drivers are now enabled on your OpenStack system. If you experience problems, review the Block Storage service log files for errors.

The following table contains the options supported by the ProphetStor storage driver.

[DEFAULT]
dpl_pool = (StrOpt) DPL pool uuid in which DPL volumes are stored.
dpl_port = 8357 (IntOpt) DPL port number.
iscsi_port = 3260 (IntOpt) The port that the iSCSI daemon is listening on
san_ip = (StrOpt) IP address of SAN controller
san_login = admin (StrOpt) Username for SAN controller
