Option 1 - Create shares without share servers management support¶

Create a share type¶

Disable DHSS before creating a share using the LVM driver.

1. Source the admin credentials to gain access to admin-only CLI commands:

   $ . admin-openrc
   

2. Create a default share type with DHSS disabled:

   $ manila type-create default_share_type False
   +----------------------+--------------------------------------+
   | Property             | Value                                |
   +----------------------+--------------------------------------+
   | required_extra_specs | driver_handles_share_servers : False |
   | Name                 | default_share_type                   |
   | Visibility           | public                               |
   | is_default           | -                                    |
   | ID                   | 3df065c8-6ca4-4b80-a5cb-e633c0439097 |
   | optional_extra_specs | snapshot_support : True              |
   +----------------------+--------------------------------------+
   

Create a share¶

1. Source the demo credentials to perform the following steps as a non-administrative project:

   $ . demo-openrc
   

2. Create a NFS share:

   $ manila create NFS 1 --name share1
   +-----------------------------+--------------------------------------+
   | Property                    | Value                                |
   +-----------------------------+--------------------------------------+
   | status                      | creating                             |

   | access_rules_status         | active                               |
   | snapshot_id                 | None                                 |
   | is_public                   | False                                |

   | name                        | share1                               |

   +-----------------------------+--------------------------------------+
   

3. After some time, the share status should change from creating to available:

   $ manila list
   +--------------------------------------+--------+------+-------------+-----------+-----------+--------------------+-----------------------------+-------------------+
   | ID                                   | Name   | Size | Share Proto | Status    | Is Public | Share Type Name    | Host                        | Availability Zone |
   +--------------------------------------+--------+------+-------------+-----------+-----------+--------------------+-----------------------------+-------------------+
   | 55c401b3-3112-4294-aa9f-3cc355a4e361 | share1 | 1    | NFS         | available | False     | default_share_type | storage@lvm#lvm-single-pool | nova              |
   +--------------------------------------+--------+------+-------------+-----------+-----------+--------------------+-----------------------------+-------------------+
   

4. Determine export IP address of the share:

   $ manila show share1
   +-----------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
   | Property                    | Value                                                                              |
   +-----------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
   | status                      | available                                                                          |
   | share_type_name             | default_share_type                                                                 |
   | description                 | None                                                                               |
   | availability_zone           | nova                                                                               |
   | share_network_id            | None                                                                               |
   | export_locations            |                                                                                    |

   |                             | preferred = False                                                                  |

   +-----------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
   

5. Configure user access to the new share before attempting to mount it via the network:

   $ manila access-allow share1 ip INSTANCE_IP_ADDRESS
   +--------------+--------------------------------------+
   | Property     | Value                                |
   +--------------+--------------------------------------+
   | share_id     | 55c401b3-3112-4294-aa9f-3cc355a4e361 |
   | access_type  | ip                                   |
   | access_to    | 10.0.0.41                            |
   | access_level | rw                                   |
   | state        | new                                  |
   | id           | f88eab01-7197-44bf-ad0f-d6ca6f99fc96 |
   +--------------+--------------------------------------+
   

   Replace INSTANCE_IP_ADDRESS with the IP address of the instance.

   Note

   The instance must have connectivity to the management IP address on the storage node.

Mount the share from an instance¶

1. Create a folder where the mount will be placed:

   $ mkdir ~/test_folder
   

2. Mount the NFS share in the instance using the export location of the share:

   # mount -t nfs 10.0.0.41:/var/lib/manila/mnt/share-b94a4dbf-49e2-452c-b9c7-510277adf5c6 ~/test_folder
   

For more information about how to manage shares, see the Manage shares in OpenStack End User Guide.

Return to Launch an instance.
