Shared File Systems Option 2: Driver support for share servers management¶

Prerequisites¶

Before you proceed, verify operation of the Compute, Networking, and Block Storage services. This options requires implementation of Networking option 2 and requires installation of some Networking service components on the storage node.

• Install the Networking service components:

  # apt-get install neutron-plugin-linuxbridge-agent
  

Configure components¶

1. Edit the /etc/manila/manila.conf file and complete the following actions:

   • In the [DEFAULT] section, enable the generic driver and the NFS/CIFS protocols:

     [DEFAULT]
     ...
     enabled_share_backends = generic
     enabled_share_protocols = NFS,CIFS
     

     Note

     Back end names are arbitrary. As an example, this guide uses the name of the driver.

   • In the [neutron], [nova], and [cinder] sections, enable authentication for those services:

     [neutron]
     ...
     url = http://controller:9696
     auth_uri = http://controller:5000
     auth_url = http://controller:35357
     memcached_servers = controller:11211
     auth_type = password
     project_domain_name = default
     user_domain_name = default
     region_name = RegionOne
     project_name = service
     username = neutron
     password = NEUTRON_PASS
     
     [nova]
     ...
     auth_uri = http://controller:5000
     auth_url = http://controller:35357
     memcached_servers = controller:11211
     auth_type = password
     project_domain_name = default
     user_domain_name = default
     region_name = RegionOne
     project_name = service
     username = nova
     password = NOVA_PASS
     
     [cinder]
     ...
     auth_uri = http://controller:5000
     auth_url = http://controller:35357
     memcached_servers = controller:11211
     auth_type = password
     project_domain_name = default
     user_domain_name = default
     region_name = RegionOne
     project_name = service
     username = cinder
     password = CINDER_PASS
     

   • In the [generic] section, configure the generic driver:

     [generic]
     share_backend_name = GENERIC
     share_driver = manila.share.drivers.generic.GenericShareDriver
     driver_handles_share_servers = True
     service_instance_flavor_id = 100
     service_image_name = manila-service-image
     service_instance_user = manila
     service_instance_password = manila
     interface_driver = manila.network.linux.interface.BridgeInterfaceDriver
     

     Note

     You can also use SSH keys instead of password authentication for service instance credentials.

Return to Finalize installation.
