Configure KIOXIA Kumoscale NVMeOF backend

This section details the steps required to configure the KIOXIA Kumoscale storage cinder driver.

  1. In the cinder.conf configuration file under the [DEFAULT] section, set the enabled_backends parameter.

    [DEFAULT]
enabled_backends = kumoscale-1

  2. Add a backend group section for the backend group specified in the enabled_backends parameter.

  3. In the newly created backend group section, set the following configuration options:

    [kumoscale-1]
# Backend name
volume_backend_name=kumoscale-1
# The driver path
volume_driver=cinder.volume.drivers.kioxia.kumoscale.KumoScaleBaseVolumeDriver
# Kumoscale provisioner URL
kioxia_url=https://70.0.0.13:30100
# Kumoscale provisioner cert file
kioxia_cafile=/etc/kioxia/ssdtoolbox.pem
# Kumoscale provisioner token
token=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9...
