This section describes how to install and configure the Block Storage service, code-named cinder, on the controller node. This service requires at least one additional storage node that provides volumes to instances.
Before you install and configure the Block Storage service, you must create a database, service credentials, and API endpoints.
To create the database, complete these steps:
Use the database access client to connect to the database
server as the root
user:
# mysql
Create the cinder
database:
MariaDB [(none)]> CREATE DATABASE cinder;
Grant proper access to the cinder
database:
MariaDB [(none)]> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON cinder.* TO 'cinder'@'localhost' \
IDENTIFIED BY 'CINDER_DBPASS';
MariaDB [(none)]> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON cinder.* TO 'cinder'@'%' \
IDENTIFIED BY 'CINDER_DBPASS';
Replace CINDER_DBPASS
with a suitable password.
Exit the database access client.
Source the admin
credentials to gain access to admin-only
CLI commands:
$ . admin-openrc
To create the service credentials, complete these steps:
Create a cinder
user:
$ openstack user create --domain default --password-prompt cinder
User Password:
Repeat User Password:
+---------------------+----------------------------------+
| Field | Value |
+---------------------+----------------------------------+
| domain_id | default |
| enabled | True |
| id | 9d7e33de3e1a498390353819bc7d245d |
| name | cinder |
| options | {} |
| password_expires_at | None |
+---------------------+----------------------------------+
Add the admin
role to the cinder
user:
$ openstack role add --project service --user cinder admin
Note
This command provides no output.
Create the cinderv2
and cinderv3
service entities:
$ openstack service create --name cinderv2 \
--description "OpenStack Block Storage" volumev2
+-------------+----------------------------------+
| Field | Value |
+-------------+----------------------------------+
| description | OpenStack Block Storage |
| enabled | True |
| id | eb9fd245bdbc414695952e93f29fe3ac |
| name | cinderv2 |
| type | volumev2 |
+-------------+----------------------------------+
$ openstack service create --name cinderv3 \
--description "OpenStack Block Storage" volumev3
+-------------+----------------------------------+
| Field | Value |
+-------------+----------------------------------+
| description | OpenStack Block Storage |
| enabled | True |
| id | ab3bbbef780845a1a283490d281e7fda |
| name | cinderv3 |
| type | volumev3 |
+-------------+----------------------------------+
Note
The Block Storage services require two service entities.
Create the Block Storage service API endpoints:
$ openstack endpoint create --region RegionOne \
volumev2 public http://controller:8776/v2/%\(project_id\)s
+--------------+------------------------------------------+
| Field | Value |
+--------------+------------------------------------------+

Note
The Block Storage services require endpoints for each service entity.
Install the packages:
# apt install cinder-api cinder-scheduler
Edit the /etc/cinder/cinder.conf
file and complete the
following actions:
In the [database]
section, configure database access:
[database]
# ...
connection = mysql+pymysql://cinder:CINDER_DBPASS@controller/cinder
Replace CINDER_DBPASS
with the password you chose for the
Block Storage database.
In the [DEFAULT]
section, configure RabbitMQ
message queue access:
[DEFAULT]
# ...
transport_url = rabbit://openstack:RABBIT_PASS@controller
Replace RABBIT_PASS
with the password you chose for the
openstack
account in RabbitMQ
.
In the [DEFAULT]
and [keystone_authtoken]
sections,
configure Identity service access:
[DEFAULT]
# ...
auth_strategy = keystone
[keystone_authtoken]
# ...
www_authenticate_uri = http://controller:5000
auth_url = http://controller:5000
memcached_servers = controller:11211
auth_type = password
project_domain_name = default
user_domain_name = default
project_name = service
username = cinder
password = CINDER_PASS
Replace CINDER_PASS
with the password you chose for
the cinder
user in the Identity service.
Note
Comment out or remove any other options in the
[keystone_authtoken]
section.
In the [DEFAULT]
section, configure the my_ip
option to
use the management interface IP address of the controller node:
[DEFAULT]
# ...
my_ip = 10.0.0.11
In the [oslo_concurrency]
section, configure the lock path:
[oslo_concurrency]
# ...
lock_path = /var/lib/cinder/tmp
Populate the Block Storage database:
# su -s /bin/sh -c "cinder-manage db sync" cinder
Note
Ignore any deprecation messages in this output.
Edit the /etc/nova/nova.conf
file and add the following
to it:
[cinder]
os_region_name = RegionOne
Restart the Compute API service:
# service nova-api restart
Restart the Block Storage services:
# service cinder-scheduler restart
# service apache2 restart
