The
HPLeftHandISCSIDriver
is installed with the OpenStack software.
If you are not using an existing cluster, create a cluster on the HP Lefthand storage system to be used as the cluster for creating volumes.
Make the following changes in the
/etc/cinder/cinder.conf
file.## REQUIRED SETTINGS # VIP of your Virtual Storage Appliance (VSA). san_ip=
10.10.0.141
# LeftHand Super user username san_login=lhuser
# LeftHand Super user password san_password=lhpass
# LeftHand ssh port, the default for the VSA is usually 16022. san_ssh_port=16022 # LeftHand cluster to use for volume creation san_clustername=ClusterLefthand
# LeftHand iSCSI driver volume_driver=cinder.volume.drivers.san.hp.hp_lefthand_iscsi.HPLeftHandISCSIDriver ## OPTIONAL SETTINGS # LeftHand provisioning, to disable thin provisioning, set to # set to False. san_thin_provision=True # Typically, this parameter is set to False, for this driver. # To configure the CLIQ commands to run locally instead of over ssh, # set this parameter to True san_is_local=FalseSave the changes to the
cinder.conf
file and restart thecinder-volume
service.
The HP LeftHand/StoreVirtual driver is now enabled in legacy mode on your OpenStack system. If you experience problems, review the Block Storage service log files for errors.
To configure the VSA
Configure CHAP on each of the
nova-compute
nodes.Add server associations on the VSA with the associated CHAPS and initiator information. The name should correspond to the
hostname
of thenova-compute
node. For Xen, this is the hypervisor host name. To do this, use either CLIQ or the Centralized Management Console.
