Quobyte provides a software defined storage system running on plain Linux servers. Quobyte allows reconfiguration at runtime without storage service interruption. Storage behaviour is fully configurable via policies which also control automation and hardware independent configuration. Quobyte users can find more information via the documentation link at http://support.quobyte.com/.
This driver enables the use of Quobyte storage in a similar fashion as NFS. It supports basic volume operations, including snapshot and clone.
To use Block Storage with Quobyte, first set the
volume_driver configuration option in the
cinder.conf file:
volume_driver = cinder.volume.drivers.quobyte.QuobyteDriver
The following table contains the configuration options supported by the Quobyte volume driver.
| Configuration option = Default value | Description |
|---|---|
| [DEFAULT] | |
quobyte_client_cfg = None |
(StrOpt) Path to a Quobyte Client configuration file. |
quobyte_mount_point_base = $state_path/mnt |
(StrOpt) Base dir containing the mount point for the Quobyte volume. |
quobyte_qcow2_volumes = True |
(BoolOpt) Create volumes as QCOW2 files rather than raw files. |
quobyte_sparsed_volumes = True |
(BoolOpt) Create volumes as sparse files which take no space. If set to False, volume is created as regular file.In such case volume creation takes a lot of time. |
quobyte_volume_url = None |
(StrOpt) URL to the Quobyte volume e.g., quobyte://<DIR host>/<volume name> |
