Create and manage shares

General Concepts

A share is filesystem storage that you can create with manila. You can pick a network protocol for the underlying storage, manage access and perform lifecycle operations on the share via the manila command line tool.

Before we review the operations possible, lets take a look at certain important terms:

  • share network: This is a network that your shares can be exported to. Exporting shares to your own self-service isolated networks allows manila to provide hard network path data isolation guarantees in a multi-tenant cloud. To do so, under the hood, manila creates isolated share servers, and plugs them into your network. These share servers manage exports of your shares, and can connect to authentication domains that you determine. Manila performs all the lifecycle operations necessary on share servers, and you needn’t worry about them. The important thing to note is that your cloud administrator must have made a share type with extra-spec driver_handles_share_servers=True for you to be able to use share networks and create shares on them. See Create and manage share networks and Create and manage share network subnets for more details.

  • share type: A share type is a template made available by your administrator. You must always specify a share type when creating a share, unless you would like to use the default share type. It’s possible that your cloud administrator has not made a default share type accessible to you. Share types specify some capabilities for your use:

Capability

Possible values

Consequence

driver_handles_share_servers

true or false

you can or cannot use share networks to create shares

snapshot_support

true or false

you can or cannot create snapshots of shares

create_share_from_snapshot_support

true or false

you can or cannot create clones of share snapshots

revert_to_snapshot_support

true or false

you can or cannot revert your shares in-place to the most recent snapshot

mount_snapshot_support

true or false

you can or cannot export your snapshots and mount them

replication_type

dr

you can create replicas for disaster recovery, only one active export allowed at a time

readable

you can create read-only replicas, only one writable active export allowed at a time

writable

you can create read/write replicas, any number of active exports per share

availability_zones

a list of one or more availability zones

shares are limited to these availability zones

mount_point_name_support

true or false

share can or cannot have customized export location

provisioning:mount_point_prefix

string

prefix used for custom export location

Note

  • When replication_type extra specification is not present in the share type, you cannot create share replicas

  • When the availability_zones extra specification is not present in the share type, the share type can be used in all availability zones of the cloud.

  • When mount_point_name_support extra specification is not present in the share type, or is set to False, you cannot customize the export location.

  • status of resources: Resources that you create or modify with manila may not be “available” immediately. The API service is designed to respond immediately and the resource being created or modified is worked upon by the rest of the service stack. To indicate the readiness of resources, there are several attributes on the resources themselves and the user can watch these fields to know the state of the resource. For example, the status attribute in shares can convey some busy states such as “creating”, “extending”, “shrinking”, “migrating”. These “-ing” states end in a “available” state if everything goes well. They may end up in an “error” state in case there is an issue. See Troubleshooting asynchronous failures to determine if you can rectify these errors by yourself. If you cannot, consulting a more privileged user, usually a cloud administrator, might be useful.

  • snapshot: This is a point-in-time copy of a share. In manila, snapshots are meant to be crash consistent, however, you may need to quiesce any applications using the share to ensure that the snapshots are application consistent. Cloud administrators can enable or disable snapshots via share type extra specifications.

  • security service: This is an authentication domain that you define and associate with your share networks. It could be an Active Directory server, a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol server, or Kerberos. When used, access to shares can be controlled via these authentication domains. You may even combine multiple authentication domains.

    Note

    This Manila API does not validate the subnet information you supply right away. The validation is performed when creating a share with the share network. This is why, you do not see some subnet information populated on the share network resource until at least one share is created with it.

  • Create a share using scheduler hints to specify the host.

    With scheduler hints, you can optionally specify the affinity and anti-affinity rules in relation to other shares. The scheduler will enforce these rules when determining where to create the share. Possible keys are same_host and different_host, and the value must be the share name or id.

  • Create a share using mount_point_name.

    When mount_point_name_support is enabled by your administrator, you can specify a custom mount point name during share creation. This name will be used in conjunction with the prefix set by the administrator to form the share’s export location.

    The general workflow for using mount_point_name:

    • Creating a new share: Specify a custom mount_point_name using the –mount-point-name flag. The mount_point_name should not exceed 255 characters in length.

Grant and revoke share access

Tip

Starting from the 2023.2 (Bobcat) release, in case you want to restrict the visibility of the sensitive fields (access_to and access_key), or avoid the access rule being deleted by other users, you can specify --lock-visibility and --lock-deletion in the Manila OpenStack command for creating access rules. A reason (--lock-reason) can also be provided. Only the user that placed the lock, system administrators and services will be able to manipulate such access rules. In case the deletion of the access rule was locked, Manila will also place an additional lock on the share, to ensure it will not be deleted and cause disconnections.

Allow read-write access

  • Allow access.

    $ manila access-allow myshare ip 10.0.0.0/24 --metadata key1=value1
    +--------------+--------------------------------------+
    | Property     | Value                                |
    +--------------+--------------------------------------+
    | id           | e30bde96-9217-4f90-afdc-27c092af1c77 |

    | metadata     | {'key1': 'value1'}                   |
    +--------------+--------------------------------------+
    

    Note

    Since API version 2.38, access rules of type IP supports IPv6 addresses and subnets in CIDR notation.

    Note

    Since API version 2.45, metadata can be added, removed and updated for share access rules in a form of key=value pairs. Metadata can help you identify and filter access rules.

  • List access.

    $ manila access-list myshare

    Another access rule is created.

Note

In case one or more access rules had its visibility locked, you might not be able to see the content of the fields containing sensitive information (access_to and access_key).

Update access rules metadata

  1. Add a new metadata.

    $ manila access-metadata 0c8470ca-0d77-490c-9e71-29e1f453bf97 set key2=value2
    $ manila access-show 0c8470ca-0d77-490c-9e71-29e1f453bf97
    +--------------+--------------------------------------+
    | Property     | Value                                |
    +--------------+--------------------------------------+
    | id           | 0c8470ca-0d77-490c-9e71-29e1f453bf97 |
    | share_id     | 8d8b854b-ec32-43f1-acc0-1b2efa7c3400 |
    | access_level | rw                                   |
    | access_to    | 10.0.0.0/24                          |
    | access_type  | ip                                   |
    | state        | active                               |
    | access_key   | None                                 |
    | created_at   | 2016-03-24T14:51:36.000000           |
    | updated_at   | None                                 |
    | metadata     | {'key1': 'value1', 'key2': 'value2'} |
    +--------------+--------------------------------------+
    
  2. Remove a metadata key value.

    $ manila access-metadata 0c8470ca-0d77-490c-9e71-29e1f453bf97 unset key
    $ manila access-show 0c8470ca-0d77-490c-9e71-29e1f453bf97
    +--------------+--------------------------------------+
    | Property     | Value                                |
    +--------------+--------------------------------------+
    | id           | 0c8470ca-0d77-490c-9e71-29e1f453bf97 |
    | share_id     | 8d8b854b-ec32-43f1-acc0-1b2efa7c3400 |
    | access_level | rw                                   |
    | access_to    | 10.0.0.0/24                          |
    | access_type  | ip                                   |
    | state        | active                               |
    | access_key   | None                                 |
    | created_at   | 2016-03-24T14:51:36.000000           |
    | updated_at   | None                                 |
    | metadata     | {'key2': 'value2'}                   |
    +--------------+--------------------------------------+
    

Deny access

  • Deny access.

    $ manila access-deny myshare 45b0a030-306a-4305-9e2a-36aeffb2d5b7
    $ manila access-deny myshare e30bde96-9217-4f90-afdc-27c092af1c77
    

Note

Starting from the 2023.2 (Bobcat) release, it is possible to prevent the deletion of an access rule. In case you have placed a deletion lock during the access rule creation, the --unrestrict argument from the Manila’s OpenStack Client must be used in the request to revoke the access.

  • List access.

    $ manila access-list myshare
    +----+-------------+-----------+--------------+-------+------------+------------+------------+
    | id | access_type | access_to | access_level | state | access_key | created_at | updated_at |
    +----+-------------+-----------+--------------+-------+------------+------------+------------+
    +----+-------------+-----------+--------------+-------+------------+------------+------------+
    

    The access rules are removed.

Share revert to snapshot

  • Share revert to snapshot

    Note

    • To revert a share to its snapshot, the share type of the share must contain the capability extra-spec revert_to_snapshot_support=True.

    • The revert operation can only be performed to the most recent available snapshot of the share known to manila. If revert to an earlier snapshot is desired, later snapshots must explicitly be deleted.

    $ manila revert-to-snapshot mysnapshot
    

Share Transfer

  • Transfer a share to a different project

    Note

    • Share transfer is available for driver_handles_share_servers=False, only supports transferring shares that are not created with a share network.

    • Shares that are in transitional states, or possessing replicas, or within share groups cannot be transferred.

    Note

    A delete (deletion) lock on a share would prevent deletion and other actions on a share that are similar to deletion. Similar actions include moving a share to the recycle bin for deferred deletion (soft deletion) or removing a share from the Shared File Systems service (unmanage).
