Huawei NAS driver is a plug-in based on the Shared File Systems service. The Huawei NAS driver can be used to provide functions such as the share and snapshot for virtual machines, or instances, in OpenStack. Huawei NAS driver enables the OceanStor V3 series V300R002 storage system to provide only network filesystems for OpenStack.
Create a driver configuration file. The driver configuration file
name must be the same as the manila_huawei_conf_file
item in the
manila_conf
configuration file.
Configure the product. Product indicates the storage system type. For the OceanStor V3 series V300R002 storage systems, the driver configuration file is as follows:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<Config>
<Storage>
<Product>V3</Product>
<LogicalPortIP>x.x.x.x</LogicalPortIP>
<RestURL>https://x.x.x.x:8088/deviceManager/rest/</RestURL>
<UserName>xxxxxxxxx</UserName>
<UserPassword>xxxxxxxxx</UserPassword>
</Storage>
<Filesystem>
<Thin_StoragePool>xxxxxxxxx</Thin_StoragePool>
<Thick_StoragePool>xxxxxxxxx</Thick_StoragePool>
<WaitInterval>3</WaitInterval>
<Timeout>60</Timeout>
</Filesystem>
</Config>
The options are:
Product
is a type of storage product. Set it to V3
.LogicalPortIP
is the IP address of the logical port.RestURL
is an access address of the REST interface.
Multiple RestURLs can be configured in <RestURL>
,
separated by “;”. The driver will automatically retry another
RestURL
if one fails to connect.UserName
is the user name of an administrator.UserPassword
is the password of an administrator.Thin_StoragePool
is the name of a thin storage pool to be used.Thick_StoragePool
is the name of a thick storage pool to be used.WaitInterval
is the interval time of querying the file
system status.Timeout
is the timeout period for waiting command
execution of a device to complete.Modify the manila.conf
Shared File Systems service configuration
file and add share_driver
and manila_huawei_conf_file
items.
Here is an example for configuring a storage system:
share_driver = manila.share.drivers.huawei.huawei_nas.HuaweiNasDriver
manila_huawei_conf_file = /etc/manila/manila_huawei_conf.xml
driver_handles_share_servers = False
