Macrosan Driver for OpenStack Manila¶
The Macrosan driver provides NFS and CIFS shared file systems to Openstack.
Requirements¶
The following service should be enabled on NAS system:
CIFS
NFS
Supported Operations¶
The following operations are supported:
Create CIFS/NFS Share
Delete CIFS/NFS Share
Allow CIFS/NFS Share access
Only IP access type is supported for NFS (ro/rw).
Only USER access type is supported for CIFS (ro/rw).
Deny CIFS/NFS Share access
Extend a share.
Shrink a share.
Backend Configuration¶
The following parameters need to be configured in the [DEFAULT] section of manila configuration (/etc/manila/manila.conf):
enabled_share_backends - Name of the section on manila.conf used to specify a backend i.e. enabled_share_backends = macrosan
enabled_share_protocols - Specify a list of protocols to be allowed for share creation. The VPSA driver support the following options: NFS or CIFS or NFS, CIFS
The following parameters need to be configured in the [backend] section of manila configuration (/etc/manila/manila.conf):
share_backend_name = <backend name to enable>
share_driver = manila.share.drivers.macrosan.macrosan_nas.MacrosanNasDriver
driver_handles_share_servers = False
macrosan_nas_ip = <IP address for access to the NAS controller>
macrosan_nas_port = <Port number for access to the NAS controller>
macrosan_nas_user = <username for access>
macrosan_nas_password = <password for the user specified in macrosan_nas_user>
macrosan_share_pools = <Poolname of the NAS controller>
Back-end configuration example¶
[DEFAULT]
enabled_share_backends = macrosan
enabled_share_protocols = NFS, CIFS
[macrosan]
share_backend_name = MACROSAN
share_driver = manila.share.drivers.macrosan.macrosan_nas.MacrosanNasDriver
driver_handles_share_servers = False
macrosan_nas_ip = FAKE_IP
macrosan_nas_port = 8443
macrosan_nas_user = FAKE_USER
macrosan_nas_password = FAKE_PASSWORD
macrosan_share_pools = fake_pool1, fake_pool2
