NFS back-end

If the NetApp back end is configured to use an NFS storage protocol, edit /etc/openstack_deploy/openstack_user_config.yml, and configure the NFS client on each storage node that will use it.

1. Add the cinder_backends stanza (which includes cinder_nfs_client) under the container_vars stanza for each storage node:

   container_vars:
     cinder_backends:
       cinder_nfs_client:
   

2. Configure the location of the file that lists shares available to the block storage service. This configuration file must include nfs_shares_config:

   nfs_shares_config: SHARE_CONFIG
   

   Replace SHARE_CONFIG with the location of the share configuration file. For example, /etc/cinder/nfs_shares.

3. Configure one or more NFS shares:

   shares:
      - { ip: "NFS_HOST", share: "NFS_SHARE" }
   

   Replace NFS_HOST with the IP address or hostname of the NFS server, and the NFS_SHARE with the absolute path to an existing and accessible NFS share.
