Wallaby Series Release Notes

18.2.1-12

New Features

  • Pure Storage FlashArray driver: added configuration option pure_iscsi_cidr_list for setting several network CIDRs for iSCSI target connection. Both IPv4 and IPv6 is supported. The default still allows all IPv4 targets.

Upgrade Notes

  • This release introduces a new configuration option, vmdk_allowed_types, that specifies the list of VMDK image subformats that Cinder will allow. The default setting allows only the ‘streamOptimized’ and ‘monolithicSparse’ subformats, which do not use named extents.

Security Issues

  • This release introduces a new configuration option, vmdk_allowed_types, that specifies the list of VMDK image subformats that Cinder will allow in order to prevent exposure of host information by modifying the named extents in a VMDK image. The default setting allows only the ‘streamOptimized’ and ‘monolithicSparse’ subformats, which do not use named extents.

  • As part of the fix for Bug #1996188, cinder is now more strict in checking that the disk_format recorded for an image (as revealed by the Image Service API image-show response) matches what cinder detects when it downloads the image. Thus, some requests to create a volume from a source image that had previously succeeded may fail with an ImageUnacceptable error.

Bug Fixes

  • Bug #1953168: Fixed missing parameter in the capacity filter log message.

  • Infinidat Driver bug #1981354: Fixed Infinidat driver to return all configured and enabled iSCSI portals for a given network space.

  • Bug #1996188: Fixed issue where a VMDK image file whose createType allowed named extents could expose host information. This change introduces a new configuration option, vmdk_allowed_types, that specifies the list of VMDK image subformats that Cinder will allow. The default setting allows only the ‘streamOptimized’ and ‘monolithicSparse’ subformats.

  • PowerStore driver bug #1981068: Fixed request data validation for the REST client.

  • Pure Storage FlashArray driver bug 1910143: Parameter pure_iscsi_cidr is now IPv4/v6 agnostic.

Other Notes

18.2.1

Bug Fixes

  • Bug #1944577: Managing a volume to an encrypted type was never a good idea because there was no way to specify an encryption key ID so that the volume could be used. Requests to manage a volume to an encrypted volume type now result in an invalid request response.

  • Bug #1965847: Fixed issue where importing a backup record for a backup_id that currently existed had the unfortunate side effect of deleting the existing backup record.

  • Bug #1970768: Fixed status of temporary volumes when creating backups and reverting to a snapshot, preventing accidental manual deletion of those resources.

  • NFS driver bug #1946059: Fixed revert to snapshot operation.

  • NetApp ONTAP: Fix check QoS minimum support for SVM scoped account. See: Bug #1924798.

18.2.0

Upgrade Notes

  • RBD driver: Enable Ceph V2 Clone API and Ceph Trash auto purge

    In light of the fix for RBD driver bug #1941815, we want to bring the following information to your attention.

    Using the v2 clone format for cloned volumes allows volumes with dependent images to be moved to the trash - where they remain until purged - and allow the RBD driver to postpone the deletion until the volume has no dependent images. Configuring the trash purge is recommended to avoid wasting space with these trashed volumes. Since the Ceph Octopus release, the trash can be configured to automatically purge on a defined schedule. See the rbd trash purge schedule commands in the rbd manpage.

Bug Fixes

  • Bug #1935688: Cinder only supports uploading a volume of an encrypted volume type as an image to the Image service in raw format using a bare container type. Previously, os-volume_upload_image action requests to the Block Storage API specifying different format option values were accepted, but would result in a later failure. This condition is now checked at the API layer, and os-volume_upload_image action requests on a volume of an encrypted type that specify unsupported values for disk_format or container_format now result in a 400 (Bad Request) response.

  • RBD driver bug #1941815: Fixed deleting volumes with snapshots/volumes in the ceph trash space.

  • RBD driver bug #1947518: Corrected a regression caused by the fix for Bug #1931004 that was attempting to access the glance images RBD pool with write privileges when creating a volume from an image.

  • Bug #1947134: Fixed the initialization of GPFS NFS driver when gpfs_images_share_mode is set to copy_on_write by correcting _same_filesystem functionality.

  • Bug #1947123: Fixed the volume creation issue in GPFS NFS driver when gpfs_images_share_mode is set to copy_on_write.

  • PowerMax driver bug #1929429: Fixes child/parent storage group check so that a pattern match is not case sensitive. For example, myStorageGroup should equal MYSTORAGEGROUP and mystoragegroup.

  • Pure Storage driver Bug #1945824: Fixed missing DB values when creating new consistency group from CG snapshot.

  • Bug #1916980: Fixed stale volume notification information on volume detach.

  • Bug #1935011: Fixed missing detach.start notification when deleting an attachment in reserved state.

  • Bug #1937084: Fixed race condition between delete attachment and delete volume that can leave deleted volumes stuck as attached to instances.

  • Bug #1924643: Fixed the NetApp cinder driver sub-clone operation that might be used by extend operation in case the extended size is greater than the max LUN geometry.

  • Bug #1950474: Fixed policy authorization for transfer accept API. Previously, if an operator had overridden the default transfer accept policy to something project specific in policy.yaml file, it would break the transfer accept API which is fixed in this release.

  • Bug #1941068: Fixed type of the host configuration option. It was limited to valid FQDN values when we document that it isn’t. This may result in the cinder-manage db sync command failing.

  • Bug #1935057: Fixed sometimes on a detach volume may end in available and detached yet have an attachment in error_detaching.

  • Bug #1886543: On retypes requiring a migration, try to use the driver assisted mechanism when moving from one backend to another when we know it’s safe from the volume type perspective.

18.1.0

New Features

  • Log a warning from the volume service when a volume driver’s get_volume_stats() call takes a long time to return. This can help deployers troubleshoot a cinder-volume service misbehaving due to a driver/backend performance issue.

Upgrade Notes

  • Pure Storage FlashArray minimum purestorage SDK version increased to 1.17.0

Bug Fixes

  • PowerFlex driver bug #1897598: Fixed bug with PowerFlex storage-assisted volume migration when volume migration was performed without conversion of volume type in cases where it should have been converted to/from thin/thick provisioned.

  • RBD driver Bug #1922408: Fixed create encrypted volume from encrypted snapshot.

  • PowerMax driver bug #1939139: Fix on create snapshot operation that exists when using PowerMax OS 5978.711 and later.

  • Fixed the schema validation for attachment create API to make instance uuid an optional field. It had mistakenly been defined as a required field when schema validation was added in an earlier release. Also updated the schema to allow specification of the mode parameter, which has been available since microversion >= 3.54, but which was not recognized as a legitimate request field.

  • NetApp ONTAP bug #1906291: Fix volume losing its QoS policy on the backend after moving it (migrate or retype with migrate) to a NetApp NFS backend.

  • NFS driver bug #1860913: Fixed instance uses base image file when it is rebooted after online snapshot creation.

  • PowerMax driver: Previously, the target storage group created from a replicated storage group was also replicated, which could cause failures. This fix creates a non-replicated target initially, and lets the replicate group API take care of replicating it.

  • PowerMax driver: Fix to suspend the storage group you are about to delete and then add a force flag to delete the volume pairs within the storage group.

  • Pure Storage FlashArray driver bug #1936663: Fixes issue where cloning a consistency group containing volumes with very long names causes a crash - Required for PowerVC support

  • Pure Storage FlashArray driver bug #1929219: Fixes issue with incorrect internal mechanism for checking REST API of backend array. This has no external effect for users.

  • Pure Storage FlashArray driver bug #1938579: Fixes issue when cloning multiple volumes in PowerVC deployments.

  • Pure Storage bug #1930748: Fixed issues with multiattched volumes being diconnected from a backend when still listed as an attachment to an instance.

  • Bug #1931004: Fixed use of incorrect stripe unit in RBD image clone causing volume-from-image to fail when using raw images backed by Ceph.

  • Bug #1898075: When Glance added support for multiple cinder stores, Images API version 2.11 modified the format of the image location URI, which Cinder reads in order to try to use an optimized data path when creating a volume from an image. Unfortunately, Cinder did not understand the new format and when Glance multiple cinder stores were used, Cinder could not use the optimized data path, and instead downloaded image data from the Image service. Cinder now supports Images API version 2.11.

18.0.0

Prelude

Welcome to the Wallaby release of the OpenStack Block Storage service (cinder). With this release, the Block Storage API version 3 has reached microversion 3.64.

New Features

  • Added revert to snapshot feature in Nimble driver.

  • IBM Spectrum Virtualize: Added support to enable creating a group from source, when source is a replicated group or consistency group snapshot of a replicated group.

  • IBM DS8000 Driver: Add support for revert-to-snapshot operation.

  • The Huawei FusionStorage Cinder driver (dsware) now supports OceanStor 100D Storage.

  • Zadara VPSA Driver: Added support for cinder features volume manage, snapshot manage, list manageable volumes, manageable snapshots, multiattach and ipv6 support.

  • Starting with API microversion 3.64, an encryption_key_id attribute is included in the response body of volume and backup details when the associated volume is encrypted.

  • Added new backup driver to enable backing up cinder volumes to S3-compatible storage. See the reference S3 backup driver for more information.

  • Added support of authenticity verification through self-signed certificates for JovianDSS data storage. Added support of revert to snapshot functionality. Expands unit-test coverage for JovianDSS driver.

  • New Cinder volume driver for KIOXIA Kumoscale storage systems. The driver storage system supports NVMeOF.

  • NetApp ONTAP driver: added support for FlexGroup pool using the NFS mode. There are several considerations for using the driver with it:

    1. The FlexGroup pool is only supported using ONTAP storage 9.8 or greater.

    2. The FlexGroup pool has a different view of aggregate capabilites, changing them by a list of elements, instead of a single element. They are netapp_aggregate, netapp_raid_type, netapp_disk_type and netapp_hybrid_aggregate. The netapp_aggregate_used_percent capability is an average of used percent of all FlexGroup’s aggregates.

    3. The utilization capability is not calculated to FlexGroup pools, it is always set to default of 50.

    4. The driver cannot support consistency group with volumes that are over FlexGroup pools.

    5. The driver cannot support multi-attach with volumes that are over FlexGroup pools.

    6. For volumes over the FlexGroup pool, the operations of clone volume, create snapshot and create volume from an image are implemented as the NFS generic driver. Hence, it does not rely on the ONTAP storage to perform those operations.

    7. A driver with FlexGroup pools has snapshot support disabled by default. To enable, you must set nfs_snapshot_support to true in the backend’s configuration section of the cinder configuration file.

    8. The driver image cache is not applied for volumes over FlexGroup pools. It can use the core image cache for avoiding downloading twice, though.

    9. Given that the FlexGroup pool may be on several cluster nodes, the QoS minimum support is only enabled if all nodes support it.

  • NetApp ONTAP driver: Added support for Adaptive QoS specs. The driver now accepts expectedIOPSperGiB, peakIOPSperGiB, expectedIOPSAllocation, peakIOPSAllocation, absoluteMinIOPS and blockSize. The field peakIOPSperGiB and the field expectedIOPSperGiB are required together. The expectedIOPSperGiB and absoluteMinIOPS specs are only guaranteed by ONTAP AFF systems. All specs can only be used with ONTAP version equal or greater than 9.4, excepting the expectedIOPSAllocation and blockSize specs which require at least 9.5.

  • NetApp ONTAP driver: Added support for QoS Min (floor) throughput specs. The driver now accepts minIOPS and minIOPSperGiB specs, which can be set either individually or along with Max (ceiling) throughput specs. The feature requires storage ONTAP All Flash FAS (AFF) with version equal or greater than 9.3 for NFS and 9.2 for iSCSI and FCP. It also works with Select Premium with SSD and C190 storages with at least ONTAP 9.6.

  • NetApp ONTAP driver: Added a new driver specific capability called netapp_qos_min_support. It is used to filter the pools that has support to the Qos minimum (floor) specs during the scheduler phase.

  • PowerStore driver: Add Consistency Groups support.

  • PowerStore driver: Add OpenStack replication v2.1 support.

  • New Cinder volume driver for TOYOU ACS5000. The new driver supports iSCSI.

  • Added new Ceph iSCSI driver rbd_iscsi. This new driver is derived from the rbd driver and allows all the same features as the rbd driver. The only difference is that volume attachments are done via iSCSI.

  • The cinder-manage command now includes a new quota category with two possible actions check and sync to help administrators manage out of sync quotas on long running deployments.

  • Dell EMC PowerVault ME Series storage arrays are now supported.

  • Add Peer Persistence support for HPE Primera backend.

  • HPE 3PAR Driver: Add support of iSCSI driver for Primera 4.2 or higher versions.

  • IBM Spectrum Virtualize Family driver: Added fucntionality that returns throttle rate of maximum IOPS and bandwidth of all VDisks of a specified storage pool.

  • Added support for Open-E JovianDSS data storage. Driver supports Open-E disaster recovery feature and cascade volume deletion in addition to support minimum required functions.

  • Introduces microversion (MV) 3.63, which includes volume type ID in the volume details JSON response. This MV affects the volume detail list (GET /v3/{project_id}/volumes/detail), and volume-show (GET /v3/{project_id}/volumes/{volume_id}) calls.

  • Added consistency group support in Nimble Storage driver.

  • Pure Storage FlashArray driver: Enabled support for Active/Active to both the iSCSI and FC driver. This allows users to configure Pure Storage backends in clustered environments.

  • Added support for QoS in the Pure Storage drivers. QoS support is available from Purity//FA 5.3.0

  • Cinder now stores the format of the backing file (raw or qcow2), for FS backends, in the volume admin metadata and includes the format in the connection_info returned in the Attachments API. Previously cinder tried to introspect the format, and under some circumstances, an incorrect format would be deduced. This will still be the case for legacy volumes. Explicitly storing the format will avoid this issue for newly created volumes. See spec for more info.

  • IBM Spectrum Virtualize: Adds support for retype operation on global mirror volumes.

  • IBM Spectrum Virtualize Family: Added support for revert to snapshot for global-mirror volume.

Known Issues

  • Anomalies with encrypted volumes

    For the most part, users are happy with the cinder feature Volume encryption supported by the key manager. There are, however, some edge cases that have revealed bugs that you and your users should be aware of.

    First, some background. The Block Storage API supports the creation of volumes in gibibyte (GiB) units. When a volume of a non-encrypted volume type of size n is created, the volume contains n GiB of usable space. When a volume of an encrypted type is requested, however, the volume contains less than n GiB of usable space because the encryption metadata that must be stored within that volume in order for the volume to be usable consumes an amount of the otherwise usable space.

    Although the encryption metadata consumes less than 1% of the volume, suppose that a user wants to retype a volume of a non-encrypted type to an encrypted type of the same size. If the non-encrypted volume is “full”, we are in the position of trying to fit 101% of its capacity into the encrypted volume, which is not possible under the current laws of physics, and the retype should fail (see Known Issues for volume encryption in the cinder documentation).

    (Note that whether a volume should be considered “full”, even if it doesn’t contain exactly n GiB of data for an n GiB volume, can depend upon the storage backend technology used.)

    A similar situation can arise when a user creates a volume of an encrypted volume type from an image in Glance. If the image happens to be sized very close to the gibibyte boundary given by the requested volume size, the operation may fail if the image data plus the encryption metadata exceeds the requested volume size.

    So far, the behavior isn’t anomalous; it’s basically what you’d expect once you are aware that the encryption metadata must be stored in the volume and that it consumes some space.

    We recently became aware of the following anomalies, however, when using the current RBD driver with a Ceph storage backend.

    • When creating an encrypted volume from an image in Glance that was created from a non-encrypted volume uploaded as an image, or an image that just happens to be sized very close to the gibibyte boundary given by the requested volume size, the space consumed by the encryption header may not leave sufficient space for the data contained in the image. In this case, the data is silently truncated to fit within the requested volume size.

    • Similarly, when creating an encrypted volume from a snapshot of an encrypted volume, if the amount of data in the original volume at the time the snapshot was created is very close to the gibibyte boundary given by the volume’s size, it is possible for the data in the new volume to be silently truncated.

    Not to put too fine a point on it, silent truncation is worse than failure, and the Cinder team will be addressing these issues in the next release. Additionally (as if that isn’t bad enough!), we suspect that the above anomalies will also occur when using volume encryption with NFS-based storage backends, though this has not yet been reported or confirmed.

Upgrade Notes

  • The Zadara VPSA Driver has been updated to support json format and reorganized with new code layout. The module path cinder.volume.drivers.zadara.ZadaraVPSAISCSIDriver should now be updated to cinder.volume.drivers.zadara.zadara.ZadaraVPSAISCSIDriver in cinder.conf.

  • RBD driver: Prior to this release, the Cinder project did not have a statement concerning what versions of Ceph are supported by Cinder. We hereby announce that:

    • For a given OpenStack release, Cinder supports the current Ceph active stable releases plus the two prior releases.

    • For any OpenStack release, it is expected that the versions of the Ceph client and server are in alignment.

    The Ceph RADOS Block Device (RBD) driver documentation has been updated to reflect this policy and explains it in more detail.

  • This release contains a fix for Bug #1908315, which changes the default value of the policy governing the Block Storage API action Reset group snapshot status to make the action administrator-only. This policy was inadvertently changed to be admin-or-owner during the Queens development cycle.

    The policy is named group:reset_group_snapshot_status.

    • If you have a custom value for this policy in your cinder policy configuration file, this change to the default value will not affect you.

    • If you have been aware of this regression and like the current (incorrect) behavior, you may add the following line to your cinder policy configuration file to restore that behavior:

      "group:reset_group_snapshot_status": "rule:admin_or_owner"

      This setting is not recommended by the Cinder project team, as it may allow end users to put a group snapshot into an invalid status with indeterminate consequences.

    For more information about the cinder policy configuration file, see the policy.yaml section of the Cinder Configuration Guide.

  • Ceph/RBD volume backends will now assume exclusive cinder pools, as if they had rbd_exclusive_cinder_pool = true in their configuration.

    This helps deployments with a large number of volumes and prevent issues on deployments with a growing number of volumes at the small cost of a slightly less accurate stats being reported to the scheduler.

  • TSM backup driver is removed. Please, migrate your backups before upgrade.

  • Cinder now requires LVM version 2.02.107 or newer.

  • New configuration options have been added to enable mTLS between cinder and glance: use glance_certfile and glance_keyfile in the [DEFAULT] section of the cinder configuration file.

  • The cinder.quota.NestedDbQuotaDriver quota driver was marked as deprecated in Train release and is eligible for removal since Ussuri release. This release removes the NestedQuotaDriver support.

Deprecation Notes

  • PowerStore driver: powerstore_appliances option is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Driver does not use this option to determine which appliances to use. PowerStore uses its own load balancer instead.

  • Use of JSON formatted policy files was deprecated by the oslo.policy library during the Victoria development cycle. As a result, this deprecation is being noted in the Wallaby cycle with an anticipated future removal of JSON formatted file support by oslo.policy. As such operators will need to convert to YAML policy files. Use the oslopolicy-convert-json-to-yaml tool to convert the existing JSON formatted policy file to YAML in a backward compatible way.

  • Bug #1895510: IBM DS8K: Fixed compatability issue when using the IBM DS8K driver with storage version R9 and later.

  • IBM Spectrum Virtualize Family Bug #1896214: Fixed issues in change_vdisk_iogrp. During retyping a volume between I/O groups, if addvdiskaccess fails an exception is raised and if movevdisk fails rmvdiskaccess should be done for new I/O group before failing the retype operation.

  • IBM Spectrum Virtualize Family Bug #1898746: Fixed issue regarding host-failover and group-failover which impacts storage back-end performance.

  • RBD driver Bug #1898918: Fix thread block caused by the flatten operation during cloning a volume. Now the flatten operation is executed in a different thread.

  • RBD driver bug #1907964: Add support for fast-diff on backup images stored in Ceph. Provided fast-diff is supported by the backend it will automatically be enabled and used. With fast-diff enabled, the generation of diffs between images and snapshots as well as determining the actual data usage of a snapshot is speed up significantly.

  • Bug #1908315: Corrected the default checkstring for the group:reset_group_snapshot_status policy to make it admin-only. This policy governs the Block Storage API action Reset group snapshot status, which by default is supposed to be an adminstrator-only action.

  • Bug #1912451: IBM Spectrum Virtualize Family driver: Updated replication properties for HyperSwap volumes and volumes with replication enabled that were missing from volume metadata.

  • IBM Spectrum Virtualize Family driver Bug #1912564: Fixed HyperSwap volume deletion issue.

  • Bug 1913449: Fix RBD driver _update_volume_stats() failing when using Ceph Pacific python rados libraries. This failed because we were passing a str instead of bytes to cluster.mon_command()

  • Bug #1920237: The backup manager calls volume remove_export() but does not wait for it to complete when detaching a volume after backup. This caused problems when a subsequent operation started on that volume before it had fully detached.

  • PowerStore driver Bug #1920729: Fix iSCSI targets not being returned from the REST API call if targets are used for multiple purposes (iSCSI target, Replication target, etc.).

  • Bug #1870367 : Partially fixed NFS and Quobyte drivers by no longer allowing extending a volume while it is attached, to prevent failures due to Qemu internal locking mechanisms.

  • Hitachi driver bug #1908792: Fix for Hitachi driver allowing delete_volume after create_cloned_volume.

  • LVM driver bug #1901783: Fix unexpected delete volume failure due to unexpected exit code 139 on lvs command call.

  • HPMSA driver: The HPE MSA driver was updated to avoid using deprecated command syntax that has been removed in the latest version of the MSA API. This is required to support the newest firmware in the MSA 2060/1060.

  • Bug #1917797: Fix Cinder’s communication with the Glance API to correctly load mTLS certificates from config (glance_certfile and glance_keyfile in the [DEFAULT] section).

  • PowerMax driver: Fix to prevent an R2 volume being larger than the R1 so that an extend operation will not fail if the R2 happens to be larger than the requested extend size.

  • PowerMax driver: Checking that the contents of the initiator group match the contents of the connector regardless of the initiator_check option being enabled. This will ensure an exception is raised if there is a mismatch, in all scenarios.

  • PowerMax driver: Enhancement to check the status of the ports in the port group so that any potential issue, like the ports being down, is highlighted early and clearly.

  • PowerMax Driver - bug #1908920: This offline r1 promotion fix resets replication enabled and configuration metadata during promotion retype with offline r1 array. It also gets management storage group name from source extra_specs during promotion.

  • PowerMax Driver - Promotion RDF Group number fix uses remote array SID when finding rdf group number when performing retype during failover.

  • Pure Storage driver: Add missing support for host_personality setting for FC-based hosts

  • Pure Storage FlashArray driver fix to ensure cinder_tempest_plugin consistency group tests pass.

  • Bug #1877164: Fix retyping volume with snapshots leaves the snapshots with the old type, making the quotas wrong inmediately for snapshots, and breaking them even more after those snapshots are deleted.

  • Bug #1917450: Fix automatic quota refresh to correctly account for migrating volumes. During volume migration we’ll have 2 volumes in cinder and only one will be accounted for in quota usage.

  • Bug #1919161: Fix automatic quota refresh to correctly account for temporary volumes. During some cinder operations, such as create a backup from a snapshot, temporary volumes are created and are not counted towards quota usage, but the sync mechanism was counting them, thus incorrectly updating volume usage.

  • Bug #1697906: Fix until_refresh configuration changes not taking effect in a timely fashion or at all.

  • Bug #1484343: Fix creation of duplicated quota usage entries in DB.

  • Bug #1898587: Address cloning and api request timeout issues users may hit in certain environments, by allowing configuring timeout values for these operations through cinder configuration file.

  • NetApp SolidFire driver Bug #1896112: Fixes an issue that may duplicate volumes during creation, in case the SolidFire backend successfully processes a request and creates the volume, but fails to deliver the result back to the driver (the response is lost). When this scenario occurs, the SolidFire driver will retry the operation, which previously resulted in the creation of a duplicate volume. This fix adds the sf_volume_create_timeout configuration option (default value: 60 seconds) which specifies an additional length of time that the driver will wait for the volume to become active on the backend before raising an exception.

  • NetApp SolidFire driver Bug #1891914: Fix an error that might occur on cluster workload rebalancing or system upgrade, when an operation is made to a volume at the same time its connection is being moved to a secondary node.

Other Notes

  • Supported Ceph versions

    The Cinder project wishes to clarify its policy concerning what versions of Ceph are supported by Cinder.

    • For a given OpenStack release, Cinder supports the current Ceph active stable releases plus the two prior releases.

    • For any OpenStack release, it is expected that the versions of the Ceph client and server are in alignment.

    The Ceph RADOS Block Device (RBD) driver documentation has been updated to reflect this policy and explains it in more detail.

  • This note applies to deployments that are using the cinder configuration option volume_copy_bps_limit in its non-default value (the default is 0).

    The cinder-volume service currently depends on Linux Kernel Control Groups (cgroups) version 1 to control i/o throttling during some volume-copy and image-convert operations. At the time of this release, some Linux distributions may have changed to using cgroups v2 by default. Thus, you may need to take explicit steps to ensure that cgroups v1 is enabled on any OpenStack nodes running the cinder-volume service. This may entail setting specific Linux kernel parameters for these nodes. Consult your Linux distribution’s documentation for details.

    For more information:

    • The cinder options associated with throttling are volume_copy_blkio_cgroup_name and volume_copy_bps_limit. They are described in the sample cinder configuration file for the Wallaby release.

    • For an example of distribution-specific information about cgroups, see OpenStack and cgroups v1 in the Debian 11 (“bullseye”) release notes.
