The Cinder program of OpenStack provides block storage to virtual machines. In this recipe, we will configure OpenStack Cinder to use Ceph as a storage backend. OpenStack Cinder requires a driver to interact with the Ceph block device. On the OpenStack node, edit the /etc/cinder/cinder.conf configuration file by adding the code snippet given in the following section.
In the last recipe, we learned to configure glance to use Ceph. In this recipe, we will learn to use the Ceph RBD with the Cinder service of OpenStack:
- Since in this demonstration we are not using multiple backend cinder configurations, comment the
enabled_backendsoption from the/etc/cinder/cinder.conffile: - Navigate to the Options defined in cinder.volume.drivers.rbd section of the
/etc/cinder/cinder.conffile and add the following (replace the secretuuidwith your environments value):volume_driver = cinder.volume.drivers.rbd.RBDDriver rbd_pool = volumes rbd_user = cinder rbd_secret_uuid = bb90381e-a4c5-4db7-b410-3154c4af486e rbd_ceph_conf = /etc/ceph/ceph.conf rbd_flatten_volume_from_snapshot = false rbd_max_clone_depth = 5 rbd_store_chunk_size = 4 rados_connect_timeout = -1 glance_api_version = 2
- Execute the following command to verify the previous entries:
# cat /etc/cinder/cinder.conf | egrep "rbd|rados|version" | grep -v "#"
- Restart the OpenStack cinder services:
# service openstack-cinder-volume restart - Source the
keystone_adminfiles for OpenStack:# source /root/keystonerc_admin # cinder list
- To test this configuration, create your first cinder volume of 2 GB, which should now be created on your Ceph cluster:
# cinder create --display-name ceph-volume01 --display-description "Cinder volume on CEPH storage" 2 - Check the volume by listing the cinder and Ceph volumes pool:
# cinder list # rados -p volumes --name client.cinder --keyring ceph.client.cinder.keyring ls | grep -i id
- Similarly, try creating another volume using the OpenStack Horizon dashboard.
