Hello everyone,
I'm new to Fuel and OpenStack so please forgive if my questions sound
stupid.
I'm trying to use Infiniband adapters for my CEPH storage network in
OpenStack cluster. I already have experience with CEPH and CLoudStack where
I use Infiniband for RBD access.
When I first installed OpenStack manually using official guides for Ubuntu
12.04 I succeeded with connecting to CEPH cluster over Infiniband without
any special issues or workarounds. It just worked "out of the box" with
Cinder and Glance.
But now I try to create my cluster with Fuel for simplified deployment,
preconfigured HA and better integration of things. Unfortunately Fuel does
not offer me to use Infiniband for nodes as network adapters.
Is there any workaround for this? I suppose that I have to use Fuel's CLI
instead of GUI for deployment and patch some Puppet templates to configure
preloading of Infiniband modules on nodes. But I don't have a glue how it
should be integrated with OVS and overall networking configuration. I
configure my cluster with Neutron and GRE and I know that this should work
flawlessly.
Can anyone please provide some help with this setup? I think it should be
quite a common question as Infiniband is very popular for clouds now.
P.S. My IB cards are not Connect-X3 so plugins from Mellanox are useless
for me.
Best Regards,
Dmitry
