Fwd: NFS for nova-volume

 

Hi Salman,

you can checkout the directory in our stable/diablo branch in our repos in
GitHub:

https://github.com/StackOps/nova/commits/stable/diablo

You need to configure it as follows:

- NovaVolume nodes must have access to qemu-img executable. Otherwise it
won't be able to create the nodes.
- Share a filesystem for the volumes, for example /var/lib/nova/volumes
- in the configuration file of NovaVolume, you need to enter this flags:
flags.DEFINE_string('volumes_path', '/var/lib/nova/volumes', 'shared
directory for the volumes virtual disks')
flags.DEFINE_string('volumes_path_testfile', '%s/testfile' %
FLAGS.volumes_path, 'Test file to check if qemu-img works')
flags.DEFINE_string('volume_driver', 'nova.volume.nas.QEMUDriver', 'QEMU
Volumes driver')

We have an experimental release in our 0.4 version of the StackOps Distro
and in our Enterprise Distro, hopefully to release in the coming weeks.
Cheers
Diego
