enforce_token_bind = permissive (StrOpt) Used to control the use and type of token binding. Can be set to: "disabled" to not check token binding. "permissive" (default) to validate binding information if the bind type is of a form known to the server and ignore it if not.

Larger values will result in more even distribution of load and less load when rebalancing the ring, but more memory usage. Number of partitions per conductor is (2^hash_partition_exponent). This determines the granularity of rebalancing: given 10 hosts, and an exponent of the 2, there are 40 partitions in the ring.A few thousand partitions should make rebalancing smooth in most cases. The default is suitable for up to a few hundred conductors. Too many partitions has a CPU impact.

This is done after instance deletion, and during the transition from a "managed" to "available" state. When enabled, the particular steps performed to clean a node depend on which driver that node is managed by; see the individual driver's documentation for details.

Chapter 2. Block Storage

The OpenStack Block Storage service works with many different storage drivers that you can configure by using these instructions.

2.1. Introduction to the Block Storage service

The OpenStack Block Storage service provides persistent block storage resources that OpenStack Compute instances can consume. This includes secondary attached storage similar to the Amazon Elastic Block Storage (EBS) offering. In addition, you can write images to a Block Storage device for Compute to use as a bootable persistent instance.
The Block Storage service differs slightly from the Amazon EBS offering. The Block Storage service does not provide a shared storage solution like NFS. With the Block Storage service, you can attach a device to only one instance.
The Block Storage service provides:
  • cinder-api. A WSGI app that authenticates and routes requests throughout the Block Storage service. It supports the OpenStack APIs only, although there is a translation that can be done through Compute's EC2 interface, which calls in to the Block Storage client.
  • cinder-scheduler. Schedules and routes requests to the appropriate volume service. Depending upon your configuration, this may be simple round-robin scheduling to the running volume services, or it can be more sophisticated through the use of the Filter Scheduler. The Filter Scheduler is the default and enables filters on things like Capacity, Availability Zone, Volume Types, and Capabilities as well as custom filters.
  • cinder-volume. Manages Block Storage devices, specifically the back-end devices themselves.
  • cinder-backup. Provides a means to back up a Block Storage volume to OpenStack Object Storage (swift).
The Block Storage service contains the following components:
  • Back-end Storage Devices. The Block Storage service requires some form of back-end storage that the service is built on. The default implementation is to use LVM on a local volume group named "cinder-volumes." In addition to the base driver implementation, the Block Storage service also provides the means to add support for other storage devices to be utilized such as external Raid Arrays or other storage appliances. These back-end storage devices may have custom block sizes when using KVM or QEMU as the hypervisor.
  • Users and Tenants (Projects). The Block Storage service can be used by many different cloud computing consumers or customers (tenants on a shared system), using role-based access assignments. Roles control the actions that a user is allowed to perform. In the default configuration, most actions do not require a particular role, but this can be configured by the system administrator in the appropriate policy.json file that maintains the rules. A user's access to particular volumes is limited by tenant, but the user name and password are assigned per user. Key pairs granting access to a volume are enabled per user, but quotas to control resource consumption across available hardware resources are per tenant.
    For tenants, quota controls are available to limit:
    • The number of volumes that can be created.
    • The number of snapshots that can be created.
    • The total number of GBs allowed per tenant (shared between snapshots and volumes).
    You can revise the default quota values with the Block Storage CLI, so the limits placed by quotas are editable by admin users.
  • Volumes, Snapshots, and Backups. The basic resources offered by the Block Storage service are volumes and snapshots which are derived from volumes and volume backups:
    • Volumes. Allocated block storage resources that can be attached to instances as secondary storage or they can be used as the root store to boot instances. Volumes are persistent R/W block storage devices most commonly attached to the compute node through iSCSI.
    • Snapshots. A read-only point in time copy of a volume. The snapshot can be created from a volume that is currently in use (through the use of --force True) or in an available state. The snapshot can then be used to create a new volume through create from snapshot.
    • Backups. An archived copy of a volume currently stored in OpenStack Object Storage (swift).

2.2. Volume drivers

To use different volume drivers for the cinder-volume service, use the parameters described in these sections.
To set a volume driver, use the volume_driver flag. The default is:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
volume_driver = cinder.volume.drivers.lvm.LVMISCSIDriver

2.2.1. Ceph RADOS Block Device (RBD)

If you use KVM or QEMU as your hypervisor, you can configure the Compute service to use Ceph RADOS block devices (RBD) for volumes.
Ceph is a massively scalable, open source, distributed storage system. It is comprised of an object store, block store, and a POSIX-compliant distributed file system. The platform can auto-scale to the exabyte level and beyond. It runs on commodity hardware, is self-healing and self-managing, and has no single point of failure. Ceph is in the Linux kernel and is integrated with the OpenStack cloud operating system. Due to its open-source nature, you can install and use this portable storage platform in public or private clouds.

Figure 2.1. Ceph architecture

Ceph architecture
RADOS
Ceph is based on RADOS: Reliable Autonomic Distributed Object Store. RADOS distributes objects across the storage cluster and replicates objects for fault tolerance. RADOS contains the following major components:
  • Object Storage Device (OSD) Daemon. The storage daemon for the RADOS service, which interacts with the OSD (physical or logical storage unit for your data).
    You must run this daemon on each server in your cluster. For each OSD, you can have an associated hard drive disk. For performance purposes, pool your hard drive disk with raid arrays, logical volume management (LVM), or B-tree file system (Btrfs) pooling. By default, the following pools are created: data, metadata, and RBD.
  • Meta-Data Server (MDS). Stores metadata. MDSs build a POSIX file system on top of objects for Ceph clients. However, if you do not use the Ceph file system, you do not need a metadata server.
  • Monitor (MON). A lightweight daemon that handles all communications with external applications and clients. It also provides a consensus for distributed decision making in a Ceph/RADOS cluster. For instance, when you mount a Ceph shared on a client, you point to the address of a MON server. It checks the state and the consistency of the data. In an ideal setup, you must run at least three ceph-mon daemons on separate servers.
Ceph developers recommend that you use Btrfs as a file system for storage. XFS might be a better alternative for production environments;XFS is an excellent alternative to Btrfs. The ext4 file system is also compatible but does not exploit the power of Ceph.
Note
If using Btrfs, ensure that you use the correct version (see Ceph Dependencies).
For more information about usable file systems, see ceph.com/ceph-storage/file-system/.
Ways to store, use, and expose data
To store and access your data, you can use the following storage systems:
  • RADOS. Use as an object, default storage mechanism.
  • RBD. Use as a block device. The Linux kernel RBD (RADOS block device) driver allows striping a Linux block device over multiple distributed object store data objects. It is compatible with the KVM RBD image.
  • CephFS. Use as a file, POSIX-compliant file system.
Ceph exposes RADOS; you can access it through the following interfaces:
  • RADOS Gateway. OpenStack Object Storage and Amazon-S3 compatible RESTful interface (see RADOS_Gateway).
  • librados, and its related C/C++ bindings.
  • RBD and QEMU-RBD. Linux kernel and QEMU block devices that stripe data across multiple objects.
Driver options
The following table contains the configuration options supported by the Ceph RADOS Block Device driver.

2.2.2. Dell EqualLogic volume driver

The Dell EqualLogic volume driver interacts with configured EqualLogic arrays and supports various operations.

Supported operations

  • Create, delete, attach, and detach volumes.
  • Create, list, and delete volume snapshots.
  • Clone a volume.
The OpenStack Block Storage service supports:
  • Multiple instances of Dell EqualLogic Groups or Dell EqualLogic Group Storage Pools and multiple pools on a single array.
  • Multiple instances of Dell EqualLogic Groups or Dell EqualLogic Group Storage Pools or multiple pools on a single array.
The Dell EqualLogic volume driver's ability to access the EqualLogic Group is dependent upon the generic block storage driver's SSH settings in the /etc/cinder/cinder.conf file (see Section 2.4, “Block Storage sample configuration files” for reference).
Table 2.2. Description of Dell EqualLogic volume driver configuration options
Configuration option = Default value Description

The following sample /etc/cinder/cinder.conf configuration lists the relevant settings for a typical Block Storage service using a single Dell EqualLogic Group:

Example 2.1. Default (single-instance) configuration

Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
[DEFAULT]
#Required settings

volume_driver = cinder.volume.drivers.eqlx.DellEQLSanISCSIDriver
san_ip = IP_EQLX
san_login = SAN_UNAME
san_password = SAN_PW
eqlx_group_name = EQLX_GROUP
eqlx_pool = EQLX_POOL

#Optional settings

san_thin_provision = true|false
eqlx_use_chap = true|false
eqlx_chap_login = EQLX_UNAME
eqlx_chap_password = EQLX_PW
eqlx_cli_timeout = 30
eqlx_cli_max_retries = 5
san_ssh_port = 22
ssh_conn_timeout = 30
san_private_key = SAN_KEY_PATH
ssh_min_pool_conn = 1
ssh_max_pool_conn = 5
In this example, replace the following variables accordingly:
IP_EQLX
The IP address used to reach the Dell EqualLogic Group through SSH. This field has no default value.
SAN_UNAME
The user name to login to the Group manager via SSH at the san_ip. Default user name is grpadmin.
SAN_PW
The corresponding password of SAN_UNAME. Not used when san_private_key is set. Default password is password.
EQLX_GROUP
The group to be used for a pool where the Block Storage service will create volumes and snapshots. Default group is group-0.
EQLX_POOL
The pool where the Block Storage service will create volumes and snapshots. Default pool is default. This option cannot be used for multiple pools utilized by the Block Storage service on a single Dell EqualLogic Group.
EQLX_UNAME
The CHAP login account for each volume in a pool, if eqlx_use_chap is set to true. Default account name is chapadmin.
EQLX_PW
The corresponding password of EQLX_UNAME. The default password is randomly generated in hexadecimal, so you must set this password manually.
SAN_KEY_PATH (optional)
The filename of the private key used for SSH authentication. This provides password-less login to the EqualLogic Group. Not used when san_password is set. There is no default value.
In addition, enable thin provisioning for SAN volumes using the default san_thin_provision = true setting.

Example 2.2. Multi back-end Dell EqualLogic configuration

The following example shows the typical configuration for a Block Storage service that uses two Dell EqualLogic back ends:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
enabled_backends = backend1,backend2
san_ssh_port = 22
​ssh_conn_timeout = 30
​san_thin_provision = true
      ​
​[backend1]
​volume_driver = cinder.volume.drivers.eqlx.DellEQLSanISCSIDriver
​volume_backend_name = backend1
​san_ip = IP_EQLX1
​san_login = SAN_UNAME
san_password = SAN_PW
​eqlx_group_name = EQLX_GROUP
​eqlx_pool = EQLX_POOL
      ​
​[backend2]
​volume_driver = cinder.volume.drivers.eqlx.DellEQLSanISCSIDriver
​volume_backend_name = backend2
​san_ip = IP_EQLX2
san_login = SAN_UNAME
san_password = SAN_PW
​eqlx_group_name = EQLX_GROUP
​eqlx_pool = EQLX_POOL
In this example:
  • Thin provisioning for SAN volumes is enabled (san_thin_provision = true). This is recommended when setting up Dell EqualLogic back ends.
  • Each Dell EqualLogic back-end configuration ([backend1] and [backend2]) has the same required settings as a single back-end configuration, with the addition of volume_backend_name.
  • The san_ssh_port option is set to its default value, 22. This option sets the port used for SSH.
  • The ssh_conn_timeout option is also set to its default value, 30. This option sets the timeout in seconds for CLI commands over SSH.
  • The IP_EQLX1 and IP_EQLX2 refer to the IP addresses used to reach the Dell EqualLogic Group of backend1 and backend2 through SSH, respectively.

2.2.3. Dell Storage Center iSCSI drivers

The Dell Storage Center volume driver interacts with configured Storage Center arrays.
The Dell Storage Center driver manages Storage Center arrays through Enterprise Manager. Enterprise Manager connection settings and Storage Center options are defined in the cinder.conf file.
Prerequisite: Dell Enterprise Manager 2015 R1 or later must be used.
Supported operations
The Dell Storage Center volume driver provides the following Cinder volume operations:
  • Create, delete, attach (map), and detach (unmap) volumes.
  • Create, list, and delete volume snapshots.
  • Create a volume from a snapshot.
  • Copy an image to a volume.
  • Copy a volume to an image.
  • Clone a volume.
  • Extend a volume.
Extra spec options
Volume type extra specs can be used to select different Storage Profiles.
Storage Profiles control how Storage Center manages volume data. For a given volume, the selected Storage Profile dictates which disk tier accepts initial writes, as well as how data progression moves data between tiers to balance performance and cost. Predefined Storage Profiles are the most effective way to manage data in Storage Center.
By default, if no Storage Profile is specified in the volume extra specs, the default Storage Profile for the user account configured for the Block Storage driver is used. The extra spec key storagetype:storageprofile with the value of the name of the Storage Profile on the Storage Center can be set to allow to use Storage Profiles other than the default.
For ease of use from the command line, spaces in Storage Profile names are ignored. As an example, here is how to define two volume types using the High Priority and Low Priority Storage Profiles:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
$ cinder type-create "GoldVolumeType"
$ cinder type-key "GoldVolumeType" set storagetype:storageprofile=highpriority
$ cinder type-create "BronzeVolumeType"
$ cinder type-key "BronzeVolumeType" set storagetype:storageprofile=lowpriority
Driver options
The following table contains the configuration options specific to the Dell Storage Center volume driver.

2.2.4. EMC VMAX iSCSI and FC drivers

The EMC VMAX drivers, EMCVMAXISCSIDriver and EMCVMAXFCDriver, support the use of EMC VMAX storage arrays under OpenStack Block Storage. They both provide equivalent functions and differ only in support for their respective host attachment methods.
The drivers perform volume operations by communicating with the backend VMAX storage. It uses a CIM client in Python called PyWBEM to perform CIM operations over HTTP.
The EMC CIM Object Manager (ECOM) is packaged with the EMC SMI-S provider. It is a CIM server that enables CIM clients to perform CIM operations over HTTP by using SMI-S in the back-end for VMAX storage operations.
The EMC SMI-S Provider supports the SNIA Storage Management Initiative (SMI), an ANSI standard for storage management. It supports the VMAX storage system.
2.2.4.1. System requirements
EMC SMI-S Provider V4.6.2.8 and higher is required. You can download SMI-S from the EMC's support web site (login is required). See the EMC SMI-S Provider release notes for installation instructions.
EMC storage VMAX Family is supported.
2.2.4.2. Supported operations
VMAX drivers support these operations:
  • Create, delete, attach, and detach volumes.
  • Create, list, and delete volume snapshots.
  • Copy an image to a volume.
  • Copy a volume to an image.
  • Clone a volume.
  • Extend a volume.
  • Retype a volume.
  • Create a volume from a snapshot.
VMAX drivers also support the following features:
  • FAST automated storage tiering policy.
  • Dynamic masking view creation.
  • Striped volume creation.
2.2.4.3. Set up the VMAX drivers

Procedure 2.1. To set up the EMC VMAX drivers

You can install SMI-S on a non-OpenStack host. Supported platforms include different flavors of Windows, Red Hat, and SUSE Linux. SMI-S can be installed on a physical server or a VM hosted by an ESX server. Note that the supported hypervisor for a VM running SMI-S is ESX only. See the EMC SMI-S Provider release notes for more information on supported platforms and installation instructions.
Note
You must discover storage arrays on the SMI-S server before you can use the VMAX drivers. Follow instructions in the SMI-S release notes.
SMI-S is usually installed at /opt/emc/ECIM/ECOM/bin on Linux and C:\Program Files\EMC\ECIM\ECOM\bin on Windows. After you install and configure SMI-S, go to that directory and type TestSmiProvider.exe.
Use addsys in TestSmiProvider.exe to add an array. Use dv and examine the output after the array is added. Make sure that the arrays are recognized by the SMI-S server before using the EMC VMAX drivers.
2.2.4.3.3. cinder.conf configuration file
Make the following changes in /etc/cinder/cinder.conf.
Add the following entries, where 10.10.61.45 is the IP address of the VMAX iSCSI target:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
enabled_backends = CONF_GROUP_ISCSI, CONF_GROUP_FC
[CONF_GROUP_ISCSI]
iscsi_ip_address = 10.10.61.45
volume_driver = cinder.volume.drivers.emc.emc_vmax_iscsi.EMCVMAXISCSIDriver
cinder_emc_config_file = /etc/cinder/cinder_emc_config_CONF_GROUP_ISCSI.xml
volume_backend_name=ISCSI_backend
[CONF_GROUP_FC]
volume_driver = cinder.volume.drivers.emc.emc_vmax_fc.EMCVMAXFCDriver
cinder_emc_config_file = /etc/cinder/cinder_emc_config_CONF_GROUP_FC.xml
volume_backend_name=FC_backend
In this example, two backend configuration groups are enabled: CONF_GROUP_ISCSI and CONF_GROUP_FC. Each configuration group has a section describing unique parameters for connections, drivers, the volume_backend_name, and the name of the EMC-specific configuration file containing additional settings. Note that the file name is in the format /etc/cinder/cinder_emc_config_[confGroup].xml.
Once the cinder.conf and EMC-specific configuration files have been created, cinder commands need to be issued in order to create and associate OpenStack volume types with the declared volume_backend_names:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
$ cinder type-create VMAX_ISCSI
$ cinder type-key VMAX_ISCSI set volume_backend_name=ISCSI_backend
$ cinder type-create VMAX_FC
$ cinder type-key VMAX_FC set volume_backend_name=FC_backend
By issuing these commands, the Block Storage volume type VMAX_ISCSI is associated with the ISCSI_backend, and the type VMAX_FC is associated with the FC_backend.
Restart the cinder-volume service.
2.2.4.3.4. cinder_emc_config_CONF_GROUP_ISCSI.xml configuration file
Create the /etc/cinder/cinder_emc_config_CONF_GROUP_ISCSI.xml file. You do not need to restart the service for this change.
Add the following lines to the XML file:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<EMC>
    <EcomServerIp>1.1.1.1</EcomServerIp>
    <EcomServerPort>00</EcomServerPort>
    <EcomUserName>user1</EcomUserName>
    <EcomPassword>password1</EcomPassword>
    <PortGroups>
      <PortGroup>OS-PORTGROUP1-PG</PortGroup>
      <PortGroup>OS-PORTGROUP2-PG</PortGroup>
    </PortGroups>
   <Array>111111111111</Array>
   <Pool>FC_GOLD1</Pool>
   <FastPolicy>GOLD1</FastPolicy>
</EMC>
Where:
  • EcomServerIp and EcomServerPort are the IP address and port number of the ECOM server which is packaged with SMI-S.
  • EcomUserName and EcomPassword are credentials for the ECOM server.
  • PortGroups supplies the names of VMAX port groups that have been pre-configured to expose volumes managed by this backend. Each supplied port group should have sufficient number and distribution of ports (across directors and switches) as to ensure adequate bandwidth and failure protection for the volume connections. PortGroups can contain one or more port groups of either iSCSI or FC ports. When a dynamic masking view is created by the VMAX driver, the port group is chosen randomly from the PortGroup list, to evenly distribute load across the set of groups provided. Make sure that the PortGroups set contains either all FC or all iSCSI port groups (for a given backend), as appropriate for the configured driver (iSCSI or FC).
  • The Array tag holds the unique VMAX array serial number.
  • The Pool tag holds the unique pool name within a given array. For backends not using FAST automated tiering, the pool is a single pool that has been created by the administrator. For backends exposing FAST policy automated tiering, the pool is the bind pool to be used with the FAST policy.
  • The FastPolicy tag conveys the name of the FAST Policy to be used. By including this tag, volumes managed by this backend are treated as under FAST control. Omitting the FastPolicy tag means FAST is not enabled on the provided storage pool.
2.2.4.3.5. FC Zoning with VMAX
Zone Manager is recommended when using the VMAX FC driver, especially for larger configurations where pre-zoning would be too complex and open-zoning would raise security concerns.
2.2.4.3.6. iSCSI with VMAX
  • Make sure the iscsi-initiator-utils package is installed on the host (use apt-get, zypper, or yum, depending on Linux flavor).
  • Verify host is able to ping VMAX iSCSI target ports.
2.2.4.4. VMAX masking view and group naming info
Masking view names
Masking views are dynamically created by the VMAX FC and iSCSI drivers using the following naming conventions:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
OS-[shortHostName][poolName]-I-MV (for Masking Views using iSCSI)
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
OS-[shortHostName][poolName]-F-MV (for Masking Views using FC)
Initiator group names
For each host that is attached to VMAX volumes using the drivers, an initiator group is created or re-used (per attachment type). All initiators of the appropriate type known for that host are included in the group. At each new attach volume operation, the VMAX driver retrieves the initiators (either WWNNs or IQNs) from OpenStack and adds or updates the contents of the Initiator Group as required. Names are of the following format:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
OS-[shortHostName]-I-IG (for iSCSI initiators)
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
OS-[shortHostName]-F-IG (for Fibre Channel initiators)
Note
Hosts attaching to VMAX storage managed by the OpenStack environment cannot also be attached to storage on the same VMAX not being managed by OpenStack. This is due to limitations on VMAX Initiator Group membership.
FA port groups
VMAX array FA ports to be used in a new masking view are chosen from the list provided in the EMC configuration file.
Storage group names
As volumes are attached to a host, they are either added to an existing storage group (if it exists) or a new storage group is created and the volume is then added. Storage groups contain volumes created from a pool (either single-pool or FAST-controlled), attached to a single host, over a single connection type (iSCSI or FC). Names are formed:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
OS-[shortHostName][poolName]-I-SG (attached over iSCSI)
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
OS-[shortHostName][poolName]-F-SG (attached over Fibre Channel)
2.2.4.5. Concatenated or striped volumes
In order to support later expansion of created volumes, the VMAX Block Storage drivers create concatenated volumes as the default layout. If later expansion is not required, users can opt to create striped volumes in order to optimize I/O performance.
Below is an example of how to create striped volumes. First, create a volume type. Then define the extra spec for the volume type storagetype:stripecount representing the number of meta members in the striped volume. The example below means that each volume created under the GoldStriped volume type will be striped and made up of 4 meta members.
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
$ cinder type-create GoldStriped
$ cinder type-key GoldStriped set volume_backend_name=GOLD_BACKEND
$ cinder type-key GoldStriped set storagetype:stripecount=4

2.2.5. EMC VNX direct driver

EMC VNX direct driver (consists of EMCCLIISCSIDriver and EMCCLIFCDriver) supports both iSCSI and FC protocol. EMCCLIISCSIDriver (VNX iSCSI direct driver) and EMCCLIFCDriver (VNX FC direct driver) are separately based on the ISCSIDriver and FCDriver defined in Block Storage.
EMCCLIISCSIDriver and EMCCLIFCDriver perform the volume operations by executing Navisphere CLI (NaviSecCLI) which is a command line interface used for management, diagnostics and reporting functions for VNX.
2.2.5.1. Supported OpenStack release
EMC VNX direct driver supports the Kilo release.
2.2.5.2. System requirements
  • VNX Operational Environment for Block version 5.32 or higher.
  • VNX Snapshot and Thin Provisioning license should be activated for VNX.
  • Navisphere CLI v7.32 or higher is installed along with the driver.
2.2.5.3. Supported operations
  • Create, delete, attach, and detach volumes.
  • Create, list, and delete volume snapshots.
  • Create a volume from a snapshot.
  • Copy an image to a volume.
  • Clone a volume.
  • Extend a volume.
  • Migrate a volume.
  • Retype a volume.
  • Get volume statistics.
  • Create and delete consistency groups.
  • Create, list, and delete consistency group snapshots.
  • Modify consistency groups.
2.2.5.4. Preparation
This section contains instructions to prepare the Block Storage nodes to use the EMC VNX direct driver. You install the Navisphere CLI, install the driver, ensure you have correct zoning configurations, and register the driver.
2.2.5.4.1. Install NaviSecCLI
Navisphere CLI needs to be installed on all Block Storage nodes within an OpenStack deployment.
  • For all other variants of Linux, Navisphere CLI is available at Downloads for VNX2 Series or Downloads for VNX1 Series.
  • After installation, set the security level of Navisphere CLI to low:
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    $ /opt/Navisphere/bin/naviseccli security -certificate -setLevel low
2.2.5.4.2. Install Block Storage driver
Both EMCCLIISCSIDriver and EMCCLIFCDriver are provided in the installer package:
  • emc_vnx_cli.py
  • emc_cli_fc.py (for EMCCLIFCDriver)
  • emc_cli_iscsi.py (for EMCCLIISCSIDriver)
Copy the files above to the cinder/volume/drivers/emc/ directory of the OpenStack node(s) where cinder-volume is running.
2.2.5.4.3. FC zoning with VNX (EMCCLIFCDriver only)
A storage administrator must enable FC SAN auto zoning between all OpenStack nodes and VNX if FC SAN auto zoning is not enabled.
2.2.5.4.4. Register with VNX
Register the compute nodes with VNX to access the storage in VNX or enable initiator auto registration.
To perform "Copy Image to Volume" and "Copy Volume to Image" operations, the nodes running the cinder-volume service(Block Storage nodes) must be registered with the VNX as well.
Steps mentioned below are for a compute node. Please follow the same steps for the Block Storage nodes also. The steps can be skipped if initiator auto registration is enabled.
Note
When the driver notices that there is no existing storage group that has the host name as the storage group name, it will create the storage group and then add the compute nodes' or Block Storage nodes' registered initiators into the storage group.
If the driver notices that the storage group already exists, it will assume that the registered initiators have also been put into it and skip the operations above for better performance.
It is recommended that the storage administrator does not create the storage group manually and instead relies on the driver for the preparation. If the storage administrator needs to create the storage group manually for some special requirements, the correct registered initiators should be put into the storage group as well (otherwise the following volume attaching operations will fail).
2.2.5.4.4.1. EMCCLIFCDriver
Steps for EMCCLIFCDriver:
  1. Assume 20:00:00:24:FF:48:BA:C2:21:00:00:24:FF:48:BA:C2 is the WWN of a FC initiator port name of the compute node whose hostname and IP are myhost1 and 10.10.61.1. Register 20:00:00:24:FF:48:BA:C2:21:00:00:24:FF:48:BA:C2 in Unisphere:
    1. Login to Unisphere, go to FNM0000000000->Hosts->Initiators.
    2. Refresh and wait until the initiator 20:00:00:24:FF:48:BA:C2:21:00:00:24:FF:48:BA:C2 with SP Port A-1 appears.

      • Hostname : myhost1
      • IP : 10.10.61.1
      • Click Register
    4. Then host 10.10.61.1 will appear under Hosts->Host List as well.
  2. Register the wwn with more ports if needed.
2.2.5.4.4.2. EMCCLIISCSIDriver
Steps for EMCCLIISCSIDriver:
  1. On the compute node with IP address 10.10.61.1 and hostname myhost1, execute the following commands (assuming 10.10.61.35 is the iSCSI target):
    1. Start the iSCSI initiator service on the node
      Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
      # /etc/init.d/open-iscsi start
    2. Discover the iSCSI target portals on VNX
      Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
      # iscsiadm -m discovery -t st -p 10.10.61.35
    3. Enter /etc/iscsi
      Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
      # cd /etc/iscsi
    4. Find out the iqn of the node
      Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
      # more initiatorname.iscsi
  2. Login to VNX from the compute node using the target corresponding to the SPA port:

  3. Assume iqn.1993-08.org.debian:01:1a2b3c4d5f6g is the initiator name of the compute node. Register iqn.1993-08.org.debian:01:1a2b3c4d5f6g in Unisphere:
    1. Login to Unisphere, go to FNM0000000000->Hosts->Initiators .
    2. Refresh and wait until the initiator iqn.1993-08.org.debian:01:1a2b3c4d5f6g with SP Port A-8v0 appears.
    3. Click the Register button, select CLARiiON/VNX and enter the hostname (which is the output of the linux command hostname) and IP address:
      • Hostname : myhost1
      • IP : 10.10.61.1
      • Click Register
    4. Then host 10.10.61.1 will appear under Hosts->Host List as well.
  4. Logout iSCSI on the node:
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    # iscsiadm -m node -u
  5. Login to VNX from the compute node using the target corresponding to the SPB port:

    # iscsiadm -m node -T iqn.1992-04.com.emc:cx.apm01234567890.b8 -p 10.10.61.36 -l
  6. In Unisphere register the initiator with the SPB port.
  7. Logout iSCSI on the node:
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    # iscsiadm -m node -u
  8. Register the iqn with more ports if needed.
2.2.5.5. Backend configuration
Make the following changes in the /etc/cinder/cinder.conf:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
storage_vnx_pool_name = Pool_01_SAS
san_ip = 10.10.72.41
san_secondary_ip = 10.10.72.42
#VNX user name
#san_login = username
#VNX user password
#san_password = password
#VNX user type. Valid values are: global(default), local and ldap.
#storage_vnx_authentication_type = ldap
#Directory path of the VNX security file. Make sure the security file is generated first.
#VNX credentials are not necessary when using security file.
storage_vnx_security_file_dir = /etc/secfile/array1
naviseccli_path = /opt/Navisphere/bin/naviseccli
#timeout in minutes
default_timeout = 10
#If deploying EMCCLIISCSIDriver:
#volume_driver = cinder.volume.drivers.emc.emc_cli_iscsi.EMCCLIISCSIDriver
volume_driver = cinder.volume.drivers.emc.emc_cli_fc.EMCCLIFCDriver
destroy_empty_storage_group = False
#"node1hostname" and "node2hostname" shoule be the full hostnames of the nodes(Try command 'hostname').
#This option is for EMCCLIISCSIDriver only.
iscsi_initiators = {"node1hostname":["10.0.0.1", "10.0.0.2"],"node2hostname":["10.0.0.3"]}

[database]
max_pool_size = 20
max_overflow = 30
  • where san_ip is one of the SP IP addresses of the VNX array and san_secondary_ip is the other SP IP address of VNX array. san_secondary_ip is an optional field, and it serves the purpose of providing a high availability(HA) design. In case that one SP is down, the other SP can be connected automatically. san_ip is a mandatory field, which provides the main connection.
  • where Pool_01_SAS is the pool from which the user wants to create volumes. The pools can be created using Unisphere for VNX. Refer to the Section 2.2.5.18, “Multiple pools support” on how to manage multiple pools.
  • where storage_vnx_security_file_dir is the directory path of the VNX security file. Make sure the security file is generated following the steps in Section 2.2.5.6, “Authentication”.
  • where iscsi_initiators is a dictionary of IP addresses of the iSCSI initiator ports on all OpenStack nodes which want to connect to VNX via iSCSI. If this option is configured, the driver will leverage this information to find an accessible iSCSI target portal for the initiator when attaching volume. Otherwise, the iSCSI target portal will be chosen in a relative random way.
  • Restart cinder-volume service to make the configuration change take effect.
2.2.5.6. Authentication
VNX credentials are necessary when the driver connects to the VNX system. Credentials in global, local and ldap scopes are supported. There are two approaches to provide the credentials.
The recommended one is using the Navisphere CLI security file to provide the credentials which can get rid of providing the plain text credentials in the configuration file. Following is the instruction on how to do this.
  1. Find out the linux user id of the /usr/bin/cinder-volume processes. Assuming the service /usr/bin/cinder-volume is running by account cinder.
  2. Switch to root account
  3. Change cinder:x:113:120::/var/lib/cinder:/bin/false to cinder:x:113:120::/var/lib/cinder:/bin/bash in /etc/passwd (This temporary change is to make step 4 work).
  4. Save the credentials on behalf of cinder user to a security file (assuming the array credentials are admin/admin in global scope). In below command, switch -secfilepath is used to specify the location to save the security file (assuming saving to directory /etc/secfile/array1).
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    # su -l cinder -c '/opt/Navisphere/bin/naviseccli -AddUserSecurity -user admin -password admin -scope 0 -secfilepath /etc/secfile/array1'
    Save the security file to the different locations for different arrays except where the same credentials are shared between all arrays managed by the host. Otherwise, the credentials in the security file will be overwritten. If -secfilepath is not specified in the command above, the security file will be saved to the default location which is the home directory of the executor.
  5. Change cinder:x:113:120::/var/lib/cinder:/bin/bash back to cinder:x:113:120::/var/lib/cinder:/bin/false in /etc/passwd.
  6. Remove the credentials options san_login, san_password and storage_vnx_authentication_type from cinder.conf (normally it is /etc/cinder/cinder.conf). Add the option storage_vnx_security_file_dir and set its value to the directory path supplied with switch -secfilepath in step 4. Omit this option if -secfilepath is not used in step 4.
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    #Directory path that contains the VNX security file. Generate the security file first
    storage_vnx_security_file_dir = /etc/secfile/array1
  7. Restart cinder-volume service to make the change take effect.
Alternatively, the credentials can be specified in /etc/cinder/cinder.conf through the three options below:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
#VNX user name
san_login = username
#VNX user password
san_password = password
#VNX user type. Valid values are: global, local and ldap. global is the default value
storage_vnx_authentication_type = ldap
2.2.5.7. Restriction of deployment
It does not suggest to deploy the driver on a compute node if cinder upload-to-image --force True is used against an in-use volume. Otherwise, cinder upload-to-image --force True will terminate the vm instance's data access to the volume.
2.2.5.8. Restriction of volume extension
VNX does not support to extend the thick volume which has a snapshot. If the user tries to extend a volume which has a snapshot, the volume's status would change to error_extending.
2.2.5.9. Restriction of iSCSI attachment
The driver caches the iSCSI ports information. If the iSCSI port configurations are changed, the administrator should restart the cinder-volume service or wait 5 minutes before any volume attachment operation. Otherwise, the attachment may fail because the old iSCSI port configurations were used.
2.2.5.10. Provisioning type (thin, thick, deduplicated and compressed)
User can specify extra spec key storagetype:provisioning in volume type to set the provisioning type of a volume. The provisioning type can be thick, thin, deduplicated or compressed.
  • thick provisioning type means the volume is fully provisioned.
  • thin provisioning type means the volume is virtually provisioned.
  • deduplicated provisioning type means the volume is virtually provisioned and the deduplication is enabled on it. Administrator shall go to VNX to configure the system level deduplication settings. To create a deduplicated volume, the VNX deduplication license should be activated on VNX first, and use key deduplication_support=True to let Block Storage scheduler find a volume back end which manages a VNX with deduplication license activated.
  • compressed provisioning type means the volume is virtually provisioned and the compression is enabled on it. Administrator shall go to the VNX to configure the system level compression settings. To create a compressed volume, the VNX compression license should be activated on VNX first, and the user should specify key compression_support=True to let Block Storage scheduler find a volume back end which manages a VNX with compression license activated. VNX does not support to create a snapshot on a compressed volume. If the user tries to create a snapshot on a compressed volume, the operation would fail and OpenStack would show the new snapshot in error state.
Here is an example about how to create a volume with provisioning type. Firstly create a volume type and specify storage pool in the extra spec, then create a volume with this volume type:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
$ cinder type-create "ThickVolume"
$ cinder type-create "ThinVolume"
$ cinder type-create "DeduplicatedVolume"
$ cinder type-create "CompressedVolume"
$ cinder type-key "ThickVolume" set storagetype:provisioning=thick
$ cinder type-key "ThinVolume" set storagetype:provisioning=thin
$ cinder type-key "DeduplicatedVolume" set storagetype:provisioning=deduplicated deduplication_support=True
$ cinder type-key "CompressedVolume" set storagetype:provisioning=compressed compression_support=True
In the example above, four volume types are created: ThickVolume, ThinVolume, DeduplicatedVolume and CompressedVolume. For ThickVolume, storagetype:provisioning is set to thick. Similarly for other volume types. If storagetype:provisioning is not specified or an invalid value, the default value thick is adopted.
Volume type name, such as ThickVolume, is user-defined and can be any name. Extra spec key storagetype:provisioning shall be the exact name listed here. Extra spec value for storagetype:provisioning shall be thick, thin, deduplicated or compressed. During volume creation, if the driver finds storagetype:provisioning in the extra spec of the volume type, it will create the volume with the provisioning type accordingly. Otherwise, the volume will be thick as the default.
2.2.5.11. Fully automated storage tiering support
VNX supports Fully automated storage tiering which requires the FAST license activated on the VNX. The OpenStack administrator can use the extra spec key storagetype:tiering to set the tiering policy of a volume and use the extra spec key fast_support=True to let Block Storage scheduler find a volume back end which manages a VNX with FAST license activated. Here are the five supported values for the extra spec key storagetype:tiering:
  • StartHighThenAuto (Default option)
  • Auto
  • HighestAvailable
  • LowestAvailable
  • NoMovement
Tiering policy can not be set for a deduplicated volume. The user can check storage pool properties on VNX to know the tiering policy of a deduplicated volume.
Here is an example about how to create a volume with tiering policy:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
$ cinder type-create "AutoTieringVolume"
$ cinder type-key "AutoTieringVolume" set storagetype:tiering=Auto fast_support=True
$ cinder type-create "ThinVolumeOnLowestAvaibleTier"
$ cinder type-key "CompressedVolumeOnLowestAvaibleTier" set storagetype:provisioning=thin storagetype:tiering=Auto fast_support=True
2.2.5.12. FAST Cache support
VNX has FAST Cache feature which requires the FAST Cache license activated on the VNX. The OpenStack administrator can use the extra spec key fast_cache_enabled to choose whether to create a volume on the volume back end which manages a pool with FAST Cache enabled. The value of the extra spec key fast_cache_enabled is either True or False. When creating a volume, if the key fast_cache_enabled is set to True in the volume type, the volume will be created by a back end which manages a pool with FAST Cache enabled.
2.2.5.13. Storage group automatic deletion
For volume attaching, the driver has a storage group on VNX for each compute node hosting the vm instances that are going to consume VNX Block Storage (using the compute node's hostname as the storage group's name). All the volumes attached to the vm instances in a computer node will be put into the corresponding Storage Group. If destroy_empty_storage_group=True, the driver will remove the empty storage group when its last volume is detached. For data safety, it does not suggest to set the option destroy_empty_storage_group=True unless the VNX is exclusively managed by one Block Storage node because consistent lock_path is required for operation synchronization for this behavior.
2.2.5.14. EMC storage-assisted volume migration
EMC VNX direct driver supports storage-assisted volume migration, when the user starts migrating with cinder migrate --force-host-copy False volume_id host or cinder migrate volume_id host, cinder will try to leverage the VNX's native volume migration functionality.
In the following scenarios, VNX native volume migration will not be triggered:
  • Volume migration between back ends with different storage protocol, ex, FC and iSCSI.
  • Volume is being migrated across arrays.
2.2.5.15. Initiator auto registration
If initiator_auto_registration=True, the driver will automatically register iSCSI initiators with all working iSCSI target ports on the VNX array during volume attaching (The driver will skip those initiators that have already been registered).
If the user wants to register the initiators with some specific ports on VNX but not register with the other ports, this functionality should be disabled.
2.2.5.16. Initiator auto deregistration
Enabling storage group automatic deletion is the precondition of this functionality. If initiator_auto_deregistration=True is set, the driver will deregister all the iSCSI initiators of the host after its storage group is deleted.
2.2.5.17. Read-only volumes
OpenStack supports read-only volumes. The following command can be used to set a volume to read-only.
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
$ cinder readonly-mode-update volume True
After a volume is marked as read-only, the driver will forward the information when a hypervisor is attaching the volume and the hypervisor will have an implementation-specific way to make sure the volume is not written.
2.2.5.18. Multiple pools support
The user configures a storage pool for a Block Storage back end (named as pool-based back end), so that the Block Storage back end uses only that storage pool.
If storage_vnx_pool_name is not given in the configuration file, the Block Storage back end uses all the pools on the VNX array, and the scheduler chooses the pool to place the volume based on its capacities and capabilities. This kind of Block Storage back end is named as array-based back end.
Here is an example about configuration of array-based back end:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

#Directory path that contains the VNX security file. Make sure the security file is generated first

In this configuration, if the user wants to create a volume on a certain storage pool, a volume type with a extra spec specified the storage pool should be created first, then the user can use this volume type to create the volume.
Here is an example about creating the volume type:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
$ cinder type-create "HighPerf"
$ cinder type-key "HighPerf" set pool_name=Pool_02_SASFLASH volume_backend_name=vnx_41
2.2.5.19. Volume number threshold
In VNX, there is a limit on the maximum number of pool volumes that can be created in the system. When the limit is reached, no more pool volumes can be created even if there is enough remaining capacity in the storage pool. In other words, if the scheduler dispatches a volume creation request to a back end that has free capacity but reaches the limit, the back end will fail to create the corresponding volume.
The default value of the option check_max_pool_luns_threshold is False. When check_max_pool_luns_threshold=True, the pool-based back end will check the limit and will report 0 free capacity to the scheduler if the limit is reached. So the scheduler will be able to skip this kind of pool-based back end that runs out of the pool volume number.
2.2.5.20. FC SAN auto zoning
EMC direct driver supports FC SAN auto zoning when ZoneManager is configured. Set zoning_mode to fabric in back-end configuration section to enable this feature. For ZoneManager configuration, please refer to Section 2.6, “Fibre Channel Zone Manager”.

2.2.5.22. Force delete volumes in storage groups
Some available volumes may remain in storage groups on the VNX array due to some OpenStack timeout issues. But the VNX array does not allow the user to delete the volumes which are still in storage groups. The option force_delete_lun_in_storagegroup is introduced to allow the user to delete the available volumes in this tricky situation.
When force_delete_lun_in_storagegroup=True is set in the back-end section, the driver will move the volumes out of storage groups and then delete them if the user tries to delete the volumes that remain in storage groups on the VNX array.
The default value of force_delete_lun_in_storagegroup is False.

2.2.6. EMC XtremIO Block Storage driver configuration

The high performance XtremIO All Flash Array (AFA) offers Block Storage services to OpenStack. Using the driver, OpenStack Block Storage hosts can connect to an XtermIO Storage cluster.
This section explains how to configure and connect an OpenStack block storage host to an XtremIO storage cluster.
2.2.6.1. Support matrix
  • Xtremapp: Version 3.0 and 4.0
2.2.6.2. Supported operations
  • Create, delete, clone, attach, and detach volumes
  • Create and delete volume snapshots
  • Create a volume from a snapshot
  • Copy an image to a volume
  • Copy a volume to an image
  • Extend a volume
  • Manage and unmanage a volume
  • Get volume statistics
2.2.6.3. XtremIO Block Storage driver configuration
Edit the cinder.conf file by adding the configuration below under the [DEFAULT] section of the file in case of a single back end or under a separate section in case of multiple back ends (for example [XTREMIO]). The configuration file is usually located under the following path /etc/cinder/cinder.conf.
For a configuration example, refer to the configuration example.
2.2.6.3.1. XtremIO driver name
Configure the driver name by adding the following parameter:
  • For iSCSI volume_driver = cinder.volume.drivers.emc.xtremio.XtremIOIscsiDriver
  • For Fibre Channel volume_driver = cinder.volume.drivers.emc.xtremio.XtremIOFibreChannelDriver
2.2.6.3.2. XtremIO management server (XMS) IP
To retrieve the management IP, use the show-xms CLI command.
Configure the management IP by adding the following parameter: san_ip = XMS Management IP
2.2.6.3.3. XtremIO cluster name
In XtremIO version 4.0, a single XMS can manage multiple cluster back ends. In such setups, the administrator is required to specify the cluster name (in addition to the XMS IP). Each cluster must be defined as a separate back end.
To retrieve the Cluster Name, run the show-clusters CLI command.
Configure the cluster name by adding the xtremio_cluster_name = Cluster-Name
Note
When a single cluster is managed in XtremIO version 4.0, the cluster name is not required.
2.2.6.3.4. XtremIO user credentials
OpenStack Block Storage requires an XtremIO XMS user with administrative privileges. XtremIO recommends creating a dedicated OpenStack user account that holds an administrative user role.
Refer to the XtremIO User Guide for details on user account management
Create an XMS account using either the XMS GUI or the add-user-accountCLI command.
Configure the user credentials by adding the following parameters:
san_login = XMS username
san_password = XMS username password
2.2.6.4. Multiple back ends
Configuring multiple storage back ends enables you to create several back-end storage solutions that serve the same OpenStack Compute resources.
When a volume is created, the scheduler selects the appropriate back end to handle the request, according to the specified volume type.
2.2.6.5. Setting thin provisioning and multipathing parameters
To support thin provisioning and multipathing in the XtremIO Array, the following parameters from the Nova and Cinder configuration files should be modified as follows:
  • Thin Provisioning
    All XtremIO volumes are thin provisioned. The default value of 20 should be maintained for the max_over_subscription_ratio parameter.
    The use_cow_images parameter in thenova.conffile should be set to False as follows:
    use_cow_images = false
  • Multipathing
    The use_multipath_for_image_xfer parameter in thecinder.conf file should be set to True as follows:
    use_multipath_for_image_xfer = true
2.2.6.6. Restarting OpenStack Block Storage
Save thecinder.conffile and restart cinder by running the following command:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
$ openstack-service restart cinder-volume
2.2.6.7. Configuring CHAP
The XtremIO Block Storage driver supports CHAP initiator authentication. If CHAP initiator authentication is required, set the CHAP Authentication mode to initiator.
To set the CHAP initiator mode using CLI, run the following CLI command:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
$ modify-chap chap-authentication-mode=initiator
The CHAP initiator mode can also be set via the XMS GUI
Refer to XtremIO User Guide for details on CHAP configuration via GUI and CLI.
The CHAP initiator authentication credentials (username and password) are generated automatically by the Block Storage driver. Therefore, there is no need to configure the initial CHAP credentials manually in XMS.
2.2.6.8. Configuration example
cinder.conf example file
You can update the cinder.conf file by editing the necessary parameters as follows:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
[Default]
enabled_backends = XtremIO

san_login = XMS_USER
san_password = XMS_PASSWD
volume_backend_name = XtremIOAFA

2.2.7. GlusterFS driver

GlusterFS is an open-source scalable distributed file system that is able to grow to petabytes and beyond in size. More information can be found on Gluster's homepage.
This driver enables the use of GlusterFS in a similar fashion as NFS. It supports basic volume operations, including snapshot/clone.
Note
You must use a Linux kernel of version 3.4 or greater (or version 2.6.32 or greater in Red Hat Enterprise Linux/CentOS 6.3+) when working with Gluster-based volumes. See Bug 1177103 for more information.
To use Block Storage with GlusterFS, first set the volume_driver in cinder.conf:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
volume_driver=cinder.volume.drivers.glusterfs.GlusterfsDriver
The following table contains the configuration options supported by the GlusterFS driver.
Table 2.4. Description of GlusterFS storage configuration options
Configuration option = Default value Description
[DEFAULT]
glusterfs_mount_point_base = $state_path/mnt (StrOpt) Base dir containing mount points for gluster shares.
glusterfs_qcow2_volumes = False (BoolOpt) Create volumes as QCOW2 files rather than raw files.
glusterfs_shares_config = /etc/cinder/glusterfs_shares (StrOpt) File with the list of available gluster shares
glusterfs_sparsed_volumes = True (BoolOpt) Create volumes as sparsed files which take no space.If set to False volume is created as regular file.In such case volume creation takes a lot of time.

2.2.8. HDS HNAS iSCSI and NFS driver

This OpenStack Block Storage volume driver provides iSCSI and NFS support for Hitachi NAS Platform Models 3080, 3090, 4040, 4060, 4080 and 4100.
2.2.8.1. Supported operations
The NFS and iSCSI drivers support these operations:
  • Create, delete, attach, and detach volumes.
  • Create, list, and delete volume snapshots.
  • Create a volume from a snapshot.
  • Copy an image to a volume.
  • Copy a volume to an image.
  • Clone a volume.
  • Extend a volume.
  • Get volume statistics.
2.2.8.2. HNAS storage requirements
Before using iSCSI and NFS services, use the HNAS configuration and management GUI (SMU) or SSC CLI to create storage pool(s), file system(s), and assign an EVS. Make sure that the file system used is not created as replication targets. Additionally:
For NFS:
Create NFS exports, choose a path for them (it must be different from "/") and set the Show snapshots option to hide and disable access.
Also, configure the option norootsquash as "* (rw, norootsquash)", so cinder services can change the permissions of its volumes.
In order to use the hardware accelerated features of NFS HNAS, we recommend setting max-nfs-version to 3. Refer to HNAS command line reference to see how to configure this option.
For iSCSI:
You need to set an iSCSI domain.
2.2.8.3. Block storage host requirements
The HNAS driver is supported for Red Hat. The following packages must be installed:
  1. nfs-utils for Red Hat
  2. If you are not using SSH, you need the HDS SSC package (hds-ssc-v1.0-1) to communicate with an HNAS array using the SSC command. This utility package is available in the RPM package distributed with the hardware through physical media or it can be manually copied from the SMU to the Block Storage host.
2.2.8.4. Package installation
If you are installing the driver from a RPM or DEB package, follow the steps bellow:
  1. Install SSC:
    In Red Hat:
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    # rpm -i hds-ssc-v1.0-1.rpm
  2. Install the dependencies:
    In Red Hat:
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    # yum install nfs-utils nfs-utils-lib
  3. Configure the driver as described in the "Driver Configuration" section.
  4. Restart all cinder services (volume, scheduler and backup).
2.2.8.5. Driver configuration
The HDS driver supports the concept of differentiated services (also referred as quality of service) by mapping volume types to services provided through HNAS.
HNAS supports a variety of storage options and file system capabilities, which are selected through the definition of volume types and the use of multiple back ends. The driver maps up to four volume types into separated exports or file systems, and can support any number if using multiple back ends.
The configuration for the driver is read from an XML-formatted file (one per back end), which you need to create and set its path in the cinder.conf configuration file. Below are the configuration needed in the cinder.conf configuration file [1]:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
[DEFAULT]
enabled_backends = hnas_iscsi1, hnas_nfs1

      <hdp>fs01-platinun</hdp>
    </svc_1>
  </config>
2.2.8.6. HNAS volume driver XML configuration options
An OpenStack Block Storage node using HNAS drivers can have up to four services. Each service is defined by a svc_n tag (svc_0, svc_1, svc_2, or svc_3 [2], for example). These are the configuration options available for each service label:
Table 2.5. Configuration options for service labels
Option Type Default Description
volume_type
Required
default
When a create_volume call with a certain volume type happens, the volume type will try to be matched up with this tag. In each configuration file you must define the default volume type in the service labels and, if no volume type is specified, the default is used. Other labels are case sensitive and should match exactly. If no configured volume types match the incoming requested type, an error occurs in the volume creation.
iscsi_ip
Required only for iSCSI
An iSCSI IP address dedicated to the service.
hdp
Required
For iSCSI driver: virtual file system label associated with the service.
For NFS driver: path to the volume (<ip_address>:/<path>) associated with the service.
Additionally, this entry must be added in the file used to list available NFS shares. This file is located, by default, in /etc/cinder/nfs_shares or you can specify the location in the nfs_shares_config option in the cinder.conf configuration file.
These are the configuration options available to the config section of the XML config file:
Table 2.6. Configuration options
Option Type Default Description
mgmt_ip0
Required
Management Port 0 IP address. Should be the IP address of the "Admin" EVS.
hnas_cmd
Optional
ssc
Command to communicate to HNAS array.
chap_enabled
Optional (iSCSI only)
True
Boolean tag used to enable CHAP authentication protocol.
username
Required
supervisor
It's always required on HNAS.
password
Required
supervisor
Password is always required on HNAS.
svc_0, svc_1, svc_2, svc_3
Optional
(at least one label has to be defined)
Service labels: these four predefined names help four different sets of configuration options. Each can specify HDP and a unique volume type.
cluster_admin_ip0
Optional if ssh_enabled is True
The address of HNAS cluster admin.
ssh_enabled
Optional
False
Enables SSH authentication between Block Storage host and the SMU.
ssh_private_key
Required if ssh_enabled is True
False
Path to the SSH private key used to authenticate in HNAS SMU. The public key must be uploaded to HNAS SMU using ssh-register-public-key (this is an SSH subcommand). Note that copying the public key HNAS using ssh-copy-id doesn't work properly as the SMU periodically wipe out those keys.
2.2.8.7. Service labels
HNAS driver supports differentiated types of service using the service labels. It is possible to create up to four types of them, as gold, platinun, silver and ssd, for example.
After creating the services in the XML configuration file, you must configure one volume_type per service. Each volume_type must have the metadata service_label with the same name configured in the <volume_type> section of that service. If this is not set, OpenStack Block Storage will schedule the volume creation to the pool with largest available free space or other criteria configured in volume filters.
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
$ cinder type-create 'default'
$ cinder type-key 'default' set service_label = 'default'
$ cinder type-create 'platinun-tier'
$ cinder type-key 'platinun' set service_label = 'platinun'
2.2.8.8. Multi-back-end configuration
If you use multiple back ends and intend to enable the creation of a volume in a specific back end, you must configure volume types to set the volume_backend_name option to the appropriate back end. Then, create volume_type configurations with the same volume_backend_name .
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
$ cinder type-create 'iscsi'
$ cinder type-key 'iscsi' set volume_backend_name = 'HNAS-ISCSI'
$ cinder type-create 'nfs'
$ cinder type-key 'nfs' set volume_backend_name = 'HNAS-NFS'
You can deploy multiple OpenStack HNAS drivers instances that each control a separate HNAS array. Each service (svc_0, svc_1, svc_2, svc_3) on the instances need to have a volume_type and service_label metadata associated with it. If no metadata is associated with a pool, OpenStack Block Storage filtering algorithm selects the pool with the largest available free space.
2.2.8.9. SSH configuration
Instead of using SSC on the Block Storage host and store its credential on the XML configuration file, HNAS driver supports SSH authentication. To configure that:
  1. If you don't have a pair of public keys already generated, create it in the Block Storage host (leave the pass-phrase empty):
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    $ mkdir -p /opt/hds/ssh
    $ ssh-keygen -f /opt/hds/ssh/hnaskey
  2. Change the owner of the key to cinder (or the user the volume service will be run):
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    # chown -R cinder.cinder /opt/hds/ssh
  3. Create the directory "ssh_keys" in the SMU server:
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    $ ssh [manager|supervisor]@<smu-ip> 'mkdir -p /var/opt/mercury-main/home/[manager|supervisor]/ssh_keys/'
  4. Copy the public key to the "ssh_keys" directory:
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    $ scp /opt/hds/ssh/hnaskey.pub [manager|supervisor]@<smu-ip>:/var/opt/mercury-main/home/[manager|supervisor]/ssh_keys/
  5. Access the SMU server:
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    $ ssh [manager|supervisor]@<smu-ip>
  6. Run the command to register the SSH keys:
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    $ ssh-register-public-key -u [manager|supervisor] -f ssh_keys/hnaskey.pub
  7. Check the communication with HNAS in the Block Storage host:
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    $ ssh -i /opt/hds/ssh/hnaskey [manager|supervisor]@<smu-ip> 'ssc <cluster_admin_ip0> df -a'
<cluster_admin_ip0> is "localhost" for single node deployments. This should return a list of available file systems on HNAS.
2.2.8.10. Editing the XML config file:
  1. Set the "username".
  2. Enable SSH adding the line "<ssh_enabled> True</ssh_enabled>" under "<config>" session.
  3. Set the private key path: "<ssh_private_key> /opt/hds/ssh/hnaskey</ssh_private_key>" under "<config>" session.
  4. If the HNAS is in a multi-cluster configuration set "<cluster_admin_ip0>" to the cluster node admin IP. In a single node HNAS, leave it empty.
  5. Restart the cinder service.
2.2.8.11. Additional notes
  • The get_volume_stats() function always provides the available capacity based on the combined sum of all the HDPs that are used in these services labels.
  • After changing the configuration on the storage, the OpenStack Block Storage driver must be restarted.
  • HNAS iSCSI driver, due to an HNAS limitation, allows only 32 volumes per target.
  • On Red Hat, if the system is configured to use SELinux, you need to set "virt_use_nfs = on" for NFS driver work properly.

2.2.9. HDS HUS iSCSI driver

This Block Storage volume driver provides iSCSI support for HUS (Hitachi Unified Storage) arrays such as, HUS-110, HUS-130, and HUS-150.
2.2.9.1. System requirements
Use the HDS hus-cmd command to communicate with an HUS array. You can download this utility package from the HDS support site (https://hdssupport.hds.com/).
Platform: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS or newer.
2.2.9.2. Supported operations
  • Create, delete, attach, and detach volumes.
  • Create, list, and delete volume snapshots.
  • Create a volume from a snapshot.
  • Copy an image to a volume.
  • Copy a volume to an image.
  • Clone a volume.
  • Extend a volume.
  • Get volume statistics.
2.2.9.3. Configuration
The HDS driver supports the concept of differentiated services, where a volume type can be associated with the fine-tuned performance characteristics of an HDP— the dynamic pool where volumes are created[3]. For instance, an HDP can consist of fast SSDs to provide speed. HDP can provide a certain reliability based on things like its RAID level characteristics. HDS driver maps volume type to the volume_type option in its configuration file.
Configuration is read from an XML-format file. Examples are shown for single and multi back-end cases.
Note
  • Configuration is read from an XML file. This example shows the configuration for single back-end and for multi-back-end cases.
  • It is not recommended to manage an HUS array simultaneously from multiple OpenStack Block Storage instances or servers. [4]

HUS setup
Before using iSCSI services, use the HUS UI to create an iSCSI domain for each EVS providing iSCSI services.
Single back-end
In a single back-end deployment, only one OpenStack Block Storage instance runs on the OpenStack Block Storage server and controls one HUS array: this deployment requires these configuration files:
  1. Set the hds_cinder_config_file option in the /etc/cinder/cinder.conf file to use the HDS volume driver. This option points to a configuration file.[5]
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    volume_driver = cinder.volume.drivers.hds.hds.HUSDriver
    hds_cinder_config_file = /opt/hds/hus/cinder_hds_conf.xml
  2. Configure hds_cinder_config_file at the location specified previously. For example, /opt/hds/hus/cinder_hds_conf.xml:
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

            4000
        </lun_end>
    </config>
Multi back-end
In a multi back-end deployment, more than one OpenStack Block Storage instance runs on the same server. In this example, two HUS arrays are used, possibly providing different storage performance:
  1. Configure /etc/cinder/cinder.conf: the hus1 hus2 configuration blocks are created. Set the hds_cinder_config_file option to point to a unique configuration file for each block. Set the volume_driver option for each back-end to cinder.volume.drivers.hds.hds.HUSDriver

Type extra specs: volume_backend and volume type
If you use volume types, you must configure them in the configuration file and set the volume_backend_name option to the appropriate back-end. In the previous multi back-end example, the platinum volume type is served by hus-2, and the regular volume type is served by hus-1.

cinder type-key regular set volume_backend_name=hus-1
cinder type-key platinum set volume_backend_name=hus-2
Non differentiated deployment of HUS arrays
You can deploy multiple OpenStack Block Storage instances that each control a separate HUS array. Each instance has no volume type associated with it. The OpenStack Block Storage filtering algorithm selects the HUS array with the largest available free space. In each configuration file, you must define the default volume_type in the service labels.
2.2.9.4. HDS iSCSI volume driver configuration options
These details apply to the XML format configuration file that is read by HDS volume driver. These differentiated service labels are predefined: svc_0, svc_1, svc_2, and svc_3[6]. Each respective service label associates with these parameters and tags:
  1. volume-types: A create_volume call with a certain volume type shall be matched up with this tag. default is special in that any service associated with this type is used to create volume when no other labels match. Other labels are case sensitive and should exactly match. If no configured volume_types match the incoming requested type, an error occurs in volume creation.
  2. HDP, the pool ID associated with the service.
  3. An iSCSI port dedicated to the service.
Typically a OpenStack Block Storage volume instance has only one such service label. For example, any svc_0, svc_1, svc_2, or svc_3 can be associated with it. But any mix of these service labels can be used in the same instance [7].

2.2.10. IBM Storwize family and SVC volume driver

The volume management driver for Storwize family and SAN Volume Controller (SVC) provides OpenStack Compute instances with access to IBM Storwize family or SVC storage systems.
2.2.10.1. Configure the Storwize family and SVC system
Network configuration
The Storwize family or SVC system must be configured for iSCSI, Fibre Channel, or both.
If using iSCSI, each Storwize family or SVC node should have at least one iSCSI IP address. The IBM Storwize/SVC driver uses an iSCSI IP address associated with the volume's preferred node (if available) to attach the volume to the instance, otherwise it uses the first available iSCSI IP address of the system. The driver obtains the iSCSI IP address directly from the storage system; you do not need to provide these iSCSI IP addresses directly to the driver.
Note
If using iSCSI, ensure that the compute nodes have iSCSI network access to the Storwize family or SVC system.
Note
OpenStack Nova's Grizzly version supports iSCSI multipath. Once this is configured on the Nova host (outside the scope of this documentation), multipath is enabled.
If using Fibre Channel (FC), each Storwize family or SVC node should have at least one WWPN port configured. If the storwize_svc_multipath_enabled flag is set to True in the Cinder configuration file, the driver uses all available WWPNs to attach the volume to the instance (details about the configuration flags appear in the next section). If the flag is not set, the driver uses the WWPN associated with the volume's preferred node (if available), otherwise it uses the first available WWPN of the system. The driver obtains the WWPNs directly from the storage system; you do not need to provide these WWPNs directly to the driver.
Note
If using FC, ensure that the compute nodes have FC connectivity to the Storwize family or SVC system.
iSCSI CHAP authentication
If using iSCSI for data access and the storwize_svc_iscsi_chap_enabled is set to True, the driver will associate randomly-generated CHAP secrets with all hosts on the Storwize family system. OpenStack compute nodes use these secrets when creating iSCSI connections.
Note
CHAP secrets are added to existing hosts as well as newly-created ones. If the CHAP option is enabled, hosts will not be able to access the storage without the generated secrets.
Note
Not all OpenStack Compute drivers support CHAP authentication. Please check compatibility before using.
Note
CHAP secrets are passed from OpenStack Block Storage to Compute in clear text. This communication should be secured to ensure that CHAP secrets are not discovered.
Configure storage pools
Each instance of the IBM Storwize/SVC driver allocates all volumes in a single pool. The pool should be created in advance and be provided to the driver using the storwize_svc_volpool_name configuration flag. Details about the configuration flags and how to provide the flags to the driver appear in the next section.
Configure user authentication for the driver
The driver requires access to the Storwize family or SVC system management interface. The driver communicates with the management using SSH. The driver should be provided with the Storwize family or SVC management IP using the san_ip flag, and the management port should be provided by the san_ssh_port flag. By default, the port value is configured to be port 22 (SSH).
Note
Make sure the compute node running the cinder-volume management driver has SSH network access to the storage system.
To allow the driver to communicate with the Storwize family or SVC system, you must provide the driver with a user on the storage system. The driver has two authentication methods: password-based authentication and SSH key pair authentication. The user should have an Administrator role. It is suggested to create a new user for the management driver. Please consult with your storage and security administrator regarding the preferred authentication method and how passwords or SSH keys should be stored in a secure manner.
Note
When creating a new user on the Storwize or SVC system, make sure the user belongs to the Administrator group or to another group that has an Administrator role.
If using password authentication, assign a password to the user on the Storwize or SVC system. The driver configuration flags for the user and password are san_login and san_password, respectively.
If you are using the SSH key pair authentication, create SSH private and public keys using the instructions below or by any other method. Associate the public key with the user by uploading the public key: select the "choose file" option in the Storwize family or SVC management GUI under "SSH public key". Alternatively, you may associate the SSH public key using the command line interface; details can be found in the Storwize and SVC documentation. The private key should be provided to the driver using the san_private_key configuration flag.
Create a SSH key pair with OpenSSH
You can create an SSH key pair using OpenSSH, by running:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
$ ssh-keygen -t rsa
The command prompts for a file to save the key pair. For example, if you select 'key' as the filename, two files are created: key and key.pub. The key file holds the private SSH key and key.pub holds the public SSH key.
The command also prompts for a pass phrase, which should be empty.
The private key file should be provided to the driver using the san_private_key configuration flag. The public key should be uploaded to the Storwize family or SVC system using the storage management GUI or command line interface.
Note
Ensure that Cinder has read permissions on the private key file.
2.2.10.2. Configure the Storwize family and SVC driver
Enable the Storwize family and SVC driver
Set the volume driver to the Storwize family and SVC driver by setting the volume_driver option in cinder.conf as follows:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
volume_driver = cinder.volume.drivers.ibm.storwize_svc.StorwizeSVCDriver
Storwize family and SVC driver options in cinder.conf
The following options specify default values for all volumes. Some can be over-ridden using volume types, which are described below.

storwize_svc_multipath_enabled
Optional
False
Enable multipath for FC connections [g]
storwize_svc_multihost_enabled
Optional
True
Enable mapping vdisks to multiple hosts [h]
[a] The authentication requires either a password (san_password) or SSH private key (san_private_key). One must be specified. If both are specified, the driver uses only the SSH private key.
[b] The driver creates thin-provisioned volumes by default. The storwize_svc_vol_rsize flag defines the initial physical allocation percentage for thin-provisioned volumes, or if set to -1, the driver creates full allocated volumes. More details about the available options are available in the Storwize family and SVC documentation.
[c] Defines whether thin-provisioned volumes can be auto expanded by the storage system, a value of True means that auto expansion is enabled, a value of False disables auto expansion. Details about this option can be found in the –autoexpand flag of the Storwize family and SVC command line interface mkvdisk command.
[d] Defines whether Real-time Compression is used for the volumes created with OpenStack. Details on Real-time Compression can be found in the Storwize family and SVC documentation. The Storwize or SVC system must have compression enabled for this feature to work.
[e] Defines whether Easy Tier is used for the volumes created with OpenStack. Details on EasyTier can be found in the Storwize family and SVC documentation. The Storwize or SVC system must have Easy Tier enabled for this feature to work.
[f] The driver wait timeout threshold when creating an OpenStack snapshot. This is actually the maximum amount of time that the driver waits for the Storwize family or SVC system to prepare a new FlashCopy mapping. The driver accepts a maximum wait time of 600 seconds (10 minutes).
[g] Multipath for iSCSI connections requires no storage-side configuration and is enabled if the compute host has multipath configured.
[h] This option allows the driver to map a vdisk to more than one host at a time. This scenario occurs during migration of a virtual machine with an attached volume; the volume is simultaneously mapped to both the source and destination compute hosts. If your deployment does not require attaching vdisks to multiple hosts, setting this flag to False will provide added safety.

storwize_svc_volpool_name = volpool (StrOpt) Storage system storage pool for volumes
Placement with volume types
The IBM Storwize/SVC driver exposes capabilities that can be added to the extra specs of volume types, and used by the filter scheduler to determine placement of new volumes. Make sure to prefix these keys with capabilities: to indicate that the scheduler should use them. The following extra specs are supported:
  • capabilities:volume_back-end_name - Specify a specific back-end where the volume should be created. The back-end name is a concatenation of the name of the IBM Storwize/SVC storage system as shown in lssystem, an underscore, and the name of the pool (mdisk group). For example: Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    capabilities:volume_back-end_name=myV7000_openstackpool
  • capabilities:compression_support - Specify a back-end according to compression support. A value of True should be used to request a back-end that supports compression, and a value of False will request a back-end that does not support compression. If you do not have constraints on compression support, do not set this key. Note that specifying True does not enable compression; it only requests that the volume be placed on a back-end that supports compression. Example syntax: Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    capabilities:compression_support='<is> True'
  • capabilities:easytier_support - Similar semantics as the compression_support key, but for specifying according to support of the Easy Tier feature. Example syntax: Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    capabilities:easytier_support='<is> True'
  • capabilities:storage_protocol - Specifies the connection protocol used to attach volumes of this type to instances. Legal values are iSCSI and FC. This extra specs value is used for both placement and setting the protocol used for this volume. In the example syntax, note <in> is used as opposed to <is> used in the previous examples. Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    capabilities:storage_protocol='<in> FC'
Configure per-volume creation options
Volume types can also be used to pass options to the IBM Storwize/SVC driver, which over-ride the default values set in the configuration file. Contrary to the previous examples where the "capabilities" scope was used to pass parameters to the Cinder scheduler, options can be passed to the IBM Storwize/SVC driver with the "drivers" scope.
The following extra specs keys are supported by the IBM Storwize/SVC driver:
  • rsize
  • warning
  • autoexpand
  • grainsize
  • compression
  • easytier
  • multipath
  • iogrp
These keys have the same semantics as their counterparts in the configuration file. They are set similarly; for example, rsize=2 or compression=False.
Example: Volume types
In the following example, we create a volume type to specify a controller that supports iSCSI and compression, to use iSCSI when attaching the volume, and to enable compression:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
$ cinder type-create compressed
$ cinder type-key compressed set capabilities:storage_protocol='<in> iSCSI' capabilities:compression_support='<is> True' drivers:compression=True
We can then create a 50GB volume using this type:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
$ cinder create --display-name "compressed volume" --volume-type compressed 50
Volume types can be used, for example, to provide users with different
  • performance levels (such as, allocating entirely on an HDD tier, using Easy Tier for an HDD-SDD mix, or allocating entirely on an SSD tier)
  • resiliency levels (such as, allocating volumes in pools with different RAID levels)
  • features (such as, enabling/disabling Real-time Compression)
QOS
The Storwize driver provides QOS support for storage volumes by controlling the I/O amount. QOS is enabled by editing the etc/cinder/cinder.conf file and setting the storwize_svc_allow_tenant_qos to True.
There are three ways to set the Storwize IOThrotting parameter for storage volumes:
  • Add the qos:IOThrottling key into a QOS specification and associate it with a volume type.
  • Add the qos:IOThrottling key into an extra specification with a volume type.
  • Add the qos:IOThrottling key to the storage volume metadata.
Note
If you are changing a volume type with QOS to a new volume type without QOS, the QOS configuration settings will be removed.
2.2.10.3. Operational notes for the Storwize family and SVC driver
Migrate volumes
In the context of OpenStack Block Storage's volume migration feature, the IBM Storwize/SVC driver enables the storage's virtualization technology. When migrating a volume from one pool to another, the volume will appear in the destination pool almost immediately, while the storage moves the data in the background.
Note
To enable this feature, both pools involved in a given volume migration must have the same values for extent_size. If the pools have different values for extent_size, the data will still be moved directly between the pools (not host-side copy), but the operation will be synchronous.
Extend volumes
The IBM Storwize/SVC driver allows for extending a volume's size, but only for volumes without snapshots.
Snapshots and clones
Snapshots are implemented using FlashCopy with no background copy (space-efficient). Volume clones (volumes created from existing volumes) are implemented with FlashCopy, but with background copy enabled. This means that volume clones are independent, full copies. While this background copy is taking place, attempting to delete or extend the source volume will result in that operation waiting for the copy to complete.
Volume retype
The IBM Storwize/SVC driver enables you to modify volume types. When you modify volume types, you can also change these extra specs properties:
  • rsize
  • warning
  • autoexpand
  • grainsize
  • compression
  • easytier
  • iogrp
Note
When you change the rsize, grainsize or compression properties, volume copies are asynchronously synchronized on the array.
Note
To change the iogrp property, IBM Storwize/SVC firmware version 6.4.0 or later is required.

2.2.11. IBM XIV and DS8000 volume driver

2.2.12. LVM

The default volume back-end uses local volumes managed by LVM.
This driver supports different transport protocols to attach volumes, currently iSCSI and iSER.
Note
The Block Storage iSCSI LVM driver has significant performance issues. In production environments, with high I/O activity, there are many potential issues which could affect performance or data integrity.
Red Hat strongly recommends using a certified Block Storage plug-in provider for storage in a production environment. The software iSCSI LVM driver should be used and is only supported for single node evaluations and proof of concept environments.
Set the following in your cinder.conf configuration file, and use the following options to configure for iSCSI transport:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    volume_driver = cinder.volume.drivers.lvm.LVMVolumeDriver

lvm_mirrors = 0 (IntOpt) If >0, create LVs with multiple mirrors. Note that this requires lvm_mirrors + 2 PVs with available space
lvm_type = default (StrOpt) Type of LVM volumes to deploy
volume_group = cinder-volumes (StrOpt) Name for the VG that will contain exported volumes

2.2.13. NetApp unified driver

The NetApp unified driver is a block storage driver that supports multiple storage families and protocols. A storage family corresponds to storage systems built on different NetApp technologies such as clustered Data ONTAP, Data ONTAP operating in 7-Mode, and E-Series. The storage protocol refers to the protocol used to initiate data storage and access operations on those storage systems like iSCSI and NFS. The NetApp unified driver can be configured to provision and manage OpenStack volumes on a given storage family using a specified storage protocol. The OpenStack volumes can then be used for accessing and storing data using the storage protocol on the storage family system. The NetApp unified driver is an extensible interface that can support new storage families and protocols.
Note
With the Juno release of OpenStack, OpenStack Block Storage has introduced the concept of "storage pools", in which a single OpenStack Block Storage back end may present one or more logical storage resource pools from which OpenStack Block Storage will select as a storage location when provisioning volumes.
In releases prior to Juno, the NetApp unified driver contained some "scheduling" logic that determined which NetApp storage container (namely, a FlexVol volume for Data ONTAP, or a dynamic disk pool for E-Series) that a new OpenStack Block Storage volume would be placed into.
With the introduction of pools, all scheduling logic is performed completely within the OpenStack Block Storage scheduler, as each NetApp storage container is directly exposed to the OpenStack Block Storage scheduler as a storage pool; whereas previously, the NetApp unified driver presented an aggregated view to the scheduler and made a final placement decision as to which NetApp storage container the OpenStack Block Storage volume would be provisioned into.
2.2.13.1. NetApp clustered Data ONTAP storage family
The NetApp clustered Data ONTAP storage family represents a configuration group which provides OpenStack compute instances access to clustered Data ONTAP storage systems. At present it can be configured in OpenStack Block Storage to work with iSCSI and NFS storage protocols.
2.2.13.1.1. NetApp iSCSI configuration for clustered Data ONTAP
The NetApp iSCSI configuration for clustered Data ONTAP is an interface from OpenStack to clustered Data ONTAP storage systems for provisioning and managing the SAN block storage entity; that is, a NetApp LUN which can be accessed using the iSCSI protocol.
The iSCSI configuration for clustered Data ONTAP is a direct interface from OpenStack Block Storage to the clustered Data ONTAP instance and as such does not require additional management software to achieve the desired functionality. It uses NetApp APIs to interact with the clustered Data ONTAP instance.
Configuration options for clustered Data ONTAP family with iSCSI protocol
Configure the volume driver, storage family and storage protocol to the NetApp unified driver, clustered Data ONTAP, and iSCSI respectively by setting the volume_driver, netapp_storage_family and netapp_storage_protocol options in cinder.conf as follows:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
volume_driver = cinder.volume.drivers.netapp.common.NetAppDriver
netapp_storage_family = ontap_cluster
netapp_storage_protocol = iscsi
netapp_vserver = openstack-vserver
netapp_server_hostname = myhostname
netapp_server_port = port
netapp_login = username
netapp_password = password
Note
To use the iSCSI protocol, you must override the default value of netapp_storage_protocol with iscsi.
Table 2.13. Description of NetApp cDOT iSCSI driver configuration options
Configuration option = Default value Description
[DEFAULT]
netapp_login = None (StrOpt) Administrative user account name used to access the storage system or proxy server.
netapp_partner_backend_name = None (StrOpt) The name of the config.conf stanza for a Data ONTAP (7-mode) HA partner. This option is only used by the driver when connecting to an instance with a storage family of Data ONTAP operating in 7-Mode, and it is required if the storage protocol selected is FC.
netapp_password = None (StrOpt) Password for the administrative user account specified in the netapp_login option.
netapp_server_hostname = None (StrOpt) The hostname (or IP address) for the storage system or proxy server.
netapp_server_port = None (IntOpt) The TCP port to use for communication with the storage system or proxy server. If not specified, Data ONTAP drivers will use 80 for HTTP and 443 for HTTPS; E-Series will use 8080 for HTTP and 8443 for HTTPS.
netapp_size_multiplier = 1.2 (FloatOpt) The quantity to be multiplied by the requested volume size to ensure enough space is available on the virtual storage server (Vserver) to fulfill the volume creation request.
netapp_storage_family = ontap_cluster (StrOpt) The storage family type used on the storage system; valid values are ontap_7mode for using Data ONTAP operating in 7-Mode, ontap_cluster for using clustered Data ONTAP, or eseries for using E-Series.
netapp_storage_protocol = None (StrOpt) The storage protocol to be used on the data path with the storage system.
netapp_transport_type = http (StrOpt) The transport protocol used when communicating with the storage system or proxy server.
netapp_vserver = None (StrOpt) This option specifies the virtual storage server (Vserver) name on the storage cluster on which provisioning of block storage volumes should occur.
Note
If you specify an account in the netapp_login that only has virtual storage server (Vserver) administration privileges (rather than cluster-wide administration privileges), some advanced features of the NetApp unified driver will not work and you may see warnings in the OpenStack Block Storage logs.
Tip
For more information on these options and other deployment and operational scenarios, visit the NetApp OpenStack Deployment and Operations Guide.
2.2.13.1.2. NetApp NFS configuration for clustered Data ONTAP
The NetApp NFS configuration for clustered Data ONTAP is an interface from OpenStack to a clustered Data ONTAP system for provisioning and managing OpenStack volumes on NFS exports provided by the clustered Data ONTAP system that are accessed using the NFS protocol.
The NFS configuration for clustered Data ONTAP is a direct interface from OpenStack Block Storage to the clustered Data ONTAP instance and as such does not require any additional management software to achieve the desired functionality. It uses NetApp APIs to interact with the clustered Data ONTAP instance.
Configuration options for the clustered Data ONTAP family with NFS protocol
Configure the volume driver, storage family, and storage protocol to NetApp unified driver, clustered Data ONTAP, and NFS respectively by setting the volume_driver, netapp_storage_family and netapp_storage_protocol options in cinder.conf as follows:

netapp_login = None (StrOpt) Administrative user account name used to access the storage system or proxy server.
netapp_partner_backend_name = None (StrOpt) The name of the config.conf stanza for a Data ONTAP (7-mode) HA partner. This option is only used by the driver when connecting to an instance with a storage family of Data ONTAP operating in 7-Mode, and it is required if the storage protocol selected is FC.
netapp_password = None (StrOpt) Password for the administrative user account specified in the netapp_login option.
netapp_server_hostname = None (StrOpt) The hostname (or IP address) for the storage system or proxy server.
netapp_server_port = None (IntOpt) The TCP port to use for communication with the storage system or proxy server. If not specified, Data ONTAP drivers will use 80 for HTTP and 443 for HTTPS; E-Series will use 8080 for HTTP and 8443 for HTTPS.
netapp_storage_family = ontap_cluster (StrOpt) The storage family type used on the storage system; valid values are ontap_7mode for using Data ONTAP operating in 7-Mode, ontap_cluster for using clustered Data ONTAP, or eseries for using E-Series.
netapp_storage_protocol = None (StrOpt) The storage protocol to be used on the data path with the storage system.
netapp_transport_type = http (StrOpt) The transport protocol used when communicating with the storage system or proxy server.
netapp_vserver = None (StrOpt) This option specifies the virtual storage server (Vserver) name on the storage cluster on which provisioning of block storage volumes should occur.
thres_avl_size_perc_start = 20 (IntOpt) If the percentage of available space for an NFS share has dropped below the value specified by this option, the NFS image cache will be cleaned.
thres_avl_size_perc_stop = 60 (IntOpt) When the percentage of available space on an NFS share has reached the percentage specified by this option, the driver will stop clearing files from the NFS image cache that have not been accessed in the last M minutes, where M is the value of the expiry_thres_minutes configuration option.
Note
Additional NetApp NFS configuration options are shared with the generic NFS driver. These options can be found here: Table 2.19, “Description of NFS storage configuration options”.
Note
If you specify an account in the netapp_login that only has virtual storage server (Vserver) administration privileges (rather than cluster-wide administration privileges), some advanced features of the NetApp unified driver will not work and you may see warnings in the OpenStack Block Storage logs.
NetApp NFS Copy Offload client
A feature was added in the Icehouse release of the NetApp unified driver that enables Image Service images to be efficiently copied to a destination Block Storage volume. When the Block Storage and Image Service are configured to use the NetApp NFS Copy Offload client, a controller-side copy will be attempted before reverting to downloading the image from the Image Service. This improves image provisioning times while reducing the consumption of bandwidth and CPU cycles on the host(s) running the Image and Block Storage services. This is due to the copy operation being performed completely within the storage cluster.
The NetApp NFS Copy Offload client can be used in either of the following scenarios:
  • The Image Service is configured to store images in an NFS share that is exported from a NetApp FlexVol volume and the destination for the new Block Storage volume will be on an NFS share exported from a different FlexVol volume than the one used by the Image Service. Both FlexVols must be located within the same cluster.
  • The source image from the Image Service has already been cached in an NFS image cache within a Block Storage backend. The cached image resides on a different FlexVol volume than the destination for the new Block Storage volume. Both FlexVols must be located within the same cluster.
To use this feature, you must configure the Image Service, as follows:
  • Set the default_store configuration option to file.
  • Set the filesystem_store_datadir configuration option to the path to the Image Service NFS export.
  • Set the show_image_direct_url configuration option to True.
  • Set the show_multiple_locations configuration option to True.
    Important
    If configured without the proper policy settings, a non-admin user of the Image Service can replace active image data (that is, switch out a current image without other users knowing). See the OSSN announcement (recommended actions) for configuration information: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/OSSN/OSSN-0065
  • Set the filesystem_store_metadata_file configuration option to a metadata file. The metadata file should contain a JSON object that contains the correct information about the NFS export used by the Image Service, similar to:
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    {
        "share_location": "nfs://192.168.0.1/myGlanceExport",
        "mount_point": "/var/lib/glance/images",
        "type": "nfs"
    }
To use this feature, you must configure the Block Storage service, as follows:
  • Set the netapp_copyoffload_tool_path configuration option to the path to the NetApp Copy Offload binary.
  • Set the glance_api_version configuration option to 2.
Important
This feature requires that:
  • The storage system must have Data ONTAP v8.2 or greater installed.
  • The vStorage feature must be enabled on each storage virtual machine (SVM, also known as a Vserver) that is permitted to interact with the copy offload client.
  • To configure the copy offload workflow, enable NFS v4.0 or greater and export it from the SVM.
Tip
To download the NetApp copy offload binary to be utilized in conjunction with the netapp_copyoffload_tool_path configuration option, please visit the Utility Toolchest page at the NetApp Support portal (login is required).

2.2.13.1.3. NetApp-supported extra specs for clustered Data ONTAP
Extra specs enable vendors to specify extra filter criteria that the Block Storage scheduler uses when it determines which volume node should fulfill a volume provisioning request. When you use the NetApp unified driver with a clustered Data ONTAP storage system, you can leverage extra specs with OpenStack Block Storage volume types to ensure that OpenStack Block Storage volumes are created on storage back ends that have certain properties. For example, when you configure QoS, mirroring, or compression for a storage back end.
Extra specs are associated with OpenStack Block Storage volume types, so that when users request volumes of a particular volume type, the volumes are created on storage back ends that meet the list of requirements. For example, the back ends have the available space or extra specs. You can use the specs in the following table when you define OpenStack Block Storage volume types by using the cinder type-key command.
Table 2.15. Description of extra specs options for NetApp Unified Driver with Clustered Data ONTAP
Extra spec Type Description
netapp_raid_type String Limit the candidate volume list based on one of the following raid types: raid4, raid_dp.
netapp_disk_type String Limit the candidate volume list based on one of the following disk types: ATA, BSAS, EATA, FCAL, FSAS, LUN, MSATA, SAS, SATA, SCSI, XATA, XSAS, or SSD.
netapp:qos_policy_group[a] String Specify the name of a QoS policy group, which defines measurable Service Level Objectives, that should be applied to the OpenStack Block Storage volume at the time of volume creation. Ensure that the QoS policy group object within Data ONTAP should be defined before an OpenStack Block Storage volume is created, and that the QoS policy group is not associated with the destination FlexVol volume.
netapp_mirrored Boolean Limit the candidate volume list to only the ones that are mirrored on the storage controller.
netapp_unmirrored[b] Boolean Limit the candidate volume list to only the ones that are not mirrored on the storage controller.
netapp_dedup Boolean Limit the candidate volume list to only the ones that have deduplication enabled on the storage controller.
netapp_nodedup[b] Boolean Limit the candidate volume list to only the ones that have deduplication disabled on the storage controller.
netapp_compression Boolean Limit the candidate volume list to only the ones that have compression enabled on the storage controller.
netapp_nocompression[b] Boolean Limit the candidate volume list to only the ones that have compression disabled on the storage controller.
netapp_thin_provisioned Boolean Limit the candidate volume list to only the ones that support thin provisioning on the storage controller.
netapp_thick_provisioned[b] Boolean Limit the candidate volume list to only the ones that support thick provisioning on the storage controller.
[a] Please note that this extra spec has a colon (:) in its name because it is used by the driver to assign the QoS policy group to the OpenStack Block Storage volume after it has been provisioned.
[b] In the Juno release, these negative-assertion extra specs are formally deprecated by the NetApp unified driver. Instead of using the deprecated negative-assertion extra specs (for example, netapp_unmirrored) with a value of true, use the corresponding positive-assertion extra spec (for example, netapp_mirrored) with a value of false.

2.2.14. NFS driver

The Network File System (NFS) is a distributed file system protocol originally developed by Sun Microsystems in 1984. An NFS server exports one or more of its file systems, known as shares. An NFS client can mount these exported shares on its own file system. You can perform file actions on this mounted remote file system as if the file system were local.
2.2.14.1. How the NFS driver works
The NFS driver, and other drivers based on it, work quite differently than a traditional block storage driver.
The NFS driver does not actually allow an instance to access a storage device at the block level. Instead, files are created on an NFS share and mapped to instances, which emulates a block device. This works in a similar way to QEMU, which stores instances in the /var/lib/nova/instances directory.
2.2.14.2. Enable the NFS driver and related options
To use Cinder with the NFS driver, first set the volume_driver in cinder.conf:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
volume_driver=cinder.volume.drivers.nfs.NfsDriver
The following table contains the options supported by the NFS driver.
Table 2.19. Description of NFS storage configuration options
Configuration option = Default value Description
[DEFAULT]
nfs_mount_attempts = 3 (IntOpt) The number of attempts to mount nfs shares before raising an error. At least one attempt will be made to mount an nfs share, regardless of the value specified.
nfs_mount_options = None (StrOpt) Mount options passed to the nfs client. See section of the nfs man page for details.
nfs_mount_point_base = $state_path/mnt (StrOpt) Base dir containing mount points for nfs shares.
nfs_oversub_ratio = 1.0 (FloatOpt) This will compare the allocated to available space on the volume destination. If the ratio exceeds this number, the destination will no longer be valid.
nfs_shares_config = /etc/cinder/nfs_shares (StrOpt) File with the list of available nfs shares
nfs_sparsed_volumes = True (BoolOpt) Create volumes as sparsed files which take no space.If set to False volume is created as regular file.In such case volume creation takes a lot of time.
nfs_used_ratio = 0.95 (FloatOpt) Percent of ACTUAL usage of the underlying volume before no new volumes can be allocated to the volume destination.
Note
As of the Icehouse release, the NFS driver (and other drivers based off it) will attempt to mount shares using version 4.1 of the NFS protocol (including pNFS). If the mount attempt is unsuccessful due to a lack of client or server support, a subsequent mount attempt that requests the default behavior of the mount.nfs command will be performed. On most distributions, the default behavior is to attempt mounting first with NFS v4.0, then silently fall back to NFS v3.0 if necessary. If the nfs_mount_options configuration option contains a request for a specific version of NFS to be used, or if specific options are specified in the shares configuration file specified by the nfs_shares_config configuration option, the mount will be attempted as requested with no subsequent attempts.
2.2.14.3. How to use the NFS driver
  1. Access to one or more NFS servers. Creating an NFS server is outside the scope of this document. This example assumes access to the following NFS servers and mount points:
    • 192.168.1.200:/storage
    • 192.168.1.201:/storage
    • 192.168.1.202:/storage
    This example demonstrates the use of with this driver with multiple NFS servers. Multiple servers are not required. One is usually enough.
  2. Add your list of NFS servers to the file you specified with the nfs_shares_config option. For example, if the value of this option was set to /etc/cinder/shares.txt, then:
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    # cat /etc/cinder/shares.txt
    192.168.1.200:/storage
    192.168.1.201:/storage
    192.168.1.202:/storage
    Comments are allowed in this file. They begin with a #.
  3. Configure the nfs_mount_point_base option. This is a directory where cinder-volume mounts all NFS shares stored in shares.txt. For this example, /var/lib/cinder/nfs is used. You can, of course, use the default value of $state_path/mnt.
  4. Start the cinder-volume service. /var/lib/cinder/nfs should now contain a directory for each NFS share specified in shares.txt. The name of each directory is a hashed name:
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    # ls /var/lib/cinder/nfs/
    ...
    46c5db75dc3a3a50a10bfd1a456a9f3f

  5. You can now create volumes as you normally would:
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    $ nova volume-create --display-name myvol 5
    # ls /var/lib/cinder/nfs/46c5db75dc3a3a50a10bfd1a456a9f3f
    volume-a8862558-e6d6-4648-b5df-bb84f31c8935
    This volume can also be attached and deleted just like other volumes. However, snapshotting is not supported.
NFS driver notes
  • cinder-volume manages the mounting of the NFS shares as well as volume creation on the shares. Keep this in mind when planning your OpenStack architecture. If you have one master NFS server, it might make sense to only have one cinder-volume service to handle all requests to that NFS server. However, if that single server is unable to handle all requests, more than one cinder-volume service is needed as well as potentially more than one NFS server.
  • Because data is stored in a file and not actually on a block storage device, you might not see the same IO performance as you would with a traditional block storage driver. Please test accordingly.
  • Despite possible IO performance loss, having volume data stored in a file might be beneficial. For example, backing up volumes can be as easy as copying the volume files.
    Note
    Regular IO flushing and syncing still stands.

2.2.15. SolidFire

The SolidFire Cluster is a high performance all SSD iSCSI storage device that provides massive scale out capability and extreme fault tolerance. A key feature of the SolidFire cluster is the ability to set and modify during operation specific QoS levels on a volume for volume basis. The SolidFire cluster offers this along with de-duplication, compression, and an architecture that takes full advantage of SSDs.
To configure the use of a SolidFire cluster with Block Storage, modify your cinder.conf file as follows:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
volume_driver = cinder.volume.drivers.solidfire.SolidFireDriver
san_ip = 172.17.1.182         # the address of your MVIP
san_login = sfadmin           # your cluster admin login
san_password = sfpassword     # your cluster admin password
sf_account_prefix = ''        # prefix for tenant account creation on solidfire cluster (see warning below)
Warning
The SolidFire driver creates a unique account prefixed with $cinder-volume-service-hostname-$tenant-id on the SolidFire cluster for each tenant that accesses the cluster through the Volume API. Unfortunately, this account formation results in issues for High Availability (HA) installations and installations where the cinder-volume service can move to a new node. HA installations can return an Account Not Found error because the call to the SolidFire cluster is not always going to be sent from the same node. In installations where the cinder-volume service moves to a new node, the same issue can occur when you perform operations on existing volumes, such as clone, extend, delete, and so on.
Note
Set the sf_account_prefix option to an empty string ('') in the cinder.conf file. This setting results in unique accounts being created on the SolidFire cluster, but the accounts are prefixed with the tenant-id or any unique identifier that you choose and are independent of the host where the cinder-volume service resides.
Table 2.20. Description of SolidFire driver configuration options
Configuration option = Default value Description
[DEFAULT]
sf_account_prefix = None (StrOpt) Create SolidFire accounts with this prefix. Any string can be used here, but the string "hostname" is special and will create a prefix using the cinder node hostsname (previous default behavior). The default is NO prefix.
sf_allow_template_caching = True (BoolOpt) Create an internal cache of copy of images when a bootable volume is created to eliminate fetch from glance and qemu-conversion on subsequent calls.
sf_allow_tenant_qos = False (BoolOpt) Allow tenants to specify QOS on create
sf_api_port = 443 (IntOpt) SolidFire API port. Useful if the device api is behind a proxy on a different port.
sf_emulate_512 = True (BoolOpt) Set 512 byte emulation on volume creation;
sf_template_account_name = openstack-vtemplate (StrOpt) Account name on the SolidFire Cluster to use as owner of template/cache volumes (created if does not exist).


[1] The configuration file location may differ.
[2] There is no relative precedence or weight among these four labels.
[3] Do not confuse differentiated services with the OpenStack Block Storage volume services.
[4] It is okay to manage multiple HUS arrays by using multiple OpenStack Block Storage instances (or servers).
[5] The configuration file location may differ.
[6] Each of these four labels has no relative precedence or weight.
[7] The get_volume_stats() always provides the available capacity based on the combined sum of all the HDPs that are used in these services labels.

2.3. Backup drivers

This section describes how to configure the cinder-backup service and its drivers.
To set a backup driver, use the backup_driver flag. By default there is no backup driver enabled.

2.3.1. Ceph backup driver

The Ceph backup driver backs up volumes of any type to a Ceph back-end store. The driver can also detect whether the volume to be backed up is a Ceph RBD volume, and if so, it tries to perform incremental and differential backups.
For source Ceph RBD volumes, you can perform backups within the same Ceph pool (not recommended). You can also perform backups between different Ceph pools and between different Ceph clusters.
At the time of writing, differential backup support in Ceph/librbd was quite new. This driver attempts a differential backup in the first instance. If the differential backup fails, the driver falls back to full backup/copy.
If incremental backups are used, multiple backups of the same volume are stored as snapshots so that minimal space is consumed in the backup store. It takes far less time to restore a volume than to take a full copy.
Note
Block Storage enables you to:
  • Restore to a new volume, which is the default and recommended action.
  • Restore to the original volume from which the backup was taken. The restore action takes a full copy because this is the safest action.
To enable the Ceph backup driver, include the following option in the cinder.conf file:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
backup_driver = cinder.backup.drivers.ceph
The following configuration options are available for the Ceph backup driver.
Table 2.21. Description of Ceph backup driver configuration options
Configuration option = Default value Description
[DEFAULT]
backup_ceph_chunk_size = 134217728 (IntOpt) The chunk size, in bytes, that a backup is broken into before transfer to the Ceph object store.
backup_ceph_conf = /etc/ceph/ceph.conf (StrOpt) Ceph configuration file to use.
backup_ceph_pool = backups (StrOpt) The Ceph pool where volume backups are stored.
backup_ceph_stripe_count = 0 (IntOpt) RBD stripe count to use when creating a backup image.
backup_ceph_stripe_unit = 0 (IntOpt) RBD stripe unit to use when creating a backup image.
backup_ceph_user = cinder (StrOpt) The Ceph user to connect with. Default here is to use the same user as for Cinder volumes. If not using cephx this should be set to None.
restore_discard_excess_bytes = True (BoolOpt) If True, always discard excess bytes when restoring volumes i.e. pad with zeroes.
This example shows the default options for the Ceph backup driver.
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
backup_ceph_conf=/etc/ceph/ceph.conf
backup_ceph_user = cinder
backup_ceph_chunk_size = 134217728
backup_ceph_pool = backups
backup_ceph_stripe_unit = 0
backup_ceph_stripe_count = 0

2.3.2. IBM Tivoli Storage Manager backup driver

The IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) backup driver enables performing volume backups to a TSM server.
The TSM client should be installed and configured on the machine running the cinder-backup service. See the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Backup-Archive Client Installation and User's Guide for details on installing the TSM client.
To enable the IBM TSM backup driver, include the following option in cinder.conf:

2.6. Fibre Channel Zone Manager

The Fibre Channel Zone Manager allows FC SAN Zone/Access control management in conjunction with Fibre Channel block storage. The configuration of Fibre Channel Zone Manager and various zone drivers are described in this section.

2.6.1. Configure Block Storage to use Fibre Channel Zone Manager

If Block Storage is configured to use a Fibre Channel volume driver that supports Zone Manager, update cinder.conf to add the following configuration options to enable Fibre Channel Zone Manager.
Make the following changes in the /etc/cinder/cinder.conf file.
Table 2.26. Description of zoning configuration options
Configuration option = Default value Description
[DEFAULT]
zoning_mode = none (StrOpt) FC Zoning mode configured
[fc-zone-manager]
fc_fabric_names = None (StrOpt) Comma separated list of Fibre Channel fabric names. This list of names is used to retrieve other SAN credentials for connecting to each SAN fabric
fc_san_lookup_service = cinder.zonemanager.drivers.brocade.brcd_fc_san_lookup_service.BrcdFCSanLookupService (StrOpt) FC SAN Lookup Service
zone_driver = cinder.zonemanager.drivers.brocade.brcd_fc_zone_driver.BrcdFCZoneDriver (StrOpt) FC Zone Driver responsible for zone management
zoning_policy = initiator-target (StrOpt) Zoning policy configured by user; valid values include "initiator-target" or "initiator"
To use different Fibre Channel Zone Drivers, use the parameters described in this section.
Note
When multi backend configuration is used, provide the zoning_mode configuration option as part of the volume driver configuration where volume_driver option is specified.
Note
Default value of zoning_mode is None and this needs to be changed to fabric to allow fabric zoning.
Note
zoning_policy can be configured as initiator-target or initiator

2.6.2. Brocade Fibre Channel Zone Driver

Brocade Fibre Channel Zone Driver performs zoning operations through SSH. Configure Brocade Zone Driver and lookup service by specifying the following parameters:
Table 2.27. Description of zoning manager configuration options
Configuration option = Default value Description
[fc-zone-manager]
brcd_sb_connector = cinder.zonemanager.drivers.brocade.brcd_fc_zone_client_cli.BrcdFCZoneClientCLI (StrOpt) Southbound connector for zoning operation
Configure SAN fabric parameters in the form of fabric groups as described in the example below:
Table 2.28. Description of zoning fabrics configuration options
Configuration option = Default value Description
[BRCD_FABRIC_EXAMPLE]
fc_fabric_address = (StrOpt) Management IP of fabric
fc_fabric_password = (StrOpt) Password for user
fc_fabric_port = 22 (IntOpt) Connecting port
fc_fabric_user = (StrOpt) Fabric user ID
principal_switch_wwn = None (StrOpt) Principal switch WWN of the fabric
zone_activate = True (BoolOpt) overridden zoning activation state
zone_name_prefix = None (StrOpt) overridden zone name prefix
zoning_policy = initiator-target (StrOpt) overridden zoning policy
Note
Define a fabric group for each fabric using the fabric names used in fc_fabric_names configuration option as group name.
2.6.2.1. System requirements
Brocade Fibre Channel Zone Driver requires firmware version FOS v6.4 or higher.
As a best practice for zone management, use a user account with zoneadmin role. Users with admin role (including the default admin user account) are limited to a maximum of two concurrent SSH sessions.
For information about how to manage Brocade Fibre Channel switches, see the Brocade Fabric OS user documentation.

2.6.3. Cisco Fibre Channel Zone Driver

Cisco Fibre Channel Zone Driver automates the zoning operations through SSH. Configure Cisco Zone Driver, Cisco Southbound connector, FC SAN lookup service and Fabric name.
Set the following options in the cinder.conf configuration file.

Chapter 3. Compute

The OpenStack Compute service is a cloud computing fabric controller, which is the main part of an IaaS system. You can use OpenStack Compute to host and manage cloud computing systems. This section describes the OpenStack Compute configuration options.
To configure your Compute installation, you must define configuration options in these files:
  • nova.conf. Contains most of the Compute configuration options. Resides in the /etc/nova/ directory.
  • api-paste.ini. Defines Compute limits. Resides in the /etc/nova/ directory.
  • Related Image service and Identity service management configuration files.

Ephemeral Storage Discrepancy with Ceph

When using Red Hat Ceph as a back end for ephemeral storage, the Compute service does not calculate the amount of available storage correctly. Specifically, Compute simply adds up the amount of available storage without factoring in replication. This results in grossly overstated available storage, which in turn could cause unexpected storage oversubscription.

To determine the correct ephemeral storage capacity, query the Ceph service directly instead. For more information, see BZ#1236473.

3.1. Overview of nova.conf

You can use a particular configuration option file by using the option (nova.conf) parameter when you run one of the nova-* services. This parameter inserts configuration option definitions from the specified configuration file name, which might be useful for debugging or performance tuning.
For a list of configuration options, see the tables in this guide.
To learn more about the nova.conf configuration file, review the general purpose configuration options documented in Table 3.17, “Description of common configuration options”.
Important
Do not specify quotes around Nova options.

Sections

Configuration options are grouped by section. The Compute configuration file supports the following sections:
[DEFAULT]
Contains most configuration options. If the documentation for a configuration option does not specify its section, assume that it appears in this section.
[baremetal]
Configures the baremetal hypervisor driver.
[cells]
Configures cells functionality. For details, see Section 3.13, “Cells”.
[conductor]
Configures the nova-conductor service.
[database]
Configures the database that Compute uses.
[glance]
Configures how to access the Image service.
[image_file_url]
Configures additional filesystems to access the Image Service.
[keymgr]
Configures the key manager.
[keystone_authtoken]
Configures authorization via Identity service.
[libvirt]
Configures the hypervisor drivers using the Libvirt library: KVM, LXC, Qemu, UML, Xen.
[matchmaker_redis]
Configures a Redis server.

[xenserver]
Configures the XenServer hypervisor driver.
[zookeeper]
Configures the ZooKeeper ServiceGroup driver.

3.2. Configure logging

You can use the nova.conf file to configure where Compute logs events, the level of logging, and log formats.
To customize log formats for OpenStack Compute, use the configuration option settings documented in Table 3.35, “Description of logging configuration options”.

3.3. Configure authentication and authorization

There are different methods of authentication for the OpenStack Compute project, including no authentication. The preferred system is the OpenStack Identity service, code-named Keystone.
To customize authorization settings for Compute, use the configuration options documented in Table 3.11, “Description of authentication configuration options”.
To customize certificate authority settings for Compute, use the configuration options documented in Table 3.15, “Description of CA and SSL configuration options”.
To customize Compute and the Identity service to use LDAP as a backend, refer to the configuration options documented in Table 3.32, “Description of LDAP configuration options”.

3.4. Configure resize

Resize (or Server resize) is the ability to change the flavor of a server, thus allowing it to upscale or downscale according to user needs. For this feature to work properly, you might need to configure some underlying virt layers.

3.4.1. KVM

Resize on KVM is implemented currently by transferring the images between compute nodes over ssh. For KVM you need hostnames to resolve properly and passwordless ssh access between your compute hosts. Direct access from one compute host to another is needed to copy the VM file across.

3.5. Database configuration

You can configure OpenStack Compute to use any SQLAlchemy-compatible database. The database name is nova. The nova-conductor service is the only service that writes to the database. The other Compute services access the database through the nova-conductor service.
To ensure that the database schema is current, run the following command:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
# nova-manage db sync
If nova-conductor is not used, entries to the database are mostly written by the nova-scheduler service, although all services must be able to update entries in the database.
In either case, use the configuration option settings documented in Table 3.22, “Description of database configuration options” to configure the connection string for the nova database.

3.6. Configure the Oslo RPC messaging system

OpenStack projects use AMQP, an open standard for messaging middleware. OpenStack services that run on multiple servers to talk to each other. OpenStack Oslo RPC supports two implementations of AMQP: RabbitMQ and Qpid.

3.6.1. Configure RabbitMQ

OpenStack Oslo RPC uses RabbitMQ by default. Use these options to configure the RabbitMQ message system. The rpc_backend option is not required as long as RabbitMQ is the default messaging system. However, if it is included the configuration, you must set it to rabbit.
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
rpc_backend=rabbit
You can use these additional options to configure the RabbitMQ messaging system. You can configure messaging communication for different installation scenarios, tune retries for RabbitMQ, and define the size of the RPC thread pool. To monitor notifications through RabbitMQ, you must set the notification_driver option to nova.openstack.common.notifier.rpc_notifier in the nova.conf file. The default for sending usage data is sixty seconds plus a random number of seconds from zero to sixty.

Use these options to configure the Qpid messaging system for OpenStack Oslo RPC. Qpid is not the default messaging system, so you must enable it by setting the rpc_backend option in the nova.conf file.
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
rpc_backend=qpid
This critical option points the compute nodes to the Qpid broker (server). Set qpid_hostname to the host name where the broker runs in the nova.conf file.
Note
The --qpid_hostname parameter accepts a host name or IP address value.
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
qpid_hostname=hostname.example.com
If the Qpid broker listens on a port other than the AMQP default of 5672, you must set the qpid_port option to that value:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
qpid_port=12345
If you configure the Qpid broker to require authentication, you must add a user name and password to the configuration:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

3.7. Configure the Compute API

The Compute API, run by the nova-api daemon, is the component of OpenStack Compute that receives and responds to user requests, whether they be direct API calls, or via the CLI tools or dashboard.

Configure Compute API password handling

The OpenStack Compute API enables users to specify an administrative password when they create or rebuild a server instance. If the user does not specify a password, a random password is generated and returned in the API response.
In practice, how the admin password is handled depends on the hypervisor in use and might require additional configuration of the instance. For example, you might have to install an agent to handle the password setting. If the hypervisor and instance configuration do not support setting a password at server create time, the password that is returned by the create API call is misleading because it was ignored.
To prevent this confusion, use the enable_instance_password configuration option to disable the return of the admin password for installations that do not support setting instance passwords.

Configure Compute API rate limiting

OpenStack Compute supports API rate limiting for the OpenStack API. The rate limiting allows an administrator to configure limits on the type and number of API calls that can be made in a specific time interval.
When API rate limits are exceeded, HTTP requests return an error with a status code of 403 Forbidden.
Rate limiting is not available for the EC2 API.

Define limits

To define limits, set these values:
  • The HTTP method used in the API call, typically one of GET, PUT, POST, or DELETE.
  • A human readable URI that is used as a friendly description of where the limit is applied.
  • A regular expression. The limit is applied to all URIs that match the regular expression and HTTP method.
  • A limit value that specifies the maximum count of units before the limit takes effect.
  • An interval that specifies time frame to which the limit is applied. The interval can be SECOND, MINUTE, HOUR, or DAY.
Rate limits are applied in relative order to the HTTP method, going from least to most specific.

Default limits

Normally, you install OpenStack Compute with the following limits enabled:
Table 3.5. Default API rate limits
HTTP method API URI API regular expression Limit
POST any URI (*) .* 120 per minute
POST /servers ^/servers 120 per minute
PUT any URI (*) .* 120 per minute
GET *changes-since* .*changes-since.* 120 per minute
DELETE any URI (*) .* 120 per minute
GET */os-fping ^/os-fping 12 per minute

Configure and change limits

As part of the WSGI pipeline, the /etc/nova/api-paste.ini file defines the actual limits.
To enable limits, include the ratelimit filter in the API pipeline specification. If the ratelimit filter is removed from the pipeline, limiting is disabled. You must also define the rate limit filter. The lines appear as follows:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
[pipeline:openstack_compute_api_v2]

To modify the limits, add a limits specification to the [filter:ratelimit] section of the file. Specify the limits in this order:
  1. HTTP method
  2. friendly URI
  3. regex
  4. limit
  5. interval
The following example shows the default rate-limiting values:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
[filter:ratelimit]
paste.filter_factory = nova.api.openstack.compute.limits:RateLimitingMiddleware.factory
limits =(POST, "*", .*, 120, MINUTE);(POST, "*/servers", ^/servers, 120, MINUTE);(PUT, "*", .*, 120, MINUTE);(GET, "*changes-since*", .*changes-since.*, 120, MINUTE);(DELETE, "*", .*, 120, MINUTE);(GET, "*/os-fping", ^/os-fping, 12, MINUTE)

Configuration reference

The Compute API configuration options are documented in Table 3.9, “Description of API configuration options”.

3.8. Configure the EC2 API

You can set options in the nova.conf configuration file to control which network address and port the EC2 API listens on, the formatting of some API responses, and authentication related options.
To customize these options for OpenStack EC2 API, use the configuration option settings documented in Table 3.24, “Description of EC2 configuration options”.

3.9. Fibre Channel support in Compute

Fibre Channel support in OpenStack Compute is remote block storage attached to compute nodes for VMs.
In the Grizzly release, Fibre Channel supported only the KVM hypervisor.
Compute and Block Storage support Fibre Channel automatic zoning on Brocade and Cisco switches. On other hardware Fibre Channel arrays must be pre-zoned or directly attached to the KVM hosts.

3.9.1. KVM host requirements

You must install these packages on the KVM host:
  • sysfsutils - Nova uses the systool application in this package.
  • sg3-utils or sg3_utils - Nova uses the sg_scan and sginfo applications.
Installing the multipath-tools package is optional.

3.9.2. Install required packages

Use this command to install the system packages:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
# yum install sysfsutils sg3_utils multipath-tools

3.10. iSCSI interface and offload support in Compute

Note
iSCSI interface and offload support is only present since Kilo.
Compute supports open-iscsi iSCSI interfaces for offload cards. Offload hardware must be present and configured on every compute node where offload is desired. Once an open-iscsi interface is configured, the iface name (iface.iscsi_ifacename) should be passed to libvirt via the iscsi_iface parameter for use. All iscsi sessions will be bound to this iSCSI interface.
Currently supported transports (iface.transport_name) are be2iscsi, bnx2i, cxgb3i, cxgb4i, qla4xxx, ocs . No configuration changes are needed outside of Compute node.
iSER is currently supported via the separate iSER LibvirtISERVolumeDriver and will be rejected if used via the iscsi_iface parameter.

3.10.1. iSCSI iface configuration

  • Note the distinction between the transport name (iface.transport_name) and iface name (iface.iscsi_ifacename). The actual iface name must be specified via the iscsi_iface parameter to libvirt for offload to work.
  • The default name for an iscsi iface (open-iscsi parameter iface.iscsi_ifacename) is in the format transport_name.hwaddress when generated by iscsiadm.
  • iscsiadm can be used to view and generate current iface configuration. Every network interface that supports an open-iscsi transport can have one or more iscsi ifaces associated with it. If no ifaces have been configured for a network interface supported by an open-iscsi transport, this command will create a default iface configuration for that network interface. For example : Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    # iscsiadm -m iface
       default tcp,<empty>,<empty>,<empty>,<empty>
       iser iser,<empty>,<empty>,<empty>,<empty>
       bnx2i.00:05:b5:d2:a0:c2 bnx2i,00:05:b5:d2:a0:c2,5.10.10.20,<empty>,<empty>
       cxgb4i.00:07:43:28:b2:58 cxgb4i,00:07:43:28:b2:58,102.50.50.80,<empty>,<empty>
       qla4xxx.00:c0:dd:08:63:ea qla4xxx,00:c0:dd:08:63:ea,20.15.0.9,<empty>,<empty>
    
    The output is in the format : iface_name transport_name,hwaddress,ipaddress,net_ifacename,initiatorname.
  • Individual iface configuration can be viewed via Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    # iscsiadm -m iface -I IFACE_NAME
       # BEGIN RECORD 2.0-873
       iface.iscsi_ifacename = cxgb4i.00:07:43:28:b2:58
       iface.net_ifacename = <empty>
       iface.ipaddress = 102.50.50.80
       iface.hwaddress = 00:07:43:28:b2:58
       iface.transport_name = cxgb4i
       iface.initiatorname = <empty>
       # END RECORD
    
    Configuration can be updated as desired via Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    # iscsiadm -m iface-I IFACE_NAME--op=update -n iface.SETTING -v VALUE
  • All iface configurations need a minimum of iface.iface_name, iface.transport_name and iface.hwaddress to be correctly configured to work. Some transports may require iface.ipaddress and iface.net_ifacename as well to bind correctly.
    Detailed configuration instructions can be found in the Linux* Open-iSCSI README file .

3.11. Hypervisors

Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform is only supported for use with the libvirt driver (using KVM as the hypervisor on Compute nodes).
With this release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform, Ironic is now fully supported. Ironic allows you to provision bare-metal machines using common technologies (such as PXE boot and IPMI) to cover a wide range of hardware while supporting pluggable drivers to allow the addition of vendor-specific functionality.
Red Hat does not provide support for other Compute virtualization drivers such as the deprecated VMware "direct-to-ESX" hypervisor, and non-KVM libvirt hypervisors.

3.11.1. Hypervisor configuration basics

The node where the nova-compute service is installed and operates on the same node that runs all of the virtual machines. This is referred to as the compute node in this guide.
By default, the selected hypervisor is KVM. To change to another hypervisor, change the virt_type option in the [libvirt] section of nova.conf and restart the nova-compute service.
Here are the general nova.conf options that are used to configure the compute node's hypervisor: Table 3.28, “Description of hypervisor configuration options”.
Specific options for particular hypervisors can be found in the following sections.

3.11.2. KVM

KVM is configured as the default hypervisor for Compute.
Note
This document contains several sections about hypervisor selection. If you are reading this document linearly, you do not want to load the KVM module before you install nova-compute. The nova-compute service depends on qemu-kvm, which installs /lib/udev/rules.d/45-qemu-kvm.rules, which sets the correct permissions on the /dev/kvm device node.
To enable KVM explicitly, add the following configuration options to the /etc/nova/nova.conf file:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
compute_driver = libvirt.LibvirtDriver

[libvirt]
virt_type = kvm
The KVM hypervisor supports the following virtual machine image formats:
  • Raw
  • QEMU Copy-on-write (qcow2)
  • QED Qemu Enhanced Disk
  • VMware virtual machine disk format (vmdk)
This section describes how to enable KVM on your system. For more information, see Installing virtualization packages on an existing Red Hat Enterprise Linux system from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Virtualization Host Configuration and Guest Installation Guide.
3.11.2.1. Enable KVM
The following sections outline how to enable KVM based hardware virtualisation on different architectures and platforms. To perform these steps, you must be logged in as the root user.
3.11.2.1.1. For x86 based systems
  1. To determine whether the svm or vmx CPU extensions are present, run this command:
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    # grep -E 'svm|vmx' /proc/cpuinfo
    This command generates output if the CPU is capable of hardware virtualization. Even if output is shown, you might still need to enable virtualization in the system BIOS for full support.
    If no output appears, consult your system documentation to ensure that your CPU and motherboard support hardware virtualization. Verify that any relevant hardware virtualization options are enabled in the system BIOS.
    The BIOS for each manufacturer is different. If you must enable virtualization in the BIOS, look for an option containing the words virtualization, VT, VMX, or SVM.
  2. To list the loaded kernel modules and verify that the kvm modules are loaded, run this command:
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    # lsmod | grep kvm
    If the output includes kvm_intel or kvm_amd, the kvm hardware virtualization modules are loaded and your kernel meets the module requirements for OpenStack Compute.
    If the output does not show that the kvm module is loaded, run this command to load it:
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    # modprobe -a kvm
    Run the command for your CPU. For Intel, run this command:
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    # modprobe -a kvm-intel
    For AMD, run this command:
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    # modprobe -a kvm-amd
    Because a KVM installation can change user group membership, you might need to log in again for changes to take effect.
    If the kernel modules do not load automatically, use the procedures listed in these subsections.
If the checks indicate that required hardware virtualization support or kernel modules are disabled or unavailable, you must either enable this support on the system or find a system with this support.
Note
Some systems require that you enable VT support in the system BIOS. If you believe your processor supports hardware acceleration but the previous command did not produce output, reboot your machine, enter the system BIOS, and enable the VT option.
If KVM acceleration is not supported, configure Compute to use a different hypervisor, such as QEMU or Xen.
These procedures help you load the kernel modules for Intel-based and AMD-based processors if they do not load automatically during KVM installation.
3.11.2.1.1.1. Intel-based processors
If your compute host is Intel-based, run these commands as root to load the kernel modules:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
# modprobe kvm
# modprobe kvm-intel
See Persistent Module Loading in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, or Persistent Module Loading in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 respectively, for instructions on how to load the kvm and kvm-amd modules automatically.
3.11.2.1.1.2. AMD-based processors
If your compute host is AMD-based, run these commands as root to load the kernel modules:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
# modprobe kvm
# modprobe kvm-amd
See Persistent Module Loading in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, or Persistent Module Loading in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 respectively, for instructions on how to load the kvm and kvm-intel modules automatically.
3.11.2.1.2. For POWER based systems
KVM as a hypervisor is supported on POWER system's PowerNV platform.
  1. To determine if your POWER platform supports KVM based virtualization run the following command:
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    # grep PowerNV /proc/cpuinfo
    If the previous command generates the following output, then CPU supports KVM based virtualization
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    platform: PowerNV
    If no output is displayed, then your POWER platform does not support KVM based hardware virtualization.
  2. To list the loaded kernel modules and verify that the kvm modules are loaded, run the following command:
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    # lsmod | grep kvm
    If the output includes kvm_hv, the kvm hardware virtualization modules are loaded and your kernel meets the module requirements for OpenStack Compute.
    If the output does not show that the kvm module is loaded, run the following command to load it:
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    # modprobe -a kvm
    For PowerNV platform, run the following command:
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    # modprobe -a kvm-hv
    Because a KVM installation can change user group membership, you might need to log in again for changes to take effect.
3.11.2.2. Specify the CPU model of KVM guests
The Compute service enables you to control the guest CPU model that is exposed to KVM virtual machines. Use cases include:
  • To maximize performance of virtual machines by exposing new host CPU features to the guest
  • To ensure a consistent default CPU across all machines, removing reliance of variable QEMU defaults
In libvirt, the CPU is specified by providing a base CPU model name (which is a shorthand for a set of feature flags), a set of additional feature flags, and the topology (sockets/cores/threads). The libvirt KVM driver provides a number of standard CPU model names. These models are defined in the /usr/share/libvirt/cpu_map.xml file. Check this file to determine which models are supported by your local installation.
Two Compute configuration options in the [libvirt] group of nova.conf define which type of CPU model is exposed to the hypervisor when using KVM: cpu_mode and cpu_model.
The cpu_mode option can take one of the following values: none, host-passthrough, host-model, and custom.
Host model (default for KVM & QEMU)
If your nova.conf file contains cpu_mode=host-model, libvirt identifies the CPU model in /usr/share/libvirt/cpu_map.xml file that most closely matches the host, and requests additional CPU flags to complete the match. This configuration provides the maximum functionality and performance and maintains good reliability and compatibility if the guest is migrated to another host with slightly different host CPUs.
Host pass through
If your nova.conf file contains cpu_mode=host-passthrough, libvirt tells KVM to pass through the host CPU with no modifications. The difference to host-model, instead of only matching feature flags, every last detail of the host CPU is matched. This gives the best performance, and can be important to some apps which check low level CPU details, but it comes at a cost with respect to migration. The guest can only be migrated to a matching host CPU.
Custom
If your nova.conf file contains cpu_mode=custom, you can explicitly specify one of the supported named models using the cpu_model configuration option. For example, to configure the KVM guests to expose Nehalem CPUs, your nova.conf file should contain:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
[libvirt]
cpu_mode = custom
cpu_model = Nehalem
None (default for all libvirt-driven hypervisors other than KVM & QEMU)
If your nova.conf file contains cpu_mode=none, libvirt does not specify a CPU model. Instead, the hypervisor chooses the default model.
3.11.2.3. Guest agent support
Use guest agents to enable optional access between compute nodes and guests through a socket, using the QMP protocol.
To enable this feature, you must set hw_qemu_guest_agent=yes as a metadata parameter on the image you want to use to create the guest-agent-capable instances from. You can explicitly disable the feature by setting hw_qemu_guest_agent=no in the image metadata.
3.11.2.4. KVM performance tweaks
The VHostNet kernel module improves network performance. To load the kernel module, run the following command as root:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
# modprobe vhost_net
3.11.2.5. Troubleshoot KVM
Trying to launch a new virtual machine instance fails with the ERRORstate, and the following error appears in the /var/log/nova/nova-compute.log file:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
libvirtError: internal error no supported architecture for os type 'hvm'
This message indicates that the KVM kernel modules were not loaded.
If you cannot start VMs after installation without rebooting, the permissions might not be set correctly. This can happen if you load the KVM module before you install nova-compute. To check whether the group is set to kvm, run:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
# ls -l /dev/kvm
If it is not set to kvm, run:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
# udevadm trigger

3.11.3. QEMU

From the perspective of the Compute service, the QEMU hypervisor is very similar to the KVM hypervisor. Both are controlled through libvirt, both support the same feature set, and all virtual machine images that are compatible with KVM are also compatible with QEMU. The main difference is that QEMU does not support native virtualization. Consequently, QEMU has worse performance than KVM and is a poor choice for a production deployment.
The typical uses cases for QEMU are
  • Running on older hardware that lacks virtualization support.
  • Running the Compute service inside of a virtual machine for development or testing purposes, where the hypervisor does not support native virtualization for guests.
To enable QEMU, add these settings to nova.conf: Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
compute_driver = libvirt.LibvirtDriver

[libvirt]
virt_type = qemu
For some operations you may also have to install the guestmount utility:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
# yum install libguestfs-tools
The QEMU hypervisor supports the following virtual machine image formats:
  • Raw
  • QEMU Copy-on-write (qcow2)
  • VMware virtual machine disk format (vmdk)

3.12. Scheduling

Compute uses the nova-scheduler service to determine how to dispatch compute requests. For example, the nova-scheduler service determines on which host a VM should launch. In the context of filters, the term host means a physical node that has a nova-compute service running on it. You can configure the scheduler through a variety of options.
Compute is configured with the following default scheduler options in the /etc/nova/nova.conf file:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
scheduler_driver_task_period = 60
scheduler_driver = nova.scheduler.filter_scheduler.FilterScheduler
scheduler_available_filters = nova.scheduler.filters.all_filters
scheduler_default_filters = RetryFilter, AvailabilityZoneFilter, RamFilter, ComputeFilter, ComputeCapabilitiesFilter, ImagePropertiesFilter, ServerGroupAntiAffinityFilter, ServerGroupAffinityFilter
By default, the scheduler_driver is configured as a filter scheduler, as described in the next section. In the default configuration, this scheduler considers hosts that meet all the following criteria:
  • Have not been attempted for scheduling purposes (RetryFilter).
  • Are in the requested availability zone (AvailabilityZoneFilter).
  • Have sufficient RAM available (RamFilter).
  • Can service the request (ComputeFilter).
  • Satisfy the extra specs associated with the instance type (ComputeCapabilitiesFilter).
  • Satisfy any architecture, hypervisor type, or virtual machine mode properties specified on the instance's image properties (ImagePropertiesFilter).
  • Are on a different host than other instances of a group (if requested) (ServerGroupAntiAffinityFilter).
  • Are in a set of group hosts (if requested) (ServerGroupAffinityFilter).
The scheduler caches its list of available hosts; use the scheduler_driver_task_period option to specify how often the list is updated.
Note
Do not configure service_down_time to be much smaller than scheduler_driver_task_period; otherwise, hosts appear to be dead while the host list is being cached.
The scheduler chooses a new host when an instance is migrated.
When evacuating instances from a host, the scheduler service honors the target host defined by the administrator on the evacuate command. If a target is not defined by the administrator, the scheduler determines the target host..

3.12.1. Filter scheduler

The filter scheduler (nova.scheduler.filter_scheduler.FilterScheduler) is the default scheduler for scheduling virtual machine instances. It supports filtering and weighting to make informed decisions on where a new instance should be created.

3.12.2. Filters

When the filter scheduler receives a request for a resource, it first applies filters to determine which hosts are eligible for consideration when dispatching a resource. Filters are binary: either a host is accepted by the filter, or it is rejected. Hosts that are accepted by the filter are then processed by a different algorithm to decide which hosts to use for that request, described in the Weights section.
The scheduler_available_filters configuration option in nova.conf provides the Compute service with the list of the filters that are used by the scheduler. The default setting specifies all of the filter that are included with the Compute service:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
scheduler_available_filters = nova.scheduler.filters.all_filters
This configuration option can be specified multiple times. For example, if you implemented your own custom filter in Python called myfilter.MyFilter and you wanted to use both the built-in filters and your custom filter, your nova.conf file would contain:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
scheduler_available_filters = nova.scheduler.filters.all_filters
scheduler_available_filters = myfilter.MyFilter
The scheduler_default_filters configuration option in nova.conf defines the list of filters that are applied by the nova-scheduler service. The default filters are:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
scheduler_default_filters = RetryFilter, AvailabilityZoneFilter, RamFilter, ComputeFilter, ComputeCapabilitiesFilter, ImagePropertiesFilter, ServerGroupAntiAffinityFilter, ServerGroupAffinityFilter
The following sections describe the available filters.
3.12.2.1. AggregateCoreFilter
Filters host by CPU core numbers with a per-aggregate cpu_allocation_ratio value. If the per-aggregate value is not found, the value falls back to the global setting. If the host is in more than one aggregate and more than one value is found, the minimum value will be used. For information about how to use this filter, see Section 3.12.5, “Host aggregates and availability zones”. See also Section 3.12.2.14, “CoreFilter”.
3.12.2.2. AggregateDiskFilter
Filters host by disk allocation with a per-aggregate disk_allocation_ratio value. If the per-aggregate value is not found, the value falls back to the global setting. If the host is in more than one aggregate and more than one value is found, the minimum value will be used. For information about how to use this filter, see Section 3.12.5, “Host aggregates and availability zones”. See also Section 3.12.2.17, “DiskFilter”.
3.12.2.3. AggregateImagePropertiesIsolation
Matches properties defined in an image's metadata against those of aggregates to determine host matches:
  • If a host belongs to an aggregate and the aggregate defines one or more metadata that matches an image's properties, that host is a candidate to boot the image's instance.
  • If a host does not belong to any aggregate, it can boot instances from all images.
You can configure the AggregateImagePropertiesIsolation filter by using the following options in the nova.conf file:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
# Considers only keys matching the given namespace (string).
aggregate_image_properties_isolation_namespace = <None>

# Separator used between the namespace and keys (string).
aggregate_image_properties_isolation_separator = .
3.12.2.4. AggregateInstanceExtraSpecsFilter
Matches properties defined in extra specs for an instance type against admin-defined properties on a host aggregate. Works with specifications that are scoped with aggregate_instance_extra_specs. For backward compatibility, also works with non-scoped specifications; this action is highly discouraged because it conflicts with ComputeCapabilitiesFilter filter when you enable both filters. For information about how to use this filter, see the host aggregates section.
3.12.2.5. AggregateIoOpsFilter
Filters host by disk allocation with a per-aggregate max_io_ops_per_host value. If the per-aggregate value is not found, the value falls back to the global setting. If the host is in more than one aggregate and more than one value is found, the minimum value will be used. For information about how to use this filter, see Section 3.12.5, “Host aggregates and availability zones”. See also Section 3.12.2.22, “IoOpsFilter”.
3.12.2.6. AggregateMultiTenancyIsolation
Isolates tenants to specific host aggregates. If a host is in an aggregate that has the filter_tenant_id metadata key, the host creates instances from only that tenant or list of tenants. A host can be in different aggregates. If a host does not belong to an aggregate with the metadata key, the host can create instances from all tenants.
3.12.2.7. AggregateNumInstancesFilter
Filters host by number of instances with a per-aggregate max_instances_per_host value. If the per-aggregate value is not found, the value falls back to the global setting. If the host is in more than one aggregate and thus more than one value is found, the minimum value will be used. For information about how to use this filter, see Section 3.12.5, “Host aggregates and availability zones”. See also Section 3.12.2.25, “NumInstancesFilter”.
3.12.2.8. AggregateRamFilter
Filters host by RAM allocation of instances with a per-aggregate ram_allocation_ratio value. If the per-aggregate value is not found, the value falls back to the global setting. If the host is in more than one aggregate and thus more than one value is found, the minimum value will be used. For information about how to use this filter, see Section 3.12.5, “Host aggregates and availability zones”. See also Section 3.12.2.27, “RamFilter”.
3.12.2.9. AggregateTypeAffinityFilter
Filters host by per-aggregate instance_type value. For information about how to use this filter, see Section 3.12.5, “Host aggregates and availability zones”. See also Section 3.12.2.34, “TypeAffinityFilter”.
3.12.2.10. AllHostsFilter
This is a no-op filter. It does not eliminate any of the available hosts.
3.12.2.11. AvailabilityZoneFilter
Filters hosts by availability zone. You must enable this filter for the scheduler to respect availability zones in requests.
3.12.2.12. ComputeCapabilitiesFilter
Matches properties defined in extra specs for an instance type against compute capabilities.
If an extra specs key contains a colon (:), anything before the colon is treated as a namespace and anything after the colon is treated as the key to be matched. If a namespace is present and is not capabilities, the filter ignores the namespace. For backward compatibility, also treats the extra specs key as the key to be matched if no namespace is present; this action is highly discouraged because it conflicts with AggregateInstanceExtraSpecsFilter filter when you enable both filters.
3.12.2.13. ComputeFilter
Passes all hosts that are operational and enabled.
In general, you should always enable this filter.
3.12.2.14. CoreFilter
Only schedules instances on hosts if sufficient CPU cores are available. If this filter is not set, the scheduler might over-provision a host based on cores. For example, the virtual cores running on an instance may exceed the physical cores.
You can configure this filter to enable a fixed amount of vCPU overcommitment by using the cpu_allocation_ratio configuration option in nova.conf. The default setting is:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
cpu_allocation_ratio = 16.0
With this setting, if 8 vCPUs are on a node, the scheduler allows instances up to 128 vCPU to be run on that node.
To disallow vCPU overcommitment set:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
cpu_allocation_ratio = 1.0
Note
The Compute API always returns the actual number of CPU cores available on a compute node regardless of the value of the cpu_allocation_ratio configuration key. As a result changes to the cpu_allocation_ratio are not reflected via the command line clients or the dashboard. Changes to this configuration key are only taken into account internally in the scheduler.
3.12.2.15. NUMATopologyFilter
Filters hosts based on the NUMA topology that was specified for the instance through the use of flavor extra_specsin combination with the image properties, as described in detail in the related nova-spec document: Filter will try to match the exact NUMA cells of the instance to those of the host. It will consider the standard over-subscription limits each cell, and provide limits to the compute host accordingly.
Note
If instance has no topology defined, it will be considered for any host. If instance has a topology defined, it will be considered only for NUMA capable hosts.
3.12.2.16. DifferentHostFilter
Schedules the instance on a different host from a set of instances. To take advantage of this filter, the requester must pass a scheduler hint, using different_host as the key and a list of instance UUIDs as the value. This filter is the opposite of the SameHostFilter. Using the nova command-line tool, use the --hint flag. For example:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
$ nova boot --image cedef40a-ed67-4d10-800e-17455edce175 --flavor 1 --hint different_host=a0cf03a5-d921-4877-bb5c-86d26cf818e1 --hint different_host=8c19174f-4220-44f0-824a-cd1eeef10287 server-1
With the API, use the os:scheduler_hints key. For example:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
{
    "server": {
        "name": "server-1",
        "imageRef": "cedef40a-ed67-4d10-800e-17455edce175",
        "flavorRef": "1"
    },
    "os:scheduler_hints": {
        "different_host": [
            "a0cf03a5-d921-4877-bb5c-86d26cf818e1",
            "8c19174f-4220-44f0-824a-cd1eeef10287"
        ]
    }
}
3.12.2.17. DiskFilter
Only schedules instances on hosts if there is sufficient disk space available for root and ephemeral storage.
You can configure this filter to enable a fixed amount of disk overcommitment by using the disk_allocation_ratio configuration option in the nova.conf configuration file. The default setting disables the possibility of the overcommitment and allows launching a VM only if there is a sufficient amount of disk space available on a host:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
disk_allocation_ratio = 1.0
DiskFilter always considers the value of the disk_available_least property and not the one of the free_disk_gb property of a hypervisor's statistics:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
$ nova hypervisor-stats
+----------------------+-------+
| Property             | Value |
+----------------------+-------+
| count                |  1    |
| current_workload     |  0    |

+----------------------+-------+
As it can be viewed from the command output above, the amount of the available disk space can be less than the amount of the free disk space. It happens because the disk_available_least property accounts for the virtual size rather than the actual size of images. If you use an image format that is sparse or copy on write so that each virtual instance does not require a 1:1 allocation of a virtual disk to a physical storage, it may be useful to allow the overcommitment of disk space.
To enable scheduling instances while overcommitting disk resources on the node, adjust the value of the disk_allocation_ratio configuration option to greater than 1.0:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
disk_allocation_ratio > 1.0
Note
If the value is set to >1, keep track of the free disk space, as the value approaching 0 may result in the incorrect functioning of instances using it at the moment.
3.12.2.18. GroupAffinityFilter
Note
This filter is deprecated in favor of ServerGroupAffinityFilter.
The GroupAffinityFilter ensures that an instance is scheduled on to a host from a set of group hosts. To take advantage of this filter, the requester must pass a scheduler hint, using group as the key and an arbitrary name as the value. Using the nova command-line tool, use the --hint flag. For example:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
$ nova boot --image IMAGE_ID --flavor 1 --hint group=GROUP server-1
This filter should not be enabled at the same time as GroupAntiAffinityFilter or neither filter will work properly.
3.12.2.19. GroupAntiAffinityFilter
Note
This filter is deprecated in favor of ServerGroupAntiAffinityFilter.
The GroupAntiAffinityFilter ensures that each instance in a group is on a different host. To take advantage of this filter, the requester must pass a scheduler hint, using group as the key and an arbitrary name as the value. Using the nova command-line tool, use the --hint flag. For example:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
$ nova boot --image IMAGE_ID --flavor 1 --hint group=GROUP server-1
This filter should not be enabled at the same time as GroupAffinityFilter or neither filter will work properly.
3.12.2.20. ImagePropertiesFilter
Filters hosts based on properties defined on the instance's image. It passes hosts that can support the specified image properties contained in the instance. Properties include the architecture, hypervisor type, hypervisor version (for Xen hypervisor type only), and virtual machine mode.
For example, an instance might require a host that runs an ARM-based processor, and QEMU as the hypervisor. You can decorate an image with these properties by using:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
$ glance image-update img-uuid --property architecture=arm --property hypervisor_type=qemu
The image properties that the filter checks for are:
  • architecture: describes the machine architecture required by the image. Examples are i686, x86_64, arm, and ppc64.
  • hypervisor_type: describes the hypervisor required by the image. Examples are xen, qemu, and xenapi.
    Note
    qemu is used for both QEMU and KVM hypervisor types.
  • hypervisor_version_requires: describes the hypervisor version required by the image. The property is supported for Xen hypervisor type only. It can be used to enable support for multiple hypervisor versions, and to prevent instances with newer Xen tools from being provisioned on an older version of a hypervisor. If available, the property value is compared to the hypervisor version of the compute host.
    To filter the hosts by the hypervisor version, add the hypervisor_version_requires property on the image as metadata and pass an operator and a required hypervisor version as its value:
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    $ glance image-update img-uuid --property hypervisor_type=xen --property hypervisor_version_requires=">=4.3"
  • vm_mode: describes the hypervisor application binary interface (ABI) required by the image. Examples are xen for Xen 3.0 paravirtual ABI, hvm for native ABI, uml for User Mode Linux paravirtual ABI, exe for container virt executable ABI.
3.12.2.21. IsolatedHostsFilter
Allows the admin to define a special (isolated) set of images and a special (isolated) set of hosts, such that the isolated images can only run on the isolated hosts, and the isolated hosts can only run isolated images. The flag restrict_isolated_hosts_to_isolated_images can be used to force isolated hosts to only run isolated images.
The admin must specify the isolated set of images and hosts in the nova.conf file using the isolated_hosts and isolated_images configuration options. For example:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
isolated_hosts = server1, server2
isolated_images = 342b492c-128f-4a42-8d3a-c5088cf27d13, ebd267a6-ca86-4d6c-9a0e-bd132d6b7d09
3.12.2.22. IoOpsFilter
The IoOpsFilter filters hosts by concurrent I/O operations on it. Hosts with too many concurrent I/O operations will be filtered out. The max_io_ops_per_host option specifies the maximum number of I/O intensive instances allowed to run on a host. A host will be ignored by the scheduler if more than max_io_ops_per_host instances in build, resize, snapshot, migrate, rescue or unshelve task states are running on it.
3.12.2.23. JsonFilter
The JsonFilter allows a user to construct a custom filter by passing a scheduler hint in JSON format. The following operators are supported:
  • =
  • <
  • >
  • in
  • <=
  • >=
  • not
  • or
  • and
The filter supports the following variables:
  • $free_ram_mb
  • $free_disk_mb
  • $total_usable_ram_mb
  • $vcpus_total
  • $vcpus_used
Using the nova command-line tool, use the --hint flag:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
$ nova boot --image 827d564a-e636-4fc4-a376-d36f7ebe1747 --flavor 1 --hint query='[">=","$free_ram_mb",1024]' server1
With the API, use the os:scheduler_hints key:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
{
    "server": {
        "name": "server-1",
        "imageRef": "cedef40a-ed67-4d10-800e-17455edce175",
        "flavorRef": "1"
    },
    "os:scheduler_hints": {
        "query": "[>=,$free_ram_mb,1024]"
    }
}
3.12.2.24. MetricsFilter
Filters hosts based on metrics weight_setting. Only hosts with the available metrics are passed so that the metrics weigher will not fail due to these hosts.
3.12.2.25. NumInstancesFilter
Hosts that have more instances running than specified by the max_instances_per_host option are filtered out when this filter is in place.
3.12.2.26. PciPassthroughFilter
The filter schedules instances on a host if the host has devices that meet the device requests in the extra_specs attribute for the flavor.
3.12.2.27. RamFilter
Only schedules instances on hosts that have sufficient RAM available. If this filter is not set, the scheduler may over provision a host based on RAM (for example, the RAM allocated by virtual machine instances may exceed the physical RAM).
You can configure this filter to enable a fixed amount of RAM overcommitment by using the ram_allocation_ratio configuration option in nova.conf. The default setting is:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
ram_allocation_ratio = 1.5
This setting enables 1.5 GB instances to run on any compute node with 1 GB of free RAM.
Warning
Overcommitting is not an ideal solution for all memory issues. Rather, the recommended methods to deal with memory shortage are to allocate less memory per guest, add more physical memory to the host, or utilize swap space. If you decide to leave memory overcommitment enabled, ensure sufficient testing is performed. Contact Red Hat's support services for assistance with overcommitting.
To disable RAM overcommitment, set ram_allocation_ratio to 1.0.
3.12.2.28. RetryFilter
Filters out hosts that have already been attempted for scheduling purposes. If the scheduler selects a host to respond to a service request, and the host fails to respond to the request, this filter prevents the scheduler from retrying that host for the service request.
This filter is only useful if the scheduler_max_attempts configuration option is set to a value greater than zero.
3.12.2.29. SameHostFilter
Schedules the instance on the same host as another instance in a set of instances. To take advantage of this filter, the requester must pass a scheduler hint, using same_host as the key and a list of instance UUIDs as the value. This filter is the opposite of the DifferentHostFilter. Using the nova command-line tool, use the --hint flag:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
$ nova boot --image cedef40a-ed67-4d10-800e-17455edce175 --flavor 1 --hint same_host=a0cf03a5-d921-4877-bb5c-86d26cf818e1 \ --hint same_host=8c19174f-4220-44f0-824a-cd1eeef10287 server-1
With the API, use the os:scheduler_hints key:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
{
    "server": {
        "name": "server-1",
        "imageRef": "cedef40a-ed67-4d10-800e-17455edce175",
        "flavorRef": "1"
    },
    "os:scheduler_hints": {
        "same_host": [
            "a0cf03a5-d921-4877-bb5c-86d26cf818e1",
            "8c19174f-4220-44f0-824a-cd1eeef10287"
        ]
    }
}
3.12.2.30. ServerGroupAffinityFilter
The ServerGroupAffinityFilter ensures that an instance is scheduled on to a host from a set of group hosts. To take advantage of this filter, the requester must create a server group with an affinity policy, and pass a scheduler hint, using group as the key and the server group UUID as the value. Using the nova command-line tool, use the --hint flag. For example:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
$ nova server-group-create --policy affinity group-1
$ nova boot --image IMAGE_ID --flavor 1 --hint group=SERVER_GROUP_UUID server-1
3.12.2.31. ServerGroupAntiAffinityFilter
The ServerGroupAntiAffinityFilter ensures that each instance in a group is on a different host. To take advantage of this filter, the requester must create a server group with an anti-affinity policy, and pass a scheduler hint, using group as the key and the server group UUID as the value. Using the nova command-line tool, use the --hint flag. For example:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
$ nova server-group-create --policy anti-affinity group-1
$ nova boot --image IMAGE_ID --flavor 1 --hint group=SERVER_GROUP_UUID server-1
3.12.2.32. SimpleCIDRAffinityFilter
Schedules the instance based on host IP subnet range. To take advantage of this filter, the requester must specify a range of valid IP address in CIDR format, by passing two scheduler hints:
build_near_host_ip
The first IP address in the subnet (for example, 192.168.1.1)
cidr
The CIDR that corresponds to the subnet (for example, /24)
Using the nova command-line tool, use the --hint flag. For example, to specify the IP subnet 192.168.1.1/24
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
$ nova boot --image cedef40a-ed67-4d10-800e-17455edce175 --flavor 1 --hint build_near_host_ip=192.168.1.1 --hint cidr=/24 server-1
With the API, use the os:scheduler_hints key:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
{
    "server": {
        "name": "server-1",
        "imageRef": "cedef40a-ed67-4d10-800e-17455edce175",
        "flavorRef": "1"
    },
    "os:scheduler_hints": {
        "build_near_host_ip": "192.168.1.1",
        "cidr": "24"
    }
}
3.12.2.33. TrustedFilter
Filters hosts based on their trust. Only passes hosts that meet the trust requirements specified in the instance properties.
3.12.2.34. TypeAffinityFilter
Dynamically limits hosts to one instance type. An instance can only be launched on a host, if no instance with different instances types are running on it, or if the host has no running instances at all.

3.12.3. Weights

When resourcing instances, the filter scheduler filters and weights each host in the list of acceptable hosts. Each time the scheduler selects a host, it virtually consumes resources on it, and subsequent selections are adjusted accordingly. This process is useful when the customer asks for the same large amount of instances, because weight is computed for each requested instance.
All weights are normalized before being summed up; the host with the largest weight is given the highest priority.
If cells are used, cells are weighted by the scheduler in the same manner as hosts.
Hosts and cells are weighted based on the following options in the /etc/nova/nova.conf file:
Table 3.6. Host weighting options
Section Option Description
[DEFAULT] ram_weight_multiplier By default, the scheduler spreads instances across all hosts evenly. Set the ram_weight_multiplier option to a negative number if you prefer stacking instead of spreading. Use a floating-point value.
[DEFAULT] scheduler_host_subset_size New instances are scheduled on a host that is chosen randomly from a subset of the N best hosts. This property defines the subset size from which a host is chosen. A value of 1 chooses the first host returned by the weighting functions. This value must be at least 1. A value less than 1 is ignored, and 1 is used instead. Use an integer value.
[DEFAULT] scheduler_weight_classes Defaults to nova.scheduler.weights.all_weighers, which selects the RamWeigher and MetricsWeigher. Hosts are then weighted and sorted with the largest weight winning.
[metrics] weight_multiplier Multiplier for weighting metrics. Use a floating-point value.
[metrics] weight_setting Determines how metrics are weighted. Use a comma-separated list of metricName=ratio. For example: "name1=1.0, name2=-1.0" results in: name1.value * 1.0 + name2.value * -1.0
[metrics] required
Specifies how to treat unavailable metrics:
  • True—Raises an exception. To avoid the raised exception, you should use the scheduler filter MetricFilter to filter out hosts with unavailable metrics.
  • False—Treated as a negative factor in the weighting process (uses the weight_of_unavailable option).
[metrics] weight_of_unavailable If required is set to False, and any one of the metrics set by weight_setting is unavailable, the weight_of_unavailable value is returned to the scheduler.
For example:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
[DEFAULT]
scheduler_host_subset_size = 1
scheduler_weight_classes = nova.scheduler.weights.all_weighers
ram_weight_multiplier = 1.0
[metrics]
weight_multiplier = 1.0
weight_setting = name1=1.0, name2=-1.0
required = false
weight_of_unavailable = -10000.0
Table 3.7. Cell weighting options
Section Option Description
[cells] mute_weight_multiplier Multiplier to weight mute children (hosts which have not sent capacity or capacity updates for some time). Use a negative, floating-point value.
[cells] mute_weight_value (deprecated) Weight value assigned to mute children. Use a positive, floating-point value with a maximum of '1.0'. This option is deprecated, use mute_weight_multiplier instead.
[cells] offset_weight_multiplier Multiplier to weight cells, so you can specify a preferred cell. Use a floating point value.
[cells] ram_weight_multiplier By default, the scheduler spreads instances across all cells evenly. Set the ram_weight_multiplier option to a negative number if you prefer stacking instead of spreading. Use a floating-point value.
[cells] scheduler_weight_classes Defaults to nova.cells.weights.all_weighers, which maps to all cell weighers included with Compute. Cells are then weighted and sorted with the largest weight winning.
For example:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
[cells]
scheduler_weight_classes = nova.cells.weights.all_weighers
mute_weight_multiplier = -10.0
ram_weight_multiplier = 1.0
offset_weight_multiplier = 1.0

3.12.4. Chance scheduler

As an administrator, you work with the filter scheduler. However, the Compute service also uses the Chance Scheduler, nova.scheduler.chance.ChanceScheduler, which randomly selects from lists of filtered hosts.

3.12.5. Host aggregates and availability zones

Host aggregates are a mechanism for partitioning hosts in an OpenStack cloud, or a region of an OpenStack cloud, based on arbitrary characteristics. Examples where an administrator may want to do this include where a group of hosts have additional hardware or performance characteristics.
Host aggregates are not explicitly exposed to users. Instead administrators map flavors to host aggregates. Administrators do this by setting metadata on a host aggregate, and matching flavor extra specifications. The scheduler then endeavors to match user requests for instance of the given flavor to a host aggregate with the same key-value pair in its metadata. Compute nodes can be in more than one host aggregate.
Administrators are able to optionally expose a host aggregate as an availability zone. Availability zones are different from host aggregates in that they are explicitly exposed to the user, and hosts can only be in a single availability zone. Administrators can configure a default availability zone where instances will be scheduled when the user fails to specify one.
Command-line interface
The nova command-line tool supports the following aggregate-related commands.
nova aggregate-list
Print a list of all aggregates.
nova aggregate-create <name> [availability-zone]
Create a new aggregate named <name>, and optionally in availability zone [availability-zone] if specified. The command returns the ID of the newly created aggregate. Hosts can be made available to multiple host aggregates. Be careful when adding a host to an additional host aggregate when the host is also in an availability zone. Pay attention when using the aggregate-set-metadata and aggregate-update commands to avoid user confusion when they boot instances in different availability zones. An error occurs if you cannot add a particular host to an aggregate zone for which it is not intended.
nova aggregate-delete <id>
Delete an aggregate with id <id>.
nova aggregate-details <id>
Show details of the aggregate with id <id>.
nova aggregate-add-host <id> <host>
Add host with name <host> to aggregate with id <id>.
nova aggregate-remove-host <id> <host>
Remove the host with name <host> from the aggregate with id <id>.
nova aggregate-set-metadata <id> <key=value> [<key=value> ...]
Add or update metadata (key-value pairs) associated with the aggregate with id <id>.
nova aggregate-update <id> <name> [<availability_zone>]
Update the name and availability zone (optional) for the aggregate.
nova host-list
List all hosts by service.
nova host-update --maintenance [enable | disable]
Put/resume host into/from maintenance.
Note
Only administrators can access these commands. If you try to use these commands and the user name and tenant that you use to access the Compute service do not have the admin role or the appropriate privileges, these errors occur:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
ERROR: Policy does not allow compute_extension:aggregates to be performed. (HTTP 403) (Request-ID: req-299fbff6-6729-4cef-93b2-e7e1f96b4864)

ERROR: Policy does not allow compute_extension:hosts to be performed. (HTTP 403) (Request-ID: req-ef2400f6-6776-4ea3-b6f1-7704085c27d1) 
Configure scheduler to support host aggregates
One common use case for host aggregates is when you want to support scheduling instances to a subset of compute hosts because they have a specific capability. For example, you may want to allow users to request compute hosts that have SSD drives if they need access to faster disk I/O, or access to compute hosts that have GPU cards to take advantage of GPU-accelerated code.
To configure the scheduler to support host aggregates, the scheduler_default_filters configuration option must contain the AggregateInstanceExtraSpecsFilter in addition to the other filters used by the scheduler. Add the following line to /etc/nova/nova.conf on the host that runs the nova-scheduler service to enable host aggregates filtering, as well as the other filters that are typically enabled: Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
scheduler_default_filters=AggregateInstanceExtraSpecsFilter,RetryFilter,AvailabilityZoneFilter,RamFilter,ComputeFilter,ComputeCapabilitiesFilter,ImagePropertiesFilter,ServerGroupAntiAffinityFilter,ServerGroupAffinityFilter
Example: Specify compute hosts with SSDs
This example configures the Compute service to enable users to request nodes that have solid-state drives (SSDs). You create a fast-io host aggregate in the nova availability zone and you add the ssd=true key-value pair to the aggregate. Then, you add the node1, and node2 compute nodes to it.
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
$ nova aggregate-create fast-io nova
+----+---------+-------------------+-------+----------+
| Id | Name    | Availability Zone | Hosts | Metadata |

+----+---------+-------------------+----------------------+-------------------+
Use the nova flavor-create command to create the ssd.large flavor called with an ID of 6, 8 GB of RAM, 80 GB root disk, and four vCPUs.
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
$ nova flavor-create ssd.large 6 8192 80 4
+----+-----------+-----------+------+-----------+------+-------+-------------+-----------+
| ID | Name      | Memory_MB | Disk | Ephemeral | Swap | VCPUs | RXTX_Factor | Is_Public |

| 6  | ssd.large | 8192      | 80   | 0         |      | 4     | 1.0         | True      |
+----+-----------+-----------+------+-----------+------+-------+-------------+-----------+
Once the flavor is created, specify one or more key-value pairs that match the key-value pairs on the host aggregates with scope aggregate_instance_extra_specs. In this case, that is the aggregate_instance_extra_specs:ssd=true key-value pair. Setting a key-value pair on a flavor is done using the nova flavor-key command.
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
$ nova flavor-key ssd.large set aggregate_instance_extra_specs:ssd=true
Once it is set, you should see the extra_specs property of the ssd.large flavor populated with a key of ssd and a corresponding value of true.

+----------------------------+--------------------------------------------------+
Now, when a user requests an instance with the ssd.large flavor, the scheduler only considers hosts with the ssd=true key-value pair. In this example, these are node1 and node2.
Note
The key and value are case sensitive strings. The Compute scheduler performs a case sensitive string match of the value.
XenServer hypervisor pools to support live migration
When using the XenAPI-based hypervisor, the Compute service uses host aggregates to manage XenServer Resource pools, which are used in supporting live migration.

3.12.6. Configuration reference

To customize the Compute scheduler, use the configuration option settings documented in Table 3.48, “Description of scheduler configuration options”.

3.13. Cells

Cells functionality enables you to scale an OpenStack Compute cloud in a more distributed fashion without having to use complicated technologies like database and message queue clustering. It supports very large deployments.
When this functionality is enabled, the hosts in an OpenStack Compute cloud are partitioned into groups called cells. Cells are configured as a tree. The top-level cell should have a host that runs a nova-api service, but no nova-compute services. Each child cell should run all of the typical nova-* services in a regular Compute cloud except for nova-api. You can think of cells as a normal Compute deployment in that each cell has its own database server and message queue broker.
The nova-cells service handles communication between cells and selects cells for new instances. This service is required for every cell. Communication between cells is pluggable, and currently the only option is communication through RPC.
Cells scheduling is separate from host scheduling. nova-cells first picks a cell. Once a cell is selected and the new build request reaches its nova-cells service, it is sent over to the host scheduler in that cell and the build proceeds as it would have without cells.
Warning
Cell functionality is currently considered experimental.

3.13.1. Cell configuration options

Cells are disabled by default. All cell-related configuration options appear in the [cells] section in nova.conf. The following cell-related options are currently supported:
enable
Set to True to turn on cell functionality. Default is false.
name
Name of the current cell. Must be unique for each cell.
capabilities
List of arbitrary key=value pairs defining capabilities of the current cell. Values include hypervisor=xenserver;kvm,os=linux.
call_timeout
How long in seconds to wait for replies from calls between cells.
scheduler_filter_classes
Filter classes that the cells scheduler should use. By default, uses "nova.cells.filters.all_filters" to map to all cells filters included with Compute.
scheduler_weight_classes
Weight classes that the scheduler for cells uses. By default, uses nova.cells.weights.all_weighers to map to all cells weight algorithms included with Compute.
ram_weight_multiplier
Multiplier used to weight RAM. Negative numbers indicate that Compute should stack VMs on one host instead of spreading out new VMs to more hosts in the cell. The default value is 10.0.

3.13.2. Configure the API (top-level) cell

The cell type must be changed in the API cell so that requests can be proxied through nova-cells down to the correct cell properly. Edit the nova.conf file in the API cell, and specify api in the cell_type key: Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
[DEFAULT]
compute_api_class=nova.compute.cells_api.ComputeCellsAPI
...

[cells]
cell_type= api

3.13.3. Configure the child cells

Edit the nova.conf file in the child cells, and specify compute in the cell_type key: Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
[DEFAULT]
# Disable quota checking in child cells. Let API cell do it exclusively.
quota_driver=nova.quota.NoopQuotaDriver

[cells]
cell_type = compute

3.13.4. Configure the database in each cell

Before bringing the services online, the database in each cell needs to be configured with information about related cells. In particular, the API cell needs to know about its immediate children, and the child cells must know about their immediate agents. The information needed is the RabbitMQ server credentials for the particular cell.
Use the nova-manage cell create command to add this information to the database in each cell: Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
# nova-manage cell create -h
Options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --name=<name>         Name for the new cell
  --cell_type=<parent|child>
                        Whether the cell is a parent or child
  --username=<username>
                        Username for the message broker in this cell
  --password=<password>
                        Password for the message broker in this cell
  --hostname=<hostname>
                        Address of the message broker in this cell
  --port=<number>       Port number of the message broker in this cell
  --virtual_host=<virtual_host>
                        The virtual host of the message broker in this cell
  --woffset=<float>
                        (weight offset) It might be used by some cell scheduling code in the future
  --wscale=<float>
                        (weight scale) It might be used by some cell scheduling code in the future
As an example, assume an API cell named api and a child cell named cell1.
Within the api cell, specify the following RabbitMQ server information: Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
rabbit_host=10.0.0.10
rabbit_port=5672
rabbit_username=api_user
rabbit_password=api_passwd
rabbit_virtual_host=api_vhost
Within the cell1 child cell, specify the following RabbitMQ server information: Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
rabbit_host=10.0.1.10
rabbit_port=5673
rabbit_username=cell1_user
rabbit_password=cell1_passwd
rabbit_virtual_host=cell1_vhost
You can run this in the API cell as root: Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
# nova-manage cell create --name cell1 --cell_type child --username cell1_user --password cell1_passwd --hostname 10.0.1.10 --port 5673 --virtual_host cell1_vhost --woffset 1.0 --wscale 1.0
Repeat the previous steps for all child cells.
In the child cell, run the following, as root: Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
# nova-manage cell create --name api --cell_type parent --username api_user --password api_passwd --hostname 10.0.0.10 --port 5672 --virtual_host api_vhost --woffset 1.0 --wscale 1.0
To customize the Compute cells, use the configuration option settings documented in Table 3.16, “Description of cell configuration options”.

3.13.5. Cell scheduling configuration

To determine the best cell to use to launch a new instance, Compute uses a set of filters and weights defined in the /etc/nova/nova.conf file. The following options are available to prioritize cells for scheduling:
scheduler_filter_classes
List of filter classes. By default nova.cells.filters.all_filters is specified, which maps to all cells filters included with Compute (see Section 3.12.2, “Filters”).
scheduler_weight_classes
List of weight classes. By default nova.cells.weights.all_weighers is specified, which maps to all cell weight algorithms included with Compute. The following modules are available:
  • mute_child. Downgrades the likelihood of child cells being chosen for scheduling requests, which have not sent capacity or capability updates in a while. Options include mute_weight_multiplier (multiplier for mute children; value should be negative) and mute_weight_value (assigned to mute children; should be a positive value).
    Warning
    The mute_weight_value is deprecated, use mute_weight_multiplier instead.
  • ram_by_instance_type. Select cells with the most RAM capacity for the instance type being requested. Because higher weights win, Compute returns the number of available units for the instance type requested. The ram_weight_multiplier option defaults to 10.0 that adds to the weight by a factor of 10. Use a negative number to stack VMs on one host instead of spreading out new VMs to more hosts in the cell.
  • weight_offset. Allows modifying the database to weight a particular cell. You can use this when you want to disable a cell (for example, '0'), or to set a default cell by making its weight_offset very high (for example, '999999999999999'). The highest weight will be the first cell to be scheduled for launching an instance.
Additionally, the following options are available for the cell scheduler:
scheduler_retries
Specifies how many times the scheduler tries to launch a new instance when no cells are available (default=10).
scheduler_retry_delay
Specifies the delay (in seconds) between retries (default=2).
As an admin user, you can also add a filter that directs builds to a particular cell. The policy.json file must have a line with "cells_scheduler_filter:TargetCellFilter" : "is_admin:True" to let an admin user specify a scheduler hint to direct a build to a particular cell.

3.13.6. Optional cell configuration

Cells store all inter-cell communication data, including user names and passwords, in the database. Because the cells data is not updated very frequently, use the [cells]cells_config option to specify a JSON file to store cells data. With this configuration, the database is no longer consulted when reloading the cells data. The file must have columns present in the Cell model (excluding common database fields and the id column). You must specify the queue connection information through a transport_url field, instead of username, password, and so on. The transport_url has the following form:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
rabbit://USERNAME:PASSWORD@HOSTNAME:PORT/VIRTUAL_HOST
The scheme can be either qpid or rabbit, as shown previously. The following sample shows this optional configuration:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
{
    "parent": {
        "name": "parent",
        "api_url": "http://api.example.com:8774",
        "transport_url": "rabbit://rabbit.example.com",
        "weight_offset": 0.0,
        "weight_scale": 1.0,
        "is_parent": true
    },
    "cell1": {
        "name": "cell1",
        "api_url": "http://api.example.com:8774",
        "transport_url": "rabbit://rabbit1.example.com",
        "weight_offset": 0.0,
        "weight_scale": 1.0,
        "is_parent": false
    },
    "cell2": {
        "name": "cell2",
        "api_url": "http://api.example.com:8774",
        "transport_url": "rabbit://rabbit2.example.com",
        "weight_offset": 0.0,
        "weight_scale": 1.0,
        "is_parent": false
    }
}

3.14. Conductor

The nova-conductor service enables OpenStack to function without compute nodes accessing the database. Conceptually, it implements a new layer on top of nova-compute. It should not be deployed on compute nodes, or else the security benefits of removing database access from nova-compute are negated. Just like other nova services such as nova-api or nova-scheduler, it can be scaled horizontally. You can run multiple instances of nova-conductor on different machines as needed for scaling purposes.
The methods exposed by nova-conductor are relatively simple methods used by nova-compute to offload its database operations. Places where nova-compute previously performed database access are now talking to nova-conductor. However, there are plans in the medium to long term to move more and more of what is currently in nova-compute up to the nova-conductor layer. The Compute service will start to look like a less intelligent slave service to nova-conductor. The conductor service will implement long running complex operations, ensuring forward progress and graceful error handling. This will be especially beneficial for operations that cross multiple compute nodes, such as migrations or resizes.
To customize the Conductor, use the configuration option settings documented in Table 3.19, “Description of conductor configuration options”.

3.15. Example nova.conf configuration files

The following sections describe the configuration options in the nova.conf file. You must copy the nova.conf file to each compute node. The sample nova.conf files show examples of specific configurations.

Small, private cloud

This example nova.conf file configures a small private cloud with cloud controller services, database server, and messaging server on the same server. In this case, CONTROLLER_IP represents the IP address of a central server, BRIDGE_INTERFACE represents the bridge such as br100, the NETWORK_INTERFACE represents an interface to your VLAN setup, and passwords are represented as DB_PASSWORD_COMPUTE for your Compute (nova) database password, and RABBIT PASSWORD represents the password to your message queue installation.

3.16. Compute log files

The corresponding log file of each Compute service is stored in the /var/log/nova/ directory of the host on which each service runs.
Table 3.8. Log files used by Compute services
Log file Service name
api.log openstack-nova-api
cert.log [a] openstack-nova-cert

conductor.log openstack-nova-conductor
consoleauth.log openstack-nova-consoleauth
network.log[b] openstack-nova-network
nova-manage.log nova-manage
scheduler.log openstack-nova-scheduler
[a] The X509 certificate service (openstack-nova-cert/nova-cert) is only required by the EC2 API to the Compute service.
[b] The nova network service (openstack-nova-network/nova-network) only runs in deployments that are not configured to use the Networking service (neutron).

Configuration option = Default value Description
[keystone_authtoken]
admin_password = None (StrOpt) Service user password.
admin_tenant_name = admin (StrOpt) Service tenant name.
admin_token = None (StrOpt) This option is deprecated and may be removed in a future release.

Finally the name of a binding method that must be present in tokens.
hash_algorithms = md5 (ListOpt) Hash algorithms to use for hashing PKI tokens. This may be a single algorithm or multiple. The algorithms are those supported by Python standard hashlib.new(). The hashes will be tried in the order given, so put the preferred one first for performance. The result of the first hash will be stored in the cache. This will typically be set to multiple values only while migrating from a less secure algorithm to a more secure one. Once all the old tokens are expired this option should be set to a single value for better performance.

memcache_secret_key = None (StrOpt) (Optional, mandatory if memcache_security_strategy is defined) This string is used for key derivation.
memcache_security_strategy = None (StrOpt) (Optional) If defined, indicate whether token data should be authenticated or authenticated and encrypted. Acceptable values are MAC or ENCRYPT. If MAC, token data is authenticated (with HMAC) in the cache. If ENCRYPT, token data is encrypted and authenticated in the cache. If the value is not one of these options or empty, auth_token will raise an exception on initialization.
memcache_use_advanced_pool = False (BoolOpt) (Optional) Use the advanced (eventlet safe) memcache client pool. The advanced pool will only work under python 2.x.

3.17.2.3. rootwrap.conf
The rootwrap.conf file defines configuration values used by the rootwrap script when the Compute service needs to escalate its privileges to those of the root user.
It is also possible to disable the root wrapper, and default to sudo only. Configure the disable_rootwrap option in the [workaround] section of the nova.conf configuration file.
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

# explicitely specify a full path (separated by ',')
# If not specified, defaults to system PATH environment variable.

3.18. New, updated and deprecated options in Kilo for OpenStack Compute

Table 3.60. New options
Option = default value (Type) Help string
[DEFAULT] ebtables_exec_attempts = 3 (IntOpt) Number of times to retry ebtables commands on failure.
[DEFAULT] ebtables_retry_interval = 1.0 (FloatOpt) Number of seconds to wait between ebtables retries.
[DEFAULT] io_ops_weight_multiplier = -1.0 (FloatOpt) Multiplier used for weighing host io ops. Negative numbers mean a preference to choose light workload compute hosts.
[DEFAULT] keystone_ec2_insecure = False (BoolOpt) Disable SSL certificate verification.
[DEFAULT] log-config-append = None (StrOpt) The name of a logging configuration file. This file is appended to any existing logging configuration files. For details about logging configuration files, see the Python logging module documentation.
[DEFAULT] log-date-format = %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S (StrOpt) Format string for %%(asctime)s in log records. Default: %(default)s .
[DEFAULT] log-dir = None (StrOpt) (Optional) The base directory used for relative --log-file paths.
[DEFAULT] log-file = None (StrOpt) (Optional) Name of log file to output to. If no default is set, logging will go to stdout.
[DEFAULT] log-format = None (StrOpt) DEPRECATED. A logging.Formatter log message format string which may use any of the available logging.LogRecord attributes. This option is deprecated. Use logging_context_format_string and logging_default_format_string instead.
[DEFAULT] max_concurrent_builds = 10 (IntOpt) Maximum number of instance builds to run concurrently
[DEFAULT] metadata_cache_expiration = 15 (IntOpt) Time in seconds to cache metadata; 0 to disable metadata caching entirely (not recommended). Increasingthis should improve response times of the metadata API when under heavy load. Higher values may increase memoryusage and result in longer times for host metadata changes to take effect.
[DEFAULT] my_block_storage_ip = $my_ip (StrOpt) Block storage IP address of this host
[DEFAULT] novncproxy_host = 0.0.0.0 (StrOpt) Host on which to listen for incoming requests
[DEFAULT] novncproxy_port = 6080 (IntOpt) Port on which to listen for incoming requests
[DEFAULT] policy_dirs = ['policy.d'] (MultiStrOpt) Directories where policy configuration files are stored. They can be relative to any directory in the search path defined by the config_dir option, or absolute paths. The file defined by policy_file must exist for these directories to be searched. Missing or empty directories are ignored.
[DEFAULT] quota_networks = 3 (IntOpt) Number of private networks allowed per project
[DEFAULT] scheduler_instance_sync_interval = 120 (IntOpt) Waiting time interval (seconds) between sending the scheduler a list of current instance UUIDs to verify that its view of instances is in sync with nova. If the CONF option `scheduler_tracks_instance_changes` is False, changing this option will have no effect.
[DEFAULT] scheduler_tracks_instance_changes = True (BoolOpt) Determines if the Scheduler tracks changes to instances to help with its filtering decisions.
[DEFAULT] syslog-log-facility = LOG_USER (StrOpt) Syslog facility to receive log lines.
[DEFAULT] use-syslog = False (BoolOpt) Use syslog for logging. Existing syslog format is DEPRECATED during I, and will change in J to honor RFC5424.
[DEFAULT] use-syslog-rfc-format = False (BoolOpt) (Optional) Enables or disables syslog rfc5424 format for logging. If enabled, prefixes the MSG part of the syslog message with APP-NAME (RFC5424). The format without the APP-NAME is deprecated in I, and will be removed in J.

Chapter 4. Dashboard

This chapter describes how to configure the OpenStack dashboard with Apache web server.

4.1. Configure the dashboard

You can configure the dashboard for a simple HTTP deployment.
You can configure the dashboard for a secured HTTPS deployment. While the standard installation uses a non-encrypted HTTP channel, you can enable SSL support for the dashboard.
Also, you can configure the size of the VNC window in the dashboard.

4.1.1. Configure the dashboard for HTTP

You can configure the dashboard for a simple HTTP deployment. The standard installation uses a non-encrypted HTTP channel.
  1. Specify the host for your OpenStack Identity Service endpoint in the /etc/openstack-dashboard/local_settings file with the OPENSTACK_HOST setting.
    The following example shows this setting:
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    import os
    
    from django.utils.translation import ugettext_lazy as _
    
    DEBUG = False
    TEMPLATE_DEBUG = DEBUG
    
    # WEBROOT is the location relative to Webserver root
    # should end with a slash.
    WEBROOT = '/dashboard/'
    
    # Required for Django 1.5.
    # If horizon is running in production (DEBUG is False), set this
    # with the list of host/domain names that the application can serve.
    # For more information see:
    # https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/settings/#allowed-hosts
    #ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['horizon.example.com', ]
    
    ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['*', ]
    
    # Specify a regular expression to validate user passwords.
    # HORIZON_CONFIG = {
    #     "password_validator": {
    #         "regex": '.*',
    #         "help_text": _("Your password does not meet the requirements.")
    #     }
    # }
    
    LOCAL_PATH = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
    
    CACHES = {
    	'default': {
    		'BACKEND' : 'django.core.cache.backends.memcached.MemcachedCache',
    		'LOCATION' : '127.0.0.1:11211'
    	}
    }
    
    # Send email to the console by default
    EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.console.EmailBackend'
    # Or send them to /dev/null
    #EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.dummy.EmailBackend'
    
    # Configure these for your outgoing email host
    # EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.my-company.com'
    # EMAIL_PORT = 25

    OPENSTACK_KEYSTONE_URL = "http://%s:5000/v2.0" % OPENSTACK_HOST
    OPENSTACK_KEYSTONE_DEFAULT_ROLE = "Member"
    
    # The OPENSTACK_KEYSTONE_BACKEND settings can be used to identify the
    # capabilities of the auth backend for Keystone.
    # If Keystone has been configured to use LDAP as the auth backend then set
    # can_edit_user to False and name to 'ldap'.
    #
    # TODO(tres): Remove these once Keystone has an API to identify auth backend.
    OPENSTACK_KEYSTONE_BACKEND = {
        'name': 'native',
        'can_edit_user': True
    }
    
    # OPENSTACK_ENDPOINT_TYPE specifies the endpoint type to use for the endpoints
    # in the Keystone service catalog. Use this setting when Horizon is running
    # external to the OpenStack environment. The default is 'internalURL'.
    #OPENSTACK_ENDPOINT_TYPE = "publicURL"
    
    # The number of Swift containers and objects to display on a single page before
    # providing a paging element (a "more" link) to paginate results.
    API_RESULT_LIMIT = 1000
    
    # If you have external monitoring links, eg:

    # ]
    
    LOGGING = {
            'version': 1,
            # When set to True this will disable all logging except
            # for loggers specified in this configuration dictionary. Note that
            # if nothing is specified here and disable_existing_loggers is True,
            # django.db.backends will still log unless it is disabled explicitly.
            'disable_existing_loggers': False,
            'handlers': {
                'null': {
                    'level': 'DEBUG',
                    'class': 'django.utils.log.NullHandler',
                    },
                'console': {
                    # Set the level to "DEBUG" for verbose output logging.
                    'level': 'INFO',
                    'class': 'logging.StreamHandler',
                    },
                },
            'loggers': {
                # Logging from django.db.backends is VERY verbose, send to null
                # by default.
                'django.db.backends': {
                    'handlers': ['null'],
                    'propagate': False,
                    },
                'horizon': {
                    'handlers': ['console'],
                    'propagate': False,
                },
                'novaclient': {
                    'handlers': ['console'],
                    'propagate': False,
                },
                'keystoneclient': {

                    'propagate': False,
                }
            }
    }
    
    The service catalog configuration in the Identity Service determines whether a service appears in the dashboard..
  2. Restart Apache http server.
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    # systemctl restart httpd
    Next, restart memcached:
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    # systemctl restart memcached

4.1.2. Configure the dashboard for HTTPS

You can configure the dashboard for a secured HTTPS deployment. While the standard installation uses a non-encrypted HTTP channel, you can enable SSL support for the dashboard.
This example uses the http://openstack.example.com domain. Use a domain that fits your current setup.
  1. In the /etc/openstack-dashboard/local_settings file, update the following options:
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    USE_SSL = True
    CSRF_COOKIE_SECURE = True
    SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE = True
    SESSION_COOKIE_HTTPONLY = True
    To enable HTTPS, the USE_SSL = True option is required.
    The other options require that HTTPS is enabled; these options defend against cross-site scripting.
  2. Edit the /etc/httpd/conf.d/openstack-dashboard.conf file as shown in Example 4.2, “After”:

    Example 4.1. Before

    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    WSGIScriptAlias / /usr/share/openstack-dashboard/openstack_dashboard/wsgi/django.wsgi
    WSGIDaemonProcess horizon user=apache group=apache processes=3 threads=10
    Alias /static /usr/share/openstack-dashboard/openstack_dashboard/static/
    <Directory /usr/share/openstack-dashboard/openstack_dashboard/wsgi>
    # For Apache http server 2.2 and earlier:
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    
    # For Apache http server 2.4 and later:
    # Require all granted
    </Directory>

    Example 4.2. After

    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    <VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName openstack.example.com
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
    RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}
    </IfModule>
    <IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
    RedirectPermanent / https://openstack.example.com
    </IfModule>
    </VirtualHost>
    <VirtualHost *:443>
    ServerName openstack.example.com
    
    SSLEngine On
    # Remember to replace certificates and keys with valid paths in your environment
    SSLCertificateFile /etc/httpd/SSL/openstack.example.com.crt
    SSLCACertificateFile /etc/httpd/SSL/openstack.example.com.crt
    SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/httpd/SSL/openstack.example.com.key
    SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown
    
    # HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) enforces that all communications
    # with a server go over SSL. This mitigates the threat from attacks such
    # as SSL-Strip which replaces links on the wire, stripping away https prefixes
    # and potentially allowing an attacker to view confidential information on the
    # wire
    Header add Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=15768000"
    
    WSGIScriptAlias / /usr/share/openstack-dashboard/openstack_dashboard/wsgi/django.wsgi
    WSGIDaemonProcess horizon user=apache group=apache processes=3 threads=10
    Alias /static /usr/share/openstack-dashboard/openstack_dashboard/static/
    <Directory /usr/share/openstack-dashboard/openstack_dashboard/wsgi>
    # For Apache http server 2.2 and earlier:
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    
    # For Apache http server 2.4 and later:
    # Require all granted
    </Directory>
    </VirtualHost>
    In this configuration, the Apache HTTP server listens on port 443 and redirects all non-secure requests to the HTTPS protocol. The secured section defines the private key, public key, and certificate to use.
  3. Restart the Apache HTTP server.
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    # systemctl restart httpd
  4. Restart memcached:
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    # systemctl restart memcached
    If you try to access the dashboard through HTTP, the browser redirects you to the HTTPS page.

4.2. Customize the dashboard

Once you have the dashboard installed you can customize the way it looks and feels to suit your own needs.
Note
The OpenStack dashboard by default installs the openstack-dashboard-theme package.
If you do not want to use this theme you can remove it and its dependencies using the following command:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
# yum erase openstack-dashboard-theme
Note
This guide focuses on the local_settings file, stored in /openstack-dashboard/openstack_dashboard/local/.
The following can easily be customized:
  • Site colors
  • Logo
  • HTML title
  • Site branding link
  • Help URL

Procedure 4.1. Logo and site colors

  1. Create two logo files, png format, with transparent backgrounds using the following sizes:
    • Login screen: 365 x 50
    • Logged in banner: 216 x 35
  2. Upload your new images to the following location: /usr/share/openstack-dashboard/openstack_dashboard/static/dashboard/img/
  3. Create a CSS style sheet in the following directory: /usr/share/openstack-dashboard/openstack_dashboard/static/dashboard/css/
  4. Change the colors and image file names as appropriate, though the relative directory paths should be the same. The following example file shows you how to customize your CSS file:
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    /*
    * New theme colors for dashboard that override the defaults:

  6. Add a line to include your newly created style sheet. For example custom.css file:
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    ...
        <link href='{{ STATIC_URL }}bootstrap/css/bootstrap.min.css' media='screen' rel='stylesheet' />
        <link href='{{ STATIC_URL }}dashboard/css/{% choose_css %}' media='screen' rel='stylesheet' />
        <link href='{{ STATIC_URL }}dashboard/css/custom.css' media='screen' rel='stylesheet' />
        ...
  7. Restart Apache:

    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    # systemctl restart httpd
  8. To view your changes simply reload your dashboard. If necessary go back and modify your CSS file as appropriate.

Setting this value to False will enable the mapping for even the default LDAP driver. It is only safe to do this if you do not already have assignments for users and groups from the default LDAP domain, and it is acceptable for Keystone to provide the different IDs to clients than it did previously. Typically this means that the only time you can set this value to False is when configuring a fresh installation.

7.2.5. Domain-specific configuration

The Identity service enables you to configure domain-specific authentication drivers. For example, you can configure a domain to have its own LDAP or SQL server.
By default, the option to configure domain-specific drivers is disabled.
To enable domain-specific drivers, set these options in the [identity] section in the keystone.conf file:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
[identity]
domain_specific_drivers_enabled = True
domain_config_dir = /etc/keystone/domains
When you enable domain-specific drivers, the Identity service looks in the domain_config_dir directory for configuration files that are named as follows: keystone.DOMAIN_NAME.conf, where DOMAIN_NAME is the domain name.
Any options that you define in the domain-specific configuration file override options in the primary configuration file for the specified domain. Any domain without a domain-specific configuration file uses only the options in the primary configuration file.

Chapter 8. Image service

Compute relies on an external image service to store virtual machine images and maintain a catalog of available images. By default, Compute is configured to use the OpenStack Image service (glance), which is currently the only supported image service.
If your installation requires euca2ools to register new images, you must run the nova-objectstore service. This service provides an Amazon S3 front-end for Image service, which is required by euca2ools.
To customize the Compute service, use the configuration option settings documented in Table 3.27, “Description of glance configuration options” and Table 3.47, “Description of S3 configuration options”.
You can modify many options in the OpenStack Image service. The following tables provide a comprehensive list.

8.3. Configure Image Cache

You can configure the Image service API to have a local image cache. Caching of image files is transparent and can be performed by modifying some configuration parameters.
These parameters are configured in the PasteDeploy configuration file, component-paste.ini. You should not generally edit this file directly, as it ships with default options for all common deployment flavors.

8.3.1. Enable the Image Cache

To enable the image cache parameters, the cache parameters must occur in the application pipeline after the appropriate context parameters.
The cache parameters should be in your glance-api-paste.ini in a section titled [filter:cache]. It should look like this:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
[filter:cache]
paste.filter_factory = glance.api.middleware.cache:CacheFilter.factory
A ready-made application parameter including this filter is defined in the glance-api-paste.ini file as follows:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
[pipeline:glance-api-caching]
pipeline = versionnegotiation context cache apiv1app
To enable the above application parameter, in your main glance-api.conf configuration file, select the appropriate deployment flavor as follows:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
[paste_deploy]
flavor = caching

8.3.2. Enable the Image Cache Management

There is an optional cachemanage option that allows you to directly interact with cache images. Use this flavor in place of the cache flavor in your API config file.
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
[paste_deploy]
flavor = cachemanage

8.3.3. Configuration Options Affecting the Image Cache

These configuration options must be set in both the glance-cache and glance-api configuration files.
Table 8.23. Description of Image Cache configuration options
Configuration option = Default value Description
image_cache_dir = /var/lib/glance/image-cache Required when image cache middleware is enabled. This is the base directory the image cache can write files to. Make sure the directory is writable by the user running the glance-api server.
image_cache_driver = sqlite (Optional) The default sqlite cache driver has no special dependencies, other than the python-sqlite3 library, which is installed on almost all operating systems with modern versions of Python. It stores information about the cached files in a SQLite database.
The xattr cache driver requires the python-xattr>=0.6.0 library and requires that the filesystem containing image_cache_dir has access times tracked for all files (in other words, the noatime option CANNOT be set for that filesystem). In addition, user_xattr must be set on the filesystem’s description line in fstab.
image_cache_sqlite_db = cache.db (Optional) When using the sqlite cache driver, you can set the name of the database that will be used to store the cached images information. The database is always contained in the image_cache_dir .
image_cache_max_size = 10737418240 (10 GB) (Optional) Size, in bytes, that the image cache should be constrained to. Images files are cached automatically in the local image cache, even if the writing of that image file would put the total cache size over this size. The glance-cache-pruner executable is what prunes the image cache to be equal to or less than this value. The glance-cache-pruner executable is designed to be run via cron on a regular basis.

8.4. Support for ISO images

You can load ISO images into the Image service. You can subsequently boot an ISO image using Compute.

Procedure 8.1. To load an ISO image to an Image service data store

  1. In the Image service, run the following command:
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    $ glance image-create --name "rhel-server-7.0.iso" 
    --copy-from https://access.redhat.com/downloads/content/69/ver=/rhel---7/7.0/x86_64/product-downloads/rhel-server-7.0-x86_64-dvd.iso --is-public True --container-format bare --disk-format iso
    In this command, rhel-server-7.0.iso is the name for the ISO image after it is loaded to the Image service, and rhel-server-7.0-x86_64-dvd.iso is the name of the source ISO image.
  2. Optionally, to confirm the upload in Image service (glance), run this command:
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    $ glance image-list

Procedure 8.2. To boot an instance from an ISO image

OpenStack supports booting instances using ISO images, but in order to make the instances created using ISO images functional, follow a few more steps:
  1. Boot instance with ISO image using the following command:
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    $ nova boot 
    --image rhel-server-7.0-x86_64-dvd.iso 
    --block-device source=blank,dest=volume,size=10,shutdown=preserve 
    --nic net-id=NETWORK_UUID --flavor 3 INSTANCE_NAME
    In this command, rhel-server-7.0.iso is the ISO image, and INSTANCE_NAME is the name of the new instance. NETWORK_UUID is a valid network id in your system
    You will need Block Storage service and setting the parameter shutdown=preserve will preserve the volume even after the shutting down an instance.
  2. After the instance is successfully launched, connect to the instance using remote console and follow the instructions to install the system as using ISO images on regular computers. When the installation is complete and system reboots, the instance prompts you to install the operating system, which implies your instance is not usable.

Procedure 8.3. To make an instance that was booted from an ISO image functional

Run the following commands to ensure the instances you created using ISO images are functional:
  1. Delete the instance you just created:
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    $ nova delete INSTANCE_NAME
  2. After you delete an instance, the system you just installed using your ISO image remains because the parameter shutdown=preserve was set, run the following command:
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    $ cinder list
    You get a list with all the volumes in your system. In this list, you can find the volume that is attached to your ISO created instance, with the false bootable property.
  3. Upload the volume to glance:
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    $ cinder upload-to-image VOLUME_UUID IMAGE_NAME
    The VOLUME_UUID is the uuid of the volume that is attached to your ISO created instance, and the IMAGE_NAME is the name that you give to your new image.
  4. After the image is successfully uploaded, you can now use the new image to boot instances, the instance launched using this image will contain the system you just installed using the ISO image.

8.5. Configure back ends

The Image service supports several back ends for storing virtual machine images:
  • OpenStack Block Storage (cinder)
  • A directory on a local file system
  • GridFS
  • Ceph RBD
  • Amazon S3
  • Sheepdog

[DEFAULT] metaonly = False (BoolOpt) Only replicate metadata, not images.
[DEFAULT] public_endpoint = None (StrOpt) Public url to use for versions endpoint. The default is None, which will use the request's host_url attribute to populate the URL base. If Glance is operating behind a proxy, you will want to change this to represent the proxy's URL.
[DEFAULT] slavetoken = (StrOpt) Pass in your authentication token if you have one. This is the token used for the slave.
[DEFAULT] syslog-log-facility = LOG_USER (StrOpt) Syslog facility to receive log lines.
[DEFAULT] token = (StrOpt) Pass in your authentication token if you have one. If you use this option the same token is used for both the master and the slave.

9.1.1. Networking plug-ins

OpenStack Networking introduces the concept of a plug-in, which is a back-end implementation of the OpenStack Networking API. A plug-in can use a variety of technologies to implement the logical API requests. Some OpenStack Networking plug-ins might use basic Linux VLANs and IP tables, while others might use more advanced technologies, such as L2-in-L3 tunneling or OpenFlow. These sections detail the configuration options for the various plug-ins.
Note
The following plugins have been removed in Kilo:
  • Ryu plugin. The Ryu team recommends that you migrate to the ML2 plugin with the ofagent mechanism driver. However, note that the functionality is not the same. There is no upgrade procedure currently available.
  • Mellanox plugin.

9.1.1.12. Modular Layer 2 (ml2) configuration options
The Modular Layer 2 (ml2) plug-in has two components: network types and mechanisms. You can configure these components separately. This section describes these configuration options.
Configure MTU for VXLAN tunnelling
Specific MTU configuration is necessary for VXLAN to function as expected:
  • One option is to increase the MTU value of the physical interface and physical switch fabric by at least 50 bytes. For example, increase the MTU value to 1550. This value enables an automatic 50-byte MTU difference between the physical interface (1500) and the VXLAN interface (automatically 1500-50 = 1450). An MTU value of 1450 causes issues when virtual machine taps are configured at an MTU value of 1500.
  • Another option is to decrease the virtual Ethernet devices' MTU. Set the network_device_mtu option to 1450 in the neutron.conf file, and set all guest virtual machines' MTU to the same value by using a DHCP option. For information about MTU settings, see the Networking Guide.

9.1.2. Configure the Oslo RPC messaging system

OpenStack projects use an open standard for messaging middleware known as AMQP. This messaging middleware enables the OpenStack services that run on multiple servers to talk to each other. OpenStack Oslo RPC supports two implementations of AMQP: RabbitMQ and Qpid.
9.1.2.1. Configure RabbitMQ
OpenStack Oslo RPC uses RabbitMQ by default. Use these options to configure the RabbitMQ message system. The rpc_backend option is optional as long as RabbitMQ is the default messaging system. However, if it is included the configuration, you must set it to neutron.openstack.common.rpc.impl_kombu.
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
rpc_backend=neutron.openstack.common.rpc.impl_kombu
Use these options to configure the RabbitMQ messaging system. You can configure messaging communication for different installation scenarios, tune retries for RabbitMQ, and define the size of the RPC thread pool. To monitor notifications through RabbitMQ, you must set the notification_driver option to neutron.openstack.common.notifier.rpc_notifier in the neutron.conf file:

Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
rpc_backend=neutron.openstack.common.rpc.impl_qpid
This critical option points the compute nodes to the Qpid broker (server). Set the qpid_hostname option to the host name where the broker runs in the neutron.conf file.
Note
The --qpid_hostname parameter accepts a host name or IP address value.
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
qpid_hostname=hostname.example.com
If the Qpid broker listens on a port other than the AMQP default of 5672, you must set the qpid_port option to that value:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
qpid_port=12345
If you configure the Qpid broker to require authentication, you must add a user name and password to the configuration:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Warning
Do not run the neutron-ns-metadata-proxy proxy namespace as root on a node with the L3 agent running. In OpenStack Kilo and newer, you can change the permissions of neutron-ns-metadata-proxy after the proxy installation using the metadata_proxy_user and metadata_proxy_group options.

firewall_driver = None (StrOpt) Driver for security groups firewall in the L2 agent
security_bridge_mapping = br-sec (StrOpt) <security_bridge>:<phy_interface>
Note
Now Networking uses iptables to achieve security group functions. In L2 agent with enable_ipset option enabled, it makes use of IPset to improve security group's performance, as it represents a hash set which is insensitive to the number of elements.
When a port is created, L2 agent will add an additional IPset chain to it's iptables chain, if the security group that this port belongs to has rules between other security group, the member of that security group will be added to the ipset chain.
If a member of a security group is changed, it used to reload iptables rules which is expensive. However, when IPset option is enabled on L2 agent, it does not need to reload iptables if only members of security group were changed, it should just update an IPset.
Note
A single default security group has been introduced in order to avoid race conditions when creating a tenant's default security group. The race conditions are caused by the uniqueness check of a new security group name. A table default_security_group implements such a group. It has tenant_id field as a primary key and security_group_id, which is an identifier of a default security group. The migration that introduces this table has a sanity check that verifies if a default security group is not duplicated in any tenant.

9.4. New, updated and deprecated options in Kilo for OpenStack Networking

Table 9.64. New options
Option = default value (Type) Help string
[DEFAULT] advertise_mtu = False (BoolOpt) If True, effort is made to advertise MTU settings to VMs via network methods (DHCP and RA MTU options) when the network's preferred MTU is known.
[DEFAULT] allow_automatic_dhcp_failover = True (BoolOpt) Automatically remove networks from offline DHCP agents.
[DEFAULT] conn_idle_timeout = 900 (IntOpt) Reconnect connection to nsx if not used within this amount of time.
[DEFAULT] default_ipv4_subnet_pool = None (StrOpt) Default IPv4 subnet-pool to be used for automatic subnet CIDR allocation
[DEFAULT] default_ipv6_subnet_pool = None (StrOpt) Default IPv6 subnet-pool to be used for automatic subnet CIDR allocation
[DEFAULT] dhcp_broadcast_reply = False (BoolOpt) Use broadcast in DHCP replies
[DEFAULT] dhcp_load_type = networks (StrOpt) Represents the resource type whose load is being reported by the agent. This can be 'networks', 'subnets' or 'ports'. When specified (default is 'networks'), the server will extract the particular load sent as part of its agent configuration object from the agent report state, which is the number of resources being consumed. 'report_interval.dhcp_load_type' can be used in combination with 'network_scheduler_driver = neutron.scheduler.dhcp_agent_scheduler.WeightScheduler'. When the 'network_scheduler_driver' is 'WeightScheduler', 'dhcp_load_type' can be configured to represent the choice for the resource being balanced. For example: 'dhcp_load_type=networks'.
[DEFAULT] enable_services_on_agents_with_admin_state_down = False (BoolOpt) Enable services on an agent with admin_state_up False. If this option is False, when admin_state_up of an agent is turned False, services on it will be disabled. Agents with admin_state_up False are not selected for automatic scheduling regardless of this option. But manual scheduling to such agents is available if this option is True.
[DEFAULT] external_ingress_mark = 0x2 (StrOpt) Iptables mangle mark used to mark ingress from external network
[DEFAULT] ipv6_gateway = (StrOpt) With IPv6, the network used for the external gateway does not need to have an associated subnet, since the automatically assigned link-local address (LLA) can be used. However, an IPv6 gateway address is needed for use as the next-hop for the default route. If no IPv6 gateway address is configured here, (and only then) the neutron router will be configured to get its default route from router advertisements (RAs) from the upstream router; in which case the upstream router must also be configured to send these RAs. The ipv6_gateway, when configured, should be the LLA of the interface on the upstream router. If a next-hop using a global unique address (GUA) is desired, it needs to be done via a subnet allocated to the network and not through this parameter.
[DEFAULT] log-config-append = None (StrOpt) The name of a logging configuration file. This file is appended to any existing logging configuration files. For details about logging configuration files, see the Python logging module documentation.
[DEFAULT] log-date-format = %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S (StrOpt) Format string for %%(asctime)s in log records. Default: %(default)s .
[DEFAULT] log-dir = None (StrOpt) (Optional) The base directory used for relative --log-file paths.
[DEFAULT] log-file = None (StrOpt) (Optional) Name of log file to output to. If no default is set, logging will go to stdout.
[DEFAULT] log-format = None (StrOpt) DEPRECATED. A logging.Formatter log message format string which may use any of the available logging.LogRecord attributes. This option is deprecated. Please use logging_context_format_string and logging_default_format_string instead.
[DEFAULT] metadata_access_mark = 0x1 (StrOpt) Iptables mangle mark used to mark metadata valid requests
[DEFAULT] metadata_proxy_group = (StrOpt) Group (gid or name) running metadata proxy after its initialization (if empty: agent effective group).
[DEFAULT] metadata_proxy_socket_mode = deduce (StrOpt) Metadata Proxy UNIX domain socket mode, 3 values allowed: 'deduce': deduce mode from metadata_proxy_user/group values, 'user': set metadata proxy socket mode to 0o644, to use when metadata_proxy_user is agent effective user or root, 'group': set metadata proxy socket mode to 0o664, to use when metadata_proxy_group is agent effective group or root, 'all': set metadata proxy socket mode to 0o666, to use otherwise.
[DEFAULT] metadata_proxy_user = (StrOpt) User (uid or name) running metadata proxy after its initialization (if empty: agent effective user).
[DEFAULT] metadata_proxy_watch_log = None (BoolOpt) Enable/Disable log watch by metadata proxy. It should be disabled when metadata_proxy_user/group is not allowed to read/write its log file and copytruncate logrotate option must be used if logrotate is enabled on metadata proxy log files. Option default value is deduced from metadata_proxy_user: watch log is enabled if metadata_proxy_user is agent effective user id/name.
[DEFAULT] nova_admin_tenant_name = None (StrOpt) The name of the admin nova tenant. Deprecated in favour of an auth plugin in [nova].
[DEFAULT] policy_default_rule = default (StrOpt) Default rule. Enforced when a requested rule is not found.
[DEFAULT] policy_dirs = ['policy.d'] (MultiStrOpt) Directories where policy configuration files are stored. They can be relative to any directory in the search path defined by the config_dir option, or absolute paths. The file defined by policy_file must exist for these directories to be searched. Missing or empty directories are ignored.
[DEFAULT] syslog-log-facility = LOG_USER (StrOpt) Syslog facility to receive log lines.
[DEFAULT] use-syslog = False (BoolOpt) Use syslog for logging. Existing syslog format is DEPRECATED during I, and will change in J to honor RFC5424.
[DEFAULT] use-syslog-rfc-format = False (BoolOpt) (Optional) Enables or disables syslog rfc5424 format for logging. If enabled, prefixes the MSG part of the syslog message with APP-NAME (RFC5424). The format without the APP-NAME is deprecated in I, and will be removed in J.
[DEFAULT] vlan_transparent = False (BoolOpt) If True, then allow plugins that support it to create VLAN transparent networks.
[AGENT] check_child_processes_action = respawn (StrOpt) Action to be executed when a child process dies
[AGENT] check_child_processes_interval = 60 (IntOpt) Interval between checks of child process liveness (seconds), use 0 to disable
[AGENT] comment_iptables_rules = True (BoolOpt) Add comments to iptables rules.
[AGENT] prevent_arp_spoofing = False (BoolOpt) Enable suppression of ARP responses that don't match an IP address that belongs to the port from which they originate. Note: This prevents the VMs attached to this agent from spoofing, it doesn't protect them from other devices which have the capability to spoof (e.g. bare metal or VMs attached to agents without this flag set to True). Spoofing rules will not be added to any ports that have port security disabled. This requires a version of OVS that supports matching ARP headers.
[AGENT] root_helper_daemon = None (StrOpt) Root helper daemon application to use when possible.
[AGENT] use_helper_for_ns_read = True (BoolOpt) Use the root helper to read the namespaces from the operating system.

Chapter 10. Object Storage

OpenStack Object Storage uses multiple configuration files for multiple services and background daemons, and paste.deploy to manage server configurations. Default configuration options appear in the [DEFAULT] section. You can override the default values by setting values in the other sections.

10.1. Introduction to Object Storage

Object Storage is a robust, highly scalable and fault tolerant storage platform for unstructured data such as objects. Objects are stored bits, accessed through a RESTful, HTTP-based interface. You cannot access data at the block or file level. Object Storage is commonly used to archive and back up data, with use cases in virtual machine image, photo, video and music storage.
Object Storage provides a high degree of availability, throughput, and performance with its scale out architecture. Each object is replicated across multiple servers, residing within the same data center or across data centers, which mitigates the risk of network and hardware failure. In the event of hardware failure, Object Storage will automatically copy objects to a new location to ensure that there are always three copies available. Object Storage is an eventually consistent distributed storage platform; it sacrifices consistency for maximum availability and partition tolerance. Object Storage enables you to create a reliable platform by using commodity hardware and inexpensive storage.

10.2. Object Storage general service configuration

Most Object Storage services fall into two categories: Object Storage WSGI servers and background daemons.
Object Storage uses paste.deploy to manage server configurations. Read more at http://pythonpaste.org/deploy/.
Default configuration options are set in the `[DEFAULT]` section, and any options specified there can be overridden in any of the other sections when the syntax set option_name = value is in place.
Configuration for servers and daemons can be expressed together in the same file for each type of server, or separately. If a required section for the service trying to start is missing, there will be an error. Sections not used by the service are ignored.
Consider the example of an Object Storage node. By convention configuration for the object-server, object-updater, object-replicator, and object-auditor exist in a single file /etc/swift/object-server.conf:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
[DEFAULT]

[pipeline:main]
pipeline = object-server

[app:object-server]
use = egg:swift#object

[object-replicator]
reclaim_age = 259200

[object-updater]

[object-auditor]
Object Storage services expect a configuration path as the first argument:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
$ swift-object-auditor
Usage: swift-object-auditor CONFIG [options]

Error: missing config path argument
If you omit the object-auditor section, this file cannot be used as the configuration path when starting the swift-object-auditor daemon:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
$ swift-object-auditor /etc/swift/object-server.conf
Unable to find object-auditor config section in /etc/swift/object-server.conf
If the configuration path is a directory instead of a file, all of the files in the directory with the file extension ".conf" will be combined to generate the configuration object which is delivered to the Object Storage service. This is referred to generally as "directory-based configuration".
Directory-based configuration leverages ConfigParser's native multi-file support. Files ending in ".conf" in the given directory are parsed in lexicographical order. File names starting with '.' are ignored. A mixture of file and directory configuration paths is not supported - if the configuration path is a file, only that file will be parsed.
The Object Storage service management tool swift-init has adopted the convention of looking for /etc/swift/{type}-server.conf.d/ if the file /etc/swift/{type}-server.conf file does not exist.
When using directory-based configuration, if the same option under the same section appears more than once in different files, the last value parsed is said to override previous occurrences. You can ensure proper override precedence by prefixing the files in the configuration directory with numerical values, as in the following example file layout:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
/etc/swift/
    default.base
    object-server.conf.d/
        000_default.conf -> ../default.base
        001_default-override.conf
        010_server.conf
        020_replicator.conf
        030_updater.conf
        040_auditor.conf
You can inspect the resulting combined configuration object using the swift-config command-line tool.
All the services of an Object Store deployment share a common configuration in the [swift-hash] section of the /etc/swift/swift.conf file. The swift_hash_path_suffix and swift_hash_path_prefix values must be identical on all the nodes.
Table 10.1. Description of configuration options for [swift-hash] in swift.conf
Configuration option = Default value Description
swift_hash_path_prefix = changeme A prefix used by hash_path to offer a bit more security when generating hashes for paths. It simply appends this value to all paths; if someone knows this suffix, it's easier for them to guess the hash a path will end up with. New installations are advised to set this parameter to a random secret, which would not be disclosed ouside the organization. The same secret needs to be used by all swift servers of the same cluster. Existing installations should set this parameter to an empty string.
swift_hash_path_suffix = changeme A suffix used by hash_path to offer a bit more security when generating hashes for paths. It simply appends this value to all paths; if someone knows this suffix, it's easier for them to guess the hash a path will end up with. New installations are advised to set this parameter to a random secret, which would not be disclosed ouside the organization. The same secret needs to be used by all swift servers of the same cluster. Existing installations should set this parameter to an empty string.

# Each section name is the name of a sync realm. A sync realm is a set of
# clusters that have agreed to allow container syncing with each other. Realm
# names will be considered case insensitive.
#
# The key is the overall cluster-to-cluster key used in combination with the
# external users' key that they set on their containers' X-Container-Sync-Key
# metadata header values. These keys will be used to sign each request the
# container sync daemon makes and used to validate each incoming container sync
# request.
#
# The key2 is optional and is an additional key incoming requests will be
# checked against. This is so you can rotate keys if you wish; you move the
# existing key to key2 and make a new key value.
#
# Any values in the realm section whose names begin with cluster_ will indicate
# the name and endpoint of a cluster and will be used by external users in
# their containers' X-Container-Sync-To metadata header values with the format
# "realm_name/cluster_name/container_name". Realm and cluster names are
# considered case insensitive.
#
# The endpoint is what the container sync daemon will use when sending out
# requests to that cluster. Keep in mind this endpoint must be reachable by all
# container servers, since that is where the container sync daemon runs. Note
# the the endpoint ends with /v1/ and that the container sync daemon will then

By increasing the number of workers to a much higher value, one can reduce the impact of slow file system operations in one request from negatively impacting other requests.

write_affinity = r1, r2 This setting lets you trade data distribution for throughput. It makes the proxy server prefer local back-end servers for object PUT requests over non-local ones. Note that only object PUT requests are affected by the write_affinity setting; POST, GET, HEAD, DELETE, OPTIONS, and account/container PUT requests are not affected. The format is r<N> for region N or r<N>z<M> for region N, zone M. If this is set, then when handling an object PUT request, some number (see the write_affinity_node_count setting) of local backend servers will be tried before any nonlocal ones. Example: try to write to regions 1 and 2 before writing to any other nodes: write_affinity = r1, r2
write_affinity_node_count = 2 * replicas This setting is only useful in conjunction with write_affinity; it governs how many local object servers will be tried before falling back to non-local ones. You can use '* replicas' at the end to have it use the number given times the number of replicas for the ring being used for the request: write_affinity_node_count = 2 * replicas

10.12. Configure Object Storage features

10.12.1. Object Storage zones

In OpenStack Object Storage, data is placed across different tiers of failure domains. First, data is spread across regions, then zones, then servers, and finally across drives. Data is placed to get the highest failure domain isolation. If you deploy multiple regions, the Object Storage service places the data across the regions. Within a region, each replica of the data should be stored in unique zones, if possible. If there is only one zone, data should be placed on different servers. And if there is only one server, data should be placed on different drives.
Regions are widely separated installations with a high-latency or otherwise constrained network link between them. Zones are arbitrarily assigned, and it is up to the administrator of the Object Storage cluster to choose an isolation level and attempt to maintain the isolation level through appropriate zone assignment. For example, a zone may be defined as a rack with a single power source. Or a zone may be a DC room with a common utility provider. Servers are identified by a unique IP/port. Drives are locally attached storage volumes identified by mount point.
In small clusters (five nodes or fewer), everything is normally in a single zone. Larger Object Storage deployments may assign zone designations differently; for example, an entire cabinet or rack of servers may be designated as a single zone to maintain replica availability if the cabinet becomes unavailable (for example, due to failure of the top of rack switches or a dedicated circuit). In very large deployments, such as service provider level deployments, each zone might have an entirely autonomous switching and power infrastructure, so that even the loss of an electrical circuit or switching aggregator would result in the loss of a single replica at most.

10.12.2. RAID controller configuration

OpenStack Object Storage does not require RAID. In fact, most RAID configurations cause significant performance degradation. The main reason for using a RAID controller is the battery-backed cache. It is very important for data integrity reasons that when the operating system confirms a write has been committed that the write has actually been committed to a persistent location. Most disks lie about hardware commits by default, instead writing to a faster write cache for performance reasons. In most cases, that write cache exists only in non-persistent memory. In the case of a loss of power, this data may never actually get committed to disk, resulting in discrepancies that the underlying file system must handle.
OpenStack Object Storage works best on the XFS file system, and this document assumes that the hardware being used is configured appropriately to be mounted with the nobarriers option. For more information, refer to the XFS FAQ: http://xfs.org/index.php/XFS_FAQ
To get the most out of your hardware, it is essential that every disk used in OpenStack Object Storage is configured as a standalone, individual RAID 0 disk; in the case of 6 disks, you would have six RAID 0s or one JBOD. Some RAID controllers do not support JBOD or do not support battery backed cache with JBOD. To ensure the integrity of your data, you must ensure that the individual drive caches are disabled and the battery backed cache in your RAID card is configured and used. Failure to configure the controller properly in this case puts data at risk in the case of sudden loss of power.
You can also use hybrid drives or similar options for battery backed up cache configurations without a RAID controller.

10.12.3. Throttle resources through rate limits

Rate limiting in OpenStack Object Storage is implemented as a pluggable middleware that you configure on the proxy server. Rate limiting is performed on requests that result in database writes to the account and container SQLite databases. It uses memcached and is dependent on the proxy servers having highly synchronized time. The rate limits are limited by the accuracy of the proxy server clocks.
10.12.3.1. Configure rate limiting
All configuration is optional. If no account or container limits are provided, no rate limiting occurs. Available configuration options include:
Table 10.67. Description of configuration options for [filter-ratelimit] in proxy-server.conf
Configuration option = Default value Description
account_blacklist = c,d Comma separated lists of account names that will not be allowed. Returns a 497 response. r: for containers of size x, limit requests per second to r. Will limit PUT, DELETE, and POST requests to /a/c/o. container_listing_ratelimit_x = r: for containers of size x, limit listing requests per second to r. Will limit GET requests to /a/c.
account_ratelimit = 0 If set, will limit PUT and DELETE requests to /account_name/container_name. Number is in requests per second.
account_whitelist = a,b Comma separated lists of account names that will not be rate limited.
clock_accuracy = 1000 Represents how accurate the proxy servers' system clocks are with each other. 1000 means that all the proxies' clock are accurate to each other within 1 millisecond. No ratelimit should be higher than the clock accuracy.
container_listing_ratelimit_0 = 100 No help text available for this option.
container_listing_ratelimit_10 = 50 No help text available for this option.
container_listing_ratelimit_50 = 20 No help text available for this option.
container_ratelimit_0 = 100 No help text available for this option.
container_ratelimit_10 = 50 No help text available for this option.
container_ratelimit_50 = 20 No help text available for this option.
log_sleep_time_seconds = 0 To allow visibility into rate limiting set this value > 0 and all sleeps greater than the number will be logged.
max_sleep_time_seconds = 60 App will immediately return a 498 response if the necessary sleep time ever exceeds the given max_sleep_time_seconds.
rate_buffer_seconds = 5 Number of seconds the rate counter can drop and be allowed to catch up (at a faster than listed rate). A larger number will result in larger spikes in rate but better average accuracy.
set log_address = /dev/log Location where syslog sends the logs to
set log_facility = LOG_LOCAL0 Syslog log facility
set log_headers = false If True, log headers in each request
set log_level = INFO Log level
set log_name = ratelimit Label to use when logging
use = egg:swift#ratelimit Entry point of paste.deploy in the server
with container_limit_x = r No help text available for this option.
The container rate limits are linearly interpolated from the values given. A sample container rate limiting could be:
container_ratelimit_100 = 100
container_ratelimit_200 = 50
container_ratelimit_500 = 20
This would result in:
Table 10.68. Values for Rate Limiting with Sample Configuration Settings
Container Size Rate Limit
0-99 No limiting
100 100
150 75
500 20
1000 20

10.12.4. Health check

Provides an easy way to monitor whether the Object Storage proxy server is alive. If you access the proxy with the path /healthcheck, it responds with OK in the response body, which monitoring tools can use.
Table 10.69. Description of configuration options for [filter-healthcheck] in account-server.conf
Configuration option = Default value Description
disable_path = No help text available for this option.
use = egg:swift#healthcheck Entry point of paste.deploy in the server

10.12.5. Domain remap

Middleware that translates container and account parts of a domain to path parameters that the proxy server understands.
Table 10.70. Description of configuration options for [filter-domain_remap] in proxy-server.conf
Configuration option = Default value Description
path_root = v1 Root path
reseller_prefixes = AUTH Reseller prefix
set log_address = /dev/log Location where syslog sends the logs to
set log_facility = LOG_LOCAL0 Syslog log facility
set log_headers = false If True, log headers in each request
set log_level = INFO Log level
set log_name = domain_remap Label to use when logging
storage_domain = example.com Domain that matches your cloud. Multiple domains can be specified using a comma-separated list.
use = egg:swift#domain_remap Entry point of paste.deploy in the server

10.12.6. CNAME lookup

Middleware that translates an unknown domain in the host header to something that ends with the configured storage_domain by looking up the given domain's CNAME record in DNS.
Table 10.71. Description of configuration options for [filter-cname_lookup] in proxy-server.conf
Configuration option = Default value Description
lookup_depth = 1 Because CNAMES can be recursive, specifies the number of levels through which to search.
set log_address = /dev/log Location where syslog sends the logs to
set log_facility = LOG_LOCAL0 Syslog log facility
set log_headers = false If True, log headers in each request
set log_level = INFO Log level
set log_name = cname_lookup Label to use when logging
storage_domain = example.com Domain that matches your cloud. Multiple domains can be specified using a comma-separated list.
use = egg:swift#cname_lookup Entry point of paste.deploy in the server

10.12.7. Temporary URL

Allows the creation of URLs to provide temporary access to objects. For example, a website may wish to provide a link to download a large object in OpenStack Object Storage, but the Object Storage account has no public access. The website can generate a URL that provides GET access for a limited time to the resource. When the web browser user clicks on the link, the browser downloads the object directly from Object Storage, eliminating the need for the website to act as a proxy for the request. If the user shares the link with all his friends, or accidentally posts it on a forum, the direct access is limited to the expiration time set when the website created the link.
A temporary URL is the typical URL associated with an object, with two additional query parameters:
temp_url_sig
A cryptographic signature
temp_url_expires
An expiration date, in Unix time
An example of a temporary URL: Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    https://swift-cluster.example.com/v1/AUTH_a422b2-91f3-2f46-74b7-d7c9e8958f5d30/container/object?
    temp_url_sig=da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709&
    temp_url_expires=1323479485
To create temporary URLs, first set the X-Account-Meta-Temp-URL-Key header on your Object Storage account to an arbitrary string. This string serves as a secret key. For example, to set a key of b3968d0207b54ece87cccc06515a89d4 using the swift command-line tool:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
$ swift post -m "Temp-URL-Key:b3968d0207b54ece87cccc06515a89d4"
Next, generate an HMAC-SHA1 (RFC 2104) signature to specify:
  • Which HTTP method to allow (typically GET or PUT)
  • The expiry date as a Unix timestamp
  • The full path to the object
  • The secret key set as the X-Account-Meta-Temp-URL-Key
Here is code generating the signature for a GET for 24 hours on /v1/AUTH_account/container/object:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
import hmac
from hashlib import sha1
from time import time
method = 'GET'
duration_in_seconds = 60*60*24
expires = int(time() + duration_in_seconds)
path = '/v1/AUTH_a422b2-91f3-2f46-74b7-d7c9e8958f5d30/container/object'
key = 'mykey'
hmac_body = '%s\n%s\n%s' % (method, expires, path)
sig = hmac.new(key, hmac_body, sha1).hexdigest()
s = 'https://{host}/{path}?temp_url_sig={sig}&temp_url_expires={expires}'
url = s.format(host='swift-cluster.example.com', path=path, sig=sig, expires=expires)
Any alteration of the resource path or query arguments results in a 401 Unauthorized error. Similarly, a PUT where GET was the allowed method returns a 401. HEAD is allowed if GET or PUT is allowed. Using this in combination with browser form post translation middleware could also allow direct-from-browser uploads to specific locations in Object Storage.
Note
Changing the X-Account-Meta-Temp-URL-Key invalidates any previously generated temporary URLs within 60 seconds (the memcache time for the key). Object Storage supports up to two keys, specified by X-Account-Meta-Temp-URL-Key and X-Account-Meta-Temp-URL-Key-2. Signatures are checked against both keys, if present. This is to allow for key rotation without invalidating all existing temporary URLs.
Object Storage includes a script called swift-temp-url that generates the query parameters automatically:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
$ bin/swift-temp-url GET 3600 /v1/AUTH_account/container/object mykey
/v1/AUTH_account/container/object?
temp_url_sig=5c4cc8886f36a9d0919d708ade98bf0cc71c9e91&
temp_url_expires=1374497657
Because this command only returns the path, you must prefix the Object Storage host name (for example, https://swift-cluster.example.com).
With GET Temporary URLs, a Content-Disposition header is set on the response so that browsers interpret this as a file attachment to be saved. The file name chosen is based on the object name, but you can override this with a filename query parameter. The following example specifies a filename of My Test File.pdf:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
https://swift-cluster.example.com/v1/AUTH_a422b2-91f3-2f46-74b7-d7c9e8958f5d30/container/object?
temp_url_sig=da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709&
temp_url_expires=1323479485&
filename=My+Test+File.pdf
If you do not want the object to be downloaded, you can cause Content-Disposition: inline to be set on the response by adding the inline parameter to the query string, as follows:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
https://swift-cluster.example.com/v1/AUTH_account/container/object?
temp_url_sig=da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709&
temp_url_expires=1323479485&inline
To enable Temporary URL functionality, edit /etc/swift/proxy-server.conf to add tempurl to the pipeline variable defined in the [pipeline:main] section. The tempurl entry should appear immediately before the authentication filters in the pipeline, such as authtoken, tempauth or keystoneauth. For example: Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
[pipeline:main]
pipeline = pipeline = healthcheck cache tempurl authtoken keystoneauth proxy-server
Table 10.72. Description of configuration options for [filter-tempurl] in proxy-server.conf

10.12.8. Name Check filter

Name Check is a filter that disallows any paths that contain defined forbidden characters or that exceed a defined length.

use = egg:swift#name_check Entry point of paste.deploy in the server

10.12.9. Constraints

To change the OpenStack Object Storage internal limits, update the values in the swift-constraints section in the swift.conf file. Use caution when you update these values because they affect the performance in the entire cluster.
Table 10.74. Description of configuration options for [swift-constraints] in swift.conf
Configuration option = Default value Description
account_listing_limit = 10000 The default (and maximum) number of items returned for an account listing request.
container_listing_limit = 10000 The default (and maximum) number of items returned for a container listing request.
max_account_name_length = 256 The maximum number of bytes in the utf8 encoding of an account name.
max_container_name_length = 256 The maximum number of bytes in the utf8 encoding of a container name.
max_file_size = 5368709122 The largest normal object that can be saved in the cluster. This is also the limit on the size of each segment of a large object when using the large object manifest support. This value is set in bytes. Setting it to lower than 1MiB will cause some tests to fail. It is STRONGLY recommended to leave this value at the default (5 * 2**30 + 2).
max_header_size = 8192 The max number of bytes in the utf8 encoding of each header. Using 8192 as default because eventlet use 8192 as maximum size of header line. You may need to increase this value when using identity v3 API tokens including more than 7 catalog entries. See also include_service_catalog in proxy-server.conf-sample (documented in overview_auth.rst).
max_meta_count = 90 The max number of metadata keys that can be stored on a single account, container, or object.
max_meta_name_length = 128 The max number of bytes in the utf8 encoding of the name portion of a metadata header.
max_meta_overall_size = 4096 The max number of bytes in the utf8 encoding of the metadata (keys + values).
max_meta_value_length = 256 The max number of bytes in the utf8 encoding of a metadata value.
max_object_name_length = 1024 The max number of bytes in the utf8 encoding of an object name.
valid_api_versions = v0,v1,v2 No help text available for this option.

10.12.10. Cluster health

Use the swift-dispersion-report tool to measure overall cluster health. This tool checks if a set of deliberately distributed containers and objects are currently in their proper places within the cluster. For instance, a common deployment has three replicas of each object. The health of that object can be measured by checking if each replica is in its proper place. If only two of the three is in place, the object's health can be said to be at 66.66%, where 100% would be perfect. A single object's health, especially an older object, usually reflects the health of that entire partition the object is in. If you make enough objects on a distinct percentage of the partitions in the cluster, you get a good estimate of the overall cluster health. In practice, about 1% partition coverage seems to balance well between accuracy and the amount of time it takes to gather results. First, to provide this health value, create a new account solely for this usage. Next, place the containers and objects throughout the system so that they are on distinct partitions. The swift-dispersion-populate tool does this by making up random container and object names until they fall on distinct partitions. Last, and repeatedly for the life of the cluster, you must run the swift-dispersion-report tool to check the health of each of these containers and objects. These tools need direct access to the entire cluster and to the ring files (installing them on a proxy server suffices). The swift-dispersion-populate and swift-dispersion-report commands both use the same configuration file, /etc/swift/dispersion.conf. Example dispersion.conf file:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
[dispersion]
auth_url = http://localhost:8080/auth/v1.0
auth_user = test:tester
auth_key = testing
There are also configuration options for specifying the dispersion coverage, which defaults to 1%, retries, concurrency, and so on. However, the defaults are usually fine. Once the configuration is in place, run swift-dispersion-populate to populate the containers and objects throughout the cluster. Now that those containers and objects are in place, you can run swift-dispersion-report to get a dispersion report, or the overall health of the cluster. Here is an example of a cluster in perfect health:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
$ swift-dispersion-report
Queried 2621 containers for dispersion reporting, 19s, 0 retries
100.00% of container copies found (7863 of 7863)
Sample represents 1.00% of the container partition space

Queried 2619 objects for dispersion reporting, 7s, 0 retries
100.00% of object copies found (7857 of 7857)
Sample represents 1.00% of the object partition space
Now, deliberately double the weight of a device in the object ring (with replication turned off) and re-run the dispersion report to show what impact that has:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
$ swift-ring-builder object.builder set_weight d0 200
$ swift-ring-builder object.builder rebalance
...
$ swift-dispersion-report
Queried 2621 containers for dispersion reporting, 8s, 0 retries
100.00% of container copies found (7863 of 7863)
Sample represents 1.00% of the container partition space

Queried 2619 objects for dispersion reporting, 7s, 0 retries
There were 1763 partitions missing one copy.
77.56% of object copies found (6094 of 7857)
Sample represents 1.00% of the object partition space
You can see the health of the objects in the cluster has gone down significantly. Of course, this test environment has just four devices, in a production environment with many devices the impact of one device change is much less. Next, run the replicators to get everything put back into place and then rerun the dispersion report:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
... start object replicators and monitor logs until they're caught up ...
$ swift-dispersion-report
Queried 2621 containers for dispersion reporting, 17s, 0 retries
100.00% of container copies found (7863 of 7863)
Sample represents 1.00% of the container partition space

Queried 2619 objects for dispersion reporting, 7s, 0 retries
100.00% of object copies found (7857 of 7857)
Sample represents 1.00% of the object partition space
Alternatively, the dispersion report can also be output in JSON format. This allows it to be more easily consumed by third-party utilities:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
$ swift-dispersion-report -j
{"object": {"retries:": 0, "missing_two": 0, "copies_found": 7863, "missing_one": 0,
"copies_expected": 7863, "pct_found": 100.0, "overlapping": 0, "missing_all": 0}, "container":

10.12.11. Static Large Object (SLO) support

This feature is similar to Dynamic Large Object (DLO) support in that it enables the user to upload many objects concurrently and afterwards download them as a single object. It is different in that it does not rely on eventually consistent container listings to do so. Instead, a user-defined manifest of the object segments is used.

10.12.12. Container quotas

The container_quotas middleware implements simple quotas that can be imposed on Object Storage containers by a user with the ability to set container metadata, most likely the account administrator. This can be useful for limiting the scope of containers that are delegated to non-admin users, exposed to formpost uploads, or just as a self-imposed sanity check.
Any object PUT operations that exceed these quotas return a 403 response (forbidden).
Quotas are subject to several limitations: eventual consistency, the timeliness of the cached container_info (60 second TTL by default), and it is unable to reject chunked transfer uploads that exceed the quota (though once the quota is exceeded, new chunked transfers are refused).
Set quotas by adding meta values to the container. These values are validated when you set them:
  • X-Container-Meta-Quota-Bytes: Maximum size of the container, in bytes.
  • X-Container-Meta-Quota-Count: Maximum object count of the container.

Configuration option = Default value Description
use = egg:swift#container_quotas Entry point of paste.deploy in the server

10.12.13. Account quotas

The x-account-meta-quota-bytes metadata entry must be requests (PUT, POST) if a given account quota (in bytes) is exceeded while DELETE requests are still allowed.
The x-account-meta-quota-bytes metadata entry must be set to store and enable the quota. Write requests to this metadata entry are only permitted for resellers. There is no account quota limitation on a reseller account even if x-account-meta-quota-bytes is set.
Any object PUT operations that exceed the quota return a 413 response (request entity too large) with a descriptive body.
The following command uses an admin account that own the Reseller role to set a quota on the test account:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
$ swift -A http://127.0.0.1:8080/auth/v1.0 -U admin:admin -K admin \ --os-storage-url http://127.0.0.1:8080/v1/AUTH_test post -m quota-bytes:10000
Here is the stat listing of an account where quota has been set:

10.12.14. Bulk delete

Use bulk-delete to delete multiple files from an account with a single request. Responds to DELETE requests with a header 'X-Bulk-Delete: true_value'. The body of the DELETE request is a new line-separated list of files to delete. The files listed must be URL encoded and in the form:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    /container_name/obj_name
If all files are successfully deleted (or did not exist), the operation returns HTTPOk. If any files failed to delete, the operation returns HTTPBadGateway. In both cases, the response body is a JSON dictionary that shows the number of files that were successfully deleted or not found. The files that failed are listed.

10.12.16. Form post

Middleware that provides the ability to upload objects to a cluster using an HTML form POST. The format of the form is:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
<![CDATA[
<form action="<swift-url>" method="POST"
      enctype="multipart/form-data">
  <input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="<redirect-url>" />
  <input type="hidden" name="max_file_size" value="<bytes>" />
  <input type="hidden" name="max_file_count" value="<count>" />
  <input type="hidden" name="expires" value="<unix-timestamp>" />
  <input type="hidden" name="signature" value="<hmac>" />
  <input type="file" name="file1" /><br />
  <input type="submit" />
</form>]]>
The swift-url is the URL to the Object Storage destination, such as: https://swift-cluster.example.com/v1/AUTH_account/container/object_prefix The name of each file uploaded is appended to the specified swift-url. So, you can upload directly to the root of container with a URL like: https://swift-cluster.example.com/v1/AUTH_account/container/ Optionally, you can include an object prefix to better separate different users' uploads, such as: https://swift-cluster.example.com/v1/AUTH_account/container/object_prefix
Note
The form method must be POST and the enctype must be set as multipart/form-data.
The redirect attribute is the URL to redirect the browser to after the upload completes. The URL has status and message query parameters added to it, indicating the HTTP status code for the upload (2xx is success) and a possible message for further information if there was an error (such as "max_file_size exceeded").
The max_file_size attribute must be included and indicates the largest single file upload that can be done, in bytes.
The max_file_count attribute must be included and indicates the maximum number of files that can be uploaded with the form. Include additional <![CDATA[<input type="file" name="filexx"/>]]> attributes if desired.
The expires attribute is the Unix timestamp before which the form must be submitted before it is invalidated.
The signature attribute is the HMAC-SHA1 signature of the form. This sample Python code shows how to compute the signature:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
import hmac
from hashlib import sha1
from time import time
path = '/v1/account/container/object_prefix'
redirect = 'https://myserver.com/some-page'
max_file_size = 104857600
max_file_count = 10
expires = int(time() + 600)
key = 'mykey'
hmac_body = '%s\n%s\n%s\n%s\n%s' % (path, redirect,
    max_file_size, max_file_count, expires)
signature = hmac.new(key, hmac_body, sha1).hexdigest()
The key is the value of the X-Account-Meta-Temp-URL-Key header on the account.
Be certain to use the full path, from the /v1/ onward.
The command-line tool swift-form-signature may be used (mostly just when testing) to compute expires and signature.
The file attributes must appear after the other attributes to be processed correctly. If attributes come after the file, they are not sent with the sub-request because on the server side, all attributes in the file cannot be parsed unless the whole file is read into memory and the server does not have enough memory to service these requests. So, attributes that follow the file are ignored.

Configuration option = Default value Description
use = egg:swift#formpost Entry point of paste.deploy in the server

10.12.17. Static web sites

When configured, this middleware serves container data as a static web site with index file and error file resolution and optional file listings. This mode is normally only active for anonymous requests.
Table 10.81. Description of configuration options for [filter-staticweb] in proxy-server.conf
Configuration option = Default value Description
use = egg:swift#staticweb Entry point of paste.deploy in the server

10.12.18. Cross-origin resource sharing

Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) is a mechanism that allows code (JavaScript, for example) running in a browser to make requests to a domain, other than the one it was originated from. OpenStack Object Storage supports CORS requests to containers and objects within the containers using metadata held on the container.
In addition to the metadata on containers, you can use the cors_allow_origin option in the proxy-server.conf file to set a list of hosts that are included with any CORS request by default.

10.12.19. Endpoint listing middleware

The endpoint listing middleware enables third-party services that use data locality information to integrate with OpenStack Object Storage. This middleware reduces network overhead and is designed for third-party services that run inside the firewall. Deploy this middleware on a proxy server because usage of this middleware is not authenticated.
Format requests for endpoints, as follows:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
/endpoints/{account}/{container}/{object} /endpoints/{account}/{container} /endpoints/{account}
Use the list_endpoints_path configuration option in the proxy_server.conf file to customize the /endpoints/ path.
Responses are JSON-encoded lists of endpoints, as follows:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
http://{server}:{port}/{dev}/{part}/{acc}/{cont}/{obj}
http://{server}:{port}/{dev}/{part}/{acc}/{cont}
http://{server}:{port}/{dev}/{part}/{acc}
An example response is:

Chapter 11. Orchestration

The Orchestration service is designed to manage the lifecycle of infrastructure and applications within OpenStack clouds. Its various agents and services are configured in the /etc/heat/heat.conf file.
The following tables provide a comprehensive list of the Orchestration configuration options.
Table 11.1. Description of authorization token configuration options
Configuration option = Default value Description
[keystone_authtoken]
admin_password = None (StrOpt) Service user password.
admin_tenant_name = admin (StrOpt) Service tenant name.
admin_token = None (StrOpt) This option is deprecated and may be removed in a future release. Single shared secret with the Keystone configuration used for bootstrapping a Keystone installation, or otherwise bypassing the normal authentication process. This option should not be used, use `admin_user` and `admin_password` instead.

check_revocations_for_cached = False (BoolOpt) If true, the revocation list will be checked for cached tokens. This requires that PKI tokens are configured on the identity server.
delay_auth_decision = False (BoolOpt) Do not handle authorization requests within the middleware, but delegate the authorization decision to downstream WSGI components.
enforce_token_bind = permissive (StrOpt) Used to control the use and type of token binding. Can be set to: "disabled" to not check token binding. "permissive" (default) to validate binding information if the bind type is of a form known to the server and ignore it if not. "strict" like "permissive" but if the bind type is unknown the token will be rejected. "required" any form of token binding is needed to be allowed. Finally the name of a binding method that must be present in tokens.
hash_algorithms = md5 (ListOpt) Hash algorithms to use for hashing PKI tokens. This may be a single algorithm or multiple. The algorithms are those supported by Python standard hashlib.new(). The hashes will be tried in the order given, so put the preferred one first for performance. The result of the first hash will be stored in the cache. This will typically be set to multiple values only while migrating from a less secure algorithm to a more secure one.

If MAC, token data is authenticated (with HMAC) in the cache. If ENCRYPT, token data is encrypted and authenticated in the cache. If the value is not one of these options or empty, auth_token will raise an exception on initialization.
memcache_use_advanced_pool = False (BoolOpt) (Optional) Use the advanced (eventlet safe) memcache client pool. The advanced pool will only work under python 2.x.
revocation_cache_time = 10 (IntOpt) Determines the frequency at which the list of revoked tokens is retrieved from the Identity service (in seconds). A high number of revocation events combined with a low cache duration may significantly reduce performance.
signing_dir = None (StrOpt) Directory used to cache files related to PKI tokens.
token_cache_time = 300 (IntOpt) In order to prevent excessive effort spent validating tokens, the middleware caches previously-seen tokens for a configurable duration (in seconds). Set to -1 to disable caching completely.

11.3. Configure the RPC messaging system

OpenStack projects use an open standard for messaging middleware known as AMQP. This messaging middleware enables the OpenStack services that run on multiple servers to talk to each other. OpenStack Oslo RPC supports two implementations of AMQP: RabbitMQ and Qpid.

11.3.1. Configure RabbitMQ

OpenStack Oslo RPC uses RabbitMQ by default. Use these options to configure the RabbitMQ message system. The rpc_backend option is optional as long as RabbitMQ is the default messaging system. However, if it is included in the configuration, you must set it to heat.openstack.common.rpc.impl_kombu.
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
rpc_backend = heat.openstack.common.rpc.impl_kombu
Use these options to configure the RabbitMQ messaging system. You can configure messaging communication for different installation scenarios, tune retries for RabbitMQ, and define the size of the RPC thread pool. To monitor notifications through RabbitMQ, you must set the notification_driver option to heat.openstack.common.notifier.rpc_notifier in the heat.conf file:
Table 11.29. Description of RabbitMQ configuration options
Configuration option = Default value Description
[oslo_messaging_rabbit]
amqp_auto_delete = False (BoolOpt) Auto-delete queues in AMQP.

11.3.2. Configure Qpid

Use these options to configure the Qpid messaging system for OpenStack Oslo RPC. Qpid is not the default messaging system, so you must enable it by setting the rpc_backend option in the heat.conf file:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
rpc_backend=heat.openstack.common.rpc.impl_qpid
This critical option points the compute nodes to the Qpid broker (server). Set the qpid_hostname option to the host name where the broker runs in the heat.conf file.
Note
The qpid_hostname option accepts a host name or IP address value.
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
qpid_hostname = hostname.example.com
If the Qpid broker listens on a port other than the AMQP default of 5672, you must set the qpid_port option to that value:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
qpid_port = 12345
If you configure the Qpid broker to require authentication, you must add a user name and password to the configuration:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
qpid_username = username
qpid_password = password
By default, TCP is used as the transport. To enable SSL, set the qpid_protocol option:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
qpid_protocol = ssl
Use these additional options to configure the Qpid messaging driver for OpenStack Oslo RPC. These options are used infrequently.

Appendix A. The policy.json file

Note
The following functionality is limited to Nova API v2.0, and currently does not apply to Nova API v2.1.
Each OpenStack service, Identity, Compute, Networking and so on, has its own role-based access policies. They determine which user can access which objects in which way, and are defined in the service's policy.json file.
Whenever an API call to an OpenStack service is made, the service's policy engine uses the appropriate policy definitions to determine if the call can be accepted. Any changes to policy.json are effective immediately, which allows new policies to be implemented while the service is running.
A policy.json file is a text file in JSON (Javascript Object Notation) format. Each policy is defined by a one-line statement in the form "<target>" : "<rule>".
The policy target, also named "action", represents an API call like "start an instance" or "attach a volume".
Action names are usually qualified. Example: OpenStack Compute features API calls to list instances, volumes and networks. In /etc/nova/policy.json, these APIs are represented by compute:get_all, volume:get_all and network:get_all, respectively.
The mapping between API calls and actions is not generally documented.
The policy rule determines under which circumstances the API call is permitted. Usually this involves the user who makes the call (hereafter named the "API user") and often the object on which the API call operates. A typical rule checks if the API user is the object's owner.
Modifying the policy
While recipes for editing policy.json files are found on blogs, modifying the policy can have unexpected side effects and is not encouraged.

A.1. Examples

A simple rule might look like this: Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
"compute:get_all" : ""
The target is "compute:get_all", the "list all instances" API of the Compute service. The rule is an empty string meaning "always". This policy allows anybody to list instances.
You can also decline permission to use an API: Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
"compute:shelve": "!"
The exclamation mark stands for "never" or "nobody", which effectively disables the Compute API "shelve an instance".
Many APIs can only be called by admin users. This can be expressed by the rule "role:admin". The following policy ensures that only administrators can create new users in the Identity database: Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
"identity:create_user" : "role:admin"
You can limit APIs to any role. For example, the Orchestration service defines a role named heat_stack_user. Whoever has this role isn't allowed to create stacks: Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
"stacks:create": "not role:heat_stack_user"
This rule makes use of the boolean operator not. More complex rules can be built using operators and, or and parentheses.
You can define aliases for rules: Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
"deny_stack_user": "not role:heat_stack_user"
The policy engine understands that "deny_stack_user" is not an API and consequently interprets it as an alias. The stack creation policy above can then be written as: Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
"stacks:create": "rule:deny_stack_user"
This is taken verbatim from /etc/heat/policy.json.
Rules can compare API attributes to object attributes. For example: Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
"compute:start" : "user_id:%(user_id)s"
states that only the owner of an instance can start it up. The user_id string before the colon is an API attribute, namely the user ID of the API user. It is compared with the user ID of the object (in this case, an instance); more precisely, it is compared with the user_id field of that object in the database. If the two values are equal, permission is granted.
An admin user always has permission to call APIs. This is how /etc/keystone/policy.json makes this policy explicit: Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
"admin_required": "role:admin or is_admin:1",
"owner" : "user_id:%(user_id)s",
"admin_or_owner": "rule:admin_required or rule:owner",
"identity:change_password": "rule:admin_or_owner"
The first line defines an alias for "user is an admin user". The is_admin flag is only used when setting up the Identity service for the first time. It indicates that the user has admin privileges granted by the service token (--os-token parameter of the keystone command line client).
The second line creates an alias for "user owns the object" by comparing the API's user ID with the object's user ID.
Line 3 defines a third alias admin_or_owner, combining the two first aliases with the Boolean operator or.
Line 4 sets up the policy that a password can only be modified by its owner or an admin user.
As a final example, let's examine a more complex rule: Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
"identity:ec2_delete_credential": "rule:admin_required or
             (rule:owner and user_id:%(target.credential.user_id)s)"
This rule determines who can use the Identity API "delete EC2 credential". Here, boolean operators and parentheses combine three simpler rules. admin_required and owner are the same aliases as in the previous example. user_id:%(target.credential.user_id)s compares the API user with the user ID of the credential object associated with the target.

A.2. Syntax

A policy.json file consists of policies and aliases of the form target:rule or alias:definition, separated by commas and enclosed in curly braces: Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
 {
       "alias 1" : "definition 1",
       "alias 2" : "definition 2",
       ...
       "target 1" : "rule 1",
       "target 2" : "rule 2",
       ....
}
Targets are APIs and are written "service:API" or simply "API". For example, "compute:create" or "add_image".
Rules determine whether the API call is allowed.
Rules can be:
  • always true. The action is always permitted. This can be written as "" (empty string), [], or "@".
  • always false. The action is never permitted. Written as "!".
  • a special check
  • a comparison of two values
  • boolean expressions based on simpler rules
Special checks are
  • <role>:<role name>, a test whether the API credentials contain this role.
  • <rule>:<rule name>, the definition of an alias.
  • http:<target URL>, which delegates the check to a remote server. The API is authorized when the server returns True.
Developers can define additional special checks.
Two values are compared in the following way: Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
"value1 : value2"
Possible values are
  • constants: Strings, numbers, true, false
  • API attributes
  • target object attributes
  • the flag is_admin
API attributes can be project_id, user_id or domain_id.
Target object attributes are fields from the object description in the database. For example in the case of the "compute:start" API, the object is the instance to be started. The policy for starting instances could use the %(project_id)sattribute, that is the project that owns the instance. The trailing s indicates this is a string.
is_admin indicates that administrative privileges are granted via the admin token mechanism (the --os-token option of the keystone command). The admin token allows initialisation of the identity database before the admin role exists.
The alias construct exists for convenience. An alias is short name for a complex or hard to understand rule. It is defined in the same way as a policy: Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
alias name : alias definition
Once an alias is defined, use the rule keyword to use it in a policy rule.

A.3. Older syntax

You may encounter older policy.json files that feature a different syntax, where JavaScript arrays are used instead of boolean operators. For example, the EC2 credentials rule above would have been written as follows: Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
"identity:ec2_delete_credential": [ [ "rule:admin_required ],
             [ "rule:owner", "user_id:%(target.credential.user_id)s)" ] ]
The rule is an array of arrays. The innermost arrays are or'ed together, whereas elements inside the innermost arrays are and'ed.
While the old syntax is still supported, we recommend using the newer, more intuitive syntax.

Appendix B. Firewalls and default ports

On some deployments, such as ones where restrictive firewalls are in place, you might need to manually configure a firewall to permit OpenStack service traffic.
To manually configure a firewall, you must permit traffic through the ports that each OpenStack service uses. This table lists the default ports that each OpenStack service uses:
Table B.1. Default ports that OpenStack components use
OpenStack service Default ports Port type
Block Storage (cinder) 8776 publicurl and adminurl
Compute (nova) endpoints 8774 publicurl and adminurl
Compute API (nova-api) 8773, 8775
Compute ports for access to virtual machine consoles 5900-5999
Compute VNC proxy for browsers ( openstack-nova-novncproxy) 6080
Compute VNC proxy for traditional VNC clients (openstack-nova-xvpvncproxy) 6081
Proxy port for HTML5 console used by Compute service 6082
Data processing service (sahara) endpoint 8386 publicurl and adminurl
Identity service (keystone) administrative endpoint 35357 adminurl
Identity service public endpoint 5000 publicurl
Image service (glance) API 9292 publicurl and adminurl
Image service registry 9191
Networking (neutron) 9696 publicurl and adminurl
Object Storage (swift) 6000, 6001, 6002
Orchestration (heat) endpoint 8004 publicurl and adminurl
Orchestration AWS CloudFormation-compatible API (openstack-heat-api-cfn) 8000
Orchestration AWS CloudWatch-compatible API (openstack-heat-api-cloudwatch) 8003
Telemetry (ceilometer) 8777 publicurl and adminurl
To function properly, some OpenStack components depend on other, non-OpenStack services. For example, the OpenStack dashboard uses HTTP for non-secure communication. In this case, you must configure the firewall to allow traffic to and from HTTP.
This table lists the ports that other OpenStack components use:
Table B.2. Default ports that secondary services related to OpenStack components use
Service Default port Used by
HTTP 80 OpenStack dashboard (Horizon) when it is not configured to use secure access.
HTTP alternate 8080 OpenStack Object Storage (swift) service.
HTTPS 443 Any OpenStack service that is enabled for SSL, especially secure-access dashboard.
rsync 873 OpenStack Object Storage. Required.
iSCSI target 3260 OpenStack Block Storage. Required.
MySQL database service 3306 Most OpenStack components.
Message Broker (AMQP traffic) 5672 OpenStack Block Storage, Networking, Orchestration, and Compute.
On some deployments, the default port used by a service may fall within the defined local port range of a host. To check a host's local port range:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
$ sysctl -a | grep ip_local_port_range
If a service's default port falls within this range, run the following program to check if the port has already been assigned to another application:
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
$ lsof -i :PORT
Configure the service to use a different port if the default port is already being used by another application.
