Chapter 6. Testing your Fujitsu ETERNUS configuration

After you configure the Block Storage service to use the new ETERNUS back ends, declare a volume type for each back end. Use volume types to specify which back end to use when you create new volumes.

Create a Fibre Channel back end and map it to the respective back end with the following commands:

# cinder type-create FJFC
# cinder type-key FJFC set volume_backend_name=FJFC

Create an iSCSI back end and map it to the respective back end with the following commands:

# cinder type-create FJISCSI
# cinder type-key FJISCSI volume_backend_name=FJISCSI

For more information about volume types, see Chapter 4, Creating the Fujitsu ETERNUS environment file:

Create a 1GB iSCSI volume named test_iscsi to verify your configuration:

# cinder create --volume_type FJISCSI --display_name test_iscsi 1

Test the Fibre Channel back end:

# cinder create --volume_type FJFC --display_name test_fc 1
