14.5. Create the Shared File System Service Database


Create a database and database user for the Shared File System service. All steps must be performed on the database server, while logged in as the root user.

Procedure 14.2. Creating the Shared File System Service Database

  1. Connect to the database service:
    # mysql -u root
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  2. Create the manila database:
    mysql> CREATE DATABASE manila;
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  3. Create a manila database user and grant the user access to the manila database:
    mysql> GRANT ALL ON manila.* TO 'manila'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'MANILADBPASS';
    mysql> GRANT ALL ON manila.* TO 'manila'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'MANILADBPASS';
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    Replace MANILADBPASS with a secure password that the manila service can use to authenticate with the database server. You will use this same password later in Section 14.4, “Configure Basic Shared File System Service Settings”.
  4. Flush the database privileges to ensure that they take effect immediately:
    mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  5. Exit the mysql client:
    mysql> quit
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  6. Create the Shared File System service tables and apply all necessary migrations:
    # manila-manage db sync
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
