Chapter 1. Deploying a Block Storage service custom back end
The Red Hat OpenStack Platform director installs and manages a complete, Enterprise-grade OpenStack deployment with minimal manual configuration. For more information about the director, see the Installing and managing Red Hat OpenStack Platform with director guide.
The Openstack environment that director creates is called the overcloud. The overcloud contains all the components that provide services to end users, including Block Storage. This document provides guidance about how to deploy a custom back end to the Block Storage service (cinder) on the overcloud. By default, the Block Storage service is installed on Controller nodes.
Prerequisites
- You have already deployed the overcloud with the director.
- The overcloud has a functioning Block Storage service.
- You are familiar with Block Storage concepts and configuration. For more information about Block Storage, see Block Storage and Volumes in the Configuring persistent storage guide.
This procedure has been tested successfully in limited use cases. Ensure that you test your planned deployment on a non-production environment first. If you have any questions, contact Red Hat support.
