Spectrum Scale Storage Backend for Cinder

Overview

This charm provides a Spectrum Scale storage backend for use with the Cinder charm; this allows a single Spectrum Scale storage cluster to be associated with a single Cinder deployment, potentially alongside other storage backends from other vendors.

To use:

juju deploy cinder
juju deploy ibm-spectrum-scale-client
juju deploy ibm-cinder-spectrumscale
juju add-relation ibm-cinder-spectrumscale ibm-spectrum-scale-client
juju add-relation ibm-cinder-spectrumscale cinder

The charm would be deployed and will wait for the GPFS mount point value from the user. To set this run the following command:

juju config ibm-cinder-spectrumscale gpfs_mount_point_base="path/to/the/mount/point"

Configuration

All the values in config.yaml file can be configured as shown below:

juju config ibm-cinder-spectrumscale gpfs_user_login="loginname"
juju config ibm-cinder-spectrumscale gpfs_images_dir="gpfsdirpath"

Configuration

gpfs_images_dir: (string) Specifies the path of the Image service repository in GPFS. Leave undefined if not storing images in GPFS.
gpfs_images_share_mode: (string) Specifies the type of image copy to be used. Set this when the Image service repository also uses GPFS so that image files can be transferred efficiently from the Image service to the Block Storage service. There are two valid values: "copy" specifies that a full copy of the image is made; "copy_on_write" specifies that copy-on-write optimization strategy is used and unmodified blocks of the image file are shared efficiently.
gpfs_mount_point_base: (string) Specifies the path of the GPFS directory where Block Storage volume and snapshot files are stored.
gpfs_private_key: (string) Filename of private key to use for SSH authentication; /var/lib/cinder/id_rsa
gpfs_sparse_volumes: (boolean) Specifies that volumes are created as sparse files which initially consume no space. If set to False, the volume is created as a fully allocated file, in which case, creation may take a significantly longer time.; True
gpfs_ssh_port: (int) SSH port to use; 22
gpfs_storage_pool: (string) Specifies the storage pool that volumes are assigned to. By default, the system storage pool is used.; system
gpfs_user_login: (string) Username for GPFS nodes; root
volume-driver: (string) This value denotes the volume driver value.; cinder.volume.drivers.ibm.gpfs.GPFSRemoteDriver
