Part 3 Order storage and mount it in Openstack HERE
Part 2 Install Cinder Driver for EMC ViPR
This is the 2nd blog in a 3 part series that focus’s on using Openstack Cinder with EMC ViPR for block storage. This blog will focus on installing and configuring the EMC ViPR Cinder driver for Openstack Havana.
|
Download the EMC ViPR driver from GitHub. wget github.com/emcvipr/controller-openstack-cinder/archive/master.zip |
|
|
Unzip the master file unzip master |
|
|
Change directory into the controller-openstack-cinder-master/cinder/volume/drivers/emc directory |
|
|
Copy the vipr and sub directories to the Cinder driver directory cp –avr vipr /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/cinder/volume/drivers/emc |
|
|
Make a cookie directory for Cinder and give the cinder user permissions mkdir /usr/cookie chown cinder /usr/cookie |
|
|
Edit the cinder.conf file in the /etc/cinder directory. Add the above lines with the correct information for your deployment. |
|
|
While editing the cinder.conf file, serach for rpc_response_timeout. By default it will be commented out and its value will be 60. Uncomment it, and change the value to 300 Save your changes |
|
|
Run the following cinder commands using the correct url, username, password,and tenant for your environment. cinder --os-username admin --os-password password --os-tenant-name admin --os-auth-url=http://10.10.81.64:35357/v2.0 type-create vipr This add's the volume-type named vipr cinder --os-username admin --os-password password --os-tenant-name admin --os-auth-url=http://10.10.81.64:35357/v2.0 type-key VIPRID set ViPR:VPOOL=Openstack-Cinder This backs the volume type with the Openstack-Cinder Virtual pool |
|
|
Logon to the Horizon dashboard. Under volume types you should see the “vipr” type created in the last step |
|
|
From the ViPR cli directory run the following python command: python viprcli.py authenticate -u root -d /usr/cookie |
|
|
Cat the initiator name to get the iqn for the server |
|
|
Add the host to ViPR: python viprcli.py openstack add_host -name rdo.ebc.emc.local -wwpn <initiator> |
|
|
Under the Virtual array on the ViPR console, click through till you get to the OpenNetwork. You should see the initiator added. |
|
|
Under physical assests, hosts you should see the host. |
