RBD and OpenStack
|
|
===================
|
|
You may utilize RBD with OpenStack. To use RBD with OpenStack, you must install
|
|
QEMU, ``libvirt``, and OpenStack first. We recommend using a separate physical
|
|
host for your OpenStack installation. OpenStack recommends a minimum of
|
|
8GB of RAM and a quad-core processor. If you have not already installed
|
|
OpenStack, install it now. See `Installing OpenStack`_ for details.
|
|
|
|
.. _Installing OpenStack: ../../install/openstack
|
|
|
|
.. important:: To use RBD with OpenStack, you must have a running Ceph cluster.
|
|
.. tip: To get started quickly, turn off cephx authentication.
|
|
|
|
Create a Pool
|
|
-------------
|
|
By default, RBD uses the ``data`` pool. You may use any available RBD pool.
|
|
We recommend creating a pool for Nova. Ensure your Ceph cluster is running,
|
|
then create a pool. ::
|
|
|
|
sudo rados mkpool nova
|
|
|
|
Install Ceph Common on the OpenStack Host
|
|
-----------------------------------------
|
|
OpenStack operates as a Ceph client. You must install Ceph common on the
|
|
OpenStack host, and copy your Ceph cluster's ``ceph.conf`` file to the
|
|
``/etc/ceph`` directory. If you have installed Ceph on the host, Ceph common
|
|
is already included. ::
|
|
|
|
sudo apt-get install ceph-common
|
|
cd /etc/ceph
|
|
ssh your-openstack-server sudo tee /etc/ceph/ceph.conf <ceph.conf
|
|
|
|
Add the RBD Driver and the Pool Name to ``nova.conf``
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------
|
|
OpenStack requires a driver to interact with RADOS block devices. You must also
|
|
specify the pool name for the block device. On your OpenStack host, navigate to
|
|
the ``/etc/conf`` directory. Open the ``nova.conf`` file in a text editor using
|
|
sudo privileges and add the following lines to the file::
|
|
|
|
volume_driver=nova.volume.driver.RBDDriver
|
|
rbd_pool=nova
|
|
|
|
Restart OpenStack
|
|
-----------------
|
|
To activate the RBD driver and load the RBD pool name into the configuration,
|
|
you must restart OpenStack. Navigate the directory where you installed
|
|
OpenStack, and execute the following::
|
|
|
|
./rejoin-stack.sh
|
|
|
|
If you have OpenStack configured as a service, you can also execute::
|
|
|
|
sudo service nova-volume restart
|
|
|
|
Once OpenStack is up and running, you should be able to create a volume with
|
|
OpenStack on a Ceph RADOS block device. |
