Configuring OpenStack Cinder for NGX Storage NFS

Updated
Print

In this guide, we’ll outline the process of configuring OpenStack Block Storage to utilize NFS Share from NGX Storage, a pivotal step in expanding storage capabilities within your OpenStack environment.

1. Edit /etc/cinder/cinder.conf

 
enabled_backends = ...,ngxstorage-nfs

[ngxstorage-nfs]
volume_driver = cinder.volume.drivers.nfs.NfsDriver
volume_backend_name = ngxstorage-nfs
nfs_shares_config = /etc/cinder/ngxstorage.nfs

2. Create and edit /etc/cinder/ngxstorage.nfs

<share-data-ip>:/exports/<pool-name>/<share-name>

Example:

192.168.1.203:/exports/pool1/openstacknfs

3. Restart Cinder services

sudo systemctl restart cinder-*

4. Check Cinder services

$ openstack volume service list

4. Create Volume Type with OpenStack CLI

$ openstack volume type create ngxstorage-nfs
$ openstack volume type set ngxstorage-nfs --property volume_backend_name=ngxstorage-nfs

5. Check Volume Type with Openstack CLI

$ openstack volume type list --long
