You need to specify settings as described below. For details about each step, see the user's guide of the storage device. Use a storage administrative software such as Storage Navigator to set up the storage device so that LDEVs and host groups can be created and deleted, and LDEVs can be connected to the server and can be asynchronously copied.
Create a Dynamic Provisioning pool.
Connect the ports at the storage to the Controller node and Compute nodes.
For VSP G1000/VSP/HUS VM, set "port security" to "enable" for the ports at the storage.
For HUS 100 Family, set "Host Group security"/"iSCSI target security" to "ON" for the ports at the storage.
For the ports at the storage, create host groups (iSCSI targets) whose names begin with HBSD- for the Controller node and each Compute node. Then register a WWN (initiator IQN) for each of the Controller node and Compute nodes.
For VSP G1000/VSP/HUS VM, perform the following:
Create a storage device account belonging to the Administrator User Group. (To use multiple storage devices, create the same account name for all the target storage devices, and specify the same resource group and permissions.)
Create a command device (In-Band), and set user authentication to ON.
Register the created command device to the host group for the Controller node.
To use the Thin Image function, create a pool for Thin Image.
For HUS 100 Family, perform the following:
Use the command auunitaddauto to register the unit name and controller of the storage device to HSNM2.
When connecting via iSCSI, if you are using CHAP certification, specify the same user and password as that used for the storage port.
Change a parameter of the hfcldd driver and update the initram file if Hitachi Gigabit Fibre Channel adaptor is used.
# /opt/hitachi/drivers/hba/hfcmgr -E hfc_rport_lu_scan 1 # dracut -f initramfs-KERNEL_VERSION.imgKERNEL_VERSION# reboot
Create directory.
# mkdir /var/lock/hbsd # chown cinder:cinder /var/lock/hbsd
Create "volume type" and "volume key".
This example shows that HUS100_SAMPLE is created as "volume type" and hus100_backend is registered as "volume key".
$ cinder type-create HUS100_SAMPLE $ cinder type-key HUS100_SAMPLE set volume_backend_name=hus100_backend
Please specify any identical "volume type" name and "volume key".
To confirm the created "volume type", please execute the following command:
$ cinder extra-specs-list
Edit
/etc/cinder/cinder.confas follows.If you use Fibre Channel:
volume_driver = cinder.volume.drivers.hitachi.hbsd_fc.HBSDFCDriver
If you use iSCSI:
volume_driver = cinder.volume.drivers.hitachi.hbsd_iscsi.HBSDISCSIDriver
Also, set
volume_backend_namecreated by cinder type-keyvolume_backend_name = hus100_backend
