Tintri VMstore is a smart storage that sees, learns and adapts for cloud and virtualization. The Tintri Cinder driver will interact with configured VMstore running Tintri OS 4.0 and above. It supports various operations using Tintri REST APIs and NFS protocol.
To configure the use of a Tintri VMstore with Block Storage, perform the following actions:
Edit the
etc/cinder/cinder.conf
file and set the cinder.volume.drivers.tintri options:volume_driver=cinder.volume.drivers.tintri.TintriDriver # Mount options passed to the nfs client. See section of the # nfs man page for details. (string value) nfs_mount_options=vers=3,lookupcache=pos # # Options defined in cinder.volume.drivers.tintri # # The hostname (or IP address) for the storage system (string # value) tintri_server_hostname={Tintri VMstore Management IP} # User name for the storage system (string value) tintri_server_username={username} # Password for the storage system (string value) tintri_server_password={password} # API version for the storage system (string value) #tintri_api_version=v310 # Following options needed for NFS configuration # File with the list of available nfs shares (string value) #nfs_shares_config=/etc/cinder/nfs_shares
Edit the
etc/nova/nova.conf
file, and set thenfs_mount_options
:nfs_mount_options=vers=3
Edit the
/etc/cinder/nfs_shares
file, and add the Tintri VMstore mount points associated with the configured VMstore management IP in thecinder.conf
file:{vmstore_data_ip}:/tintri/{submount1} {vmstore_data_ip}:/tintri/{submount2}
