A multiple store backend support is introduced in the Rocky release
as a part of the EXPERIMENTAL Image API v2.8.
.. note:: The Multi Store feature is introduced as EXPERIMENTAL in Rocky and
its use in production systems is currently **not supported**.
However we encourage people to use this feature for testing
purposes and report the issues so that we can make it stable and
fully supported in Stein release.
In version 2.7 of the API, this call will return a 404 (Not Found).
Use the :ref:`API versions call <versions-call>` to determine
what API verisons are available in your cloud.

Multi Store Support
===================
.. note:: The Multi Store feature is introduced as EXPERIMENTAL in Rocky and
its use in production systems is currently **not supported**.
However we encourage people to use this feature for testing
purposes and report the issues so that we can make it stable and
fully supported in Stein release.
Scope of this document
----------------------
This page describes how to enable multiple stores in glance.
Prerequisites
-------------
* Glance version 17.0.0 or Later
* Glance Store Library 0.25.0 or Later
* Glance not using the Glance Registry
* Available backends
Procedure
---------
In this section, we discuss what configuration options are available to
operators to enable multiple stores support.
* in the ``[DEFAULT]`` options group:
* ``enabled_backends`` must be set as a key:value pair where key
represents the identifier for the store and value will be the type
of the store. Valid values are one of ``file``, ``http``, ``rbd``,
``swift``, ``cinder``, ``sheepdog`` or ``vmware``. In order to have
multiple stores operator can specify multiple key:value separated by comma.
.. code-block:: ini
[DEFAULT]
enabled_backends = fast:rbd, cheap:rbd, shared:file, reliable:file
.. note:: Due to the special read only nature and characteristics of the
http store we do not encourage nor support configuring multiple
instances of http store even though it's possible.
* in the ``[glance_store]`` options group:
* ``default_backend`` must be set to one of the identifier which are defined
using ``enabled_backends`` option. If ``default_backend`` is not set or if
it is not representing one of the valid store drivers then it will prevent
glance api service from starting.
.. code-block:: ini
[DEFAULT]
default_backend = fast
* For each of the store identifier defined in ``enabled_backends`` section
operator needs to add a new config group which will define config options
related to that particular store.
.. code-block:: ini
[shared]
filesystem_store_datadir = /opt/stack/data/glance/shared_images/
store_description = "Shared filesystem store"
[reliable]
filesystem_store_datadir = /opt/stack/data/glance/reliable
store_description = "Reliable filesystem backend"
[fast]
store_description = "Fast rbd backend"
rbd_store_chunk_size = 8
rbd_store_pool = images
rbd_store_user = admin
rbd_store_ceph_conf = /etc/ceph/ceph.conf
rados_connect_timeout = 0
[cheap]
store_description = "Cheap rbd backend"
rbd_store_chunk_size = 8
rbd_store_pool = images
rbd_store_user = admin
rbd_store_ceph_conf = /etc/ceph/ceph1.conf
rados_connect_timeout = 0
.. note ::
``store_description`` is a new config option added to each store where
operator can add meaningful description about that store. This description
is displayed in the GET /v2/info/stores response.
* For new image import workflow glance will reserve a ``os_staging`` file
store identifier for staging the images data during staging operation. This
should be added by default in ``glance-api.conf`` as shown below:
.. code-block:: ini
[os_staging]
filesystem_store_datadir = /opt/stack/data/glance/os_staging/
store_description = "Filesystem store for staging purpose"
