=============================
Open-E JovianDSS iSCSI driver
=============================
The ``JovianISCSIDriver`` allows usage of Open-E Jovian Data Storage
Solution to be used as Block Storage in OpenStack deployments.
Supported operations
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Create, delete, attach, and detach volumes.
- Create, list, and delete volume snapshots.
- Create a volume from a snapshot.
- Copy an image to a volume.
- Copy a volume to an image.
- Clone a volume.
- Extend a volume.
- Migrate a volume with back-end assistance.
Configuring
~~~~~~~~~~~
Edit with your favourite editor Cinder config file. It can be found at
/etc/cinder/cinder.conf
Add the field enabled\_backends with value jdss-0:
::
enabled_backends = jdss-0
Provide settings to JovianDSS driver by adding 'jdss-0' description:
::
[jdss-0]
backend_name = jdss-0
chap_password_len = 14
driver_use_ssl = True
iscsi_target_prefix = iqn.2016-04.com.open-e.cinder:
jovian_pool = Pool-0
jovian_block_size = 128K
jovian_rest_send_repeats = 4
san_api_port = 82
target_port = 3260
volume_driver = cinder.volume.drivers.open_e.iscsi.JovianISCSIDriver
san_hosts = 192.168.0.40
san_login = admin
san_password = admin
san_thin_provision = True

1. JovianDSS Web interface/System Settings/REST Access
2. Pool can be created by going to JovianDSS Web interface/Storage

Multiple Pools
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In order to add another JovianDSS Pool, create a copy of
JovianDSS config in cinder.conf file.
For instance if you want to add ``Pool-1`` located on the same host as
``Pool-0``. You extend ``cinder.conf`` file like:
::
enabled_backends = jdss-0, jdss-1
[jdss-0]
backend_name = jdss-0
chap_password_len = 14
driver_use_ssl = True
iscsi_target_prefix = iqn.2016-04.com.open-e.cinder:
jovian_pool = Pool-0
jovian_block_size = 128K
jovian_rest_send_repeats = 4
san_api_port = 82
target_port = 3260
volume_driver = cinder.volume.drivers.open_e.iscsi.JovianISCSIDriver
san_hosts = 192.168.0.40
san_login = admin
san_password = admin
san_thin_provision = True
[jdss-1]
backend_name = jdss-1
chap_password_len = 14
driver_use_ssl = True
iscsi_target_prefix = iqn.2016-04.com.open-e.cinder:
jovian_pool = Pool-1
jovian_block_size = 128K
jovian_rest_send_repeats = 4
san_api_port = 82
target_port = 3260
volume_driver = cinder.volume.drivers.open_e.iscsi.JovianISCSIDriver
san_hosts = 192.168.0.50
san_login = admin
san_password = admin
san_thin_provision = True
HA Cluster
~~~~~~~~~~
To utilize High Availability feature of JovianDSS:
1. `Guide`_ on configuring Pool to high availability cluster
.. _Guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=juWIQT_bAfM
2. Set ``jovian_hosts`` with list of ``virtual IPs`` associated with this Pool
For instance if you have ``Pool-2`` with 2 virtual IPs 192.168.21.100
and 192.168.31.100 the configuration file will look like:
::
[jdss-2]
backend_name = jdss-2
chap_password_len = 14
driver_use_ssl = True
iscsi_target_prefix = iqn.2016-04.com.open-e.cinder:
jovian_pool = Pool-0
jovian_block_size = 128K
jovian_rest_send_repeats = 4
san_api_port = 82
target_port = 3260
volume_driver = cinder.volume.drivers.open_e.iscsi.JovianISCSIDriver
san_hosts = 192.168.21.100, 192.168.31.100
san_login = admin
san_password = admin
san_thin_provision = True
