ScaleIO Plugin for Fuel

Overview

The ScaleIO plugin deploys an EMC ScaleIO cluster on the available nodes and replaces the default OpenStack volume backend by ScaleIO.

If you want to leverage an existing ScaleIO cluster and deploy an OpenStack cluster to use that ScaleIO cluster, please take a look at the ScaleIO Cinder plugin.

## Requirements

Requirement	Version/Comment
Mirantis OpenStack compatibility	6.1

## Recommendations

None.

Limitations

Due to some software limitations, this plugin is currently only compatible with Mirantis 6.1 and CentOS.

Installation Guide

ScaleIO Plugin install from RPM file

To install the ScaleIO plugin, follow these steps:

Download the plugin from the Fuel Plugins Catalog.
Copy the plugin file to the Fuel Master node. Follow the Quick start guide if you don't have a running Fuel Master node yet.
```
$ scp scaleio-1.0-1.0.1-1.noarch.rpm root@<Fuel Master node IP address>:/tmp/
```
Log into the Fuel Master node and install the plugin using the fuel command line.
```
$ fuel plugins --install /tmp/scaleio-1.0-1.0.1-1.noarch.rpm
```
Verify that the plugin is installed correctly.
```
$ fuel plugins
```

ScaleIO Plugin install from source code

To install the ScaleIO Plugin from source code, you first need to prepare an environment to build the RPM file of the plugin. The recommended approach is to build the RPM file directly onto the Fuel Master node so that you won't have to copy that file later.

Prepare an environment for building the plugin on the Fuel Master node.

Install the standard Linux development tools:

$ yum install createrepo rpm rpm-build dpkg-devel

Install the Fuel Plugin Builder. To do that, you should first get pip:
```
$ easy_install pip
```
Then install the Fuel Plugin Builder (the fpb command line) with pip:
```
$ pip install fuel-plugin-builder
```

Note: You may also have to build the Fuel Plugin Builder if the package version of the plugin is higher than package version supported by the Fuel Plugin Builder you get from pypi. In this case, please refer to the section "Preparing an environment for plugin development" of the Fuel Plugins wiki if you need further instructions about how to build the Fuel Plugin Builder.

Clone the ScaleIO Plugin git repository (note the --recursive option):

$ git clone --recursive git@github.com:openstack/fuel-plugin-scaleio.git

Check that the plugin is valid:
```
$ fpb --check ./fuel-plugin-scaleio
```
Build the plugin:
```
$ fpb --build ./fuel-plugin-scaleio
```
Now you have created an RPM file that you can install using the steps described above. The RPM file will be located in:
```
$ ./fuel-plugin-scaleio/scaleio-1.0-1.0.1-1.noarch.rpm
```
