Cinder vs. nova-volume
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
Cinder is a persistent storage management service, also known as
|
|
block-storage-as-a-service. It was created to replace nova-volume, and
|
|
provides persistent storage for VMs.
|
|
|
|
If you want to use Cinder for persistent storage, you will need to both
|
|
enable Cinder and create the block devices on which it will store data.
|
|
You will then provide information about those blocks devices during the Fuel
|
|
install.
|
|
|
|
Cinder block devices can be:
|
|
|
|
* created by Cobbler during the initial node installation, or
|
|
* attached manually (e.g. as additional virtual disks if you are using
|
|
VirtualBox, or as additional physical RAID, SAN volumes)
