=============
DRBD installation helper for DevStack.
* Free software: Apache license
This plugin helps to install the DRBD backend for Cinder
(and, later on, Nova) in a devstack install.
Usage
-----
Put some lines similar to these in your `local.conf`:
enable_plugin drbd-devstack https://git.openstack.org/openstack/drbd-devstack
CINDER_ENABLED_BACKENDS=drbd:drbdmanage
A few environment variables can be set to modify the behaviour:
* `CINDER_DRBD_NO_STORAGE` means `--no-storage`
* `CINDER_DRBD_NO_CV` gets translated to `--no-control-volume`.
This is allowed only for additional nodes, and not the initial drbdmanage node that *has* to create a control volume.
* `CINDER_DRBD_USE_DRBD_PROTOCOL` makes the driver use the DRBD protocol to provide storage to the Nova nodes.
Secondary nodes are detected by having `$SERVICE_HOST` unequal to `$HOST_IP`, and therefore register themselves as additional nodes in drbdmanage.
