Plugin description
SolidFire plugin for Fuel extends Mirantis OpenStack functionality by adding support for SolidFire all Flash block storage cluster.
The SolidFire cluster is an iSCSI block storage device used as a Cinder backend.
Requirements
| Requirement | Version/Comment |
|---|---|
| Mirantis OpenStack compatibility | >= 6.1 |
| Access to SolidFire MVIP via cinder-volume node | |
| Access to SolidFire SVIP via compute/cinder-volume nodes | |
| iSCSI initiator on all compute/cinder-volume nodes |
Limitations
Currently Fuel doesn't support multi-backend.
SolidFire configuration
Before starting a deployment there are some things that you should verify:
- Your SolidFire Cluster can route 10G Storage Network to all Compute nodes as well as the Cinder Control/Manager node.
- Create an account on the SolidFire cluster to use as the OpenStack Administrator account (use the login/password for this account as san_login/password settings).
- Obtain the MVIP address from the SolidFire cluster (uses as the san_ip)
SolidFire Cinder plugin installation
All of the needed code for using SolidFire in an OpenStack deployment is included in the upstream OpenStack distribution. There are no additional libraries, software packages or licenses.
