Using NFS for Cinder with RDO

• Set the NFS share in Packstack:

    # packstack –cinder-backend=nfs –cinder-nfs-mounts=<IP/hostname>:/

• Create the directory on which the shares will be mounted:

    # mkdir -p /var/lib/cinder/mnt

• Make the Cinder user the owner of the directory:

    # chown -v cinder.cinder /var/lib/cinder/mnt

• Configure the SELINUX on the compute nodes to allow access from the instances to the shares:

    # /usr/sbin/setsebool -P virt_use_nfs on

• Restart all the Cinder related services:

  # for i in $(systemctl list-unit-files | awk ' /cinder/ { print $1 } ' ); do systemctl restart $i; done
