Installing

This has been tested on CentOS 7 x86_64.

Use a non-root user with sudo access.

Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/splitwood/cinder-standalone.git

Run the installation script:

cinder-standalone/cinder-standalone.sh

By default, the installation will use a loopback mounted LVM backend. To use ceph backend instead, run the installation like so:

cinder-standalone/cinder-standalone.sh -e cinder-standalone/environments/cinder-standalone-ceph.yaml

There will be a significant amount of output. When successful, the following can be seen towards the end of the output when the command has stopped running:

Deploy Successful.
Log files at: /tmp/undercloud_deploy-tDYL5h
Log files at: /tmp/undercloud_deploy-tDYL5h

If it succeeds, it will result in the following conatiners running under docker:

[jslagle@cinder-standalone ~]# sudo docker ps

Using Cinder

By default, the LVM driver is configured. cinderclient can be used as shown to communicate with Cinder. Replace the IP address with the actual IP address in the environment.

List volumes:

cinder \
  --os-user-id userid \
  --os-project-id projectid \
  --os-auth-type noauth \
  --os-endpoint \
  http://192.168.122.185:8776/v2 \
  list

Create a volume:

cinder \
  --os-user-id userid \
  --os-project-id projectid \
  --os-auth-type noauth \
  --os-endpoint \
  http://192.168.122.185:8776/v2 \
  create 1

Show the volume in LVM:

sudo lvs
