The default volume back-end uses local volumes managed by LVM.
This driver supports different transport protocols to attach volumes, currently ISCSI and ISER.
Set the following in your
cinder.conf, and use the following options to
configure for ISCSI transport:
volume_driver=cinder.volume.drivers.lvm.ISCSIDriver
and for the ISER transport:
volume_driver=cinder.volume.drivers.lvm.ISERDriver
| Configuration option = Default value | Description |
|---|---|
| [DEFAULT] | |
| lvm_mirrors = 0 | (IntOpt) If set, create lvms with multiple mirrors. Note that this requires lvm_mirrors + 2 pvs with available space |
| lvm_type = default | (StrOpt) Type of LVM volumes to deploy; (default or thin) |
| volume_group = cinder-volumes | (StrOpt) Name for the VG that will contain exported volumes |
