Configure a Block Storage service controller

Install the appropriate packages for the Block Storage service:

# zypper install  openstack-cinder-api openstack-cinder-scheduler

Configure Block Storage to use your database.

Run the following command to set connection option in the [database] section, which is in the /etc/cinder/cinder.conf file, replace CINDER_DBPASS with the password for the Block Storage database that you will create in a later step:

# openstack-config --set /etc/cinder/cinder.conf \
  database connection mysql://cinder:CINDER_DBPASS@controller/cinder

Use the password that you set to log in as root to create a cinder database:

# mysql -u root -p
mysql> CREATE DATABASE cinder;
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON cinder.* TO 'cinder'@'localhost' \
  IDENTIFIED BY 'CINDER_DBPASS';
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON cinder.* TO 'cinder'@'%' \
  IDENTIFIED BY 'CINDER_DBPASS';

Create a cinder user.

The Block Storage service uses this user to authenticate with the Identity service.

Use the service tenant and give the user the admin role:

$ keystone user-create --name=cinder --pass=CINDER_PASS --email=[email protected]
$ keystone user-role-add --user=cinder --tenant=service --role=admin

Edit the /etc/cinder/cinder.conf configuration file:

# openstack-config --set /etc/cinder/cinder.conf DEFAULT \
  auth_strategy keystone
# openstack-config --set /etc/cinder/cinder.conf keystone_authtoken \
  auth_uri http://controller:5000
# openstack-config --set /etc/cinder/cinder.conf keystone_authtoken \
  auth_host controller
# openstack-config --set /etc/cinder/cinder.conf keystone_authtoken \
  auth_protocol http
# openstack-config --set /etc/cinder/cinder.conf keystone_authtoken \
  auth_port 35357
# openstack-config --set /etc/cinder/cinder.conf keystone_authtoken \
  admin_user cinder
# openstack-config --set /etc/cinder/cinder.conf keystone_authtoken \
  admin_tenant_name service
# openstack-config --set /etc/cinder/cinder.conf keystone_authtoken \
  admin_password CINDER_PASS

Configure Block Storage to use the RabbitMQ message broker.

Replace RABBIT_PASS with the password you chose for RabbitMQ:

# openstack-config --set /etc/cinder/cinder.conf \
  DEFAULT rpc_backend cinder.openstack.common.rpc.impl_kombu
# openstack-config --set /etc/cinder/cinder.conf \
  DEFAULT rabbit_host controller
# openstack-config --set /etc/cinder/cinder.conf \
  DEFAULT rabbit_port 5672
# openstack-config --set /etc/cinder/cinder.conf \
  DEFAULT rabbit_password RABBIT_PASS

Register the Block Storage service with the Identity service so that other OpenStack services can locate it:

$ keystone service-create --name=cinder --type=volume --description="OpenStack Block Storage"

$ keystone endpoint-create \
  --service-id=$(keystone service-list | awk '/ volume / {print $2}') \
  --publicurl=http://controller:8776/v1/%\(tenant_id\)s \
  --internalurl=http://controller:8776/v1/%\(tenant_id\)s \
  --adminurl=http://controller:8776/v1/%\(tenant_id\)s

Register a service and endpoint for version 2 of the Block Storage service API:

$ keystone service-create --name=cinderv2 --type=volumev2 --description="OpenStack Block Storage v2"

$ keystone endpoint-create \
  --service-id=$(keystone service-list | awk '/ volumev2 / {print $2}') \
  --publicurl=http://controller:8776/v2/%\(tenant_id\)s \
  --internalurl=http://controller:8776/v2/%\(tenant_id\)s \
  --adminurl=http://controller:8776/v2/%\(tenant_id\)s

Start and configure the Block Storage services to start when the system boots:

# service openstack-cinder-api start
# service openstack-cinder-scheduler start
# chkconfig openstack-cinder-api on
# chkconfig openstack-cinder-scheduler on
