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 |
---|---|

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 |
