Hi, In order to us NFS backend , and following this article :
https://access.redhat.com/articles/1323213 I've created a new nfstype within cinder . # cinder extra-specs-list +--------------------------------------+---------+-----------------------------------------+ | ID | Name | extra_specs | +--------------------------------------+---------+-----------------------------------------+ | bbff44b5-52b1-43d6-beb4-83aa2d20bc59 | nfstype | {u'volume_backend_name': u'nfsbackend'} | | f8d31dc8-a20e-410c-81bf-6b0a971c61a0 | iscsi | {u'volume_backend_name': u'lvm'} | +--------------------------------------+---------+-----------------------------------------+ Now , my goal is to create an instance that will be bootable from a nfs volume. As said here : http://docs.openstack.org/user-guide/cli_nova_launch_instance_from_volume.html if you want to create a volume to a specific storage backend, you need to use an image which has cinder_img_volume_type property. In this case, a new volume will be created as storage_backend1 volume type. Related to my use case , what should be the value of the cinder_img_volume_type property I've to add to the image : nfstype or nfsbackend ? I understand that , if all stuff is going well , a new volume will be created to host the instance , no ephemeral storage will be used for this instance ( making it movable between compute nodes ) ? Am I right ? Thx for help. Regards, Jean-Pierre RIBEAUVILLE +33 1 4717 2049 [axway_logo_tagline_87px]
