Hi Erlon, hi Philipp thank you for your answers. I will try to explain with a real case: @Erlon: I have 2 nodes that works as a SAN with targetcli and DRBD for a raid over network. This cluster can be seen as an "ISCSI node". Furthermore, I have 2 nodes with openstack-cinder-volume (with

[openstack-dev] [cinder] Cinder with remote LVM proposal

2017-02-01 Thread Marco Marino
Hi, I'd like to know if it is possible to use openstack-cinder-volume with a remote LVM. This could be a new feature proposal if the idea is good. More precisely, I'm thinking a solution where openstack-cinder-volume runs on a dedicated node and LVM on another node (called "storage node"). On the

2017-01-24 Thread Marco Marino
Hi, I'm using cinder with lvm (mitaka release). Actually all works well, but I noticed that when I create a new bootable volume from an image, the storage backend has an intensive cpu/disk usage with a load around 12. I think this happens because cinder use dd with oflag=direct during the copy. I

Ok, problem solved (it seems) in /etc/lvm/lvm.conf I need to set auto_set_activation_skip = 0 and, in my case, I set the same in /etc/cinder/lvm.conf (because I'm using a cluster configuration for lvm) Thank you 2017-01-18 16:38 GMT+01:00 Marco Marino <marino@gmail.com>: > Hi, I
