Configure TOYOU NetStor iSCSI/FC backend¶

This section details the steps required to configure the TOYOU NetStor storage cinder driver.

1. In the cinder.conf configuration file under the [DEFAULT] section, set the enabled_backends parameter with the iSCSI or FC back-end group.

   • For Fibre Channel:

     [DEFAULT]
     enabled_backends = toyou-fc-1
     

   • For iSCSI:

     [DEFAULT]
     enabled_backends = toyou-iscsi-1
     

2. Add a backend group section for the backend group specified in the enabled_backends parameter.

3. In the newly created backend group section, set the following configuration options:

   • For Fibre Channel:

     [toyou-fc-1]
     # The TOYOU NetStor driver path
     volume_driver = cinder.volume.drivers.toyou.acs5000.acs5000_fc.Acs5000FCDriver
     # Management IP of TOYOU NetStor storage array
     san_ip = 10.0.0.10
     # Management username of TOYOU NetStor storage array
     san_login = cliuser
     # Management password of TOYOU NetStor storage array
     san_password = clipassword
     # The Pool used to allocated volumes
     acs5000_volpool_name = pool01
     # Backend name
     volume_backend_name = toyou-fc
     

   • For iSCSI:

     [toyou-iscsi-1]
     # The TOYOU NetStor driver path
     volume_driver = cinder.volume.drivers.toyou.acs5000.acs5000_iscsi.Acs5000ISCSIDriver
     # Management IP of TOYOU NetStor storage array
     san_ip = 10.0.0.10
     # Management username of TOYOU NetStor storage array
     san_login = cliuser
     # Management password of TOYOU NetStor storage array
     san_password = clipassword
     # The Pool used to allocated volumes
     acs5000_volpool_name = pool01
     # Backend name
     volume_backend_name = toyou-iscsi
