<p class="MsoNormal">Hi list,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For generic driver, there is a flag named “connect_share_server_to_tenant_network” in manila/share/drivers/service_instance.py.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When it set to True, share-server(nova instance) would be created directly on the “share-network”.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When it set to False, the subnet within share-network must connected to a router, and then manila would create its own subnet and connect to the router too, and start share-server in manila’s subnet.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Based on <a href="https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Manila/Networking#Gateway_Mediated">
https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Manila/Networking#Gateway_Mediated</a>, I assume the difference here is L2 vs L3 connectivity.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But, I wander whether there are some other reasons for generic driver to support this flag.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So, my question here is:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> As an cloud admin, what I need to consider to help me figure out what value I should set for this flag ?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks.<o:p></o:p></p>
