<p>Ah, if you are using a different VLAN for your storage traffic
than that is likely the cause of the problem. Good luck getting
the networking issue resolved.</p>

<p>Jay,</p>
<p>Thanks for that info. It appears that the cinder-volume service
can speak to the SolidFire over the network but for some reason
it can't actually access it over iSCSI. I think it might be
something to do with how we are tagging / untagging VLANs.</p>
<p>Thank you for your help, I think I am heading in the right
direction now!</p>
<p>Kind Regards,</p>

<p>Doing the boot from volume is actually quite different than
attaching a volume to an instance.</p>
<p>In the case that you are doing the boot from volume (assuming
that your glance storage is not in the Solidfire) the volume
is created and attached to where the cinder-volume service is
running. Then the image is written into the volume.</p>
<p>Have you verified that the host and container that is running
cinder-volume is able to access the Solidfire backend?</p>

<p>Hi Jay,</p>
<p>Thanks for the tip there. I am still having some trouble
with it which is really annoying. The strange thing is, I
can launch a volume and attach it to an instance absolutely
fine. The only issue I am having is literally creating this
bootable volume.</p>
<p>I assume creating a volume and attaching it to an instance
is exactly the same as creating a bootable volume minus the
Nova part?</p>
<p>I would just expect nothing to work if nothing could speak
to the SolidFire. <br>
</p>
<p>Would it make a difference if the current image that is
being copied over to the bootable volume is in a ceph
cluster? I know glance should deal with it but I am
wondering if the copy of the image is the actual issue?</p>
<p>Thanks again,<br>

<p>Grant,</p>
<p>So, the copy is failing because it can't find the volume
to copy the image into.</p>
<p>I would check the host and container for any iSCSI errors
as well as the backend. It appears that something is
going wrong when attempting to temporarily attach the
volume to write the image into it.</p>

<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>We are in the process of trying to add a SolidFire
storage solution to our existing OpenStack setup and
seem to have hit a snag with cinder / iscsi. <br>
</p>
<p>We are trying to create a bootable volume to allow us
to launch an instance from it, but we are getting some
errors in our cinder-volumes containers that seem to
suggest they can't connect to iscsi although the volume
seems to create fine on the SolidFire node.</p>
<p>The command we are running is: <br>
</p>
<p>openstack volume create --image $image-id --size 20
--bootable --type solidfire sf-volume-v12</p>
<p>The volume seems to create on SolidFire but I then see
these errors in the "cinder-volume.log"</p>

<p>The volume containers can talk to the iscsi VIP on the
SolidFire so I am a bit stuck and wondered if anyone had
come across any issues before?</p>
<p>Kind Regards,<br>
