<p class="MsoNormal">Hi list,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have some questions.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hope can get help from you guys.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Manila has two driver modes.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For handle share server drivers, the share-network is easy to understand.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For not handle share-servers drivers, manila request admin to do everything before manila-share service start, and when the service is running, it only serves requests do not contain "share-network".<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I kept confusing about which/why users would create shares without "share-network". Although when working with this kind of driver, the manila-share service can only support one specific network restricted by the backend. But “users” do
not know backends, they should always want to create shares with "share-network", because users always want to connect shares to their instances that lives in the cloud with “share-network”.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Then I have been told that these shares created without "share-network" are assumed to be used on a "public network".
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The "public network" do make a clear explanation about why "share-network" not matter anymore.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But, when I build my cloud with Manila, what I want to do is let backends to serve my “Flat network”.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I want to have 2 backends in Manila, both of them are “<b><i>not</i></b> handle share-servers drivers”.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I set 192.168.6.253 for backend1 and create a “Flat network” in neutron with subnet 192.168.6.0/24 with IP range from 192.168.6.1-192.168.6.252.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I set 192.168.7.253 for backend2 and create a “Flat network” in neutron with subnet 192.168.7.0/24 with IP range from 192.168.7.1-192.168.7.252.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The reason I build my cloud like this is because I want to do some performance tests on both backends, to compare the two backends.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I think it should not hard to do it, but manila do not support that currently.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So, is this the behavior should work ?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Or anything else I missed ?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks.<o:p></o:p></p>
