Thanks guys,

@Gorka, Is the recommendation one ceph pool per cinder-volume or rather one cinder-volume (in active/passive HA) per ceph cluster? It seems Active/Active HA hasn’t been finished (looking at https://blueprints.launchpad.net/cinder/+spec/cinder-volume-active-active-support) so one cinder-volume would probably become a bottle neck at some point? Or is it going to be mostly idle anyway now that I’ve toggled `rbd_exclusive_cinder_pool = True`?

Regards,
Chris

Hi,

Just doing a quick sanity check - I can set `rbd_exclusive_cinder_pool = True` (in pike, where the change landed first) even if more than one cinder-volume is writing to the same Ceph pool, right? Assuming nothing writes to the pool outside of cinder, we should be good as far as I understand the code.

Hi Chris,

It's best not to share your pools, but your assessment is correct
regarding the rbd_exclusive_cinder_pool configuration option.  The code
ruled by that option will work as expected even when sharing the pool
between different cinder-volume services.

Cheers,
Gorka.
