I am having trouble understanding the documentation.
- 3.0 or later versions of NFS-Ganesha.
- NFS client installed in the guest.
- Network connectivity between your Ceph cluster’s public network and NFS-Ganesha server. <-------------------------- NFS Ganesha is an external service.
- Network connectivity between your NFS-Ganesha server and the manila guest.
Ceph documentation says, that ceph can create an NFS-Ganesha cluster, which simplifies the deployment, but...there are some things that are clear :
- When ceph create the NFS cluster, it create a new pool, in my deployment it is called ".nfs"
- Manila using cephfs-nfs needs a pool to save the export configuration, which is called for reference : <ganesha_rados_store_pool_name>
Is it the same pool???
- The Ganesha configuration says : For a fresh setup, make sure to create the Ganesha export index object as an empty object before starting the Ganesha server.
echo | sudo rados -p ${GANESHA_RADOS_STORE_POOL_NAME} put ganesha-export-index -
- If its the .nfs pool, did ceph put the ganesha-export-index in it already or should I do it?
Thanks.
