Hello Stackers, I am testing manila manila.share.drivers.generic.GenericShareDriver with manila.share.drivers.generic.GenericShareDriver. I created in my project an instance with nfs server and it is up and running. In my manila.conf I have specified the instance id, use and password: [locale] share_driver = manila.share.drivers.generic.GenericShareDriver driver_handles_share_servers = false share_backend_name= locale service_instance_user = manila service_instance_passwod = manila service_instance_name_or_id = 5b0fa246-e94b-4a84-b730-7066dfb31fb0 path_to_private_key=~/.ssh/id_rsa path_to_public_key=~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub I have also other backend with netapp drivers and they works fine. The generic drivers reports: 2020-09-25 13:56:13.955 4097174 WARNING manila.share.drivers.generic [req-f0a5294a-3ef2-4226-9fc9-f3b4f35c53f5 - - - - -] Waiting for the common service VM to become available.

Please, any help? Ignazio
