Hello Cinder Team,
Can someone provide a reference documentation for active/active support for a Cinder Driver w.r.t. configuration and any driver changes expected?
Best Regards, Swapnil
Hi,
You can check support for a specific driver on the driver support matrix page [1].
As far as I know the configuration is not spelled out in the docs, so it will depend on the deployment tool you use.
Basically there are 3 parts:
- DLM deployment: It is necessary to deploy an external service to be used as the Distributed Lock Manager. This service must be supported by the TooZ library.
- Cinder configuration: Make sure that the "host"/"backend_host" configuration option is unique for each cinder service, define a name for the cluster in the "cluster" option, configure the "backend_url" in the "[coordination]" section.
- Configure the HA cluster resource manager for an Active-Active cinder-volume service.
Cheers, Gorka.
