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.

Seems the instance I created is not available. Please, any help? Ignazio

To debug this, start where the 'Waiting for the common service VM ...' message is emitted [1]. There you can see that the _is_share_server_active() method is returning False. Tracing the flow from that method definition [2] takes you to the ensure_service_instance [3] and _check_server_availability [4] methods.

You can see what checks are being made along the way and try them yourself. If the share server VM is up and on the right network make sure it is reachable via SSH from the node where the manila-share service is running.
