Chef Support for GPFS storage for Cinder, Nova and Glance

Registered by Bill Owen

Support automated setting of configuration configuration flags for Cinder. Nova and Glance.

The initial set of configuration flags for Cinder:
volume_driver = cinder.volume.drivers.gpfs.GPFSDriver
gpfs_mount_point_base = <volumes path in gpfs filesystem>
gpfs_images_dir = <images path in gpfs filesystem >
gpfs_images_share_mode = copy_on_write
gpfs_sparse_volumes = True
gpfs_max_clone_depth=<some reasonable value, for example 8>
gpfs_storage_pool='system'

The initial set of configuration flags for Glance (glance-api.conf and glance-cache.conf):
filesystem_store_datadir = <images path in gpfs filesystem, same as gpfs_images_dir in cinder.conf >

The initial set of configuration flags for Nova:
instances_path=<instances path in gpfs filesystem>
disk_cachemodes=file=writeback
