Multi-IP NFS Backup target mapping file configuration

Introduction

Filename and location:

triliovault-cfg-scripts/common/triliovault_nfs_map_input.yml

This file is used only when the user wants to configure 'multiple IP/endpoints based NFS share' as a backup target for Trilio. In all other cases like single IP NFS, S3 this file does not get used. Follow regular install doc.

If the user is using multiple-IP/endpoints based NFS share as a backup target for triliovault then triliovault mounts any one IP/endpoint on a given compute node for a given NFS share. Users can distribute NFS share IPs/endpoints across compute nodes.

'triliovault_nfs_map_input.yml' file is a tool that users can use to distribute/load balance NFS share endpoints across compute nodes in a given cloud.

Examples

Using hostnames

Here, the User has ‘one’ NFS share exposed with three IP addresses. 192.168.1.34, 192.168.1.35, 192.168.1.33 Share directory path is: /var/share1

So, this NFS share supports the following full paths that clients can mount:

192.168.1.33:/var/share1 
192.168.1.34:/var/share1 
192.168.1.35:/var/share1

There are 32 compute nodes in the OpenStack cloud. 30 node hostnames have the following naming pattern

prod-compute-1.trilio.demo 
prod-compute-2.trilio.demo 
prod-compute-3.trilio.demo 
. 
. 
. 
prod-compute-30.trilio.demo

The remaining 2 node hostnames do not follow any format/pattern.

compute_bare.trilio.demo 
compute_virtual

Now the mapping file will look like this

multi_ip_nfs_shares: 
 - "192.168.1.34:/var/share1": ['prod-compute-[1:10].trilio.demo', 'compute_bare.trilio.demo'] 
   "192.168.1.35:/var/share1": ['prod-compute-[11:20].trilio.demo', 'compute_virtual'] 
   "192.168.1.33:/var/share1": ['prod-compute-[21:30].trilio.demo'] 

single_ip_nfs_shares: []

Using IPs

Compute node IP range used here: 172.30.3.11-40 and 172.30.4.40, 172.30.4.50 Total of 32 compute nodes

multi_ip_nfs_shares: 
 - "192.168.1.34:/var/share1": ['172.30.3.[11:20]', '172.30.4.40'] 
   "192.168.1.35:/var/share1": ['172.30.3.[21:30]', '172.30.4.50'] 
   "192.168.1.33:/var/share1": ['172.30.3.[31:40]'] 

single_ip_nfs_shares: []

Getting the correct compute hostnames/IPs

RHOSP or TripleO

Use the following command to get compute hostnames. Check the ‘Name' column. Use these exact hostnames in 'triliovault_nfs_map_input.yml' file.

In the following command output, ‘overcloudtrain1-novacompute-0' and ‘overcloudtrain1-novacompute-1' are correct hostnames.

Kolla-Ansible OpenStack

Compute hostnames/IPs should match in kolla-ansible inventory file and triliovault_nfs_map_input.yml.

If IP addresses are sued in kolla-ansible inventory file then the same IP addresses should be used in ‘triliovault_nfs_map_input.yml' file too. If the kolla-ansible deploy command looks like the following,

kolla-ansible -i multinode deploy

then, the inventory file is 'multinode'. Generally, it is available at “/root/multinode“.

OpenStack Ansible

Compute hostnames/IPs should match in the Openstack Ansible inventory file and triliovault_nfs_map_input.yml

If IP addresses have been used in the Openstack-ansible inventory file then you should use the same IP addresses in the ‘triliovault_nfs_map_input.yml' file too.

Generally inventory file available at /etc/openstack_deploy/openstack_user_config.yml

Openstack Ansible deploy command looks like following,

openstack-ansible os-tvault-install.yml

Openstack Ansible automatically picks up values that the user has set in the file openstack_user_config.yml
