Cinder Installation Guide
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
The Block Storage service (cinder) provides block storage devices
|
|
to guest instances. The method in which the storage is provisioned and
|
|
consumed is determined by the Block Storage driver, or drivers
|
|
in the case of a multi-backend configuration. There are a variety of
|
|
drivers that are available: NAS/SAN, NFS, iSCSI, Ceph, and more.
|
|
|
|
The Block Storage API and scheduler services typically run on the controller
|
|
nodes. Depending upon the drivers used, the volume service can run
|
|
on controller nodes, compute nodes, or standalone storage nodes.
|
|
|
|
For more information, see the :doc:`Configuration
|
|
Reference </configuration/block-storage/volume-drivers>`.

|
|
OpenStack environment using the instructions in the

|
`OpenStack Installation Guide <https://docs.openstack.org/install-guide/>`_.
|
|
|
|
Once able to 'Launch an instance' in your OpenStack environment follow the
|

|
For security reasons **Service Tokens must be configured** in OpenStack
|
|
for Cinder to operate securely. Pay close attention to the :doc:`specific
|
|
section describing it: <../configuration/block-storage/service-token>`. See
