ManilaShares.create_share_and_access_from_vm throwing PermissionError

[Asma Syed Hameed]

I'm trying to run this scenario in my OSP 16.1 with Ceph backend.

  ManilaShares.create_share_and_access_from_vm:
    -
      args:
        size: 1
        share_type: "default"
        flavor:
            name: "m1.small"
        image:
            name: "^centos7"
        username: "centos"
      runner:
        type: "constant"
        times: 2
        concurrency: 2
      context:
        quotas:
          manila:
            shares: -1
            gigabytes: -1
        users:
          tenants: 2
          users_per_tenant: 1
        network:
          dns_nameservers:
             - "9.9.9.9"
      sla:
        failure_rate:
          max: 0

I'm using centos7 image to boot the servers. Running the script over _run_command is throwing permission Error

ScriptError: Script execution failed: Error running command {'script_inline': 'cloud-init status -w;sudo mount -t nfs -o nfsvers=4.1,proto=tcp 172.17.5.57:/volumes/_nogroup/862d2c1d-43a3-4fb1-bef8-c31445f624fa /

    except PermissionError:
NameError: global name 'PermissionError' is not defined

I was able to fix the issue after providing sudo permission https://github.com/asyedham/rally-openstack/blob/master/rally_openstack/task/scenarios/manila/shares.py#L127

sudo cloud-init status -w;
