Integration of Swift and Manila with Openstack-ansible having Ceph backend?

[Shivashankar C R]

Hi,

I have installed openstack-ansible queens with ceph integration.

I am not getting any help on web on integrating swift and manila to use ceph backend on openstack-ansible.

Is this possible on openstack-ansible?
If yes, Can anyone point to any reference available?

Thanks,
Shiva

There is not currently a Manila role within OpenStack-Ansible. We would readily accept a contribution of this role however. Swift is not something that is integrated on top of Ceph. Please look at Ceph RGW if you want a swift API with a ceph back-end.

We do have a Manila role now [1].

So, I'm definitely planning to provide something like "Ceph as a Service" via Manila!

I'm looking for a way to deploy OSA with Ceph, Swift and Manila.

Let's do it?!

:-D

Sorry if it's impolite to bump an old issue.

Manila with Ceph does work as of Ussuri release out of the box. Both native Ceph shares and NFS.

Here's what I have in user_variables.yaml:

cephfs: manila
cephfs_data: manila_data
cephfs_metadata: manila_metadata
openstack_cephfs_data_pool:
  name: "manila_data"
  pg_autoscale_mode: True
  pg_num: 64
  pgp_num: 64
  rule_name: "replicated_rule"
  type: 1
  erasure_profile: ""
  expected_num_objects: ""
  application: "cephfs"
  size: 3
  min_size: 2
openstack_cephfs_metadata_pool:
  name: "manila_metadata"
  pg_autoscale_mode: True
  pg_num: 8
  pgp_num: 8
  rule_name: "replicated_rule"
  type: 1
  erasure_profile: ""
  expected_num_objects: ""
  application: "cephfs"
  size: 3
  min_size: 2

manila_default_store: ceph
manila_default_share_type: cephfsnative1
manila_backends:
  cephfsnative1:
    share_backend_name: CEPHFSNATIVE1
    share_driver: manila.share.drivers.cephfs.driver.CephFSDriver
    driver_handles_share_servers: False
    cephfs_protocol_helper_type: CEPHFS
    cephfs_conf_path: /etc/ceph/ceph.conf
    cephfs_auth_id: manila
    cephfs_enable_snapshots: False
    cephfs_cluster_name: ceph

Thanks for this bump! That is totally helpful information for anybody lurking around.

I assume we can close this bug report now as well then
