For example: ``` $ sudo snap set cinder-volume \ cinder.project-id=project-uuid \ cinder.user-id=user-uuid ``` You must also configure access to RabbitMQ: ``` $ sudo snap set cinder-volume \ rabbitmq.url=rabbit://cinder:supersecure@10.152.183.212:5672/openstack ``` And provide the database connection URL: ``` $ sudo snap set cinder-volume \ database.url=mysql+pymysql://cinder:password@10.152.183.210/cinder ``` The snap supports multiple storage backends, such as Ceph. For example, to configure a Ceph backend: ``` $ sudo snap set cinder-volume \ ceph.mybackend.rbd-pool=volumes \ ceph.mybackend.rbd-user=cinder \ ceph.mybackend.rbd-secret-uuid=uuid \ ceph.mybackend.rbd-key= \ ceph.mybackend.volume-backend-name=mybackend ``` See "Configuration Reference" for full details. **Configuration Reference** **cinder** * `cinder.project-id` Project ID for Cinder service * `cinder.user-id` User ID for Cinder service * `cinder.image-volume-cache-enabled` (false) Enable image volume cache * `cinder.image-volume-cache-max-size-gb` (0) Max size of image volume cache in GB * `cinder.image-volume-cache-max-count` (0) Max number of images in cache * `cinder.default-volume-type` (optional) Default volume type * `cinder.cluster` (optional) Cinder cluster name **database** * `database.url` Full connection URL to the database **rabbitmq** * `rabbitmq.url` Full connection URL to RabbitMQ **settings** * `settings.debug` (false) Enable debug log level * `settings.enable-telemetry-notifications` (false) Enable telemetry notifications **ceph (backend)** Configure one or more Ceph backends using the `ceph..*` namespace: * `ceph..volume-backend-name` Name for this backend (must be unique) * `ceph..rbd-pool` Name of the Ceph pool to use * `ceph..rbd-user` Ceph user for access * `ceph..rbd-secret-uuid` Secret UUID for authentication * `ceph..rbd-key` Key for the Ceph user (base64 encoded) * `ceph..mon-hosts` Comma-separated list of Ceph monitor hosts * `ceph..auth` Authentication type (default: cephx) * `ceph..rbd-exclusive-cinder-pool` (true) Whether the pool is exclusive to Cinder * `ceph..report-discard-supported` (true) Report discard support * `ceph..rbd-flatten-volume-from-snapshot` (false) Flatten volumes from snapshot * `ceph..image-volume-cache-enabled` (optional) Enable image volume cache for this backend * `ceph..image-volume-cache-max-size-gb` (optional) Max cache size in GB for this backend * `ceph..image-volume-cache-max-count` (optional) Max cache count for this backend * `ceph..volume-dd-blocksize` (4096) Block size for volume copy operations You may define multiple backends by using different backend names, e.g. `ceph.ceph1.*`, `ceph.ssdpool.*`, etc. Each backend name must be unique and each pool must only be used by one backend. --- ## Install cinder-volume on your Linux distribution Choose your Linux distribution to get detailed installation instructions.
