Hi nova devs,

How can I use placement api's if my instance path is mounted on shared
storage server (e.g. NFS)?

I am trying to set multinode setup with NFS shared storage for all nodes
to share disk resources along with placement services. As of now it is
creating resource providers for each of the compute node and adds the
DISK_GB for each resource provider.

Correct. Well, I mean that this behaviour is expected (and is the identical behaviour that exists in Nova today with the non-placement API).

We have not yet merged code that handles the correct accounting of shared storage, unfortunately. :(

When we merge all the code that handles shared storage [1], you should be able to do something like the following:

STORAGE_UUID=`openstack aggregate-create "my NFS storage pool"`
openstack aggregate-host-associated $STORAGE_UUID $UUID_COMPUTE1
openstack aggregate-host-associated $STORAGE_UUID $UUID_COMPUTE2

Add some inventory to the aggregate, like so:

PUT /resource_providers/$STORAGE_UUID/inventories
{
  "DISK_GB": {
    "total": 1000,
    "reserved": 0,
    "min_unit": 10,
    "max_unit": 1000,
    "allocation_ratio": 1.0
  }
}

and then the compute nodes will just "auto-heal" themselves, removing "local" DISK_GB inventories and using the DISK_GB inventory of the storage pool.

But, again, this code isn't yet merged.

We're making slow but steady progress, but I can't tell you when the code will fully land, unfortunately.

Best,

For example below are my environment details:

NODE A: compute
NODE B: controller + compute

Following entries are made in resource_providers table:

Following are the entries of inventories tables, of which 89 indicates
the DISK_GB (size of shared storage):

However still I am able to create the instances over the size of actual
shared storage.



Please let me know how to configure resource_providers in case of shared
storage servers are used for disk resources.



Thank you,
