Quobyte Cinder Driver Configuration

The Quobyte Cinder driver allows using a Quobyte volume as storage for OpenStack Cinder. Use the following configuration options:

quobyte_volume_url

URL to the Quobyte volume, e.g. quobyte://<DIR host>/<volume name> .

quobyte_client_cfg

Path to a Quobyte Client configuration file.

quobyte_sparsed_volumes

Create volumes as sparse files which take no space.

If set to False, volume is created as regular file, in such cases volume creation may take a lot of time.

quobyte_qcow2_volumes

Create volumes as QCOW2 files rather than raw files.

quobyte_mount_point_base

Base dir containing the mount point for the Quobyte volume.

Example in /etc/cinder/cinder.conf:

[default]
ENABLED_BACKENDS = client:Quobyte
DEFAULT_VOLUME_TYPE = Quobyte

[Quobyte]
volume_driver = cinder.volume.drivers.quobyte.QuobyteDriver
quobyte_volume_url = quobyte://<server>/<Quobyte volume name>
quobyte_client_cfg = /etc/quobyte/client.cfg
quobyte_sparsed_volumes = True
quobyte_qcow2_volumes = True
quobyte_mount_point_base = /mnt/openstack/quobytemnt
