Configuring Fibre Channel Support
|
|
=================================
|
|
|
|
Fibre Channel support in OpenStack Compute is remote block storage attached to
|
|
compute nodes for VMs.
|
|
|
|
.. todo:: This below statement needs to be verified for current release
|
|
|
|
Fibre Channel supported only the KVM hypervisor.
|
|
|
|
Compute and Block Storage support Fibre Channel automatic zoning on Brocade and
|
|
Cisco switches. On other hardware Fibre Channel arrays must be pre-zoned or
|
|
directly attached to the KVM hosts.
|
|
|
|
KVM host requirements
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
You must install these packages on the KVM host:
|
|
|
|
``sysfsutils``
|
|
Nova uses the ``systool`` application in this package.
|
|
|
|
``sg3-utils`` or ``sg3_utils``
|
|
Nova uses the ``sg_scan`` and ``sginfo`` applications.
|
|
|
|
Installing the ``multipath-tools`` or ``device-mapper-multipath`` package is
|
|
optional.
