The OpenStack Shared File Systems service (manila) provides coordinated
access to shared or distributed file systems. The method in which the share is
provisioned and consumed is determined by the Shared File Systems driver, or
drivers in the case of a multi-backend configuration. There are a variety of
drivers that support NFS, CIFS, HDFS, GlusterFS, CEPHFS, MAPRFS and other
protocols as well.
The Shared File Systems API and scheduler services typically run on the
controller nodes. Depending upon the drivers used, the share service can run
on controllers, compute nodes, or storage nodes.
.. important::
For simplicity, this guide describes configuring the Shared File Systems
service to use one of either:
* the ``generic`` back end with the ``driver_handles_share_servers`` mode
(DHSS) enabled that uses the `Compute service` (`nova`),
`Image service` (`glance`), `Networking service` (`neutron`) and
`Block storage service` (`cinder`); or,
* the ``LVM`` back end with ``driver_handles_share_servers`` mode (DHSS)
disabled.
The storage protocol used and referenced in this guide is ``NFS``. As
stated above, the Shared File System service supports different storage
protocols depending on the back end chosen.
For the ``generic`` back end, networking service configuration requires
the capability of networks being attached to a public router in order to
create share networks. If using this back end, ensure that Compute,
Networking and Block storage services are properly working before you
proceed. For networking service, ensure that option 2 (deploying the
networking service with support for self-service networks) is properly
configured.
This installation tutorial also assumes that installation and configuration
of OpenStack packages, Network Time Protocol, database engine and
message queue has been completed as per the instructions in the `OpenStack
Installation Guide. <https://docs.openstack.org/latest/install/>`_.
The `Identity Service` (`keystone`) has to be pre-configured with suggested
client environment scripts.
For more information on various Shared File Systems storage back ends,
see the `Shared File Systems Configuration Reference.
<https://docs.openstack.org/manila/latest/configuration/shared-file-systems/overview.html>`_.
