Alternative Classes -filter, host manager, etc.- for OpenStack's Cinder
Project description
Alternative Classes such as filters, host managers, etc. for Cinder, the OpenStack Block Storage service.
The main purpose of this library is to illustrate the broad range of possibilities of the Cinder Scheduler provided by its flexible mechanisms.
Currently there’s only 2 interesting features, which are the possibility of changing the default provisioning type on volume creation for volumes that don’t specify the type using the provisioning:type extra spec and an alternative calculation of the free space consumption.
Scheduler’s original approach to space consumption by new volumes is conservative to prevent backends from filling up due to a sudden burst of volume creations.
The alternative approach is more aggressive and is adequate for deployments where the workload is well know and a lot of thin volumes could be requested at the same time.
It’s important to notice that even though the Schedulers will be able to understand provisioining:type extra spec it will depend on the backend if this parameter is actually used or not.

Features
Can default capacity calculations to thin or thick.
Less conservative approach to free space consumption calculations.
Usage
First we’ll need to have the package installed:
# pip install alt_cinder-sch
Then we’ll have to configure Cinder’s schedulers to use the package:
scheduler_host_manager = alt_cinder_sch.host_managers.HostManagerThin scheduler_default_filters = AvailabilityZoneFilter,AltCapacityFilter,CapabilitiesFilter scheduler_driver = alt_cinder_sch.scheduler_drivers.FilterScheduler
And finally restart scheduler services.
