NFS Driver: VAST Manila Driver

Prev Next

The source code for our driver is publicly available on our OpenStack Manila fork in GitHub.

 Notes

  • The driver was implemented for OpenStack Rocky; make sure this is the version in use.

  • OpenStack Manila does not support out-of-tree driver installation. The installation, therefore, requires deploying the driver directly into Manila’s code base on the host. Make sure you have a backup of your Manila deployment or another way to revert your changes.

Known Issues

  • Deleting shares requires connectivity between the Manila server and VAST’s virtual IPs.

  • Deleted shares are moved to a "deleted/" subfolder rather than being deleted. They should be purged manually by the storage administrator via an NFS mount.
