Configuring OpenStack Compute for Cinder-volume

We now need to tell our OpenStack compute service about our new Cinder-volume service.

Getting ready

As we are performing this setup in a multi-node environment, you will need to be logged into your controller, compute, and cinder nodes.

If you are using the Vagrant environment that accompanies this book, you can log in to these nodes as follows:

vagrant ssh controller
vagrant ssh cinder

This recipe assumes you have created an openrc file. To create an openrc file on each node where you need it, open a text file named openrc and add the following contents:

export OS_TENANT_NAME=cookbook
export OS_USERNAME=admin
export OS_PASSWORD=openstack
export OS_AUTH_URL=https://192.168.100.200:5000/v2.0/
export OS_KEY=/path/to/cakey.pem
export OS_CACERT=/path/to/ca.pem

How to do it...

In our multi-node installation, we will need to configure the controller, compute, and cinder nodes. Thus, we have broken down the instructions in that order.
