Description Rajini Karthik 2016-10-17 16:24:17 UTC
Description of problem:
Running RHOSP9 , multi-backend ceph, eqlx, compellent:
On clusters using multi-backend storage, Ceph should be the default volume storage as it was in OSP8. In OSP9, EQXL is the default volume backend.
If you do a “cinder create myvolume”, it automatically creates an eqlx volume. In OSP8, Ceph was the default.
There is a param in cinder.conf that specifies a default volume type, but it is commented out.
Default volume type to use (string value)
#default_volume_type = <None>

If there is a way to specify this in the yaml heat templates, please let us know

When multiple backends are enabled cinder will use the one with the most available free space, there isn't a "default" unless operators excplicitly create volume_types and ser a default volume_type.

Comment 3 Keith Schincke 2017-07-19 15:03:07 UTC
Need documentation fix for commands needed to set the default storage type. OSPd does not support setting a default on deployment.

Comment 4 Lucy Bopf 2017-07-27 02:24:55 UTC
Clearing target release pending docs triage.

Comment 6 Cheryl Minkema 2019-01-28 19:20:09 UTC
