Description Punit Kundal 2018-07-05 10:25:53 UTC
Description of problem:

Hello,

We provide specific instructions for configuring NFS as a backend for Glance and Cinder in our documentation at [1].

The same way we should also have instructions in the documentation for configuring NFS as a backend for the nova ephemeral storage.

We can still manually configure the nfs backend on the compute nodes after the overcloud has been deployed; but a stack update is killing the containers and hence after the stack update is complete; instances are unable to access the backend storage and therefore they won't start up.

Just to note, there are additional changes required:

* BZ1599289 tracks changes to openstack-selinux policy
* BZ1594261 tracks changes to file permission changes on nova compute container restart.
