cannot create volumes with edge stein (cinder not enabled)

Work to make volume setup for Cinder more automagic (and possibly include ceph) is on roadmap, but isn't complete yet.

In the meantime, you should be able to setup lvm with Cinder by following the docs here: https://docs.openstack.org/cinder/stein/install/cinder-storage-install-obs.html

Note that you can include any configuration the docs mention by dropping files into /var/snap/microstack/common/etc/cinder/cinder.conf.d

Ok I will try that,

So for example when they are mentioning in the docs the file
/etc/cinder/cinder.conf
(
https://docs.openstack.org/cinder/stein/install/cinder-storage-install-obs.html#install-and-configure-components
)
I should create one at
/var/snap/microstack/common/etc/cinder/cinder.conf.d/cinder.conf ?

Before doing that I think I should follow these steps since they are no
cinder users right ?

When I am trying to install cinder myself :
https://docs.openstack.org/cinder/stein/install/cinder-controller-install-ubuntu.html
openstack service create --name cinderv2 \ --description "OpenStack Block
Storage" volumev2

I have this error :

openstack service create: error: unrecognized arguments: Storage volumev2

Do you have any ideas ?

@ltetrel: I bet that you're running into an issue with spaces in commands passed to microstack.openstack. You can work around it for now by running:

    sudo snap run --shell microstack.init
    source $SNAP_COMMON/etc/microstack.rc
    openstack <your command with spaces>

The offending bit of bash is here: https://opendev.org/x/microstack/src/branch/master/snap-wrappers/openstack/openstack-wrapper (That $@ needs to be wrapped in either single or double quotes, I believe.)

Hi,

I managed to setup the cinder service until the step where I need to start the service.
How do I start (and add to autostart) the cinder(-scheduler) service within microstack?

Regards
Lukas

@lweberru,

To complete the guide there is no mention that the "systemd" service snap.microstack.*.services are autogenerated from whats seems to be the snap install. This means that for you to enable the services and make them "autostart" it will have to be done manually by creating the service in "/etc/systemd/system/". I'm adding as an example cinder-scheduler and this was repeated for cinder-uwsgi as well. Once created the service just start the new services if some issues still arise just restart the whole service batch ( systemctl restart snap.microstack.* )

file: snap.microstack.cinder-scheduler.service
