Standalone Network Plugin: Use this plugin in stand-alone deployments of OpenStack Manila, and in deployments where you don’t desire to manage the storage network with Neutron. IP settings (address range, subnet mask, gateway, version, MTU) are all defined through configuration options within the driver-specific stanza. This network can either be segmented (VLAN) or non-segmented (FLAT). Overlay networks (VxLAN, GRE, Geneve) are not supported by the NetApp driver.
Tenants must not specify Neutron network information when creating
share network objects. Values for segmentation protocol, IP address,
netmask and gateway are obtained from manila.conf
when creating a
new share server.
The network plugin is chosen by setting the value of the network_api_class configuration option within the driver-specific stanza of the manila.conf configuration file.
To set up the standalone network plugin, the following options should be
added to the driver-specific stanza within the Manila configuration file
(manila.conf
):
network_api_class = manila.network.standalone_network_plugin.StandaloneNetworkPlugin
standalone_network_plugin_allowed_ip_ranges = 10.0.0.10-10.0.0.254
standalone_network_plugin_ip_version = 4
standalone_network_plugin_segmentation_id = 314
standalone_network_plugin_network_type = vlan
standalone_network_plugin_mask = 255.255.255.0
standalone_network_plugin_gateway = 10.0.0.1
standalone_network_plugin_mtu = 1500
The following table lists the configuration options available for the standalone network plugin:
