Manila is configured by changing the contents of the manila.conf
file and restarting all of the Manila processes. Depending on the
OpenStack distribution used, this may require issuing commands such as
service openstack-manila-api restart or
service manila-api restart.
The manila.conf file contains a set of configuration options (one
per line), specified as option_name=value. Configuration options
are grouped together into a stanza, denoted by [stanza_name]. There
must be at least one stanza named [DEFAULT] that contains
configuration parameters that apply generically to Manila (and not to
any particular backend). Configuration options that are associated with
a particular Manila backend should be placed in a separate stanza.
Note
While it is possible to specify driver-specific configuration
options within the [DEFAULT] stanza, you are unable to define
multiple Manila backends within the [DEFAULT] stanza. NetApp
strongly recommends that you specify driver-specific configuration
in separate named stanzas, being sure to list the backends that
should be enabled as the value for the configuration option
enabled_share_backends; for example:
enabled_share_backends=clusterOne,clusterTwo
The enabled_share_backends option should be specified within the
[DEFAULT] configuration stanza.
