Introduction

============

|
|
|
The OpenStack File Share service allows you to offer shared file systems
|
|
service to OpenStack users in your installation. The Shared File Systems
|
|
service can run in a single-node or multiple node configuration.
|
|
The Shared File Systems service can be configured to provision shares
|
|
from one or more back ends, so it is required to declare at least one
|
|
back end. Shared File System service contains several configurable
|
|
components.
|
|
|
|
It is important to understand these components:
|
|
|
|
* Share networks
|
|
* Shares
|
|
* Multi-tenancy
|
|
* Back ends
|
|
|
|
The Shared File Systems service consists of four types of services,
|
|
most of which are similar to those of the Block Storage service:
|
|
|
|
- ``manila-api``
|
|
- ``manila-data``
|
|
- ``manila-scheduler``
|
|
- ``manila-share``
|
|
|
|
Installation of first three - ``manila-api``, ``manila-data``, and
|
|
``manila-scheduler`` is common for almost all deployments. But configuration
|
|
of ``manila-share`` is backend-specific and can differ from deployment to
|
|
deployment.
