Matthew Kassawara 5eb78aad48 [install] Liberty updates for swift
Update swift configuration for Liberty. Includes moving
basic host configuration of object storage nodes to
environment section. Also addresses some consistency
issues, mostly from the RST conversion.

Changes and testing specific to distribution packages
primarily involve Ubuntu. Other distributions may require
additional patches.

.. _swift-storage:
Install and configure the storage nodes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This section describes how to install and configure storage nodes
that operate the account, container, and object services. For
simplicity, this configuration references two storage nodes, each
containing two empty local block storage devices. The instructions
use ``/dev/sdb`` and ``/dev/sdc``, but you can substitute different
values for your particular nodes.
Although Object Storage supports any file system with
:term:`extended attributes (xattr)`, testing and benchmarking
indicate the best performance and reliability on :term:`XFS`. For
more information on horizontally scaling your environment, see the
`Deployment Guide <http://docs.openstack.org/developer/swift/deployment_guide.html>`_.
Prerequisites
-------------
Before you install and configure the Object Storage service on the
storage nodes, you must prepare the storage devices.
.. note::
Perform these steps on each storage node.
#. Install the supporting utility packages:
.. only:: ubuntu or debian
.. code-block:: console
# apt-get install xfsprogs rsync
.. only:: rdo
.. code-block:: console
# yum install xfsprogs rsync
.. only:: obs
.. code-block:: console
# zypper install xfsprogs rsync
#. Format the ``/dev/sdb`` and ``/dev/sdc`` devices as XFS:
.. code-block:: console
# mkfs.xfs /dev/sdb
# mkfs.xfs /dev/sdc
#. Create the mount point directory structure:
.. code-block:: console
# mkdir -p /srv/node/sdb
# mkdir -p /srv/node/sdc
#. Edit the ``/etc/fstab`` file and add the following to it:
.. code-block:: ini
/dev/sdb /srv/node/sdb xfs noatime,nodiratime,nobarrier,logbufs=8 0 2
/dev/sdc /srv/node/sdc xfs noatime,nodiratime,nobarrier,logbufs=8 0 2
#. Mount the devices:
.. code-block:: console
# mount /srv/node/sdb
# mount /srv/node/sdc
#. Edit the ``/etc/rsyncd.conf`` file and add the following to it:
.. code-block:: ini
uid = swift
gid = swift
log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log
pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid
address = MANAGEMENT_INTERFACE_IP_ADDRESS
[account]
max connections = 2
path = /srv/node/
read only = false
lock file = /var/lock/account.lock
[container]
max connections = 2
path = /srv/node/
read only = false
lock file = /var/lock/container.lock
[object]
max connections = 2
path = /srv/node/
read only = false
lock file = /var/lock/object.lock
Replace ``MANAGEMENT_INTERFACE_IP_ADDRESS`` with the IP address of the
management network on the storage node.
.. note::
The ``rsync`` service requires no authentication, so consider running
it on a private network in production environments.
.. only:: ubuntu or debian
5. Edit the ``/etc/default/rsync`` file and enable the ``rsync``
service:
.. code-block:: ini
RSYNC_ENABLE=true
6. Start the ``rsync`` service:
.. code-block:: console
# service rsync start
.. only:: obs or rdo
5. Start the ``rsyncd`` service and configure it to start when the
system boots:
.. code-block:: console
# systemctl enable rsyncd.service
# systemctl start rsyncd.service
Install and configure components
--------------------------------
.. include:: shared/note_configuration_vary_by_distribution.rst
.. note::
Perform these steps on each storage node.
#. Install the packages:
.. only:: ubuntu or debian
.. code-block:: console
# apt-get install swift swift-account swift-container swift-object
.. only:: rdo
.. code-block:: console
# yum install openstack-swift-account openstack-swift-container \
openstack-swift-object
.. only:: obs
.. code-block:: console
# zypper install openstack-swift-account \
openstack-swift-container openstack-swift-object python-xml
.. only:: ubuntu or rdo or debian
2. Obtain the accounting, container, object, container-reconciler, and
object-expirer service configuration files from the Object Storage
source repository:
.. code-block:: console
# curl -o /etc/swift/account-server.conf \
https://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/swift/plain/etc/account-server.conf-sample?h=stable/liberty
# curl -o /etc/swift/container-server.conf \
https://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/swift/plain/etc/container-server.conf-sample?h=stable/liberty
# curl -o /etc/swift/object-server.conf \
https://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/swift/plain/etc/object-server.conf-sample?h=stable/liberty
# curl -o /etc/swift/container-reconciler.conf \
https://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/swift/plain/etc/container-reconciler.conf-sample?h=stable/liberty
# curl -o /etc/swift/object-expirer.conf \
https://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/swift/plain/etc/object-expirer.conf-sample?h=stable/liberty

4. .. include:: swift-storage-include2.txt
5. .. include:: swift-storage-include3.txt
6. Ensure proper ownership of the mount point directory structure:
.. code-block:: console
# chown -R root:swift /srv/node
7. Create the ``recon`` directory and ensure proper ownership of it:
.. code-block:: console
# mkdir -p /var/cache/swift
# chown -R root:swift /var/cache/swift
.. only:: obs
2. .. include:: swift-storage-include1.txt

4. .. include:: swift-storage-include3.txt
5. Ensure proper ownership of the mount point directory structure:

# chown -R root:swift /srv/node
