Cannot snapshot cinder volumes

lionel — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 05:24:05 GMT

Hi all,

I've successfully configured cinder (juno) so that it can creates and attach correctly volumes to instances. Here's my config in cinder.conf:

volume_driver = cinder.volume.drivers.netapp.common.NetAppDriver
netapp_storage_family = ontap_cluster
netapp_storage_protocol = nfs
netapp_vserver = vserver01
netapp_server_hostname = 192.168.248.250
netapp_server_port = 80
netapp_login = admin
netapp_password = ******
nfs_shares_config = /etc/cinder/nfs_shares

Unfortunately, when I trigger a volume snapshot through horizon, I get this stacktrace from cinder-volume.log:

I'm pretty confident with my settings since volume creating, resize and attachment work correctly.

Any idea what else could I check?

thank you,

cheers

Hi there,

I figured out what the problem was.

Actually, the junction path for the export in Netapp was /vol_cinder_juno.

I then created a "volumes" folder and told cinder to mount this path in the /etc/cinder/nfs_shares:

192.168.20.100:/vol_cinder_juno/volumes

This does not work. One needs to specify the exact junction path for the NFS server. So I changed my nfs_shares file to:

192.168.20.100:/vol_cinder_juno

and everything works correctly.

Please notice that once you did this change, you need to

1. delete all cinder volumes you have created

2. stop all cinder services

3. manually umount NFS mountpoint on the controller (or the server on which cinder-volume runs) in /var/lib/cinder/mnt/#UUID

4. start all cinder services

5. create volume

6. snapshot the volume

should work

cheers
