How can I attach a volume to VM using netapp volume driver?

Hi, I set my openstack volume driver to NetAppISCSIDriver.

(nova version is essex milestone-1, I think it's too old, but It's not important)

I also configured some flags for driver.

This is my configuration.(nova.conf)

42 ### volume configuration

43 --volume_manager=nova.volume.manager.VolumeManager

45 --volume_driver=nova.volume.netapp.NetAppISCSIDriver

46 --netapp_login=administrator

47 --netapp_password=password

48 --netapp_server_hostname=10.4.1.252

49 --netapp_server_port=8088

50 --netapp_storage_service=Cloud

52 --netapp_wsdl_url=http://10.4.1.252/dfm.wsdl

53 --netapp_storage_service_prefix=cloud-

When I create volume It looks like normal.

~$ nova volume-create 5 --display_name jaesang3 --availability_zone b_zone

~$ nova volume-list

+----+-----------+-----------------+------+--------------------------------------+

| ID |   Status  |   Display Name  | Size |             Attached to              |

+----+-----------+-----------------+------+--------------------------------------+

| 35 | available | jaesang3        | 5    | None                                 |

+----+-----------+-----------------+------+--------------------------------------+

It's value of volumes table.

But When I attach volume to VM, It looks like abnormal.

This is my block_device_mapping db table.

You can see volume_id is different. BUT every device_path is same. So when I mount a volume in VM,  wrong volume mounted.

When I use HP san volume driver, every device_path is different. for example,

mysql> select id,instance_id,volume_id,connection_info from block_device_mapping where deleted=0 limit 3\G

Why Netapp driver set device_path is same? Is this normal situation?

Please help me in understanding setup using netapp driver.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Jay,

It actually is relevant that your Nova version is Essex-1.  There were a few fixes / enhancements that our driver required that came fairly late in the Essex development cycle.  Could you 1) retry with latest Essex-stable and 2) also make use of the most recent version of the driver intended to be used w/ Essex here:

Thanks!
