Lab: Managing RHV Storage

Performance Checklist

In this lab, you will create a storage domain using NFS and make it available to the data center and cluster.

Outcomes

You should be able to create an NFS-based data storage domain.

This exercise uses the production data center, the clustertwo cluster, and the hostc host. The NFS traffic uses the storage-net logical network. The host utility.lab.example.com has been configured as an NFS server.

Log in as the student user on workstation and run the lab storage-review start command. This command ensures that the users, hosts, clusters, data centers, and networks of the Red Hat Virtualization environment are configured appropriately. This command also verifies that the NFS share is available.

[student@workstation ~]$ lab storage-review start
  1. Create an NFS-based storage domain called nfs-data to function as the data domain in the production data center. This storage domain should use 172.24.0.8:/exports/data as the NFS export path in the back end for the nfs-data storage domain in the production data center. The 172.24.0.8 IP address belongs to the storage network.

    1. Using the https://rhvm.lab.example.com URL, log in to the Administration Portal of the Red Hat Virtualization Manager. The username is admin, the profile is internal, and the password is redhat.

    2. In the web interface, click Storage on the menu bar, and then click Domains from the options that display.

    3. Click New Domain.

    4. In the New Domain window, set the values of the fields according to the following table.

      FieldValue
      Data Centerproduction
      Domain FunctionData
      Storage TypeNFS
      Hosts to Usehostc.lab.example.com
      Namenfs-data
      Export Path172.24.0.8:/exports/data
    5. Click OK to create the nfs-data storage domain.

    6. From the Storage Domains page under Storage, verify that the nfs-data storage domain exists, and displays the Active status in the Cross Data Center Status column. It may take a couple of minutes for the nfs-data storage domain status to transition from Locked to Active.

  2. Sign out as admin from the Administration Portal.

Evaluation

On workstation, run the lab storage-review grade command to confirm that you have completed this exercise successfully.

[student@workstation ~]$ lab storage-review grade

Finish

On workstation, run the lab storage-review finish script to complete this lab.

[student@workstation ~]$ lab storage-review finish

This concludes the lab.
