Re: [Rdo-list] Manila configuration Kilo

Hi, I have managed to get our storage team here to give me access to a NetApp. So I started reading this in detail - http://netapp.github.io/openstack-deploy-ops-guide/kilo/content/section_m... and it became quickly apparent that there appears to be no mention of a particular functionality we may need.... To elaborate - We have existing NFS exports containing files that we would like to make available to instances directly with Manila. All the documentation I have read both from NetApp and Openstack concentrates on creating new Manila shares, in NetApp speak this means the NetApp Manila backend acting on an API call to create a new FlexVol (Manila share) on the NetApp NFS filer. So how do you import existing FlexVols (NFS exports) into Manila? I looks briefly at the code and only came up with this Class that looked promising (but equally may be a red herring)- >> grep -ir -B 1 -A5 "existing" /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/manila/api/contrib/share_manage.py class Share_manage(extensions.ExtensionDescriptor): """Allows existing share to be 'managed' by Manila.""" name = 'ShareManage' alias = 'os-share-manage' updated = '2015-02-17T00:00:00+00:00' >> Am I missing something here (which is entirely possible) or does the API not yet expose this functionality?
