ZStack provides innovative cloud infrastructure for ten major industries
VMware-to-ZStack Case Collection
The report provides three major
solutions and customer case studies for transitioning from VMware to ZStack.
Storage Service
You can rapidly deploy a distributed storage cluster or seamlessly take over an external distributed storage system. You can centrally manage and utilize distributed storage within the platform, maximizing existing storage resources. The platform provides storage monitoring capabilities, allowing direct access to distributed storage overviews, node details, performance metrics, and disk health status.
Deploy Distributed Storage in 3 Steps
Step 1: Upload Installation Package
Prerequisites
- You have prepared the installation package of the distributed storage software.
- The platform management node must be added as a host.
- At least 2 distributed storage nodes have been added as hosts to the platform, and the storage network has been configured for storage nodes using Kernel adapters from hosts or distributed port groups. For more information about configuring storage network, see Create a Kernel Adapter.
- To ensure the distributed storage can achieve MN HA together with the platform, we recommend setting up management node HA in MN Ops before deploying the distributed storage. For more information about setting up management node HA, see Installation and Upgrade Tutorial.
Procedure
- In the navigation pane, choose .
- On the Storage Overview page, click Upload.
- In the Upload Installation Package dialog, set the following parameters:
- Server IP: Display the IP address of the current management node.
In a dual management node environment, this filed displays the IP address of the node where the VIP resides.
- Storage Path: Specify a directory path on the server to store uploaded installation packages and their extracted files.
Note: - Ensure the directory has sufficient available space. Otherwise, installation may fail.
- Do not use system directories such as /, /dev, /proc, /sys, /usr/bin, /bin, or /opt. Using system directories may cause server instability.
- Upload By: Select how to upload an installation package. Options include URL and Local File.
- Server IP: Display the IP address of the current management node.
- Click OK.
Step 2: Deploy Management Service
Procedure
- On the Storage Overview page, click Install.
- In the Deploy Management Service dialog, set the following parameters:
- VIP: Displays the management node IP address in a single management node environment, or the VIP address in a dual management node environment.
- MN IP: Displays the IP address of single or dual management nodes. Enter the management node SSH port and password.
- Database Password: If left blank, the initial database password will be used by default. If the password has been changed, enter the new password here.
- Review the configuration and click OK.
