[gpfsug-discuss] GPFS support for latest stable release of OpenStack (called Queens https://www.openstack.org/software/queens/)

[Brian Nelson]

The only OpenStack component that GPFS explicitly ships is Swift, which is
used for the Object protocol of the Protocols Support capability.  The
latest version included is Swift at the Pike release.  That was first made
available in the GPFS 5.0.1.0 release.

The other way that GPFS can be used is as the backing store for many
OpenStack components, as you can see in this table:


https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/STXKQY_5.0.0/com.ibm.spectrum.scale.v5r00.doc/bl1ins_openstackusecase.htm

The GPFS drivers for those components were written in the Liberty/Mitaka
timeframe.  We generally do not certify every OpenStack release against
GPFS.  However, we have not had any compatibility issues with later
releases, and I would expect Queens to also work fine with GPFS storage.

Hello Guys,

Greetings!

Could you please help me figure out the level of GPFS's support for latest
stable release of OpenStack which is called as Queens?

I have few queries around that,

1. Does GPFS support Queens release for OpenStack Cinder, Glance, Manilla
and Swift services? If yes, which GPFS release(s)?
2. If I would need to integrate GPFS GUI with OpenStack Horizon (the
dashboard service), can it be done? If yes, how can I do that? Does GPFS
GUI provides any such APIs which could be used for this integration
purpose?

Guys, request you kindly help me find answer to these queries. Your help
will much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
pR_______________________________________________
