Hedvig provides software-defined storage for enterprises building private, hybrid, or multi-cloud environments. Hedvig’s patented Universal Data Plane technology forms a distributed, scale-out cluster that transforms commodity servers or cloud computing into a unified data fabric.
The Hedvig Cinder Driver interacts with a configured backend Hedvig Cluster using REST APIs.
With the Hedvig Volume Driver for OpenStack, you can :
Build a unified hybrid environment to easily migrate to or from your data center and public clouds.
Assign enterprise-class features on a per volume basis to best fit your application requirements.
Use with any hypervisor, application, or bare-metal system.
Scale storage performance and capacity on-the-fly with off-the-shelf x86 servers.
Receive consistent high-IOPS performance for demanding applications through massive parallelism, dedicated flash, and edge cache configurations.
Hedvig Volume Driver, version 1.0.0 and later, supports Hedvig release 3.0 and later.
Hedvig supports the core features of OpenStack Cinder:
The Hedvig Volume Driver can be configured by editing the cinder.conf file located in the /etc/cinder/ directory.
[DEFAULT]
enabled_backends=hedvig
[HEDVIG_BACKEND_NAME]
volume_driver=cinder.volume.drivers.hedvig.hedvig_cinder.HedvigISCSIDriver
san_ip=<Comma-separated list of HEDVIG_IP/HOSTNAME of the cluster nodes>
san_login=HEDVIG_USER
san_password=HEDVIG_PASSWORD
san_clustername=HEDVIG_CLUSTER
Run the following commands on the OpenStack Cinder Node to create a Volume Type for Hedvig:
cinder type-create HEDVIG_VOLUME_TYPE
cinder type-key HEDVIG_VOLUME_TYPE set volume_backend_name=HEDVIG_BACKEND_NAME
