OpenStack Cluster with Synology iSCSI Backend Storage

OpenStack Cluster with Synology iSCSI Backend Storage

Most OpenStack storage guides jump straight to Ceph. That is the right answer for production, but it is a lot of machinery for a lab. If you already have a Synology DSM box, there is a much lighter option: Cinder ships an in-tree driver for Synology (SynoISCSIDriver) that creates one iSCSI LUN per volume. In this post I connect a multinode Kolla Ansible deployment to Synology DSM over iSCSI, with two storage paths and multipath, and boot instances from Synology-backed volumes.
