Shared storage and synchronized UID/GID
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
Deployers can specify a custom UID for the nova user and GID for the nova group
|
||||
to ensure they are identical on each host. This is helpful when using shared
|
||||
storage on compute nodes because it allows instances to migrate without
|
||||
filesystem ownership failures.
|
||||
|
||||
By default, Ansible will create the nova user and group without specifying the
|
||||
UID or GID. To specify custom values for the UID/GID, set the following
|
||||
Ansible variables:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: yaml
|
||||
|
||||
nova_system_user_uid = <specify a UID>
|
||||
nova_system_group_gid = <specify a GID>
|
||||
|
||||
**WARNING:** Setting this value **after** deploying an environment with
|
||||
OpenStack-Ansible can cause failures, errors, and general instability. These
|
||||
values should only be set once **before** deploying an OpenStack environment
|
||||
and then never changed.
