ALBA ASD manager

The ALBA ASD manager is a lightweight library exposing an API for easy setup and configuration management of the ALBA ASD's. It is not in the data path towards the disks, it's main purpose is to provide an easy way to:

  • list the block devices in your node
  • initialize them as an ASD (Alba Storage device)
  • get the ip addresses of your storage node
  • configure the storage ip address to be used
  • restart an ASD
  • etc .

The current methods exposed can be found in api.py

Install

It's packaged as the Open vStorage Backend ASD Manager into openvstorage-sdm

apt-get install openvstorage-sdm

Post install a very short setup needs to get completed to initialize it after which it will get automatically started
