Introduction Federator is a Software-Defined Storage controller that simplifies and automates storage management in data centers, most Cloud Computing environments, or Big Data environments. Federator provides storage discovery, abstraction, pooling, offering, self-provisioning, metering and monitoring. It is designed to provide agile and elastic storage to let storage managers and architects harness the full potential of their storage investments. Federator is a storage orchestration technology that discovers both enterprise storage arrays and scale-out storage such as CEPH. It recognizes multiple heterogeneous storage arrays, classifies storage arrays into pools by characteristics, and offers a user friendly browser console for storage management, usage metering and monitoring, security management, and data migration. Federator also comes with a rich set of Restful APIs that enable development of automated enterprise data services to meet diversified storage challenges in both Cloud Computing and in the emerging Big Data industry. The Software-Defined Storage features Federator provides: Automatic discovery of storage systems, and abstraction of physical resources into virtual pools Supports enterprise storage arrays and commodity scale-out storage such as CEPH Classification of storage pools by their capabilities such as performance, latency, protection, etc. Self-provisioning storage upon request Policy based automatic storage provisioning Supports SMI-S and CDMI industry standard management protocols Supports block and file storage through iscsi, FC, NFS, and CIFS protocols* Open HTTP REST API s to enable development of customized data services Built for OpenStack, enabling storage services with unified management for storage systems Note *: Ahwahnee Release supports iscsi block storage only. Deployment Modes Federator can be deployed in a standalone environment to manage storage in data centers or IT back offices. Federator delivers storage to all physical or virtual hosts that support FC or iscsi. A user requests desired storage through a Federator User Dashboard.

Federator Installation and Configuration Guide V1 5 Deployment in an OpenStack environment: Federator provides its storage service to Horizon through Cinder for block storage needs. User allocates storage for use with virtual hosts through OpenStack Horizon. ProphetStor Federator

Hardware Requirements FUEL Server Mirantis FUEL is an OpenStack deployment tool that manages the deployment of OpenStack over hundreds of bare metal machines. Federator and Flexvisor deployments are deeply integrated with FUEL to provide two modes of deployment, i.e. the standalone mode and the OpenStack mode. In OpenStack mode, Federator provisions its storage through cinder interface and serves volume requests from Horizon. It is tightly integrated with OpenStack seamlessly. The standalone mode puts Federator in an enterprise environment and provisions storage to both bare metal or virtual hosts with iscsi or FC interface regardless it is OpenStack, VMware or HyperV.

Browser Support for Federator Dashboard Browers Support Versions Google Chrome > 31.0.1650.57 Firefox > 25.0.1 Microsoft IE 11 Additional Resources OpenStack is a Cloud Management System that manages pools of compute, storage, and networking resources. Users can use Hardware Bill of Materials Calculator to determine how much hardware is needed for a OpenStack cloud and compare different configurations aggregating equipment from a range of vendors.. Storage Network In a Standalone Deployment In most IP based storage systems, two types of network should be considered: the management network and the storage network. Management Network: Most users can configure storage systems via this network interface using a web browser or CLI. Some storage systems, however, have multiple management networks. Federator needs to connect to the storage system via the REST API, CDMI, SMI-S or any other way that Federator supports to create, abstract and offer storage. Storage Network: This is the data path through which most storage systems provide a file, block or object storage device. ProphetStor Federator

8 Federator Installation and Configuration Guide Figure 1: Management and Storage Networks In a Deployment with OpenStack Federator is a Software-Defined Storage controller built for OpenStack and provides the concurrent control that is critical in a highly virtualized environment such as OpenStack. In an OpenStack deployment, there are at least four networks to be considered. Mirantis FUEL is used to configure the network configurations inside an OpenStack environment. A typical OpenStack network configuration is as follows: Table 5. OpenStack network setup sample with FUEL Name NIC IP Function 1 Administrative / PXE / eth0 10.20.0.0 Optional FUEL PXE Deployment Deployment 2 Management eth1 192.168.0.0 OpenStack Management 3 Storage eth2 192.168.1.0 OpenStack Storage 4 VM / Fixed / Private eth3 10.0.0.0 VM to VM network 5 Public + Floating eth4 172.16.0.0 VM <-> Internet ProphetStor Federator @Copyright 2014

Federator Installation and Configuration Guide V1 9 Figure 2: OpenStack network setup example with FUEL Public and floating network is used for communication between a cluster and external networks (the Internet, corporate network, end users). Storage network is part of a cluster s internal network. It is used to separate storage traffic (Nexenta, NetApp, iscsi, and so on) from the other types of cluster s internal communications. Management network is also part of a cluster s internal network. It serves all other internal communications, including DB queries, AMQP messaging, high availability services, and so on. Private network is an internal network used for VM s communications between tenants (also called fixed network or VM network). Administrative network is a network shared between the Fuel master node and all clusters deployed by the Fuel master node. It is used for administrative purposes and network-based installation of Node servers. Please refer to Mirantis FUEL deployment guide for more detail. Installation Create FUEL Server ProphetStor provides Fuel ISO image that is self-install on a virtual machine or on physical hardware. The recommended procedure is as follows: Download the Fuel ISO from www.prophetstor.com to burn a bootable DVD. Power on the FUEL server machine with the FUEL DVD inserted (set DVD drive as default boot device), Fuel boot menu will appear. ProphetStor Federator

10 Federator Installation and Configuration Guide After Fuel completes the installation, point your browser to the default Fuel UI URL: http://10.20.0.2:8000. If you wish to modify the network configuration, etc., you can use fuelmenu to modify the network configuration then point your browser to the IP address and port number that you specified. In the VMware network configuration, it uses host only connection to isolate the FUEL deployment from rest of company network for protection. If it is deployed in a physical network environment, the fuelmenu could be accessed from another machine have access to the 10.20.0.x network. Boot up all deploy nodes Boot all deploy nodes from PXE network to go into Bootstrap mode. FUEL deploy server can discover those bootstrap mode nodes and mark them as Discovered. Figure 3: Boot up nodes to deploy Design a Cloud Environment Users can choose from either Federator standalone or Federator integrated with OpenStack deployment modes to serve enterprise storage service for bare metal or various virtualization environments or just a storage service inside OpenStack. Procedure: In the Fuel UI, create a new OpenStack environment. ProphetStor Federator @Copyright 2014
