Provision a VM on Jetstream for serving shared data storage volume with staging and production servers #50

Closed tmcphillips closed 6 years ago

tmcphillips commented 6 years ago

An OpenStack data volume can only be mounted directly on one VM instance at a time. For multiple instances (e.g. the staging and production servers) to share a file system, the underlying volume must be mounted on these instance some other way, e.g. via NFS. We likely need a separate VM instance just to be the file server, and possibly the host through which data is synchronized with Nebula.

XSEDE staff confirm that sharing the volume via NFS is the correct approach.

I just created a new VM instance to be file server, set its DNS name, and enabled NFS service on it. Now setting up the network security group to restrict NFS connections.

I partitioned and formatted the new 8TB data volume and mounted it locally on tacc-fs.
