As I branch out of the networking world and into general systems administration duties, I find myself having to learn a lot more about the tools and utilities used to manage said systems. I recently deployed Cinder in my OpenStack-Ansible based homelab, and am attempting to learn and use the tools available to me in a more efficient way.
My OpenStack cluster consists of the following:
- 1x Infrastructure Node: HP DL360e G8 (4x LFF)
- 1x Compute Node: HP DL380p G8 (12x LFF w/ HP 420i)
The task was simple: Add a new disk to the host to be setup in a RAID 0 and used for Cinder volumes.
