I have been reading about the support jclouds added to the Cinder Openstack API, and i was looking at this example usage on Rackspace Cloud.
https://github.com/jclouds/jclouds-examples/blob/master/rackspace/src/main/java/org/jclouds/examples/rackspace/cloudblockstorage/CreateVolumeAndAttach.java
does anybody know is this is supported for HP Cloud as well? if not, how can i use HP Cloud Block Storage with jclouds?
thanks a lot!
You should be able to use the Cinder API with HP but I tried it out and it wasn't working. Here's what I did.
Iterable<Module> modules = ImmutableSet.<Module> of(new SLF4JLoggingModule());
RestContext<CinderApi, CinderAsyncApi> cinder = ContextBuilder.newBuilder("openstack-cinder")
.endpoint("https://region-a.geo-1.identity.hpcloudsvc.com:35357/v2.0/")
.apiVersion("1.1")
.credentials(myHpTenantName + ":" + myHpUsername, myHpPassword)
.modules(modules)
.build(CinderApiMetadata.CONTEXT_TOKEN);
VolumeApi volumeApi = cinder.getApi().getVolumeApiForZone("az-1.region-a.geo-1");
System.out.println(volumeApi.list());
The call to list() returns an empty list but with logging turned on I can see that it's actually a 404 causing the empty list to be returned. The URL that's created to list the volumes is
https://az-1.region-a.geo-1.compute.hpcloudsvc.com/v1.1/myHpTenantId/volumes
Which I think should be valid according to the HP service catalog but it's returning a 404.
I'll ping someone I know from HP and see if we can get to the bottom of this.
HP Cloud's support for the OpenStack Block Storage (Cinder) API is coming soon. Please refer to our API documentation for reference to the currently supported Block Storage APIs: https://docs.hpcloud.com/api/block-storage/
