ImageStore
On the displayed page, set the following parameters:
- Name: Enter a name for the backup storage.
- Description: Optional. Enter a description for the backup storage.
- Type: Select ImageStore.
- Backup Storage IP: Enter a backup storage IP.
- In the production environment, for the concerns of security and stability concerns, we recommend that you separate the management network from the public network.
- You can assign a management network IP address to the backup storage and save public network bandwidth.
- If the public network has ten-gigabits of bandwidth, you can assign
a public network IP address to the backup storage. This increases
the image transmission rate between the backup storage and compute
nodes.
In most cases, adding or saving an image consumes large amounts of bandwidth. If you assign a public network IP address to the backup storage, we recommend that you add or save an image during network idle time.
- You can set a dedicated storage network if necessary.
- Mount Path: Specify a path on the backup storage that corresponds to sufficient storage space, for example, /ImageStore_bs.
- Retrieve Existing Image: Choose whether to retrieve images stored in the specified path.
- SSH Port: Enter an SSH port for the backup storage. Default: 22. If you do not specify an SSH port for the backup storage, the system uses port 22 as the SSH port.
- User Name: Enter a username. By default, root user is
used. You can also specify a normal user.
- If you do not specify a normal user for the backup storage, the root user is used.
- If you specify a normal user, the user must have the sudo permission.
- Password: Enter a password for the user. Note the password is case sensitive.
