Using OpenStack Shared File Systems

Before working with the Shared File System service, you’ll need to create a connection to your OpenStack cloud by following the Connect user guide. This will provide you with the conn variable used in the examples below.

List Availability Zones

A Shared File System service availability zone is a failure domain for your shared file systems. You may create a shared file system (referred to simply as shares) in a given availability zone, and create replicas of the share in other availability zones.

Share Instances

Administrators can list, show information for, explicitly set the state of, and force-delete share instances.

Get Share Instance

Shows details for a single share instance.

Reset Share Instance Status

Explicitly updates the state of a share instance.

Delete Share Instance

Force-deletes a share instance.

Resize Share

Shared File System shares can be resized (extended or shrunk) to a given size. For details on resizing shares, refer to the Manila docs.
