NAME

tcmu-runner - A daemon that handles the userspace side of the LIO TCM-User backstore

DESCRIPTION

tcmu-runner is a service that provides an operating environment for LIO TCM-User handlers. These currently include handlers for Gluster glfs and the qcow and qcow2 image formats.

USAGE

While normally started automatically via D-Bus system activation, tcmu-runner can also be run as root directly, usually for debugging and development purposes.

OPTIONS

-h, --help

Print usage information

-d, --debug

Enable debug messages

-V, --version

Print tcmu-runner’s version

CONFIGURING HANDLERS

TCMU-backed handlers are typically configured using normal LIO configuration tools, such as targetcli . Part of doing this will be entering a handler-specific configuration string.

CONFIGURING GLUSTER HANDLER (glfs)

This handler uses the Gluster glfs API to use Gluster as a backstore for the image file.

Its configuration string is:

volume @ hostname / filename

volume: The volume on the Gluster server
hostname: The server’s hostname
filename: The backing file

CONFIGURING QCOW HANDLER (qcow)

This handler supports qcow, qcow2, or raw image file formats.

Its configuration string is:

path

path: The full path to a file of a supported file format. The file must already have been created using qemu-img .
