I am working with Cinder Multi Backends on an Icehouse installation and have added another backend (Quobyte) to a previously running Cinder/Ceph installation. I can now create QuoByte volumes, but no longer any ceph volumes. The cinder-scheduler log get?s an incorrect number for the free size of the volumes pool and disregards the RBD backend as a viable storage system: 2014-08-21 16:42:49.847 1469 DEBUG cinder.openstack.common.scheduler.filters.capabilities_filter [r...] extra_spec requirement 'rbd' does not match 'quobyte' _satisfies_extra_specs /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/cinder/openstack/common/scheduler/filters/capabilities_filter.py:55 2014-08-21 16:42:49.848 1469 DEBUG cinder.openstack.common.scheduler.filters.capabilities_filter [r...] host 'controller at quobyte': free_capacity_gb: 156395.931061 fails resource_type extra_specs requirements host_passes /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/cinder/openstack/common/scheduler/filters/capabilities_filter.py:68 2014-08-21 16:42:49.848 1469 WARNING cinder.scheduler.filters.capacity_filter [r...-] Insufficient free space for volume creation (requested / avail): 20/8.0 2014-08-21 16:42:49.849 1469 ERROR cinder.scheduler.flows.create_volume [r.] Failed to schedule_create_volume: No valid host was found. here?s our /etc/cinder/cinder.conf ? cut ?
