|
||||
|
||||
The procedure below will create a 90GB data volume and 4GB metadata volume to
|
||||
use as backing for the storage pool. It assumes that you have a spare block
|
||||
device at `/dev/sdd` with enough free space to complete the task. The device

Any existing images or data are lost by this process.

1. Log in to the Docker host you want to configure and stop the Docker daemon.

|

1. Log in to the Docker host you want to configure.
|
||||
2. If it is running, stop the Engine daemon.
|
||||
3. Install the logical volume management version 2.
|
||||
2. If it exists, delete your existing image store by removing the
|
||||
`/var/lib/docker` directory.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ yum install lvm2
|
||||
```
|
||||
4. Create a physical volume replacing `/dev/sdd` with your block device.
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ sudo rm -rf /var/lib/docker
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ pvcreate /dev/sdd
|
||||
```
|
||||
3. Create an LVM physical volume (PV) on your spare block device using the
|
||||
`pvcreate` command.
|
||||
|
||||
5. Create a 'docker' volume group.
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ sudo pvcreate /dev/xvdf
|
||||
Physical volume `/dev/xvdf` successfully created
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ vgcreate docker /dev/sdd
|
||||
```
|
||||
The device identifier may be different on your system. Remember to substitute
|
||||
your value in the command above. If your host is running on AWS EC2, you may
|
||||
need to install `lvm2` and <a href="http://goo.gl/Q5pUwG"
|
||||
target="_blank">attach an EBS device</a> to use this procedure.
|
||||
|
||||
6. Create a thin pool named `thinpool`.
|
||||
4. Create a new volume group (VG) called `vg-docker` using the PV created in
|
||||
the previous step.
|
||||
|
||||
In this example, the data logical is 95% of the 'docker' volume group size.
|
||||
Leaving this free space allows for auto expanding of either the data or
|
||||
metadata if space runs low as a temporary stopgap.
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ sudo vgcreate vg-docker /dev/xvdf
|
||||
Volume group `vg-docker` successfully created
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ lvcreate --wipesignatures y -n thinpool docker -l 95%VG
|
||||
$ lvcreate --wipesignatures y -n thinpoolmeta docker -l 1%VG
|
||||
```
|
||||
5. Create a new 90GB logical volume (LV) called `data` from space in the
|
||||
`vg-docker` volume group.
|
||||
|
||||
7. Convert the pool to a thin pool.
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ sudo lvcreate -L 90G -n data vg-docker
|
||||
Logical volume `data` created.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ lvconvert -y --zero n -c 512K --thinpool docker/thinpool --poolmetadata docker/thinpoolmeta
|
||||
```
|
||||
The command creates an LVM logical volume called `data` and an associated
|
||||
block device file at `/dev/vg-docker/data`. In a later step, you instruct the
|
||||
`devicemapper` storage driver to use this block device to store image and
|
||||
container data.
|
||||
|
||||
8. Configure autoextension of thin pools via an `lvm` profile.
|
||||
If you receive a signature detection warning, make sure you are working on
|
||||
the correct devices before continuing. Signature warnings indicate that the
|
||||
device you're working on is currently in use by LVM or has been used by LVM in
|
||||
the past.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ vi /etc/lvm/profile/docker-thinpool.profile
|
||||
```
|
||||
6. Create a new logical volume (LV) called `metadata` from space in the
|
||||
`vg-docker` volume group.
|
||||
|
||||
9. Specify 'thin_pool_autoextend_threshold' value.
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ sudo lvcreate -L 4G -n metadata vg-docker
|
||||
Logical volume `metadata` created.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The value should be the percentage of space used before `lvm` attempts
|
||||
to autoextend the available space (100 = disabled).
|
||||
This creates an LVM logical volume called `metadata` and an associated
|
||||
block device file at `/dev/vg-docker/metadata`. In the next step you instruct
|
||||
the `devicemapper` storage driver to use this block device to store image and
|
||||
container metadata.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
thin_pool_autoextend_threshold = 80
|
||||
```
|
||||
7. Start the Docker daemon with the `devicemapper` storage driver and the
|
||||
`--storage-opt` flags.
|
||||
|
||||
10. Modify the `thin_pool_autoextend_percent` for when thin pool autoextension occurs.
|
||||
The `data` and `metadata` devices that you pass to the `--storage-opt`
|
||||
options were created in the previous steps.
|
||||
|
||||
The value's setting is the perentage of space to increase the thin pool (100 =
|
||||
disabled)
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ sudo docker daemon --storage-driver=devicemapper --storage-opt dm.datadev=/dev/vg-docker/data --storage-opt dm.metadatadev=/dev/vg-docker/metadata &

||||

||||
```
|
||||
thin_pool_autoextend_percent = 20
|
||||
```
|
||||
It is also possible to set the `--storage-driver` and `--storage-opt` flags
|
||||
in the Docker config file and start the daemon normally using the `service` or
|
||||
`systemd` commands.
|
||||
|
||||
11. Check your work, your `docker-thinpool.profile` file should appear similar to the following:
|
||||
8. Use the `docker info` command to verify that the daemon is using `data` and
|
||||
`metadata` devices you created.
|
||||
|
||||
An example `/etc/lvm/profile/docker-thinpool.profile` file:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
activation {
|
||||
thin_pool_autoextend_threshold=80
|
||||
thin_pool_autoextend_percent=20
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
12. Apply your new lvm profile
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ lvchange --metadataprofile docker-thinpool docker/thinpool
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
13. Verify the `lv` is monitored.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ lvs -o+seg_monitor
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
14. If Engine was previously started, clear your graph driver directory.
|
||||
|
||||
Clearing your graph driver removes any images and containers in your Docker
|
||||
installation.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ rm -rf /var/lib/docker/*
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
14. Configure the Engine daemon with specific devicemapper options.
|
||||
|
||||
There are two ways to do this. You can set options on the commmand line if you start the daemon there:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
--storage-driver=devicemapper --storage-opt=dm.thinpooldev=/dev/mapper/docker-thinpool --storage-opt dm.use_deferred_removal=true
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You can also set them for startup in the `daemon.json` configuration, for example:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"storage-driver": "devicemapper",
|
||||
"storage-opts": [
|
||||
"dm.thinpooldev=/dev/mapper/docker-thinpool",
|
||||
"dm.use_deferred_removal=true"
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
15. Start the Engine daemon.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ systemctl start docker
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
After you start the Engine daemon, ensure you monitor your thin pool and volume
|
||||
group free space. While the volume group will auto-extend, it can still fill
|
||||
up. To monitor logical volumes, use `lvs` without options or `lvs -a` to see tha
|
||||
data and metadata sizes. To monitor volume group free space, use the `vgs` command.
|
||||
|
||||
Logs can show the auto-extension of the thin pool when it hits the threshold, to
|
||||
view the logs use:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
journalctl -fu dm-event.service
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If you run into repeated problems with thin pool, you can use the
|
||||
`dm.min_free_space` option to tune the Engine behavior. This value ensures that
|
||||
operations fail with a warning when the free space is at or near the minimum.
|
||||

|
||||
