+# OpenStack
+
+To enable Vitastor support in an OpenStack installation:
+
+- Install vitastor-client, patched QEMU and libvirt packages from Vitastor DEB or RPM repository
+- Use `patches/nova-21.diff` or `patches/nova-23.diff` to patch your Nova installation.
+  Patch 21 fits Nova 21-22, patch 23 fits Nova 23-24.
+- Install `patches/cinder-vitastor.py` as `..../cinder/volume/drivers/vitastor.py`
+- Define a volume type in cinder.conf (see below)
+- Block network access from VMs to Vitastor network (to OSDs and etcd),
+  because Vitastor doesn't support authentication
+- Restart Cinder and Nova
+
+Cinder volume type configuration example:
+
+```
+[DEFAULT]
+enabled_backends = lvmdriver-1, vitastor-testcluster
+# ...
+
+[vitastor-testcluster]
+volume_driver = cinder.volume.drivers.vitastor.VitastorDriver
+volume_backend_name = vitastor-testcluster
+image_volume_cache_enabled = True
+volume_clear = none
+vitastor_etcd_address = 192.168.7.2:2379
+vitastor_etcd_prefix =
+vitastor_config_path = /etc/vitastor/vitastor.conf
+vitastor_pool_id = 1
+image_upload_use_cinder_backend = True
+```
+
+To put Glance images in Vitastor, use [https://docs.openstack.org/cinder/pike/admin/blockstorage-volume-backed-image.html](volume-backed images),
+although the support has not been verified yet.
