Cloud Disk Array - IP ACL creation

Objective

This guide shows you how to create an IP ACL to allow access to your Ceph cluster, using the OVHcloud Console or the OVHcloud API.

Requirements

• A Cloud Disk Array solution

OVHcloud Console Access

• Direct link: Cloud Disk Array
• Navigation path: Bare Metal Cloud > Storage > Cloud Disk Array > Select your service

Instructions

Using the OVHcloud Console

On your Cloud Disk Array service page, open the IP access tab. By default, there is no ACL.

Get your ip address:

admin@server:~$ ip -4 a
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP group default qlen 1000
    inet 123.123.123.123/32 brd 234.234.234.234 scope global eth0
      valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

Click Add an IP access control. In the panel that opens, enter your IP address in IP with subnet mask (for example 123.123.123.123/32), then click Add an IP access control.

The request is then taken into account. You can follow the operation in progress in the Activities tab.

Using the API

Use the following API call:

serviceName is the fsid of your cluster.

You can check ACL creation by listing ACL:

Example:

GET /dedicated/ceph/98d166d8-7c88-47b7-9cb6-63acd5a59c15/acl
[
  {
    network: "123.123.123.123"
    id: 57054
    netmask: "255.255.255.255"
    family: "IPV4"
  }
]
