Cloud Disk Array - IP ACL creation

View as Markdown

This guide shows you how to create an IP ACL to allow access to your Ceph cluster

Objective

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

Requirements

OVHcloud Control Panel Access

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

Instructions

Info

Using the OVHcloud Control Panel is the easiest way to create an IP ACL.

Using the OVHcloud Control Panel

On your Cloud Disk Array service page, go to the IP Access Control tab. By default, there is no ACL.

Ceph pools

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

Add your IP.

Ceph pools

Then create the IP ACL.

After the pool creation, you can see that the cluster status has changed because the ACL is being created.

Using the API

Tip

If you are not familiar with the OVHcloud API, read our First Steps with the OVHcloud API guide.

Use the following API call:

POST/dedicated/ceph/{serviceName}/acl

serviceName is the fsid of your cluster.

You can check ACL creation by listing ACL:

GET/dedicated/ceph/{serviceName}/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"
  }
]
