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 Control Panel or the OVHcloud API.

Requirements

• A Cloud Disk Array solution

OVHcloud Control Panel Access

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

Instructions

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.

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.

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

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"
  }
]
