Description

This module creates a filestore instance. Filestore is a high performance network file system that can be mounted to one or more compute VMs.

For more information on this and other network storage options in the Cloud HPC Toolkit, see the extended Network Storage documentation.

Filestore tiers

At the time of writing, Filestore supports 5 tiers of service that are specified in the Toolkit using the following names:

  • Basic HDD: "BASIC_HDD" (preferred) or "STANDARD" (deprecated)
  • Basic SSD: "BASIC_SSD" (preferred) or "PREMIUM" (deprecated)
  • Zonal With Higher Capacity Band or High Scale SSD: "HIGH_SCALE_SSD"
  • Enterprise: "ENTERPRISE"
  • Zonal With Lower Capacity Band: "ZONAL"

Please review the minimum storage requirements for each tier. The Terraform module can only enforce the minimum value of the size_gb parameter for the lowest tier of service. If you supply a value that is too low, Filestore creation will fail when you run terraform apply.

Filestore mount options

After Filestore instance is created, you can mount this to the compute node using different mount options. Toolkit uses default mount options for all tier services. Filestore has recommended mount options for different service tiers which may overall improve performance. These can be found here: recommended mount options. While creating filestore module, you can overwrite these mount options as mentioned below.

- id: homefs
  source: modules/file-system/filestore
  use: [network1]
  settings:
    local_mount: /homefs
    mount_options: defaults,hard,timeo=600,retrans=3,_netdev

Filestore quota

Your project must have unused quota for Cloud Filestore in the region you will provision the storage. This can be found by browsing to the Quota tab within IAM & Admin in the Cloud Console. Please note that there are separate quota limits for HDD and SSD storage.

All projects begin with 0 available quota for High Scale SSD tier. To use this tier, make a request and wait for it to be approved.

Example - Basic HDD

The Filestore instance defined below will have the following attributes:

  • (default) BASIC_HDD tier
  • (default) 1TiB capacity
  • homefs module ID
  • mount point at /home
  • connected to the network defined in the network1 module
- id: homefs
  source: modules/file-system/filestore
  use: [network1]
  settings:
    local_mount: /home

Example - High Scale SSD

The Filestore instance defined below will have the following attributes:

  • HIGH_SCALE_SSD tier
  • 10TiB capacity
  • highscale module ID
  • mount point at /projects
  • connected to the VPC network defined in the network1 module
- id: highscale
  source: modules/file-system/filestore
  use: [network1]
  settings:
    filestore_tier: HIGH_SCALE_SSD
    size_gb: 10240
    local_mount: /projects

Mounting

To mount the Filestore instance you must first ensure that the NFS client has been installed and then call the proper mount command.

Both of these steps are automatically handled with the use of the use command in a selection of HPC Toolkit modules. See the compatibility matrix in the network storage doc for a complete list of supported modules. See the hpc-slurm for an example of using this module with Slurm.

If mounting is not automatically handled as described above, the filestore module outputs runners that can be used with the startup-script module to install the client and mount the file system. See the following example:

  - id: filestore
    source: modules/file-system/filestore
    use: [network1]
    settings: {local_mount: /scratch}

  - id: mount-at-startup
    source: modules/scripts/startup-script
    settings:
      runners:
      - $(filestore.install_nfs_client_runner)
      - $(filestore.mount_runner)
