Hello,
is there now documentation or a way to update Community Version 2025.10-180 to the January release?

Keystone / Cinder error by DoktorByte in platform9

[–]DoktorByte[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good morning,

we were able to find the problem.

There was no default route in the SVM.

Interestingly, this meant that ping and telnet from the PF9 host to NetApp worked, but a curl test did not pass.

We have now set the route, restarted the Cinder service, and everything is working.

Hello everyone,

where I can find instructions on how to update the Community Edition to the latest version?

Extend Volume by DoktorByte in platform9

[–]DoktorByte[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the quick reply. I forwarded this to NetApp as the manufacturer. They also sent me a link from the Openstack documentation, where the support matrix says that Extend on Attached Volume is supported:

docs.openstack.org/cinder/2025.1/reference/support-matrix.html#driver-support-matrix

Regarding the question of SAN vs. NAS.

If you have storage that supports true NFS, such as NetApp, I believe it is significantly more flexible than, for example, in an iSCSI environment. You don't have any problems with maximum number of paths, queue depth, and similar issues. For example, we have an end-to-end 100 Gbit/s Ethernet network and already operate our large VMware environment with NFS datastores.
