v1.1.0

ETCD support

There are some limitations regarding the ETCD support:

• There is no migration from SQL -> ETCD
• Linstor requires the ETCD server to increase its limit for requests per transactions [1]
  Our tests were running well with 1024, but some linstor-actions are depending on how many objects you already have (i.e. auto-place)
  you might want to increase that value if necessary.
  example: etcd --max-txn-ops 1024

To use ETCD simply change your linstor.toml to contain

[db]
   connection_url = "etcd://127.0.0.1:2379"

Some more release details:

v1.0.1

linstor-server 1.0.1

• Fix postgresql database migration for resource groups

v1.0.0

• Resource groups
  A resource group is a parent object of a resource definition and all property changes
  made on a resource group will be inherited by its resource definition children.
  The resource group also stores settings for auto-place rules and can spawn a resource definition depending on the stored rules.
  Here is a example:

linstor resource-group create my_group --place-count 3
linstor volume-group create my_group

linstor resource-group spawn-resources my_group myresource 2G
