Table 1. viocli update Cinder Parameters

Parameter	Default Value	Description
backend_availability_zone	none	Enter the availability zone for the volume backend.
vmware_cluster_name		Enter the name of a vCenter compute cluster where you can create volumes.
vmware_host_ip	none	Enter the IP address for connecting to VMware vCenter Server.
vmware_host_password	none	Enter the password for authenticating with VMware vCenter Server.
vmware_host_username	none	Enter the username for authenticating with VMware vCenter Server.
vmware_image_format		Enter the image format to use for uploading volume to the image service.
vmware_insecure	false	If true, the vCenter certificate is not verified.
volume_driver	cinder.volume.drivers.vmware.vmdk.VMwareVcVmdkDriver	Enter the driver to use for volume creation.
vmware_adapter_type	lsilogic	Enter the adapter type used for attaching volumes.
vmware_tmp_dir	/tmp	Enter the directory where virtual disks are stored during volume backup and restore.
vmware_snapshot_format		Enter the volume snapshot format in vCenter Server.
vmware_lazy_create	true	If true, the backend volume in vCenter Server is created lazily when the volume is created without any source.
vmware_disable_backing_ref_cache	false	If true, the caching of vCenter references of legacy volume backends are disabled and queried by volume name rather than volume ID.
vmware_datastore_regex	none	Enter the regular expression pattern to match the name of the datastores where you can create backend volumes.
vmware_verify_requirements	novalocal	If true, the space and storage policy requirements verification takes place during raw volume creation.
vmware_datastore_cluster		Enter the name or moid of datastore cluster where you can provision volume.
vmware_sdrs_default_cluster_name		Enter the default cluster for raw volume creation using vSphereStorage DRS. If you specify vmware_datastore_cluster, you must set this option.
vmware_snapshot_quiesce	none	If true, you can enable quiescing for backend snapshots created during snapshot or clone of a volume attached to a powered-on instance.
vmware_image_transfer_timeout_secs	7200	Enter the timeout in seconds for VMDK volume transfer between cinder and glance.
enabled_backends	none	Enter the list of backend names to use.
default_volume_type	none	Enter the default volume type to use.
default_availability_zone	nova	Enter the default availability zone of this node.
storage_availability_zone	nova	Enter the availability zone of this node.
backup_driver	cinder.backup.drivers.nfs.NFSBackupDriver	Configure this option to use the cinder backup feature.

backup_sha_block_size_bytes	32768	Enter the size in bytes that track changes for incremental backups.
backup_compression_algorithm	zlib	Enter the name of the compression algorithm to use.
rpc_response_timeout	60	Enter the value in seconds to wait for a response from a call.
executor_thread_pool_size	64	Enter the size of the executor thread pool when executor is threading or eventlet.
max_pool_size	5	Enter the number of SQL connections to keep open in a pool.
statefulset_backup		Create the manifests section if using the cinder backup feature.
