Configuring Handlers
TCMU-backed handlers are typically configured using normal LIO configuration tools, such as targetcli.
Part of doing this will be entering a handler-specific configuration string.
CONFIGURINGGLUSTERHANDLER(glfs)
This handler uses the Gluster glfs API to use Gluster as a backstore for the image file.
Its configuration string is:
volume@hostname/filename
volume: The volume on the Gluster server
hostname: The server's hostname
filename: The backing file
CONFIGURINGQCOWHANDLER(qcow)
This handler supports qcow, qcow2, or raw image file formats.
Its configuration string is:
path
path: The full path to a file of a supported file format. The file must already have been created
using qemu-img.
Description
tcmu-runner is a service that provides an operating environment for LIO TCM-User handlers. These
currently include handlers for Gluster glfs and the qcow and qcow2 image formats.

directly, usually for debugging and development purposes.
