Thanks Fabrizio, but cinder it's for the object storage. I need to use NFS (NetApp) for ephemeral and Fuel, if i understand, configure only Ceph for ephemeral storage. Correct?

For cinder i would use NetApp Plugin

Hello Mario,
if you've chosen to deploy with Ceph, in the Settings pane there is an option

Ceph RDB for ephemeral volumes (Nova)

If selected, Fuel will deploy a cluster where Nova will use Ceph for ephemeral.

Hi Fabrizio, i refer to use NFS for ephemeral (NOVA) for Livemigration

http://docs.openstack.org/admin-guide-cloud/content/section_configuring-compute-migrations.html

At this moment i must do this configuration manually

Thanks

Mario,
apart from supporting Ceph and LVM for ephemeral it's unlikely we'll support automatic deployment to enable NFS for ephemeral in Fuel. We want to keep the things as simple as possible, avoiding lots of configuration options.

If you feel it would be somehow convenient, you can try to file your idea via a blueprint with some specs to https://blueprints.launchpad.net/fuel

Best,
