NetApp plugin
The plugin provides support of
Clustered Data ONTAP/ONTAP 9, SolidFire and
E/EF-series storage clusters to Cinder. The plugin uses
NetApp unified and/or SolidFire drivers. The NetApp unified driver is a
block storage driver that supports multiple storage families and
protocols. A storage family corresponds to storage systems built on
different NetApp technologies such as Clustered Data ONTAP/ONTAP 9,
SolidFire, and E/EF-Series. The storage protocol refers to the protocol
used to initiate data storage and access operations on those storage
systems like iSCSI and NFS. The NetApp unified driver can be configured
to provision and manage OpenStack volumes on the given storage family
using the specified storage protocol. The OpenStack volumes can then be
used for accessing and storing data with the storage protocol on the
storage family system. The NetApp unified driver is an extensible
interface that can support new storage families and protocols.
