NetApp plugin
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
NetApp plugin provides support of ONTAP and E-series storage clusters to Cinder.
|
|
NetApp plugin uses NetApp unified driver; the latter 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, Data ONTAP operating in 7-Mode,
|
|
and E-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.
