NetApp plugin
The plugin provides support of
Clustered Data ONTAP/ONTAP 9,
Data ONTAP 7-Mode and E-series storage
clusters to Cinder. The 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/ONTAP 9, 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.
Features
- Clustered Data ONTAP/ONTAP 9 as a backend for Cinder with NFS or iSCSI data-transfer protocols
- Data ONTAP 7-Mode as a backend for Cinder with NFS or iSCSI data-transfer protocols
- E-Series or EF-Series as a backend for Cinder with iSCSI data-transfer protocol
- Supports Cinder multibackend
- Supports all configuration options of NetApp Cinder driver for Mitaka

- If you plan to use the plugin with E-Series or EF-Series, please make sure that it is configured, up and running. For instructions, see the official NetApp E-Series documentation.
Release Notes
- Added MOS 9.0 support
- Removed code related to MOS backends
- Added MOS LCM support (Experimental)
Limitations
- Only one NetApp backend can be configured to work with Cinder
- Before creating Ubuntu repository's mirrors in Fuel, you have to
manually add to /usr/share/fuel-mirror/ubuntu.yaml following packages:
- nfs-common
- open-iscsi
- multipath-tools
- MOS LCM support is in experimental mode
