Configure EMC VNX plugin for an environment

1. Using the Fuel web UI, create a new environment.

   1. In the Storage Backends tab, leave the default LVM over iSCSI back end for Cinder.
   2. Do not add the Cinder role to any node, since all the Cinder services will be run on controller nodes.

2. In the Fuel web UI, open your new environment and click Settings -> Other.

3. Select the EMX VNX driver for Cinder check box:

   

4. Fill in the EMX VNX driver for Cinder form fields:

   Field	Description/Comment
   Username and password	Access credentials configured on EMC VNX.
   SP A and B IPs	IP addresses of the EMC VNX Service Processors.
   Pool name (optional)	The name of the EMC VNX storage pool on which all Cinder volumes will be created. The provided storage pool must be available on EMC VNX. If pool name is not provided, then the EMC VNX driver will use a random storage pool available on EMC VNX.

5. Make additional configuration adjustments as required.

6. Proceed to the environment deployment.
