Guide to the Pure Storage Cinder Plugin version 1.0-1.0.0-1 for Fuel
This document provides instructions for installing, configuring and using Pure Storage Cinder plugin for Fuel.
Pure Storage Cinder
The Pure Storage Cinder Fuel plugin provides an automated method to
insert the necessary lines into the cinder.conf
file. The
plugin extends the Fuel Web UI to provide the necessary entry locations
for the information for the configuration file. Thus, the plugin
incorporates OpenStack
Cinder Driver for Pure Storage Flash Array. Thus, the plugin
provides the ability to create a configuration file stanza so that when
multi-backend support is selected, the stanza is correct.
