NetApp’s Cinder Drivers enable the usage of ONTAP and SolidFire backends for provisioning and maintaining OpenStack block storage volumes. NetApp ONTAP drivers for iSCSI, NFS and FC are offered as a single, unified driver.
NetApp’s contribution strategy involves adding all new capabilities directly into the upstream OpenStack Block Storage repositories, so all the features are available regardless of which distribution you choose when deploying OpenStack. Bug fixes are delivered into the appropriate branches that represent the different releases of OpenStack.
On occasion, it may be necessary for NetApp to deliver capability to a previous release of OpenStack that can not be accepted in the upstream OpenStack repositories. In that case, we post the capability at the NetApp Github repository - accessible at https://github.com/NetApp/cinder. Be sure to choose the branch from this repository that matches the release version of OpenStack you are deploying with.
The following lists all of the individual options and subsequent sections are intended to offer guidance on which configuration options ought to be employed given varying use cases:
