 Dell EqualLogic volume driver

The Dell EqualLogic volume driver interacts with configured EqualLogic arrays and supports various operations, such as volume creation and deletion, volume attachment and detachment, snapshot creation and deletion, and clone creation.

To configure and use a Dell EqualLogic array with Block Storage, modify your cinder.conf as follows.

Set the volume_driver option to the Dell EqualLogic volume driver:

volume_driver=cinder.volume.drivers.eqlx.DellEQLSanISCSIDriver

Set the san_ip option to the IP address to reach the EqualLogic Group through SSH:

san_ip=10.10.72.53

Set the san_login option to the user name to login to the Group manager:

san_login=grpadmin

Set the san_password option to the password to login the Group manager with:

san_password=password

Optionally set the san_thin_provision option to false to disable creation of thin-provisioned volumes:

san_thin_provision=false

The following table describes additional options that the driver supports:
