The NetApp iSCSI configuration for clustered Data ONTAP is an interface from OpenStack to clustered Data ONTAP storage systems for provisioning and managing the SAN block storage entity, that is, NetApp LUN which can be accessed using iSCSI protocol.
The iSCSI configuration for clustered Data ONTAP is a direct interface from OpenStack to clustered Data ONTAP and it does not require additional management software to achieve the desired functionality. It uses NetApp APIs to interact with the clustered Data ONTAP.
Set the volume driver, storage family and
storage protocol to NetApp unified driver,
clustered Data ONTAP and iSCSI respectively by
setting the volume_driver,
netapp_storage_family and
netapp_storage_protocol
options in cinder.conf as
follows:
volume_driver=cinder.volume.drivers.netapp.common.NetAppDriver
netapp_storage_family=ontap_cluster
netapp_storage_protocol=iscsi
See OpenStack NetApp community for detailed information on available configuration options.
