The NetApp iSCSI configuration for Data ONTAP operating in 7-Mode is an interface from OpenStack to Data ONTAP operating in 7-Mode storage systems for provisioning and managing the SAN block storage entity, that is, a LUN which can be accessed using iSCSI protocol.
The iSCSI configuration for Data ONTAP operating in 7-Mode is a direct interface from OpenStack to Data ONTAP operating in 7-Mode storage system and it does not require additional management software to achieve the desired functionality. It uses NetApp ONTAPI to interact with the Data ONTAP operating in 7-Mode storage system.
Configure the volume driver, storage family and
storage protocol to the NetApp unified driver,
Data ONTAP operating in 7-Mode, 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_7mode netapp_storage_protocol=iscsi netapp_server_hostname=myhostname
netapp_server_port=80
netapp_login=username
netapp_password=password
Note | |
---|---|
You must override the default value of
|
Configuration option = Default value | Description |
---|---|
[DEFAULT] | |
netapp_login = None | (StrOpt) Administrative user account name used to access the storage system or proxy server. |
netapp_password = None | (StrOpt) Password for the administrative user account specified in the netapp_login option. |
netapp_server_hostname = None | (StrOpt) The hostname (or IP address) for the storage system or proxy server. |
netapp_server_port = 80 | (IntOpt) The TCP port to use for communication with the storage system or proxy server. Traditionally, port 80 is used for HTTP and port 443 is used for HTTPS; however, this value should be changed if an alternate port has been configured on the storage system or proxy server. |
netapp_size_multiplier = 1.2 | (FloatOpt) The quantity to be multiplied by the requested volume size to ensure enough space is available on the virtual storage server (Vserver) to fulfill the volume creation request. |
netapp_storage_family = ontap_cluster | (StrOpt) The storage family type used on the storage system; valid values are ontap_7mode for using Data ONTAP operating in 7-Mode, ontap_cluster for using clustered Data ONTAP, or eseries for using E-Series. |
netapp_storage_protocol = None | (StrOpt) The storage protocol to be used on the data path with the storage system; valid values are iscsi or nfs. |
netapp_transport_type = http | (StrOpt) The transport protocol used when communicating with the storage system or proxy server. Valid values are http or https. |
netapp_vfiler = None | (StrOpt) The vFiler unit on which provisioning of block storage volumes will be done. This option is only used by the driver when connecting to an instance with a storage family of Data ONTAP operating in 7-Mode and the storage protocol selected is iSCSI. Only use this option when utilizing the MultiStore feature on the NetApp storage system. |
netapp_volume_list = None | (StrOpt) This option is only utilized when the storage protocol is configured to use iSCSI. This option is used to restrict provisioning to the specified controller volumes. Specify the value of this option to be a comma separated list of NetApp controller volume names to be used for provisioning. |
