https://blueprints.launchpad.net/cinder/+spec/datera-driver

Problem description¶
Integration for Datera storage is not available in OpenStack.

Other deployer impact¶
The deployer needs to set the cinder.conf to the right volume_driver.
volume_driver=cinder.volume.drivers.datera.DateraDriver
ISCSI would require setting up san_ip, san_login and san_password appropriately.
vHost would have dependencies on using Linux-IO with the vHost fabric module. The target_helper in the cinder.conf needs to be set to lio_vhost.
