HPE 3PAR, HPE Primera and HPE Alletra 9k Driver
===============================================
The ``HPE3PARFCDriver`` and ``HPE3PARISCSIDriver`` drivers, which are based on
the Block Storage service (Cinder) plug-in architecture, run volume operations
by communicating with the HPE 3PAR and HPE Primera storage system over HTTP,
HTTPS, and SSH connections. The HTTP and HTTPS communications use
``python-3parclient``, which is part of PyPi.
