In accord with the OpenStack documentation migration spec [1], this patch pulls over material from the centralized Configuration Reference so that it will not be lost. As indicated in the spec, dynamic generation of this material will be left for later work.

EMC Isilon driver
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
The EMC Shared File Systems driver framework (EMCShareDriver) utilizes
|
|
EMC storage products to provide shared file systems to OpenStack. The
|
|
EMC driver is a plug-in based driver which is designed to use different
|
|
plug-ins to manage different EMC storage products.
|
|
|
|
The Isilon driver is a plug-in for the EMC framework which allows the
|
|
Shared File Systems service to interface with an Isilon back end to
|
|
provide a shared filesystem. The EMC driver framework with the Isilon
|
|
plug-in is referred to as the ``Isilon Driver`` in this document.
|
|
|
|
This Isilon Driver interfaces with an Isilon cluster via the REST Isilon
|
|
Platform API (PAPI) and the RESTful Access to Namespace API (RAN).
|
|
|
|
Requirements
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
- Isilon cluster running OneFS 7.2 or higher
|
|
|
|
Supported shared filesystems and operations
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
The drivers supports CIFS and NFS shares.
|
|
|
|
The following operations are supported:
|
|
|
|
- Create a share.
|
|
|
|
- Delete a share.
|
|
|
|
- Allow share access.
|
|
|
|
Note the following limitations:
|
|
|
|
- Only IP access type is supported.
|
|
- Only read-write access is supported.
|
|
|
|
- Deny share access.
|
|
|
|
- Create a snapshot.
|
|
|
|
- Delete a snapshot.
|
|
|
|
- Create a share from a snapshot.
|
|
|
|
Back end configuration
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
The following parameters need to be configured in the Shared File
|
|
Systems service configuration file for the Isilon driver:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: ini
|
|
|
|
share_driver = manila.share.drivers.emc.driver.EMCShareDriver
|
|
emc_share_backend = isilon
|
|
emc_nas_server = <IP address of Isilon cluster>
|
|
emc_nas_login = <username>
|
|
emc_nas_password = <password>
|
|
|
|
Restrictions
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
The Isilon driver has the following restrictions:
|
|
|
|
- Only IP access type is supported for NFS and CIFS.
|
|
|
|
- Only FLAT network is supported.
|
|
|
|
- Quotas are not yet supported.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
The following table contains the configuration options specific to the
|
|
