<title>StorPool driver</title>
<para>StorPool is distributed data storage software running on standard x86
servers. StorPool aggregates the performance and capacity of all drives
into a shared pool of storage distributed among the servers. Within
this storage pool the user creates thin-provisioned volumes that are
exposed to the clients as block devices. StorPool consists of two parts
wrapped in one package - a server and a client. The StorPool server
allows a hypervisor to act as a storage node, while the StorPool client
allows a hypervisor node to access the storage pool and act as a compute
node. In OpenStack terms the StorPool solution allows each hypervisor
node to be both a storage and a compute node simultaneously. More
information can be found on <link

<note>
<para>To make full use of StorPool's native network communication protocol,
the Nova compute nodes will need to use the StorPool libvirt volume
attachment driver, nova.virt.libvirt.storpool.LibvirtStorPoolVolumeDriver.</para>
</note>
<para>To use Block Storage with StorPool, first set the
<literal>volume_driver</literal> in
<filename>cinder.conf</filename>:</para>
<programlisting>volume_driver=cinder.volume.drivers.storpool.StorPoolDriver</programlisting>
<para>The following table contains the configuration options
supported by the StorPool driver.</para>
