Set the volume driver to the FlashSystem
driver by setting the volume_driver
option in configuration file
cinder.conf as follows:
volume_driver = cinder.volume.drivers.ibm.flashsystem_iscsi.FlashSystemISCSIDriver
To enable IBM FlashSystem iSCSI driver, configure the
following options in configuration file
cinder.conf:

[a] This option allows the driver to
map a vdisk to more than one host at a
time. This scenario occurs during
migration of a virtual machine with an
attached volume; the volume is
simultaneously mapped to both the source
and destination compute hosts. If your
deployment does not require attaching
vdisks to multiple hosts, setting this
flag to [b] On cluster of FlashSystem, iSCSI IP address column
is the seventh column [c] On cluster of FlashSystem, port
ID column is the first column | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
