NetApp iSCSI driver for 7-Mode storage controller

The NetApp iSCSI driver for 7-Mode is a driver interface from OpenStack to the NetApp 7-Mode storage controllers for provisioning and managing the SAN block storage entity, that is, NetApp LUN using iSCSI protocol.

The NetApp iSCSI driver for 7-Mode requires additional NetApp management software, namely OnCommand™, installed and configured for using 7-Mode storage controllers before configuring the 7-Mode driver on OpenStack.

Configuration options available for the 7-Mode system driver

Set the volume driver to the NetApp 7-Mode driver by setting the volume_driver option in cinder.conf as follows:

     volume_driver=cinder.volume.drivers.netapp.iscsi.NetAppISCSIDriver
