The NetApp NFS drivers for 7-Mode and clustered Data ONTAP systems provide OpenStack compute instances with access to NetApp 7-Mode storage controllers and clustered Data ONTAP storage systems for provisioning and managing entities on NFS exports on NetApp storage controllers.
The NFS exports are mounted on the OpenStack nodes after which the OpenStack volumes can be created and managed using the NetApp NFS drivers on the NFS exports. The OpenStack compute instances get the required block storage device as files on NFS exports managed by OpenStack.
