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).
The following parameters need to be configured in the Shared File Systems service configuration file for the Isilon driver:
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>
The Isilon driver has the following restrictions:
The following table contains the configuration options specific to the share driver.
Configuration option = Default value | Description |

emc_nas_password = None |
(String) Password for the EMC server. |
emc_nas_pool_names = None |
(List) EMC pool names. |
emc_nas_root_dir = None |
(String) The root directory where shares will be located. |
emc_nas_server = None |
(String) EMC server hostname or IP address. |
emc_nas_server_container = None |
(String) Container of share servers. |
emc_nas_server_pool = None |
(String) Pool to persist the meta-data of NAS server. |
emc_nas_server_port = 8080 |
