Summary

There are several IBM Storage Arrays that have similar interfaces, E.g. IBM XIV and IBM DS8K.

Instead of creating a Cinder driver per Array type, a consolidated Cinder Volume Driver called ibm.py will be able to manage all similar IBM Storage Arrays.

The scope of changes intended by this blueprint includes:

  • Refactoring cinder/volume/drivers/xiv.py to a unified cinder/volume/drivers/ibm.py
  • Unify how different array pass unique parameters in a comprehendible and documented solution
  • Increase Test Coverage
