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
