Cinder/Unified-IBM-XIV-DS8K-Storage-Driver

Unified IBM XIV and IBM DS8K Storage Driver

Summary

IBM XIV and IBM DS8K Storage Arrays have identical interfaces.

Instead of creating a Cinder driver per Array type, a consolidated Cinder Volume Driver called xiv_ds8k.py will manage both.

The scope of changes intended by this blueprint includes:

  • Refactoring cinder/volume/drivers/xiv.py to a unified cinder/volume/drivers/xiv_ds8k.py
