Doc Type: Enhancement
Doc Text:
The OpenStack Block Storage service now features a Fibre Channel Zone Manager. This allows OpenStack Block Storage to automatically manage fibre channel SAN zoning, making it easier to deploy a properly-configured Block Storage fibre channel setup. For more information on how to use the Fibre Channel Zone Manager, refer to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack 5 Configuration Reference Guide.

Description RHOS Integration 2013-12-12 18:25:49 UTC 
Cloned from launchpad blueprint https://blueprints.launchpad.net/cinder/+spec/cinder-fc-zone-manager.

Description:

Fibre Channel block storage support was added in Grizzly release but there is no support for automated SAN zoning (FC SANs are either pre-zoned or open-zoned). Pre-zoning introduces management complexity in cloud orchestration and using no zoning is the least desirable zoning option because it allows devices to have unrestricted access on the fabric and causes RSCN storms. 

The purpose of this blueprint is to add support for automated FC SAN zone/access control management in Cinder for FC volumes. Proposed FibreChannelZoneManager automates zone lifecycle management (using the zone driver) by integrating the necessary API hooks with volume manager's attach/detach entry points (for FC volumes when fabric zoning is enabled). Simplified zone management (viz. add, update, remove, and read/get zone operations) is intended to not require zoning administration and acts on the currently active zone set.

Cinder FC Zone Manager etherpad https://etherpad.openstack.org/summit-havana-cinder-fc-zone-manager captures the requirements, use cases, and proposal.
