Description RHOS Integration 2013-12-12 18:31:37 UTC
Cloned from launchpad blueprint https://blueprints.launchpad.net/cinder/+spec/emc-fibre-channel-volume-driver.

Description:

Add a Cinder Fibre Channel Volume Driver to support the EMC VMAX/VMAXe and VNX arrays, using SMI-S.  This driver will be derived from the new Fibre Channel driver implemented for the blueprint "Fibre channel block storage support":
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/cinder/+spec/fibre-channel-block-storage

It should support the following:

* Volume Creation
* Volume Deletion
* Snapshot Creation
* Snapshot Deletion
* Create Volume from Snapshot
* Volume Attach
* Volume Detach.

This new EMC Fibre Channel driver and the EMC iSCSI Driver (https://blueprints.launchpad.net/cinder/+spec/emc-volume-driver) that was submitted recently can share lots of common code.  So I'm planning to write a common class and have the new driver call methods in that class.
