Is this different than: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1269990 ?
Yes they are different. This one is to support multiple EQL arrays for a single deployment. The https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1269990 is for support multiple different backends (EQL, CMPL, Ceph, NFS) for a single deployment. Two are orthogonal. In reality we want support for heterogeneous back ends and with multiple instances of arrays of some types, like EQL. Do not know if we have the requirement for multiple CMPL or multiple Cephs in a single deployment. Till we know, only requesting multiple EQL support. By the way this is supported functionality for JS-3x and 4x. Providing answer for Rajini's request
We probably do want to support multiple cinder backends for Ceph as well, so customers can have different Volume Types associated with pools that take root at branch of a CRUSH hierarchy (eg. Spinning, Dense SSD, Fast SSD). Should I open another RFE?
Bug 1269990 is a generic "support multiple instances of any backend type". The fix there will resolve this bug as well. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1269990 ***
