The plugin provides support of ``Clustered Data ONTAP``, ``Data ONTAP 7-Mode`` and ``E-series`` storage clusters to Cinder.
6
The plugin uses NetApp unified driver, the latter is a
6

block storage driver that supports multiple storage families and protocols.

8
A storage family corresponds to storage systems built on different NetApp technologies
8
such as clustered Data ONTAP, Data ONTAP operating in 7-Mode,
9
such as Clustered Data ONTAP, Data ONTAP operating in 7-Mode,

11
The storage protocol refers to the protocol used to initiate data
11
12
storage and access operations on those storage systems like iSCSI and NFS.
21
* ONTAP Clustered Mode as a backend for Cinder with NFS or iSCSI data-transfer protocols
22
* ONTAP 7 Mode as a backend for Cinder with NFS or iSCSI data-transfer protocols
23
* E-Series as a backend for Cinder with iSCSI data-transfer protocol
24
* Multibackend: A supported NetApp storage with any default Cinder backend, either LVM over iSCSI or Ceph
25
* Supports all NetApp driver options to be configured
22
* Clustered Data ONTAP as a backend for Cinder with NFS or iSCSI data-transfer protocols
23
* Data ONTAP 7-Mode as a backend for Cinder with NFS or iSCSI data-transfer protocols
24
* E-Series or EF-Series as a backend for Cinder with iSCSI data-transfer protocol
25
* Supports multi backend feature. The plugin does not overwrite ``enabled_backends`` option
26
thereby allowing use other plugins for Cinder.
27
* Allows using NetApp as a backend for Cinder along with MOS default backends - ``LVM over iSCSI`` or ``Ceph``
28
* Supports all configuration options of NetApp Cinder driver for Liberty
