The cinder.volume.drivers.hpe.hpe_3par_iscsi Module

Volume driver for HPE 3PAR Storage array. This driver requires 3.1.3 firmware on the 3PAR array, using the 4.x version of the hpe3parclient.

You will need to install the python hpe3parclient. sudo pip install –upgrade “hpe3parclient>=4.0”

Set the following in the cinder.conf file to enable the 3PAR iSCSI Driver along with the required flags:

volume_driver=cinder.volume.drivers.hpe.hpe_3par_iscsi.HPE3PARISCSIDriver

class HPE3PARISCSIDriver(*args, **kwargs)

Bases: cinder.volume.driver.TransferVD, cinder.volume.driver.ManageableVD, cinder.volume.driver.ExtendVD, cinder.volume.driver.SnapshotVD, cinder.volume.driver.ManageableSnapshotsVD, cinder.volume.driver.MigrateVD, cinder.volume.driver.ConsistencyGroupVD, cinder.volume.driver.BaseVD

OpenStack iSCSI driver to enable 3PAR storage array.

check_for_setup_error()

Setup errors are already checked for in do_setup so return pass.

create_cgsnapshot(*args, **kwargs)
create_cloned_volume(*args, **kwargs)

Clone an existing volume.

create_consistencygroup(*args, **kwargs)
create_consistencygroup_from_src(*args, **kwargs)
create_export(*args, **kwargs)

This driver returns a driver_volume_type of ‘iscsi’. The format of the driver data is defined in _get_iscsi_properties. Example return value:

{
    'driver_volume_type': 'iscsi'
    'data': {
        'encrypted': False,
        'target_discovered': True,
        'target_iqn': 'iqn.2010-10.org.openstack:volume-00000001',
        'target_protal': '127.0.0.1:3260',
        'volume_id': 1,
    }
}
Steps to export a volume on 3PAR
  • Get the 3PAR iSCSI iqn
  • Create a host on the 3par
  • create vlun on the 3par
