Manila share features support mapping

Manila share features support mapping

Here we provide information on support of different share features by different share drivers.

Column values contain the OpenStack release letter when a feature was added to the driver. Column value “?” means that this field requires an update with current information. Column value “-” means that this feature is not currently supported.

  • DHSS is reported as driver_handles_share_servers (See details for DHSS)
  • create share from snapshot is reported as create_share_from_snapshot_support
