Re: Nexenta Driver proposal

 

All driver code is stamped with Apache Public License 2.0. Is it compatible
with OpenStack licensing model?
Currently driver supports Diablo branch of Nova, but we're working on
changes to make it work on master.
This driver was developed and tested in tight cooperation with Nexenta
team, and will be supported by Nexenta.

Kind regards, Yuriy.

PS: Lost CC to mail list in my previous message, sorry.

>> We already noted this version of Nexenta driver.

>> 1). it connects to Nexenta through Nexenta API, not SSH.
>> It's faster, requires no extra overhead on both server and client sides.
>> 2). it uses Nexenta services, not Solaris system tools directly.
