Cinder vmdk driver

Volume driver for VMware vCenter managed datastores. The volumes created by this driver are backed by VMDK (Virtual Machine: Disk) files stored in datastores. For ease of managing the VMDKs, the: driver creates a virtual machine for each of the volumes. This virtual: machine is never powered on and is often referred as the shadow VM. """ import math: import re. Support backup and restore of volumes created by VMDK driver¶. www.doorway.ru+spec/vmdk-backup. The volumes created by the VMDK driver are virtual disks stored in datastoresmanaged by ESX or vCenter server. Description. Support forceful snapshot of an attached volume. The VMDK driver in Havana would simply fail the operation when user tries to snapshot a volume that is attached to an instance with --force=True. This blueprint is to support and allow user to be able to perform snapshot of the volume when it is attached to an instance.

Today, there is no cinder driver implementation for the VMware stack and the nova driver allows only attaching/detaching discovered iSCSI targets as RDM. This driver will allow life cycle management for a cinder volume that is backed by a VMDK file(s) within a VMware datastore. This project also positions Cinder to take advantage of features provided by VMFS and upcoming technologies such as vSAN, vVol and others.

The volumes created by the VMDK driver are virtual disks stored in datastoresmanaged by ESX or vCenter server. In the www.doorway.ru file, use this option to define the volume driver: volume_driver = www.doorway.ruVcVmdkDriver. The following table lists various options that the drivers support for the OpenStack Block Storage configuration (www.doorway.ru): Description of VMware configuration options.
