Some Openstack updates

Lots of Openstack activity out there, and wanted to share some updated Cinder pieces:

• Updated Cinder GitHub repo for ViPR 1.1 here (which has broad use cases) here: https://github.com/emcvipr/controller-openstack-cinder
• Update Cinder Github repo for FC SMI-S support here for Havana here: https://github.com/emc-openstack/smis-fc-cinder-driver.   Formal Cinder Support Matrix entry for FC is targeted for Icehouse, but this works.   There’s a little nit that Havana doesn’t do auto zoning, that’s also targeted for Icehouse.

Unrelated, but while we’re sharing github repos :-)  From a customer (great innovation and sharing!) there’s also Graphite integration for VNX and DD (Jan Ulferts – thank you!)

• VNX statistics into graphite ( https://github.com/fatz/vnx2graphite )
• Datadomain monitoring guide a few days ago ( https://github.com/fatz/datadomain-monitoring ).
• He promises, something for VMAX will follow soon :-)

As a reminder, ViPR controller is freely downloadable for non-production use (and it’s a way to get lots of goodies and capabilties) here www.emc.com/getvipr.

Expect the ViPR data services which are all GA at this point: Object (S3, Atmos, Swift), HDFS, Block (ScaleIO) to be equally easily accessible in the future – hint, hint!

EMC world is coming – register here!
