Data Path
DS8000 Cinder Driver
1. The cloud administrator adds compute and storage
resources to the OpenStack infrastructure
2. OpenStack creates the new VM in KVM and the IBM
Cinder/Nova driver sends storage request to the DS8870
3. New storage volume is provisioned, mapped, and
configured to the newly created VM.
DS8000 + Cinder = All Storage is deployed optimally
