<p>Jason,</p>
<p>You are correct. The plan is to add a driver that will use the
iSCSI gateway to make volumes available instead of using RBD
commands. So, the driver will be heavily based on the existing
RBD driver but do the export via iSCSI gateway.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, the iSCSI Gateway CLI is not well suited to remote
execution so we have Walt Boring looking into better ways of
interacting with the gateway or possibly updating the client to
support our needs.</p>
<p>If you want to see additional notes on the topic see our
discussion from the PTG last week at around line 119. [1]</p>
<p>Thanks!<br>
Jay</p>

I looked in to this recently as it was a use-case some of our
HPC users wanted support for. I noticed that Ceph has the iSCSI
gateway, but my impression was that this wouldn't work without
adding some sort of new driver in Cinder. Is that not true? I
thought that Cinder only Ceph via RBD. I'd be happy to be proven
wrong on this.<br>
