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>

Good thought. That would be an interim solution until we are able to <br>
get the process automated.<br>
