I'm not too sure what you mean by "OSP image" because cinder itself does not maintain any "images". (Maybe you are referring to container images used in a downstream product ?)
I mostly agree with what JP explained. The driver implementations stay in the cinder repository so the driver may be included in cinder packages built by distributions.
However please note that a driver marked unsupported will be subject removal in a future release. [1]
[1] https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Cinder/tested-3rdParty-drivers#Non-Complianc... , ```
If a driver CI is found non compliant:
* A driver patch will be submitted flagging it as unsupported * This will cause warning messages to be logged in the c-vol log stating it is unsupported and deprecated * Operators will need to set enable_unsupported_drivers=True in cinder.conf or the service will fail to load * If the issue is not corrected before the next release, the driver will subject to removal. Please see the Cinder Driver Removal Policy for details
```
Thank you, Takashi Kajinami irc: tkajinam

Hi Tom,
When a driver is marked as unsupported, it doesn’t mean it’ll be removed from the cinder repository and will remain in the OSP image as well until we decide de tear down the driver directory and all related files.
Setting this *SUPPORTED* flag to *False *just prevent cinder to initialize the driver when services are starting. You may notice this while scrubbing into the log
*ERROR cinder.volume.manager [-] Unsupported drivers are disabled. You can re-enable by adding enable_unsupported_driver=True to the driver section in cinder.conf***
Hope that helps to clarify.

Hi Takashi,
Could you please also help to clarify what will happened to those drivers (bundled today in the OSP image) once these Cis are marked as unsupported? Will the drivers be deleted from the OSP image or will they still stay in the OSP image?
Br,
Tom

Thanks Takashi for driving this.
As far as Dell is concerned, those CIs should be marked as unsupported as they are now EOL.
- DellEMC SC CI
- DellEMC VNX CI
- DellEMC XtremIO CI
I’ll have the CI team to take a look at the Dell PowerMax CI which is supposed to be active.
