Hi all!
My scenario:
We currently use oVirt and are studying the possibility of migrating to OpenStack in the future. Today we use Storages Enterprise 3PAR and Dell PowerVault. I've even tried to integrate 3PAR, but it's too complex for me for now...
Hi, Using the Cinder drivers would be the best idea when working with OpenStack. I don't know what deployment tool you are using, some deploy OpenStack services directly on the host and others in containers, but it should be possible to get both working even when external dependencies are needed. For example, for the 3PAR driver you'll need to have installed the "python-3parclient" Python package (inside the container image if you are running containerized), and then you'll only need to configure it following their documentation [1]. I've encountered some issues when running the current 3PAR driver code against a very old 3PAR array, so in my dev environment (that I use to write os-brick FC code) I usually run a modified version of the Cinder driver [2][3][4] with a modified version of the python-3parclient [5][6].

Stupid question... If I work directly with LVM, that is, deliver a LUN to all my hosts, create an LVM and deliver it to Cinter, will I have the Live Migration, HA instances, snapshot and other features ?
