Extending ViPR (supported Arrays)
Hello Community!
Is it possible to write ViPR-Plugins on my own to add (native) support for other Storage-Systems/-Software? Is there some kind of SDK/Framework available for "externals" (not a member of EMC or any other Storage Vendor)?
Regards
Daniel

Hi Daniel,
We have not published a south bound API for ViPR yet. It is on our road map.
Could you share what array you wanted to add support for? Since you are asking for native support, I presume you have already looked at our Openstack cinder plugin support for ViPR.
Thanks
Vinay

Hi Vinay,
good to hear that this item is on the road map
I was looking for a project for one of our students, the initial (quick & dirty) idea was, that he could write a plugin for FalconStor + Egenio-based storage. Yes, I had a look on the cinder integration, but this would only add basic features (as far as I understood). It would not allow the same feature-set what's possible with e.g. VPLEX + VMAX/VNX (Like defining different SLA Levels where e.g. Gold has Mirroring and Silver not and things like that).
Thanks & Regards
Daniel
