New HP LeftHand array iSCSI driver

[OpenStack Infra]

https://review.openstack.org/65181

Dear documentation bug triager. This bug was created here because we did not know how to map the project name "openstack/cinder" to a launchpad project name. This indicates that the notify_impact config needs tweaks. You can ask the OpenStack infra team (#openstack-infra on freenode) for help if you need to.

    New HP LeftHand array iSCSI driver

    This driver is intended to replace the current OpenStack Block
    Storage HP LeftHand (LH) StoreVirtual iSCSI Driver,
    (cinder.volume.drivers.san.HpSanISCSIDriver), by moving the
    existing SSH interface into the new driver to maintain backwards
    compatibility, and add the new LH REST interface for new driver
    features.

    We have the driver broken into 3 files:
    hp_lefthand_iscis.py (common interface)
    hp_lefthand_cliq_proxy.py (old SSH interface)
    hp_lefthand_rest_proxy.py (new REST interface)

    The reason we are doing this is because the SSH interface on LH
    array has connections and performance limitations. These problems
    will be resolved by moving to the new LH OS REST interface. Also,
    new LeftHand array capabilities will only be supported in the
    REST(hplefthandclient) interface.

    To support new driver capabilities (create cloned volume), the
    python REST client (hplefthandclient) is required and can be
    downloaded from the pypi repository:
      http://pypi.python.org/pypi/hplefthandclient.
    This REST client requires LeftHand firmware version 11.5 or
    greater.

    The SSH interface will be phased out over time.

    Add docs for new HP LeftHand Cinder driver

    This change adds the documentation for the new HP LeftHand
    driver. It documents how to configure the driver in both
    standard and legacy modes, and describes the functionality
    when running in each mode. When the driver executes in legacy
    mode, it is essentially running the old driver code.
    Therefore, the old LeftHand driver documentation was migrated
    into the section “HP LeftHand/StoreVirtual CLIQ driver legacy mode”.
