add the appropriate statements to the config reference drivers section

[Nilesh Bhosale (nilesh-bhosale)]

This is a new Cinder driver added in the Icehouse and needs the document updates ASAP.
Please let me know if any additional information is needed with regards to this driver.

Thanks,
Nilesh

Nilesh, here's the current documentation:

http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/config-reference/content/ibm-storwize-svc-driver.html

Could you explain what needs to be updated, please?

[Sasikanth Eda (sasikanth)]

Thanks Andreas, for looking in to this bug. I apologize for not making clear in the DocImpact flag.

The link you have pointed is related to storwize_svc.py which is a different product family and the current bug is related to adding documentation for a new driver (ibmnas.py).

The new driver (https://github.com/openstack/cinder/blob/master/cinder/volume/drivers/ibm/ibmnas.py) is built for SONAS, Storwize V7000 Unified products and it is based on nfs protocol.

[Gauvain Pocentek (gpocentek)]

Since the doc team doesn't have access to the hardware it's up to the vendor or to the driver author to provide the documentation. Thanks.

[Tom Fifield (fifieldt)]

All the config options appear to be in

common/tables/cinder-nas.xml

[Tom Fifield (fifieldt)]

which is included under misc

[Tom Fifield (fifieldt)]

block-storage/section_misc.xml: <xi:include href="../../common/tables/cinder-nas.xml"/>

[Tom Fifield (fifieldt)]

There's also the ibmnas flagmapping.

block-storage/section_misc.xml: <xi:include href="../../common/tables/cinder-ibmnas.xml"/>

These two files should be merged, a stub driver page with an appropriate heading created and the include fixed up
