Add the StorPool block storage driver.
StorPool is distributed data storage software running on standard x86
servers. StorPool aggregates the performance and capacity of all drives
into a shared pool of storage distributed among the servers. Within
this storage pool the user creates thin-provisioned volumes that are
exposed to the clients as block devices. StorPool consists of two parts
wrapped in one package - a server and a client. The StorPool server
allows a hypervisor to act as a storage node, while the StorPool client
allows a hypervisor node to access the storage pool and act as a compute
node. In OpenStack terms the StorPool solution allows each hypervisor
node to be both a storage and a compute node simultaneously.
To make full use of StorPool's native network communication protocol,
the Nova compute nodes will need to use the StorPool libvirt volume
attachment driver, nova.virt.libvirt.storpool.LibvirtStorPoolVolumeDriver.
