The IBM_Storage driver has been open sourced. This means that there is no
more need to download the package from the IBM site. The only requirement
remaining is to install pyxcli, which is available through pypi:
'sudo pip install pyxcli'
upgrade:
- |
Previous installations of IBM Storage must be un-installed first and the
new driver should be installed on top. In addition the cinder.conf values
should be updated to reflect the new paths. For example the proxy setting
of 'storage.proxy.IBMStorageProxy' should be updated to
'cinder.volume.drivers.ibm.ibm_storage.proxy.IBMStorageProxy'.
