<title>Dell EqualLogic volume driver</title>
<para>The Dell EqualLogic volume driver interacts with configured
EqualLogic arrays and supports various operations, such as
volume creation and deletion, volume attachment and
detachment, snapshot creation and deletion, and clone
creation.</para>
<para>To configure and use a Dell EqualLogic array with Block
Storage, modify your <filename>cinder.conf</filename> as
follows.</para>
<para>Set the <option>volume_driver</option> option to the Dell
EqualLogic volume driver:</para>
<programlisting language="ini">volume_driver=cinder.volume.drivers.eqlx.DellEQLSanISCSIDriver</programlisting>
<para>Set the <option>san_ip</option> option to the IP address to
reach the EqualLogic Group through SSH:</para>
<programlisting language="ini">san_ip=10.10.72.53</programlisting>
<para>Set the <option>san_login</option> option to the user name
to login to the Group manager:</para>
<programlisting language="ini">san_login=grpadmin</programlisting>
<para>Set the <option>san_password</option> option to the password
to login the Group manager with:</para>
<programlisting language="ini">san_password=password</programlisting>
<para>Optionally set the <option>san_thin_provision</option>
option to false to disable creation of thin-provisioned
volumes:</para>
