The HP MSA fiber channel driver runs volume operations on the storage array over HTTP. A VDisk must be created on the HP MSA array first. This can be done using the web interface or the command-line interface of the array. The following options must be defined in the cinder-volume configuration file (/etc/cinder/cinder.conf): Set the volume_driver option to cinder.volume.drivers.san.hp.hp_msa_fc.HPMSAFCDriver Set the san_ip option to the hostname or IP address of your HP MSA array. Set the san_login option to the login of an existing user of the HP MSA array. Set the san_password option to the password for this user.
