Jon,
Why do you say " Obviously that won't work but I can't figure out why it is
happening " ?
The driver uses SSH to issue commands to the EQL. That's the API access path
for the EQL driver (and a common approach for other Cinder drivers)

Subject: [Crowbar] Using Dell Equallogic with Openstack Cinder
Hello. Hoping to find some help with an issue in my attempt to use an
Equallogic array for a storage back end for Cinder with OpenStack Grizzly.
Since the Crowbar Grizzly release is not complete yet, we are trying to use the
Rackspace Private Cloud installer tool and so far it has worked very well.
Using it with a Ceph storage back end worked great but we want to see how
things work with Equallogic.
We have a fresh Equallogic running 6.0.2 release firmware and have installed
the eqlx.py into the appropriate driver location for the Cinder setup. The
config is all in place and we can start the Cinder volume service just fine.
Creating and deleting volumes works as well.
The problem comes when we try to actually use the Equallogic to actually have
the controller node or compute node login to an iSCSI volume to put data on it
(such as making a volume from an image). The log result is as
follows:
2013-08-01 13:46:20 ERROR [cinder.volume.manager] Error: ['Traceback

"]
I'm no programmer but from what I can tell, it seems the eqlx driver is somehow
causing Cinder-volume to try to run the iscsiadm command at the end of that log
entry via SSH on the Equallogic shell. Obviously that won't work but I can't
figure out why it is happening.
Any insights?
Thanks
