nstor_lsmplugin — LibstorageMgmt nstor plugin

Description

LibstorageMgmt nstor plugin allows user to manage NexentaStor 3.x storage software [1]. The ‘nstor_lsmplugin’ executable file is for libStorageMgmt daemon to execute when client user specifies nstor plugin in the URI.

Uri

To use this plugin, users should set their URI to this format:

 # HTTP connection

 nstor://<username>@<nstor_server>:<port>

 # HTTPS connection

 nstor+ssl://<username>@<nstor_server>:<port>

username

The username is the user account with ‘Can_use_restapi’ permission.

nstor_server

The nstor_server is IP address or DNS name of NexentaStor server.

port number

The port number is the listening port of the nexenta server REST API. The default port of 2000 is used if none is supplied on the URI.

For non-default ports, SELinux will likely prevent the SMI-S plugin from making a network connection.

URI parameters

No additional URI parameters are supported by this plugin.

 * lsm.Client.capabilities()  (Python API)
