Cinder Driver Support Matrix

The following support matrix reflects the drivers that are currently available or are available in Cinder’s driver tree at the time of release.

Note

This matrix replaces the old wiki based version of the Cinder Support Matrix as there was no way to ensure the wiki version was properly maintained. The old matrix will be left for reference but this matrix should be treated as the correct state of Cinder.

Required Driver Functions

There are a number of functions that are required to be accepted as a Cinder driver. Rather than list all the required functionality in the matrix we include the list of required functions here for reference.

  • Create Volume

  • Delete Volume

  • Attach Volume

  • Detach Volume

  • Extend Volume

  • Create Snapshot

  • Delete Snapshot

  • Create Volume from Snapshot

  • Create Volume from Volume (clone)

  • Create Image from Volume

  • Volume Migration (host assisted)

Note

Since the above functions are required their support is assumed and the matrix only includes support for optional functionality.

Note

This matrix is not dynamically generated. It is maintained by the Cinder team and Vendor driver maintainers. While every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of the data in this matrix, discrepancies with actual functionality are possible. Please refer to your vendor’s support documentation for additional information.

Details

  • Supported Vendor Driver

    Status: optional.

    Notes: A vendor driver is considered supported if the vendor is running a third party CI that regularly runs and reports accurate results. If a vendor doesn’t meet this requirement the driver is marked unsupported and is removed if the problem isn’t resolved before the end of the subsequent release.

  • QoS

    Status: optional.

    Notes: Vendor drivers that support Quality of Service (QoS) at the backend. This means they are able to utilize QoS Specs associated with volume extra specs to control QoS settings at the storage device on a per volume basis. Drivers that don’t support this can utilize frontend QoS via libvirt.

Grouping the volumes ensures that operations are only completed on the group of volumes, not individually, enabling the creation of consistent snapshots across a group.

    Notes: Storage assisted volume migration is like host assisted volume migration except that a volume can be migrated without the assistance of the Cinder host. Vendor drivers that implement this can migrate volumes completely through the storage backend’s functionality.

    Notes: Vendor drivers that report multi-attach support are able to make one volume available to multiple instances at once. It is important to note that a clustered file system that supports multi-attach functionality is required to use multi- attach functionality otherwise data corruption may occur.

  • Active/Active High Availability Support

    Status: optional.

    Notes: Vendor drivers that support running in an active/active high availability mode. Indicating support for this means that the driver doesn’t contain things, such as local locks, that may impact an active/active configuration and that the driver has been tested to function properly in such a configuration.
