Hi,

I was wondering if someone has some experience with Cinder and the iScsi 
Netapp driver.
We managed to use it through the OnCommand API and to 
create/attach/detach/reattach volume.

2 questions:
- The snapshots seem broken. It is not clear if it is available or not. 
Any idea ? Success ?
  The API seems to handle the request but we could not make it to work.

- When you attach a volume it seems the device name choice is not 
respected:
  volume end up all the time with /dev/vdb. (If vdb exist it will go to 
the next available vdc in this case) but
  the cli and horizon show the user choice (/dev/vdd for example).
  Even the dumpxml show the user chosen device.

I didn't find a bugzilla but there is a discussion here : 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1004328
The solution seems more a workaround e.g using a SN based naming.

Let me know if I should open a bugzilla issue where I can attached the 
details, logs, etc....

cheers,
Thomas.
