External Storage Array Management API
The ability to manage external storage arrays and exploit the advanced features they provide in a programmatic way is an important capability for Linux. However, achieving storage array API nirvana isn't an easy thing to do with numerous obstacles in its path (e.g. licensing, terminology, features).
In this session I would like to give a brief introduction to the libStorageMgmt project I am working on, discuss the difficulties it has encountered, and have an open discussion on how it can best work with other storage management components.
