+NetApp ONTAP Plug-in
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This plugin enables NetApp Unified ONTAP storage systems as a managed primary
+storage in CloudStack for KVM hypervisors. It supports both NFS 3.0 and iSCSI
+protocols, integrating with the traditional ONTAP unified storage architecture.
+
+This documentation assumes you have the following configured in your
+environment before adding a storage pool in CloudStack:
+
+- NetApp Unified ONTAP 9.15.1 or higher.
+- A Storage Virtual Machine (SVM) in ONTAP storage with NFS 3.0 or iSCSI
protocol enabled.
+- Only an IPv4-type Data LIF is supported. The Data LIF must be reachable
from all KVM hypervisor hosts in CloudStack.
+- Ensure Storage VM (SVM) is mapped to aggregates (aggrs) with sufficient
+ capacity.
+- For iSCSI: iSCSI protocol enabled on the KVM host and adapter is configured.
+- For NFS 3.0: NFS protocol enabled on the KVM host.
+
+When this storage pool is used with Compute or Disk Offerings, an administrator
+is able to build an environment in which a root or data disk that a user
creates
+leads to the dynamic creation of a LUN or file on the ONTAP volume. Such a
+LUN or file is associated with one (and only ever one) CloudStack volume.
+
+Through the CloudStack UI, you can create ONTAP storage pool using these
+required fields:
+
+- Provider: NetApp ONTAP
+- Scope: Zone or Cluster
+- Zone: target zone name
+- Pod: Pod name (required for Cluster scope)
+- Cluster: Cluster name (required for Cluster scope)
+- Name: storage pool name
+- Protocol: NFS3 or ISCSI
+- Storage Array IP: ONTAP Storage IP or Management LIF
+- Username: ONTAP Storage IP username (Cluster-level)
+- Password: ONTAP Storage IP password (cluster-level)
+- SVM Name: SVM name in ONTAP storage
+- Capacity Bytes: total capacity in bytes
+- Storage Tags: storage pool tags
