----------------------------------------------
Waned to check on QAaspect for this feature.
- See ticket description.FS for feature description
- Can someone pick this up from community to do functional QA /Automation for
this plug-in.
- Pl see cwiki for test plans and execution results templates
> Implement SolidFire (storage) plug-in and expose control of IOPS to admins
> and end users

> Design Document:
> https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Implement+SolidFire+(storage)+plug-in+and+expose+control+of+IOPS+to+admins+and+end+users
> Implement a storage plug-in for SolidFire. The plug-in is based on the new
> storage framework that went in with 4.2, as well.
> In addition, there are GUI (and related) changes to enable admins and end
> users to specify a Min, Max, and Burst number of IOPS for a Disk Offering.
> These fields (although optional) tend to follow the pattern previously
> established for the Disk Size field.
> Also, the storage framework itself needs to be enhanced. For example, it
> needs to support creating and deleting storage repositories as is necessary
> for a dynamic type of zone-wide primary storage (such as the SolidFire
> plug-in is).
> The desired behavior of the software is as such:
> * Allow an admin to invoke the CloudStack API to add Primary Storage based on
> the SolidFire plug-in.
> * Allow an admin to create a Disk Offering that specifies a Min, Max, and
> Burst number of IOPS or allows the admin to pass this ability on to the end
> user.
> * Allow an end user to execute such a Disk Offering. As is the case for any
> Disk Offering, this leads to the creation of a row in the volumes table.
> * Allow an end user to attach the resultant volume (noted in the DB) to a VM.
> The storage framework invokes logic in the plug-in and the plug-in creates a
> volume on its SAN with the correct size and IOPS values. The agent software
> for XenServer detects that such an attach is being requested and creates a
> Storage Repository (and single VDI within the SR) based on the storage IP
> address of the SAN and the IQN of the volume. The VDI is then hooked up to
> the VM.
> * Allow an end user to detach the volume. This leads to the destruction of
> the SR, but the SAN volume remains intact and can be reattached later to any
> VM running in a XenServer resource pool in the zone.
> * Allow an end user to delete the volume. This leads to the volume being
> deleted on the SAN and being marked in the CloudStack DB as deleted.
