Mike, I request the same consideration being given to the Oracle driver team:

We are going to try by hook or crook to scrounge/borrow equipment to put a quick and dirty CI together and get it reliably reporting.

That's really too bad this took so long. The deadline itself has been overly announced on the mailing list and Cinder IRC meetings. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] 2) We have a number of FC drivers today that had no problem meeting this deadline that was expressed in November 2014. 3) I've barely received updates from Netapp folks on progress here. I'm the only point of contact, so if you weren't talking to me, then it's unknown. I've expressed this to a number of your engineers and in my announcements about the CI deadline [8] I had to engage with Netapp to get updates, no one came to me with updates. The last update I heard from one of your engineers was, we bought the hardware, but it's just sitting there. That is not acceptable with us being past the deadline, and shows a clear sign of this not being a priority. > NetApp has been very forthcoming in our progress and have gotten all our > other CI systems in place for 7-mode iSCSI/NFS, cDOT iSCSI/NFS and E-Series. > > I respectfully request that NetApp FC be removed from this list of drivers to > be removed for Kilo and placed back in the releaes and we can negotiate an > agreed upon time as to when the CI system for these drivers will be in place. There will be no negotiating on what is an acceptable timeline for Netapp. What we all agreed to as a *community* back at the summit and Cinder IRC meeting was it.
