Dell EMC VxFlex OS has been rebranded to PowerFlex. The drivers
Dell EMC VxFlex OS has been rebranded to PowerFlex. The driver
``cinder.volume.drivers.dell_emc.vxflexos.driver.VxFlexOSDriver``
will now be updated to
``cinder.volume.drivers.dell_emc.powerflex.driver.PowerFlexDriver``
in cinder.conf. Driver configuration options that start with ``vxflexos``
should also be updated to ``powerflex``. Existing vxFlex OS configuration
options will continue to work but will be removed in the W release.
The previously deprecated driver
``cinder.volume.drivers.dell_emc.scaleio.driver.ScaleIODriver``
and the corresponding sio options will now be removed.
Online documentation will also change to reflect these changes.
has been renamed to
``cinder.volume.drivers.dell_emc.powerflex.driver.PowerFlexDriver``.
Although in this release the volume manager will recognize the old
driver name, that functionality will be removed in the Wallaby
release, and thus we recommend that you update the driver name in
``cinder.conf`` at your earliest convenience.
Existing vxFlex OS configuration options will continue to work in this
release, but this functionality will be removed in the Wallaby release.
Thus all driver configuration options that start with ``vxflexos``
should be updated to ``powerflex`` in your ``cinder.conf`` as soon
as possible.
Before the Rocky release, this driver was named
``cinder.volume.drivers.dell_emc.scaleio.driver.ScaleIODriver``.
That name was deprecated in the Rocky release. In this release,
the pre-Rocky name for this driver is no longer recognized and
support for configuration options beginning with ``sio`` has been
removed.
The online documentation has been updated to reflect these changes.
