Supporting NVMEoF RDMA target for LVM driver
In the recent years, the momentum behind NVMe has increased and is expected to grow even more in the next year.
In this blueprint, we are supporting a way to use NVMeOF architecture over RDMA for Openstack.
A new target, NVMET, is added for the LVM driver over RDMA, it allows cinder to use nvmetcli in order to create/delete subsystems on attaching/detaching an LVM volume to/from an instance.
By choosing iscsi_helper as nvmet, other parameters can be configured too in cinder.conf like nvmet_port_id, nvmet_ns_id (for namespace) and nvmet_subsystem
