             Summary: CLONE - Implement a CloudByte storage plugin.
                 Key: CLOUDSTACK-6173

             Project: CloudStack
          Issue Type: New Feature
      Security Level: Public (Anyone can view this level - this is the default.)
          Components: API, Management Server
    Affects Versions: Future
         Environment: All supported CloudStack platforms
            Reporter: punith


The new plugin will follow the design principles abstracted by CloudStack API for implementing a storage plugin.

This new enhancement will try to reuse the QoS params ( i.e. max IOPs) exposed in the modified Disk-Offering UI page.
 
 The basic behavior of this plugin will be to :
 - Allow CloudStack(CS) Admin to invoke CS API to add Primary Storage based on Elastistor's plug-in.
    This will create a volume (Storage IP:/path)  in the Elastistor.
    The newly created volume will be attached as a SR in Xen Hypervisor.
 - Allow CS Admin to create a desired Disk Offering. The access control followed for creation of Disk Offering will be maintained in this feature too.
 - Allow an end user to use above created Disk Offering to add a new Volume.
 - Allow an end user to attach the above created volume (i.e. DataDisk) to a VM. 
 - Allow an end user to detach a volume from a VM.
 - Allow an end user to delete a volume from a VM.

Note - The plugin will be tested initially on Xen Hypervisor with NFS based Storage Repository.
