Support for virtualized storage behind EMC VPLEX

We would like to use PowerVC but we are moving towards an environment where all storage is virtualized behind EMC's Vplex. This is fine for normal OS deployment but I am told PowerVC requires Open Stack drivers and EMC does not have them for Vplex (INVISTA).

    Thank you for the requirement request - we really appreciate the time to log requests to make PowerVC a better product. Given that there is no VPLEX Cinder driver available in the OpenStack Cinder community, we are closing this request. PowerVC's strategy regarding storage piggybacks on community participation from several vendors; in the absence of an OpenStack Cinder driver for a particular storage array (in this case, VPLEX), IBM cannot support the respective array. We suggest following up with your vendor regarding this topic.
