OpenStorage Vendor String

Dear All,

Can any one share the string of all known OpenStorage vendors.The switch "-stype" for nbdevconfig identifies the Storage type (provided by storage vendors) to NBU. It would be very helpful to know these strings for all storage vendors.

  • There is no Symantec/NBU documentation that lists all the possible vendor strings,  since the OpenStorage vendor provides the string that identifies their storage type  - as you correctly pointed out in your post.

    The list of supported OST vendors can be found in the Hardware Compatibility List (which normally corresponds with the Vendor string in -stype) : http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH76495

    You will have to obtain documentation from each storage vendor for exact string. Links to each vendor's web site in the Hardware Compatibility list.
