OK, cool - thanks for the info, Edison. When you say, "One API is missing," does that mean you're still working on implementing that functionality?
Also, it sounds like these plug-ins are associated with Zone-wide Primary Storage. I thought Zone-wide Primary Storage wasn't available for all hypervisors? This is from a different e-mail you sent out: "Xenserver and vmware doesn’t support zone wide primary storage, currently, this feature is only for NFS/Ceph in KVM. And I think it should be useful for your storage box? I am thinking per data volume per LUN for xenserver." I'm not sure how my plug-in would work with XenServer, VMware, etc. if it has to be Zone-wide. Can you clarify this for me? Thanks!
