I know there's StorageLink  support for NexentaStor, however as far as I know 
StorageLink only works with XenServer, not XCP.

FYI StorageLink has a NexentaStor support. It might be worth considering?

Hi,

We're planning on deploying a few servers using XCP and NexentaStor for ISCSI 
based storage. We've looked at using the lvmoiscsi model, however it doesn't 
take advantage of all the ZFS features. Also if we use the LUNperVDI driver we 
will have tons of SR (one per VM) which will be too complicated to manage, not 
to mention the fact that snapshotting and cloning VDIs will have to be handled 
manually.

Nexenta comes with a HTTP based API so I think creating a SR for it will be 
fairly easy. I found the following documentation on creating a SR for XCP and 
the NexentaStor API documentation:

http://www.xen.org/files/XenCloud/storage.pdf
http://www.nexenta.com/static/NexentaStor-API.html
http://www.nexenta.com/static/NexentaStor-API.html

Since I'm only a Python beginner and also don't have a lot of time on my hands 
currently, I'm wondering if someone would be interested in taking on this 
project and releasing the work as Open Source. I know this is not on XCP's 
roadmap so we are looking at sponsoring the project. We can also provide a 
test/development environment (XCP server and NexentaStor server) for the 
interested party.

Best regards,
Adrian Costin
