Ieb9a03d308495be4e8c54b5c6c0ff781ea7f0559 introduced support for using QEMU's native iSCSI initiator support way back in Kilo. However this was only enabled when the LibvirtNetVolumeDriver class was configured as the ``iscsi`` volume driver via the ``[libvirt]/volume_drivers`` configurable. Unfortunately this configurable was removed in Liberty by I832820499ec3304132379ad9b9d1ee92c5a75b61 essentially rendering this ``iscsi`` based code path dead ever since unless operators manually hacked the now static ``libvirt_volume_drivers`` list within driver.py. As a result of this and a complete lack of any test coverage in the gate we can now remove this unreachable code from Nova. It might be desirable to reintroduce this support later but this should take the form of an extracted volume driver and a new configurable within nova.conf to switch between the two available drivers. Closes-Bug: #1501447 Change-Id: I1043287fe8063c4b2af07c997a931a7097518ca9

OpenStack Nova
==============
OpenStack Nova provides a cloud computing fabric controller, supporting a wide
variety of compute technologies, including: libvirt (KVM, Xen, LXC and more),
Hyper-V, VMware, XenServer, OpenStack Ironic and PowerVM.
Use the following resources to learn more.
API
---
To learn how to use Nova's API, consult the documentation available online at:
- `Compute API Guide <https://developer.openstack.org/api-guide/compute/>`__
- `Compute API Reference <https://developer.openstack.org/api-ref/compute/>`__
For more information on OpenStack APIs, SDKs and CLIs in general, refer to:
- `OpenStack for App Developers <https://www.openstack.org/appdev/>`__
- `Development resources for OpenStack clouds
<https://developer.openstack.org/>`__
Operators
---------
To learn how to deploy and configure OpenStack Nova, consult the documentation
available online at:
- `OpenStack Nova <https://docs.openstack.org/nova/>`__
In the unfortunate event that bugs are discovered, they should be reported to
the appropriate bug tracker. If you obtained the software from a 3rd party
operating system vendor, it is often wise to use their own bug tracker for
reporting problems. In all other cases use the master OpenStack bug tracker,
available at:
- `Bug Tracker <https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova>`__
Developers
----------
For information on how to contribute to Nova, please see the contents of the
CONTRIBUTING.rst.
Any new code must follow the development guidelines detailed in the HACKING.rst
file, and pass all unit tests.
Further developer focused documentation is available at:
- `Official Nova Documentation <https://docs.openstack.org/nova/>`__
- `Official Client Documentation
<https://docs.openstack.org/python-novaclient/>`__
Other Information
-----------------
During each `Summit`_ and `Project Team Gathering`_, we agree on what the whole
community wants to focus on for the upcoming release. The plans for nova can
