Hi, Thank you for the quick reply. That sounds useful for testing general Manila functionality. In an ideal world I would like the backend I use to support a multi-tenacy segmented network, this one does not - "The driver does not support network segmented multi-tenancy model, but instead works over a flat network, where the tenants share a network" I am using vxlan in the tenant network, and so would like to create a Manila share network with a vxlan segmentation id. Is there another backend that would support this, or am I bound to NetApp for this sort of support?

Hi, Just an update. As nobody here seems to know the answer to this I have asked NetApp the same question as they clearly are an early adopter of Manila and will understand how it works. I will post back with any answers I get.
