When I read this specs file, I found a lot of spelling mistakes, and I made a change here to give you a good code reading experience. In specs, modify "acording" to "according" and "priviledges" to "privileges" and "Additionaly" to "Additionally" and so on. you can get them from the "File Path" in the web.

Proposed change
2 new volume drivers for iSCSI and FC should be developed, bridging Open stack commands to XtremIO management system (XMS) using XMS Rest API. The drivers should support the following Open stack actions:
- Volume Create/Delete
- Volume Attach/Detach
- Snapshot Create/Delete
- Create Volume from Snapshot
- Get Volume Stats
- Copy Image to Volume
- Copy Volume to Image
- Clone Volume
- Extend Volume
