Add support for providing cinder scheduler hints when creating volumes
Registered by
Edward Hope-Morley
When booting an instance with nova boot --block-device i.e. asking Nova to
auto-create storage for a new instance, there is currently no way for Nova to
hint to the Cinder scheduler how it should go about creating/placing this
volumes. This specification proposes adding support for storing cinder
extra_specs in Nova flavors and passing them to Cinder when volumes are
created.
Scheduler hints were added to python-cinderclient for the Cinder V2 API only so we would have to wait for the following blueprint to land in order to support this feature:
