I would probably add:

-          Standardize capability reporting for nova-volume service

-          Volume-type aware schedulers

-          Volume-type aware drivers (or actually volume drivers for volume types)?

WRT time of the meeting – pls note that there is Vish’s meeting at 2pm PST. We could do ours prior or after that. How about 1pm PST?

Subject: RE: nova volume - next steps

Hi John, everyone,

Thursday afternoon works for me. Could we have a specific agenda of everything people would like to bring up, so we can make progress.
Should we start/limit the meeting to the topics proposed on etherpad already?

So far we have:
Add Default Scheduler
Zone Aware Volumes
API Changes
Default volume type flag
ADMIN API for dynamic storage
Multiple volume creation

This already seems like a lot. Anything we need to add? Anything that can wait?
Do we have blueprints that need attention?

Thanks,
Renuka.

Adding volume ML to cc.

As John pointed before, it might be beneficial if we will meet over IRC/phone and discuss our requirements for the product. Based on that we could create some work plan and assign priorities.
How about this coming Thursday… or is it too early? The alternative option – to do it over email...

Regards,
-Vladimir

All,
It seems that we all have some thoughts/desires surrounding block storage and ways to integrate with OpenStack.  I'm wondering if it would be of value/interest to conduct a meeting (IRC, phone, ???)?  I'm open with regards to the format, but I think there are a number of things that folks are interested in here and it might be useful to try and see if we can coordinate a bit to actually contribute something that offers reuse for everybody.

It also might be useful for some of us to discuss the current implementation/capabilities and what we feel is missing (if anything).

Thanks,
John

Renuka et al,

No specific preference on how to communicate…  Regarding blueprints:

NetApp will be submitting a blueprint for integration with NetApp's OnCommand Provisoning Manager Service Catalog.  We've also interest in the following:

https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/filedriver

Please also add Jim Holl (cc'd here) to this distribution.

Thanks!

Subject: nova volume - next steps

Hello,

I thought I should get a thread started with everyone who wants to be involved with the nova volume code.


1.       I was wondering how people would like to communicate going forward – mailing list, weekly/biweekly meetings, or emails as required?



2.       Could we share any blueprints/ roadmaps that we have, so that everyone knows what’s coming, and to avoid duplicating effort.
Currently Citrix is working on getting the storage manager code upstream. Here is the blueprint for that: http://wiki.openstack.org/xenapi-sm-volume-driver

I know this one is going to be merged upstream soon: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/volume-cleanup

I couldn’t find any blueprint for the session we had about “Secure control path for Nova-volume attach”.
Vish, do you know the status of these blueprints - https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova?searchtext=volume ?



Please add anyone from your team I may have missed.



Thanks,

Renuka.

I think Thursday sounds good, not sure of time zones but if folks are interested we can try to get something organized today.

John
