consistency group api needs to return volume type ID

[Richard Hagarty]

Volume type is required to create a consistency group, but the API to get consistency groups does not include this value.

Horizon needs this value for its "Add volumes to consistency group" panel so that it can filter the "available volumes" list to only show volumes that match the volume type associated with the consistency group.

@Deepti Ramakrishna - any progress on this defect?

We have been working on recreating this item but ran into two issues,

https://bugs.launchpad.net/cinder/+bug/1503968

Deepti will provide further updates later.

[Alex O'Rourke (alex-orourke)]

Those two bugs are not related to this bug in particular.

I would be interested in taking this over if needed.

Hi Richard,

I have already spent some time on this bug. Can I take a couple more days time? If I don't fix it in next few days, I will update you and unassign myself. Is that okay?

Thanks,
Deepti

[Richard Hagarty (richard-hagarty)]

That's fine Deepti.

But please let us know if you have any issues. We are really looking forward to using this functionality in Horizon.

Thanks,
Rich

    CG API should return volume type IDs

    The create method of consistency group API requires a list of
    volume type ids; volumes belonging to only these types can be added
    to the consistency group. The get method of the consistency group API
    does not, however, return the volume type id information.

    Horizon needs this value for its "Add volumes to consistency group"
    panel so that it can filter the "available volumes" list to only
    show volumes that match the volume type associated with the consistency
    group.

    This was fixed by propagating the volume type id information in
    the api layer (this information is stored in the db, it just wasn't
    being propagated).

    APIImpact
    The get method of the consistency group API now returns the volume
    type ids information.

    DocImpact
    The screenshots in the admin guide (see
    http://docs.openstack.org/admin-guide-cloud/blockstorage-consistency-groups.html)
    should be updated to show this new field.
