Can't specify volume_type for cinder store

[Andrey Pavlov]

It would be very helpful to add volume_type parameter to cinder store options.

Right now glance_store is being configured to store images in cinder (default_store = cinder) will use default volume type that is defined in cinder.
But in big deployments several volume types can be created and used - individual for SSD or HDD disks and etc.

Also it would be good if this change can be merged to Newton.

[Nikhil Komawar (nikhil-komawar)]

This bug should be target against Ocata. I've proposed a newton backport which we can discuss once the merge on master takes place.

[Erno Kuvaja (jokke)]

By the looks of it this really isn't a bug but a feature request and as such we should not backport it.

[Ian Cordasco (icordasc)]

I've updated the series listings for glance_store and this now targets Ocata.

I agree with jokke that this is a feature request and nominations of it to stable series will not be accepted.

    Add cinder_volume_type to cinder store configuration

    Some cinder backend can have several volume types to optimize
    storage usage.
    Adding this option allows to choose specific volume type in cinder
    that can be optimized for images.
    Now default_volume_type from cinder configuration is used for
    volume creation but this solution is not so suitable for storing
    images in cinder.
