Preston,
Thanks for your support. What I mentioned Cinder Brick is described in this wiki page: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/CinderBrick

Regards.

Hi Emma,

I do not claim to be an OpenStack guru, but might know something about backing up a vCloud.

What proposal did you have in mind? A link would be helpful.

Backing up a step (ha), the existing cinder-backup API is very close to useless. Backup needs to apply to an active instance. The Nova backup API is closer, but needs (much) work.

Local storage is a big issue, as at scale we need to extract changed-block lists. (VMware has an advantage here, for now.)

Hi Gurus,
I saw the wiki page for Cinder Brick proposal for Havana, but I didn't see any follow up on that idea. Is there any real progress on that idea?

As this proposal is to address the local storage issue, I'd like to know the status, and to see if there is any task required for hypervisor provider.

Any comments are appreciated
Emma
