Hi, Alberto,

I'm really interested in your proposal, have you already submitted
your spec? or is there any topic for you to have a discussion with
Nova team in design summit?

I wonder what if the nova compute host use shared storage backend,
like NFS or Ceph?

I have another suggestion, we can consider adding this capability in
nova manage CLI, since it's just may be used by operator or
administrator(at least for create/update/delete command), right?
