<b>Subject:</b> [openstack-dev] [cinder] Attaching extra-spec to vol-type using Cinder py-client<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<div>
<p>Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>I am trying to create and type-set some parameters to a volume-type as follows:<o:p></o:p></p>
<pre>cinder type-create nfs<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>cinder type-key nfs set volume_backend_name=myNFSBackend<o:p></o:p></pre>
<p>The same thing I want to achieve through python client. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>I can create the type as follows:<o:p></o:p></p>
<pre>from cinderclient import client <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>cinder = client.Client('2', 'admin', 'pw', 'demo', '<a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__127.0.0.1-3A5000_v2.0&d=AwMBaQ&c=Sqcl0Ez6M0X8aeM67LKIiDJAXVeAw-YihVMNtXt-uEs&r=CTAUyaHvyUUJ-0QHviztQxBhCDLLSg1DksoSE4TOfZ8&m=EIUflZKBvoV_Hp3DkmTE612FqBGHpwXLuwGJ3UpwbbI&s=hk8YML4Dn_kR2cMzCB4Lohd-fnmlk8Z9zBEu1Cc3DO0&e=">http://127.0.0.1:5000/v2.0</a>', service_type="volumev2")<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>cinder.volume_types.create('nfs')<o:p></o:p></pre>
<p>However how can I associate the extra-spec through python-client code to the 'nfs' volume (same impact as the CLI 'cinder type-key nfs set volume_backend_name=myNFSBackend' does)?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>The 'set_keys' etc. methods are there in the "v2/volume_types.py" in python-cinderclient codebase. How to call it? (it's part of VolumeType class, not VolumeTypeManager).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Any help would be great.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Thanks, Pradip<o:p></o:p></p>
