Hi Team, I'd like to request FFE to the following change: [1] Hitachi: Add generic volume groups https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/782910 - This patch adds consistency group capability as generic volume groups for the Hitachi driver. This change and blueprint were submitted in time and it has been good progress in the reviews until this point. This patch is isolated to the Hitachi driver module, and have no impact on the Cinder database, REST/RPC and APIs.

Please do not approve patches proposing features for master until after the stable/xena branch has been cut the week of 13 September. The following blueprints are granted feature freeze exceptions: - https://secure-web.cisco.com/1esUHJyUlDOFXd10REcKVNw8NBLq3WM7zB53bQ2dG6d_4AK... - https://secure-web.cisco.com/1wxRMdxHHb-gemG2KizQtfPjVmtpBfsSPKKdJXHmCPFs6L9... Any other feature patches (including driver features) that have not yet merged and are associated with an approved xena blueprint may apply for a Feature Freeze Exception by replying to this email before Tuesday, 7 September at 20:00 UTC. Note that application for an FFE is not a guarantee that an FFE will be granted. Grant of an FFE is not a guarantee that the code will be merged for Xena. It is expected that patches granted an FFE will be merged by 21:00 UTC on Monday 13 September. Bugfixes do not require an FFE. To be included in Xena, they must be merged before the first Release Candidate is cut on Thursday 16 September. After that point, only release-critical bugfixes will be allowed into the Xena release. Ping me in IRC if you have any questions. cheers, brian
