Hi Jon,

 

I have registered the blueprint for this idea of a new cinder API to move a volume from one group to another directly : https://blueprints.launchpad.net/cinder/+spec/volume-migration-between-groups


Please let me know if this is alright so that I can get started on the development for the same 😊

Thanks and Regards,

Harsh Ailani

That’s great Jon ! Thankyou for looking into this. I will get started on raising a blueprint for the same and add it to our cinder weekly meeting topic for any further discussions. Thanks and Regards, Harsh Ailani From: Jon Bernard <jobernar@ redhat. com>

It is possible, that's part of the design of open source :)  As an API
change - a spec is required, but assuming it's technically sound and
meets the project requirements, it would certainly be considered.
