The ability to specify volume type during server create is complete since 2018-10-16. However, the patches for being able to detach a boot volume and volume-backed server rebuild are in merge conflict/stale. Help is needed here.
It's Chinese New Year / Spring Festival this week so the developers that own these changes are on holiday. Kevin told me last week that once he's back he's going to complete the detach/attach root volume work. The spec was amended [1] and needs another spec core to approve (probably would be good to have Dan do that since was involved in the initial spec review).
As for the volume-backed rebuild change, I asked Jie Li on the review if he needed someone to help push it forward and he said he did. It sounds like Kevin and/or Yikun might be able to help there. Yikun already has the Cinder side API changes all done and there is a patch for the python-cinderclient change, but the Cinder API change is blocked until we have an end-to-end working scenario in Tempest for the volume-backed rebuild flow in nova. I can help with the Tempest change when the time comes since that should be pretty straightforward.
That's all great news! Thanks for the summary and for volunteering to help with the Tempest change. We'll keep our eyes peeled for updates to those patch series coming soon. Cheers, -melanie
