Hello community and core reviewers, We are from the IBM Team to develop the IBM SVf Cinder Driver for our community and on-prem customers. Till 2022 we were contributing and participating actively in the community development and review processes but due to internal organisational changes we were unable to participate in the community. Also, our CI/CD pipeline was disrupted for over a year which caused the major delay in our contribution. However, now the team is back on track along with the CI/CD pipeline and we have some huge line items that we need to upstream so that all our OpenStack customers could use those features with IBM Storages. Currently we have the following patches active which need your reviews so that they can be merged and be useable for the customers: Volume-group feature support patches: 1. [IBM SVf driver] Adding support for temporary volumegroup | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/925450 2. [IBM SVf Driver] Added support for volumegroup-snapshot for temporary volumegroup | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/926844 3. [IBM SVf Driver] Added support for restorefromsnapshot CLI for volumegroups | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/916722 4. [IBM SVf Driver] Added support of clone operation for volumegroup | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/938771 5. Doc: Documentation updates for ibm-svf-volumegroup feature. | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/929906 Our team is relatively new (except myself) and we are starting the process of reviewing other contributor’s patches as well. Requesting the core reviewers to please help use review these patches and get the merged in the community as we have more storage features in development pipeline which has dependencies on volume-group feature. Thanks and Regards, Harsh Ailani Openstack Developer - Flashsystem IBM
