You can set/unset key value pairs to your volume type with the cinder type-key command. Or you can also set them in the Horizon Admin console under the Admin->Volumes->Volume Types tab, then select “View Extra Specs” Action.

$cinder help type-key
usage: cinder type-key <vtype> <action> <key=value> [<key=value> ...]

Sets or unsets extra_spec for a volume type.

Positional arguments:
  <vtype>      Name or ID of volume type.
  <action>     The action. Valid values are 'set' or 'unset.'
  <key=value>  The extra specs key and value pair to set or unset. For unset,
               specify only the key.

e.g.
cinder type-key GoldVolumeType set volume_backend_name=my_iscsi_backend

Thanks!
One more question.
Is there any equivalent API to add keys to the volume-type? I understand we have APIs for creating volume-type? But how about adding key-value pair (say I want to add-key to the volume-type as backend-name="my_iscsi_backend" ?

Thanks,
Pradip

See https://review.openstack.org/#/c/119938/ - now merged. I don't believe the python-cinderclient side work has been done yet, nor anything in Horizon, but the API itself is now there.

Hi,

Is there a way to find out/list down the backends discovered for Cinder?

There is, I guess, no API for get the list of backends.


Thanks,
Pradip
