Hi Keshava,

What we want to achieve is to enable Nova to provide the visibility of its
DR state during the whole DR procedure.

At the moment we wrote the first version of the proposal, we only consider
the VM states on both the production site as well as the standby site.

However we are considering and working on a more expanded and detailed
version as we speak, and if you are interested you are welcomed to join the
effort :)
