[Openstack-operators] Can you restrict a user or tenant to a Cinder volume type?

I believe you use the volume type parameter on the cinder update quota. I couldn’t find the doc examples but here is help text.

cinder help quota-update
usage: cinder quota-update [--volumes <volumes>] [--snapshots <snapshots>]
                           [--gigabytes <gigabytes>]
                           [--volume-type <volume_type_name>]
                           <tenant_id>

Update the quotas for a tenant.

Positional arguments:
  <tenant_id>           UUID of tenant to set the quotas for.

Optional arguments:
  --volumes <volumes>   New value for the "volumes" quota.
  --snapshots <snapshots>
                        New value for the "snapshots" quota.
  --gigabytes <gigabytes>
                        New value for the "gigabytes" quota.
  --volume-type <volume_type_name>
                        Volume type (Optional, Default=None)

Hi Tim

Could you tell us how to do per volume_type quota with an example?
I can't seem to figure out the commands ....

You can set a quota for the different cinder types. However, they would still be listed on the horizon panel and with the CLIs.

There is a blueprint for private cinder types. At CERN, we do not wish to make public all of the different volume types we have since some are dedicated for particular projects. Details at https://blueprints.launchpad.net/cinder/+spec/private-volume-types

Hello all,

I have a need to restrict a user or tenant to only be able to use a set defined Cinder volume type. That volume type is tied to separate backends defined in Cinder. I only want a certain user or tenant to see a defined volume type in Horizon. Is that possible? I sorted thru the Cinder RBAC settings and unable to figure out which one would do this, if at all.

Any assistance on this matter would be great!
