OpenStack Compute (nova)

Adding Volume Types to Nova Volumes

Registered by Chuck Thier

Enable different storage classes within a storage system, and uses of multiple storage backends within a Nova installation

This involves:

1. Adding VolumeType with an id and a name, similar to InstanceType
2. Adding VolumeTypeExtraSpecs to allow specific values to be associated with volume types
3. Example scheduler that can use these values to a) schedule to different backends and b) pass the extra metadata to create_volume
