Shouldn't "nova list" and some shell script magic do most of this? The only problem would be to make sure that two people didn't ask for a name at the same time On Mon, Feb 3, 2014 at 1:19 AM, Tim Bell wrote: > > -Original Message- > > From: John Griffith [mailto:john.griff...@solidfir

Thanks Tim, we actually have the max length constraint as well (imposed because of Active Directory integration). We've gone back and forth about adding validation or generating names. We've chosen name generation for the time being because we felt that that would be better for the user than reject

Swift isn¹t the easiest project to understand. You will probably find the docs around it helpful. Based on your questions so far I think starting here would be most useful: http://docs.openstack.org/developer/swift/overview_architecture.html Andrew Kerr Subject: Re: [Openstack] storage virtual

thanks for reply Cedric what does swift do for adding more devices as storage node? how does swift abstract storage from the devices? And how swift recognise whether there is free space on a particular storage node to store data? On Sunday, 2 February 2014 4:23 PM, Cédric Lemarchand wrote:

It is my understanding that swift lays on top of cinder thus it uses whatever cinder presents to it. Thus if you need to integrate all these different devices you do it at that level. On Sun, Feb 2, 2014 at 5:15 AM, pragya jain wrote: > thanks for the reply > > My question is: > if we have di

Hi Craig, in reality is what we are doing... to fail early we have some checks at API level. In the case of VM hostname uniqueness we check first if it exists already on DNS (the network is shared between between all the lab). Then we have some hooks in the nova network driver to interact with o

I am not talking about cinder. My question is: Openstack swift provides storage as a service to the user so that user can store their data offline. when a user store some data on swift using Object PUT command, data is stored as an object at some storage node. 1. What is this storage node - Is it

It would be interesting to have a formal exit inside OpenStack nova at VM creation for this sort of check rather than having to patch the code. Other scenarios that I've seen is where there is a need to enforce limits as the server name is used for other purposes. Examples are characters in the
