This wishlist bug has been open a year without any activity. I'm going to move it to "Opinion / Wishlist", which is an easily-obtainable queue of older requests that have come on. If you decide to work on this consider using a blueprint [1] (maybe with a spec [2]). I'll recommend to read [3] if not yet done.

The compute will only pass online ports and will not report any ports that are down (linkdown). *Issue* If a port that was down at the attach time, comes up afterwards, or ports were physically added at some points, there is no update mechanism to inform the storage driver about them so the driver will be able to utilize them. *Solution* There should be an update mechanism that runs periodically and reports host changes to the driver through cinder.
