volume type¶

volume type create¶

Create new volume type

openstack volume type create
    [--description <description>]
    [--public | --private]
    [--property <key=value> [...] ]
    [--project <project>]
    [--project-domain <project-domain>]
    [--encryption-provider <provider>]
    [--encryption-cipher <cipher>]
    [--encryption-key-size <key-size>]
    [--encryption-control-location <control-location>]
    <name>

--description <description>¶

Volume type description

New in version 2.

--public¶

Volume type is accessible to the public

New in version 2.

--private¶

Volume type is not accessible to the public

New in version 2.

--property <key=value>¶

Set a property on this volume type (repeat option to set multiple properties)

--project <project>¶

Allow <project> to access private type (name or ID) (Must be used with --private option)

Volume version 2 only

--project-domain <project-domain>¶

Domain the project belongs to (name or ID). This can be used in case collisions between project names exist.

Volume version 2 only

--encryption-provider <provider>¶

Set the encryption provider format for this volume type (e.g “luks” or “plain”) (admin only)

This option is required when setting encryption type of a volume. Consider using other encryption options such as: --encryption-cipher, --encryption-key-size and --encryption-control-location

--encryption-cipher <cipher>¶

Set the encryption algorithm or mode for this volume type (e.g “aes-xts-plain64”) (admin only)

--encryption-key-size <key-size>¶

Set the size of the encryption key of this volume type (e.g “128” or “256”) (admin only)

--encryption-control-location <control-location>¶

Set the notional service where the encryption is performed (“front-end” or “back-end”) (admin only)

The default value for this option is “front-end” when setting encryption type of a volume. Consider using other encryption options such as: --encryption-cipher, --encryption-key-size and --encryption-provider

Delete volume type(s)

openstack volume type delete
    <volume-type> [<volume-type> ...]

<volume-type>

Volume type(s) to delete (name or ID)

volume type list¶

openstack volume type set
    [--name <name>]
    [--description <description>]
    [--property <key=value> [...] ]
    [--project <project>]

New in version 2.

--project <project>¶

Set volume type access to project (name or ID) (admin only)

Volume version 2 only

--project-domain <project-domain>¶

Domain the project belongs to (name or ID). This can be used in case collisions between project names exist.

--property <key=value>¶

Set a property on this volume type (repeat option to set multiple properties)

--encryption-provider <provider>¶

Set the encryption provider format for this volume type (e.g “luks” or “plain”) (admin only)

This option is required when setting encryption type of a volume for the first time. Consider using other encryption options such as: --encryption-cipher, --encryption-key-size and --encryption-control-location

--encryption-cipher <cipher>¶

Set the encryption algorithm or mode for this volume type (e.g “aes-xts-plain64”) (admin only)

--encryption-key-size <key-size>¶

Set the size of the encryption key of this volume type (e.g “128” or “256”) (admin only)

--encryption-control-location <control-location>¶

Set the notional service where the encryption is performed (“front-end” or “back-end”) (admin only)

The default value for this option is “front-end” when setting encryption type of a volume for the first time. Consider using other encryption options such as: --encryption-cipher, --encryption-key-size and --encryption-provider
