Everett Toews commented on JCLOUDS-515:
---------------------------------------
The Volume domain object is not actually used to create volumes. Rather, it's
the immutable object returned by Cinder when the create call is done.
>From create_volume.py we see that Cinder always sets the availability zone no
>matter what so this value should always be present when the create call is
>done.
>From VolumeApi.create(int , CreateVolumeOptions...) we can see that the
>CreateVolumeOptions object is responsible for supplying the options during the
>create call. It's here where you can optionally supply the availability zone
>with something like CreateVolumeOptions.Builder.availabilityZone("nova").
AFAICT, this change isn't necessary unless I've mischaracterized the issue.
Jasdeep, do you have a code snippet demonstrating the problem?
> Cinder volume create does not require availability zone

> Project: jclouds
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: jclouds-core
> Affects Versions: 1.7.1
> Reporter: Jasdeep Hundal
> Assignee: Jasdeep Hundal
> Fix For: 1.8.0
>
>
> Openstack Cinder does not require specifying an availability zone for volume
> creation, but the Cinder API as implemented in JClouds does. We should change
> the check in the constructor of org.jclouds.openstack.cinder.v1.domain to
> allow a null value for availability zone.
> The docs on the v1 API are not readily available but tracing through the
> Cinder source code, we find this line that gets executed if we specify no
> availability zone in either the v1 or v2 block storage APIs:
> https://github.com/openstack/cinder/blob/master/cinder/volume/flows/api/create_volume.py#L247
> It can also be noted the the Block Storage v2 request here does not require
> an availability zone:
> http://docs.openstack.org/api/openstack-block-storage/2.0/content/POST_createVolume_v2__tenant_id__volumes_Volumes.html
