Valid States API
================
Include the URL of your launchpad blueprint:
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/cinder/+spec/valid-states-api
Provide an API to obtain the set of valid states that are permissible to be
used in the function to reset the state of a volume and snapshot.
Problem description
===================
The purpose of this feature is to facilite exposing the reset-state API in
horizon in a meaningful way by restricting the set of permissible states that
the administrator can specify for a volume. There is no API for this, and it
is undesirable to hardcode this information into horizon.
Use Cases
=========
Proposed change
===============
A new API function and corresponding cinder command will be added to determine
the set of valid states for volumes or snapshots.
The initial proposal is to create a single function, get_valid_states, to
obtain the valid states for any type of resource (volume, snapshot).
Alternatives
------------
For consistency with the rest of cinder, get_valid_states may be renamed and/or
split into multiple functions, one per resource type; this decision will be
left as an implementation detail and will be finalized as part of the normal
code review process.
Data model impact
-----------------
None
REST API impact
---------------
Add a new REST API to retrieve valid states:
* GET /v2/{tenant_id}/states
JSON response schema definition::
'valid_states': {
'type': 'array',
'items' : {
'type': 'string'
}
}
Security impact
---------------
None
Notifications impact
--------------------
None
Other end user impact
---------------------
A new command, get-valid-states, will be added to python-cinderclient. This
command mirrors the underlying API function.
Obtaining the list of valid states for a volume or snapshot can be performed
by:
$ cinder get-valid-states
Performance Impact

Work Items
----------
* Implement REST API
* Implement cinder client functions
* Implement cinder command
Dependencies
============
Horizon blueprints that will depend on this one:
* https://blueprints.launchpad.net/horizon/+spec/cinder-reset-volume-state
* https://blueprints.launchpad.net/horizon/+spec/cinder-reset-snapshot-state
Testing
=======
None
Documentation Impact
====================
The cinder client documentation will need to be updated to reflect the new
command.
The cinder API documentation will need to be updated to reflect the REST API
changes.
