REST API Version History

This documents the changes made to the REST API with every microversion change. The description for each version should be a verbose one which has enough information to be suitable for use in user documentation.

3.0 (Maximum in Mitaka)

The 3.0 Cinder API includes all v2 core APIs existing prior to the introduction of microversions. The /v3 URL is used to call 3.0 APIs. This is the initial version of the Cinder API which supports microversions.

A user can specify a header in the API request:

OpenStack-API-Version: volume <version>

where <version> is any valid api version for this API.

If no version is specified then the API will behave as if version 3.0 was requested.

The only API change in version 3.0 is versions, i.e. GET http://localhost:8786/, which now returns information about 3.0 and later versions and their respective /v3 endpoints.

All other 3.0 APIs are functionally identical to version 2.0.

3.1

Added the parameters protected and visibility to _volume_upload_image requests.

3.2

Change in return value of 'GET API request' for fetching cinder volume list on the basis of 'bootable' status of volume as filter.

Before V3.2, 'GET API request' to fetch volume list returns non-bootable volumes if bootable filter value is any of the false or False. For any other value provided to this filter, it always returns bootable volume list.

But in V3.2, this behavior is updated. In V3.2, bootable volume list will be returned for any of the 'T/True/1/true' bootable filter values only. Non-bootable volume list will be returned for any of 'F/False/0/false' bootable filter values. But for any other values passed for bootable filter, it will return "Invalid input received: bootable={filter value}' error.

3.3

Added /messages API.

3.4

Added the filter parameters glance_metadata to list/detail volumes requests.

3.5

Added pagination support to /messages API

3.6

Allowed to set empty description and empty name for consistency group in consisgroup-update operation.

3.7

Added cluster_name field to service list/detail.

Added /clusters endpoint to list/show/update clusters.

Show endpoint requires the cluster name and optionally the binary as a URL parameter (default is "cinder-volume"). Returns:

{
    "cluster": {
        "created_at": "",
        "disabled_reason": null,
        "last_heartbeat": "",
        "name": "cluster_name",
        "num_down_hosts": 4,
        "num_hosts": 2,
        "state": "up",
        "status": "enabled",
        "updated_at": ""
    }
}

Update endpoint allows enabling and disabling a cluster in a similar way to service's update endpoint, but in the body we must specify the name and optionally the binary ("cinder-volume" is the default) and the disabled reason. Returns:

{
    "cluster": {
        "name": "cluster_name",
        "state": "up",
        "status": "enabled",
        "disabled_reason": null
    }
}

Index and detail accept filtering by name, binary, disabled, num_hosts , num_down_hosts, and up/down status (is_up) as URL parameters.

Index endpoint returns:

{
    "clusters": [
        {
            "name": "cluster_name",
            "state": "up",
            "status": "enabled"
        }
    ]
 }

Detail endpoint returns:

{
    "clusters": [
        {
            "created_at": "",
            "disabled_reason": null,
            "last_heartbeat": "",
            "name": "cluster_name",
            "num_down_hosts": 4,
            "num_hosts": 2,
            "state": "up",
            "status": "enabled",
            "updated_at": ""
        }
    ]
}

3.8

Adds the following resources that were previously in extensions:

• os-volume-manage => /v3/<project_id>/manageable_volumes
• os-snapshot-manage => /v3/<project_id>/manageable_snapshots

3.9

Added backup update interface to change name and description. Returns:

{
    "backup": {
        "id": "backup_id",
        "name": "backup_name",
        "links": "backup_link"
    }
}

3.10

Added the filter parameters group_id to list/detail volumes requests.

3.11

Added group types and group specs APIs.

3.12

Added volumes/summary API.

3.13

Added create/delete/update/list/show APIs for generic volume groups.

3.14

Added group snapshots and create group from src APIs.

3.15 (Maximum in Newton)

Added injecting the response's Etag header to avoid the lost update problem with volume metadata.

3.16

os-migrate_volume now accepts cluster parameter when we want to migrate a volume to a cluster. If we pass the host parameter for a volume that is in a cluster, the request will be sent to the cluster as if we had requested that specific cluster. Only host or cluster can be provided.

Creating a managed volume also supports the cluster parameter.

3.17

os-snapshot-manage and os-volume-manage now support cluster parameter on listings (summary and detailed). Both location parameters, cluster and host are exclusive and only one should be provided.

3.18

Added backup project attribute.

3.19

Added reset status actions 'reset_status' to group snapshot.

3.20

Added reset status actions 'reset_status' to generic volume group.

3.21

Show provider_id in detailed view of a volume for admin.

3.22

Added support to filter snapshot list based on metadata of snapshot.

3.23

Allow passing force parameter to volume delete.

3.24

New API endpoint /workers/cleanup allows triggering cleanup for cinder-volume services. Meant for cleaning ongoing operations from failed nodes.

The cleanup will be performed by other services belonging to the same cluster, so at least one of them must be up to be able to do the cleanup.

Cleanup cannot be triggered during a cloud upgrade.

If no arguments are provided cleanup will try to issue a clean message for all nodes that are down, but we can restrict which nodes we want to be cleaned using parameters service_id, cluster_name, host, binary, and disabled.

Cleaning specific resources is also possible using resource_type and resource_id parameters.

We can even force cleanup on nodes that are up with is_up, but that's not recommended and should only used if you know what you are doing. For example if you know a specific cinder-volume is down even though it's still not being reported as down when listing the services and you know the cluster has at least another service to do the cleanup.

API will return a dictionary with 2 lists, one with services that have been issued a cleanup request (cleaning key) and the other with services that cannot be cleaned right now because there is no alternative service to do the cleanup in that cluster (unavailable key).

Data returned for each service element in these two lists consist of the id, host, binary, and cluster_name. These are not the services that will be performing the cleanup, but the services that will be cleaned up or couldn't be cleaned up.

3.25

Add volumes field to group list/detail and group show.

3.26

• New failover action equivalent to failover_host, but accepting cluster parameter as well as the host cluster that failover_host accepts.
• freeze and thaw actions accept cluster parameter.
• Cluster listing accepts replication_status, frozen and active_backend_id as filters, and returns additional fields for each cluster: replication_status, frozen, active_backend_id.

3.27 (Maximum in Ocata)

Added new attachment APIs. See the API reference for details.

3.28

Add filters support to get_pools

3.29

Add filter, sorter and pagination support in group snapshot.

3.30

Support sort snapshots with "name".

3.31

Add support for configure resource query filters.

3.32

Added set-log and get-log service actions.

3.33

Add resource_filters API to retrieve configured resource filters.

3.34

Add like filter support in volume, backup, snapshot, message, attachment, group and group-snapshot list APIs.

3.35

Add volume-type filter to Get-Pools API.

3.36

Add metadata to volumes/summary response body.

3.37

Support sort backup by "name".

3.38

Added enable_replication/disable_replication/failover_replication/ list_replication_targets for replication groups (Tiramisu).

3.39

Add project_id admin filters support to limits.

3.40

Add volume revert to its latest snapshot support.

3.41

Add user_id field to snapshot list/detail and snapshot show.

3.42

Add ability to extend 'in-use' volume. User should be aware of the whole environment before using this feature because it's dependent on several external factors below:

1. nova-compute version - needs to be the latest for Pike.
2. only the libvirt compute driver supports this currently.
3. only iscsi and fibre channel volume types are supported on the nova side currently.

Administrator can disable this ability by updating the volume:extend_attached_volume policy rule. Extend of a resered Volume is NOT allowed.

3.43 (Maximum in Pike)

Support backup CRUD with metadata.

3.44

Support attachment completion. See the API reference for details.

3.45

Add count field to volume, backup and snapshot list and detail APIs.

3.46

Support create volume by Nova specific image (0 size image).

3.47

Support create volume from backup.

3.48

Add shared_targets and service_uuid fields to volume.

3.49

Support report backend storage state in service list.
