API 1.0 updates, January 20, 2016#

What’s new#

The ability to create volumes on a different node or rack than existing volumes was added. Use the metadata parameter in the body of the request, and specify different_node or different_rack with a comma-separated list of volume IDs from which you want the volume that you are creating to be distinct. For example, specifying the following parameters in the request body creates a volume on a rack that is different from the three specified volume IDs:

“metadata”: “different_rack=45c2c5c4-2666-43e9-aa6b-e58eb733410b, 8d472323-196d-47bf-8f17-a21b978d0f90,f158d108-aa30-4609-9d31-c2b230f8a871”

Note that if the criteria specified with metadata cannot be met, the volume will be in an error state.

See the create volume operation for this addition.
