Description RHOS Integration 2013-12-12 13:33:56 UTC

Cloned from launchpad blueprint https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/xenapi-resize-ephemeral-disks.

Description:

Currently, ephemeral disks are dropped and re-created.

However, now migrate has started moving ephemeral disks, resizes with ephemeral disks have been disabled:
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/xenapi-migrate-ephemeral-disks

This blueprint looks to bring back the resize of instances when there are ephemeral disks attached.

Given resize down is so fragile, consider not dealing with resize down.

Xen is not formally supported in RHELOSP at this time.
