Description RHOS Integration 2013-12-31 05:03:37 UTC 
Cloned from launchpad blueprint https://blueprints.launchpad.net/cinder/+spec/create-multiple-volume-from-cli.

Description:

The goal of the blueprint is to allow the creation of more volumes at the same time (of sequentially) from the cinder create command. The idea is the same as nova, thus a new option (new parameter of 'create') should be added like so:

$ cinder create --num-volumes 3 --display-name volume <size>

The display name will be required attribute to identify the volumes created. It can either be kept required in case --num-volumes are created or can be created dynamically based on current timestamp

e.g.

$cinder create --num-volumes 3 --display-name testvolume 1

volume display names will be
testvolume-1
testvolume-2
testvolume-3

$cinder create --num-volumes 3 1

volume display names will be
20131230060056-1
20131230060056-2
20131230060056-3


This will also need additional input parameters on dashboard for number of volumes.

As per review comments from Duncan, the code changes will be in python-cinderclient. No code in cinder will be touched.
