With the new image handler, it creates an image proxy which will use the vdi streaming function from os-xenapi to remotely export VHD from XenServer(image upload) or import VHD to Xenerver(image download). The existing GlanceStore uses custom functionality to directly manipulate files on-disk, so it has the restriction that SR's type must be file system based: e.g. ext or nfs. The new image handler invokes APIs formally supported by XenServer to export/import VDI remotely, it can support other SR types also e.g. lvm, iscsi, etc. Note: vdi streaming would be supported by XenServer 6.5 or above. The function of image handler depends on os-xenapi 0.3.3 or above, so bump os-xenapi's version to 0.3.3 and also declare depends on the patch which bump version in openstack/requirements.

In the unfortunate event that bugs are discovered, they should be reported to the appropriate bug tracker. If you obtained the software from a 3rd party operating system vendor, it is often wise to use their own bug tracker for reporting problems. In all other cases use the master OpenStack bug tracker, available at:
