Hi,

I am using Ceph as the backend for Cinder. Within Ceph we have defined 2 RBD pools (ssdvolumes, sasvolumes).
In OpenStack I created 2 Volume Types (ssd, sas). Each Volume Type has property "volume_backend_name='tripleo_ceph_<ssd|sas>'".

In the Cinder configuration I have the following backends configured:

[tripleo_ceph_ssd]
backend_host=hostgroup
volume_backend_name=tripleo_ceph_ssd
volume_driver=cinder.volume.drivers.rbd.RBDDriver
rbd_ceph_conf=/etc/ceph/ceph.conf
rbd_user=openstack
rbd_pool=ssdvolumes

[tripleo_ceph_sas]
backend_host=hostgroup
volume_backend_name=tripleo_ceph_sas
volume_driver=cinder.volume.drivers.rbd.RBDDriver
rbd_ceph_conf=/etc/ceph/ceph.conf
rbd_user=openstack
rbd_pool=sasvolumes

As you might have noticed, the backend name (tripleo_ceph_ssd) and the RBD pool name (ssdvolumes, not ssd) does not match. So far, we do not have any problems. But I want to correct the names and I do not want to have the mismatch anymore.

So I want to change the value of key volume_backend_name for both Volume Types (tripleo_ceph_ssd => tripleo_ceph_ssdvolumes).

I tried the following:
$ openstack volume type show 80cb25ff-376a-4483-b4f7-d8c75839e0ce

| qos_specs_id | None |
+--------------------+----------------------------------------+
$


$ openstack volume type set --property volume_backend_name='tripleo_ceph_ssdvolumes' 80cb25ff-376a-4483-b4f7-d8c75839e0ce

How to solve my problem?

Thanks!
