[openstack-dev] what code in cinder volume driver supports volume migration between two backends of same type but having different volume types? [cinder]

Nikesh,
The case you are trying is supposed to fail. You have a volume of type
dothill_realstor1 which is defined to say "this volume must be on backend
DotHill_RealStor1". This is a requirement that you defined for that
volume. Now you want to migrate it to realstor2, which is a violation of
the requirement that you specified. To migrate it, you should change the
volume type (retype), which changes the requirement.
Thanks,
Avishay
