Hi Valeriy,

VNX can support creating a share from snapshot using a different share network.

Thanks,
Xing

Subject: [openstack-dev] [Manila] Expected Manila behavior for creation of share from snapshot

Hi everyone,

At last IRC meeting<http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/meetings/manila/2015/manila.2015-05-14-15.00.log.html> was raised following question:

"Whether Manila should allow us to create shares from snapshots with different share networks or not?"

What do users/admins expect in that case?

For the moment Manila restricts creation of shares from snapshot with share network that is different than parent's.

From user point of view, he may want to copy share and use its copy in different network and it is valid case.

From developer point of view, he will be forced to rework logic of share servers creation for driver he maintains.

Also, how many back-ends are able to support such feature?

Regards,
Valeriy Ponomaryov
