[stein][manila] share migration misconfiguration ?

Hello Ignazio,

If you are attempting to migrate between 2 NetApp backends, then you
shouldn't need to worry about correctly setting the data_node_access_ip.
Your ideal migration scenario is a driver-assisted-migration, since it is
between 2 NetApp backends. If that fails due to misconfiguration, it will
fallback to a host-assisted migration, which will use the
data_node_access_ip and the host will attempt to mount both shares. This is
not what you want for this scenario, as this is useful for different
backends, not your case.

if you specify "manila migration-start --preserve-metadata True" it will
prevent the fallback to host-assisted, so it is easier for you to narrow
down the issue with the host-assisted migration out of the way.

I used to be familiar with the NetApp driver set up to review your case,
however that was a long time ago. I believe the current NetApp driver
maintainers will be able to more accurately review your case and spot the
problem.

If you could share some info about your scenario such as:

1) the 2 backends config groups in manila.conf (sanitized, without
passwords)
2) a "manila show" of the share you are trying to migrate (sanitized if
needed)
3) the "manila migration-start" command you are using and its parameters.

Regards,
