My thanks to gcharot for writing the following up downstream a while ago
and highlighting some easy ways of achieving this.
The following assumes that the volume is already mapped and connected to
the localhost, in this case I'm just using the LVs used by the default
LVM/iSCSI c-vol backend in my devstack env.
It also assumes you have access to the secrets associated with the
encrypted volume, by default admins do not.
- Starting with an encrypted volume
$ sudo qemu-img info --output=json /dev/stack-volumes-lvmdriver-1/volume-d4cc53db-6add-4c29-9f96-42a5498f8bd0 | jq .format
"luks"
- Fetch and store the key locally
$ openstack secret get --payload_content_type 'application/octet-stream' http://192.168.122.208/key-manager/v1/secrets/6fd4f879-005d-4b7d-9e5f-2505f010be7c --file mysecret.key
- Use dmcrypt to decrypt the device using the key as a passphrase
$ yes $(hexdump -e '16/1 "%02x"' mysecret.key) | sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/stack-volumes-lvmdriver-1/volume-d4cc53db-6add-4c29-9f96-42a5498f8bd0 volume-d4cc53db-6add-4c29-9f96-42a5498f8bd0
- This should leave you with the decrypted volume under /dev/mapper
$ sudo qemu-img info /dev/mapper/volume-d4cc53db-6add-4c29-9f96-42a5498f8bd0
image: /dev/mapper/volume-d4cc53db-6add-4c29-9f96-42a5498f8bd0

Hope this helps!
