BTW, this is also an end user visible change as the VMs would see the disk move from /dev/vda to /dev/sda. Depending on how the VMs are configured, this may cause issues also for the end user.

Subject: [Openstack-operators] Converting existing instances from virtio-blk to virtio-scsi

Hi,

We currently have a private cloud running old instances using the virtio-blk driver and new instances using the virtio-scsi driver. We would like to convert all our existing instances to virtio-scsi but there doesn’t appear to be an official way to do this. Can I modify this in the openstack database? What parameters would I need to change? Is there an easier, less likely to break everything way?
