Cinder Snapshots aren't directly consumable by Xen (or any
hypervisor), but instead they're used to do things like create a new
volume from that snapshot.  The snapshot object doesn't have any
connector info associated with it.  Not sure if I fully understand
what you're describing, if not clarify a bit and I'll see if I can
help.

Thanks,
John
