Hi All,
I'm installing a new storage backend to my cinder environment and
would *really* like to move my existing volumes to it.
I did this once before moving from LVM on a storage nod to a SAN based
solution with the cinder volume service running on the controller
node. for that case:
cinder migrate <uuid> <new-node>
worked just fine. The migration I want to do involves two backends on
the same cinder-volume server. Looking in the database I tried:
cinder migrate <uuid> <same-node>@<new-backend>
which did put the volume in to "migration_status=starting" with no
error, but 3hr later doesn't seem to have done anything else.
Is this supposed to work or am I just being crazy?
volume server is Icehouse on Ubuntu14.04 the source backend is eqlx
the destination is rbd.
-Jon
