For Share Migration, I am looking into integrating it with "Private Driver Storage" as Valeriy mentioned. The purpose is in fact different than not displaying the volume being migrated to the user, we are attempting to not use a temporary DB entry at all. I am not sure how this will play out, especially when doing clean up error state, which is a very important part of migration.
Rodrigo how would that work? Both of the proposals we discussed earlier (for migration) did involve 2 database rows, and the difference between the approaches was how to reconcile the IDs. I didn't actually hear much of the session in Vancouver due to the weak microphone so if you've come up with a 3rd approach I'd love to hear about it.

It could be used for migration, though the fields essentially map onto almost all of the fields already in a volume; that isn't necessarily a problem, and the fact we have a volume object shim now might make it easier. I don't think this is a good match for image caching; the special tenant seems like a better match for that. If snapshots have admin metadata, then the same approach as migration might be usable for the 'hidden' volume needed to do generic backup-from-snap.

I think for the migration use case this would definitely solve the issue, but for the image cache we would need more as we would be creating volume objects and need to track them in the Cinder database. We could use a system like that to essentially put a 'hidden' flag in the meta-data entries of the cached images, but its not much better than just adding a hidden flag in regards to having to filter them out from api calls and not accounting for them in quota anywhere. Alternatives for using a special tenant are definitely worth considering, I admit its not really an ideal solution, but it happens to be fairly appealing for the problem we are solving. I'll take a closer look at the Manilla changes and adjust the spec's I have for cinder as needed. -Patrick On Wed, May 27, 2015 at 11:01 PM, Sheng Bo Hou <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Hi Valeriy, Thank you for telling me about the private driver storage feature from Manila. I have reviewed the patch and it can definitely resolve the dummy destination volume issue I have during migration in Cinder. I do not deny that it is a good approach. However, I need to put Patrick in the CC list to make him aware of this. During the previous Cinder IRC, we made an agreement that Cinder will go along this approach to consider all the common issues by introducing a cinder-internal tenant. Please check the cinder-spec: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/186232/. I guess cinder will go along this approach. @Patrick, I am not sure what our implementation is gonna be. Is it possible that similar data model can be used for cinder as it is in Manila?

That is going to serve for not-user facing data storage related to any resource that can be reached by both - API and share driver. And in case of share migration, it will be possible to avoid creation of "temporary share" DB record and use this data storage for storing all required data per each share. Please, look at it, and provide feedback, whether such approach can be used in your case or not and why.

I am working on all the migration issues in Cinder. I had one session for the Cinder migration issue in Vancouver and some of you folks attended it. The etherpad link is _https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/volume-migration-improvement_ Per the issue that we had better not let the user see the target volume during migration when issuing command "cinder list", we can add an additional flag into the volume table, for example, "hidden", into it. The default value is 0, meaning that it will display for "cinder list". For the target volume during migration. We can set it to 1, so the user will not be able to see it with the command "cinder list". I think it is a straightforward approach we can go with. I just sync up with you folks, so that we can have a consistent way to resolve this issue in both Cinder and Manila. I just need to make sure we are on the same page. Is this solution OK with you folks? Especially @Rodrigo Barbieri and @Erlon Cruz, etc. Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks.
